Identity & game plan

Win condition: Fusion Summon a large Albaz/Branded boss (Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Albion the Branded Dragon, Despian Proskenion, Titaniklad) and convert the board with ATK and boss effects (Inferred from card text).; Fallen-of-Albaz-aliased Dragons (Fallen of the White Dragon x2, Albion the Shrouded Dragon) as recurring Fusion material and extra pressure (Inferred).
Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fallen of Albaz-named hand starter (Fallen of the White Dragon x2 or Albion the Shrouded Dragon) or Branded in High Spirits / Nadir Servant to search Albaz pieces, then Branded Fusion or Super Polymerization into a Fusion boss (Inferred).
Turn 2 (going second): Use the 4 hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Maxx C x1) and Forbidden Droplet to strip the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through the GY-summon Albaz engine (Inferred).
Recovery: Fallen of Albaz-named monsters and Blazing Cartesia summon from the GY, plus Branded Retribution and Tri-Brigade Mercourier recursion (Inferred).
After siding: Not assessable: side_count is 0 and no post-side data exists in the evidence.

Why it scores here

The deck's strongest feature is its starter access: the Albaz-named hand starters, the Branded in High Spirits and Nadir Servant searchers, and the archetype core give an Inferred P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opener) of about 0.93. Fusion conversion is credible on paper, with 13 Fusion and 2 Synchro Extra Deck monsters, a full 15-card Extra Deck, and several 2500–3200 ATK bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is text-inferred. Interaction is layered through four hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Branded Retribution, and Golden Swordsoul, and it is more reliable going second than the rest of the deck. Score comes from consistency, Extra Deck conversion, and interaction on the whole system, not from the popularity of Branded (the guides and usage stats confirm the list is real, which earns no points by itself) and not from averaging card scores. Five restricted cards run at their legal maximum, five Mulcharmy/off-theme copies dilute the engine, and the absence of a side plan and of meta data keeps the score in the mid-60s.

Dimension scores

#	Dimension	Score	Evidence
D1	Engine Accessibility & Consistency	74	P(at least one searcher-text card in 5 cards) ≈ 0.93, archetype core P ≈ 0.99; hand starters include two Fallen-of-Albaz-aliased Dragons (Inferred from probabilities block and card text).
D2	Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management	58	Five Mulcharmy copies need an empty board and Forbidden Droplet needs discard fodder, so roughly a fifth of the main deck is conditional (Inferred from composition and card text).
D3	Combo Conversion & Ceiling	70	Fusion boss ceiling is text-supported by 2500–3200 ATK Extra Deck monsters and Albaz recursion, but combos_evidence is empty (Inferred).
D4	Combo Floor & Median Output	60	No recorded boards exist, so median output is unmeasured and estimated from starter diversity alone (Inferred).
D5	Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy	66	Four hand traps plus GY recursion through Fallen-of-Albaz aliases and Blazing Cartesia give two or more independent lines after one disruption (Inferred from card text).
D6	Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind	60	Heavy Fusion spend is offset by Maxx C, Mulcharmy draws, and Branded Retribution recursion, so the grind is moderate (Inferred from card text).
D7	End-Board & Interaction Quality	68	Ash Blossom x3, Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet, Branded Retribution, Golden Swordsoul, and Tri-Brigade Mercourier give layered negation (Inferred from role_hint_tags and text_role_hints).
D8	Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power	58	Hand-trap coverage going second is P(≥1 of 4 in a 6-card hand) ≈ 0.48, so disruption is real but not reliable (Inferred from probabilities).
D9	Offensive Pressure & Closing Power	72	End-board ATK reaches 2500–3200 across Extra Deck bosses, though the main-deck attacker count is low (Verified stat from card data, Inferred for closing).
D10	Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility	55	41 main cards sit inside the 40–60 range with 24 distinct cards, but exact-name Branded purity is only 17.9% (10 of 56 archetype-relevant copies) (Verified count, Inferred read).
D11	Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage	70	A full 15-card Extra Deck with 13 Fusion and 2 Synchro cards gives high coverage with limited flex slots (Verified composition).
D12	Side Deck Adaptability	35	Zero side cards and no post-side data, so adaptability cannot be assessed (Provisional).
D13	Matchup Coverage & Format Fit	50	tournament_context is unavailable and no dated meta sample is supplied, so matchup fit is neutral at 50 (Provisional).
D14	Pilotability & Error Tolerance	42	Alias-based lines (Fallen of Albaz names), Fusion material choices, and multi-step GY recursion are demanding to pilot (Inferred from example text).
