Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Synchro and Fusion boss monsters (Chengying, Mirrorjade, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Protos) reached through Swordsoul and Ecclesia engine lines; Recursive Fallen of Albaz Fusion and Synchro lines via Fallen of the White Dragon, Blazing Cartesia and Golden Swordsoul
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open a Swordsoul or Branded searcher (Emergence, Branded in High Spirits, Ecclesia), extend into a Synchro with Swordsoul Strategist or Mo Ye, and protect the line with Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C, Fydraulis) to stop the opponent's summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw and Synchro boards
  • Recovery: Recurse Swordsoul Emergence and Strategist from the GY and banish, and use Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia to refill the hand
  • After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck, so the post-side plan is a T1 re-route only

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: the archetype core is in about 99.5% of opening hands, and the nine searcher-text cards give roughly a 74% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opener, which supports an Inferred D1 near 70. Its ceiling comes from the Extra Deck's boss monsters (Chengying, Mirrorjade, Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Protos), whose ATK and text read as strong closers, though no recorded boards exist to confirm them. Interaction is layered across three Ash Blossom, two Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Fydraulis Harmonia and Baronne/Luluwalilith in the Extra Deck, which earns the D7 score. The main weaknesses are a 23.6% exact-archetype purity, a long single-copy tail, and a heavy Extra Deck dependence on Fallen of Albaz, which lowers D2 and D10. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real but did not add points, and scores were not averaged from card scores.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 70 P(≥1 searcher in 5-card opener) ≈ 0.74; archetype-core in opener ≈ 0.995; starter access via Emergence and Branded in High Spirits (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 62 Six hand traps and nine searchers give functional hands, but many single-copy Extra Deck dependencies on Fallen of Albaz raise brick risk; full-brick estimate not computed (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 70 Ceiling from Chengying, Chixiao, Three Champions and Dragon that Devours the Dogma texts; no parseable boards in combo data (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 58 combo data has no boards, so median is text-only; many lines need two or three specific pieces to reach a Synchro (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 66 Ash Blossom ×3, Droll ×2, Maxx C and Fydraulis plus a second Fallen-of-Albaz line allow continuation after one interruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 64 Recursion via Emergence and Strategist banish/GY effects and Mulcharmy draw engine supports grind (Inferred from card text)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 72 Layered interaction: Baronne de Fleur, Luluwalilith, Three Champions, Chixiao, Protos, Crossout Designator, The Fallen & The Virtuous removal (Verified text, Inferred quality)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 66 Hand traps and Maxx C cover going-second summons; board-breaking is provided by Protos and Chengying (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 70 Chengying 3000 ATK/DEF, Mirrorjade 3000 ATK and Dragon that Devours the Dogma 3000 ATK are the closers (Verified stat, Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 62 40 main with 21 distinct cards; nine single-copy slots and 23.6% exact-archetype purity lower coherence (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 66 Full 15-card Extra Deck of 14 distinct boss monsters across Synchro and Fusion; several need specific Albaz or Swordsoul material (Verified composition, Inferred flex)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 50 Master Duel has no side deck (side count 0); scored neutral and Provisional
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 50 No dated metagame or tournament link; archetype meta-share absent (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 52 Multiple engine branches (Swordsoul, Ecclesia, Albaz, Branded) with several decision points per turn raise error risk (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary blend applied. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-2)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

  • Archetype core present in nearly every opening hand
  • Layered hand traps and removal covering the Extra Deck boss monsters
  • Multiple boss options (Synchro and Fusion) that give closing power

Weaknesses

  • Low exact-archetype purity (23.6%) across several sub-archetypes
  • Heavy dependence on Fallen of Albaz for several Extra Deck monsters
  • Limited and Semi-Limited cards at risk from banlist updates

Critical choke points

  • Fallen of Albaz is single-copy, but Fallen of the White Dragon and Blazing Cartesia also feed the Albaz lines, so the choke point is partly covered
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 One single-copy tech card with the least archetype overlap A second Swordsoul searcher or an extra Mulcharmy draw card Raises the chance of a functional opening and reduces the number of one-of dead draws without changing the engine

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legal status, 40/15/0 sizes, copy limits and banlist tokens; Card text for the listed boss monsters and hand traps; Usage statistics showing the archetype core is present
  • Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and searcher access; Brick risk and recovery estimates; Ceiling and closing power read from text
  • Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
  • 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 (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
