Branded Deck #774468 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion, Synchro
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Fallen of Albaz-linked boss monsters (Granguignol, Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Hyperinvoked Aeon, Secreterion) from Extra Deck, using Branded Fusion, Fallen of Albaz and Blazing Cartesia as the Fusion engine; Synchro and Fusion bosses from Extra Deck (Three Champions of Swordsoul, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon) after a Dogmatika/Ecclesia starter line
• Turn 1 (going first): Nadir Servant or Aluber/Ecclesia searches into a Fallen of Albaz-sourced Fusion, protected by Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre against the first interruption; the Semi-Limited copy counts are illegal so this plan cannot be run as built
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Lock Bird, Great Gallant Bandit, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first line, then recover with Pot of Sloth and a Fusion from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Branded Retribution and Fallen & The Virtuous recursion of Fallen of Albaz from GY; Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw when the hand empties
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 cards), so no post-side plan is defined; a best-of-3 build would need one

Why it scores here

This list would not be legal to play as built: three Semi-Limited cards are run three times each, so the score is capped and the evaluation is structural only. The score comes from the system rather than from averaging card scores: a Fallen of Albaz engine (Fallen of Albaz, Fallen of the White Dragon, Branded Fusion, Blazing Cartesia) reliably reaches a Fusion from the Extra Deck, and the Extra Deck is well stocked with 2500-3800 ATK bosses. Ten hand traps and three Ash Blossoms give real interaction density, which is why D7 and D9 are the strongest scores. Brick risk is high because 23 of 56 main cards are Level 0 spells and several Extra Deck restrictions (Branded Fusion, Branded Opening, Fallen of Albaz) conflict with each other, and there is no side deck. Archetype popularity and the 7 exact Branded names do not earn points; the engine is spread over Dogmatika, Albaz Dragon, Despia, Greed and Mulcharmy, which lowers purity to 9.9%.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57.7, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4); illegal cap (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 55.2 before modifiers; Illegal cap applied, final set to 30 (structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · 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

• Layered hand traps and negation text (10 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards)
• Strong Extra Deck closing power (2500-3800 ATK bosses)
• Extra Deck coverage across Fusion and Synchro with 15 cards
• Searcher density (15 cards with searcher text, P(>=1 in 5) = 0.80)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on three Semi-Limited cards
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 plan
• Low exact-archetype purity (9.9%) and an off-archetype tech and Greed/Mulcharmy mix
• High brick and conflicting-restriction risk from Level 0 spells and Extra Deck summon limits

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (1 copy) and Fallen of the White Dragon (2 copies) as the Fusion starter line
• Branded Fusion (Limited, 1 copy) as the only archetype Fusion spell

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: three Semi-Limited cards over the copy limit (Illegal); Card text and stats for all 56 main and 15 Extra Deck cards; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown (13 Fusion, 2 Synchro)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap probabilities; Brick and conflict estimate from composition; Interaction and closing read from card text
• Provisional: Median output (no recorded boards); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data); Post-side plan (no side deck); Meta power (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck (going first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) No side deck registered (0 cards) Deck title is null Meta power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No guides attached (0 guides for the archetype)
