Despia Deck #773663 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fallen of Albaz Fusion boards (Mirrorjade, Rindbrumm, Lubellion, Titaniklad, Borreload) and Despian Proskenion as the boss; Synchro and Fusion follow-ups through Ecclesia and Swordsoul Synchros, with Albion as a forbidden-card option that cannot be legally run
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Fallen of Albaz or Aluber from hand, add Branded/Dogmatika pieces, and Fusion Summon a Level 8 boss through Branded Fusion or Super Polymerization; hand traps protect the line (inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister, Nibiru, Droll) to stop the opponent, then transition into the Fusion engine (inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Recover through Fallen of Albaz and Branded/Dogmatika searchers from Deck or GY, plus Extra Deck revival effects on Despian Proskenion and Mirrorjade (inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

Scored as a connected Fusion system, not as an average of card power. The archetype core is heavily represented (P(at least one core card in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.97, Inferred), so the deck opens functional plans often, and Fallen of Albaz plus its searchers give a real engine route. Interaction is the strongest area: 14 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards let it answer many plays on both turns, which supports the going-second score. The deck has no recorded boards, no median output, no tournament link and no side deck, so the floor and ceiling are text-only inference and confidence is Low. The score is capped because the list is Illegal: three copies of Semi-Limited cards, two copies of Limited cards and forbidden Albion and Called by the Grave cannot be played in the TCG format. Popularity did not earn points, since the deck's archetype usage data only confirms that the core cards are common.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, no meta sample (Meta provisional). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); dependence on one Extra-Deck card (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 55.4, then modifiers (-10) = 45.4; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Fallen of Albaz and its searchers give multiple routes to a Fusion starter
• 14 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards give interaction on both turns
• Level 8 Fusion bosses with 3000 ATK are available

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on 7 cards and two forbidden cards
• No side deck
• Low archetype purity (7.1% exact name) with a wide spread of sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor is unknown

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz as the common starter for most Fusion routes
• Branded Fusion and Super Polymerization as the Fusion enablers, both limited or semi-limited

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 7 copy-limit violations, including forbidden Albion and Called by the Grave; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0; Archetype composition: 7.1% exact-name purity; 13 Fusion and 2 Synchro in the Extra Deck; Printed ATK/DEF of key bosses (e.g. Despian Proskenion 3200)
• Observed: Usage stats: 16 of 25 core cards present (64%)
• Inferred: P(at least one core card in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.97; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text flags; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Median output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered
