Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fallen of Albaz as a Fusion/Synchro material leading to 2500-3000 ATK Fusion bosses (Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Lubellion, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Mirrorjade) (Inferred from card text); Synchro and Fusion boards built from Ecclesia/Cartesia/Quem tuners; Mulcharmy draw engine for card advantage (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Nadir Servant or Aluber searches a Despia/Branded piece, then Fallen of Albaz or Fallen of the White Dragon opens a Fusion route into a boss (Inferred, text-only, no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru, Solemn Judgment) to answer the opponent's first board, then Fusion or Synchro conversion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion through Ecclesia and Fallen GY effects plus Mulcharmy draw effects (Inferred from card text; not verified in boards)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

Scored as a system, not by averaging card scores. The Despia, Branded and Fallen core is present in 27 copies, and the hypergeometric estimate for at least one core card in a 5-card opening is about 0.97, so the engine is usually reachable (Inferred). Conversion into pressure relies on Fusion and Synchro bosses at 2500-3000 ATK, but the deck has no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates (Inferred). Interaction is dense (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Solemn Judgment, Droll and Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Harpie's Feather Duster) and the going-second hand-trap estimate is about 0.72, which lifts the going-second read (Inferred). The deck is Illegal: three cards exceed their Semi-Limited limit, it has no Side Deck, and exact-name purity is only 7.1 percent, which weakens consistency and post-side play. Popularity earned no points; archetype usage stats only confirmed the core. The score is capped at 35 because the list is Illegal, so it is structural and theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58.2, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Weak post-side plan (-4); Illegal list cap (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*58.2 + 0.20*45 - 10 = 45.6; capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural only). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine is almost always reachable (about 0.97 for at least one core card in a 5-card opening, Inferred)
• Dense hand-trap and negation coverage on going second (about 0.72, Inferred)
• High-ATK Fusion and Synchro boss options in the Extra Deck (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: three cards exceed their Semi-Limited copy limit (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Many single-copy tech and conditional cards inflate brick risk (Inferred)
• Exact-name purity 7.1 percent; the list spreads across related sub-archetypes (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz is the Fusion material for most boss routes; losing it to a single removal effect cuts many Extra Deck lines (Inferred)
• Legal copy limits must be fixed before the list can be scored as a normal deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 3 cards over Semi-Limited limit; Side count 0; Main 55 / Extra 15 composition; Exact-name purity 7.1 percent; Boss ATK values from card data
• Inferred: P(at least one core-group card in opening hand) about 0.97; Going-second hand-trap estimate about 0.72; Combo routes and ceiling from card text; Interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power; Matchup fit (D13); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo data has 0 boards, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup results unknown Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Data inconsistency: usage statistics marks Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon, Titaniklad the Ash Dragon, Rindbrumm the Striking Dragon and Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon as not in deck, but the cards list has them in the Extra Deck. core-card presence (56) is therefore understated and was not used for scoring No Side Deck is registered (Side Deck size 0)
