When a face-up "Blue-Eyes" monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, and you have a Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, inflict 600 damage to your opponent for each Dragon-Type monster with different names in your Graveyard. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Target 1 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard; this card's ATK becomes equal to that monster's. If this card on the field is destroyed by a card effect: Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.
Deep-Eyes White Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion, Board breaker
Why it scores here
Deep-Eyes White Dragon's value depends on a Blue-Eyes monster being destroyed first, so it is rarely live in hand on its own. When it does come online, its text supports a Special Summon from hand with up to 600 damage per different-named Dragon in the Graveyard, an ATK copy from a Dragon in the Graveyard, and a field-wide destruction if it is destroyed by a card effect. The score is held down by the conditional access, the absence of any recorded combo data, and a text that is locked to the Blue-Eyes archetype; the 0 ATK/DEF in the evidence earns nothing and the high-impact text is not scored on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Needs a face-up Blue-Eyes destroyed by battle or an opponent's effect plus a Dragon in the GY before it can be Special Summoned from hand; no searcher evidence in the pack (verified text, inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text allows up to 600 damage per different-named Dragon in the GY and a board wipe, but combo data has 0 appearances, so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Hand Special Summon costs no card and the GY Dragon ATK copy is free, but there is no searching, draw, or card advantage line in the text (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Destroy-all-opponent-monsters on card-effect destruction is a strong sweep, but it is conditional and no opponent-interaction stats are supplied (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Level 10 Light Dragon is a plausible high-level material body, with no material stats supplied (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The summon and wipe effects need specific conditions and can be shut off by a single interruption; no survival or redundancy data (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Appears as a 1-of to 3-of in 400 recent decks (avg 1.65 copies, 120 decks at 3), but it is tied to the Blue-Eyes core, so it is a slot commitment (observed deck stats, inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand Special Summon is conditional but free once its Blue-Eyes trigger is met
- Potential board wipe when destroyed by a card effect
- Dragon GY dependency gives a text-level damage ceiling that scales with Dragon variety
Weaknesses
- Needs a Blue-Eyes monster destroyed before it is live in hand
- No combo or searcher evidence in the pack
- Text is locked to the Blue-Eyes archetype, limiting portability despite 34 distinct archetypes in the deck sample
Counters / choke points
- Opponent's monster removal or negation that stops the trigger or destroys it without the wipe window
- Board-based removal before the Blue-Eyes trigger resolves
Best use
Boss/End-board piece with recursion from the Graveyard for Blue-Eyes lists. Decks: Blue-Eyes. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Three effect units: hand Special Summon on Blue-Eyes destruction with a Dragon in GY, GY-Dragon ATK copy on Normal/Special Summon, and destroy-all-opponent-monsters when destroyed by a card effect; Level 10 Light Dragon in the Blue-Eyes archetype
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 recent decks, 49.2% in Blue-Eyes lists, avg 1.65 copies (120 decks at 3); Co-present in 97.8% of decks with Blue-Eyes White Dragon
- Inferred: Conditional access is the main limit on accessibility; Blue-Eyes lock is the main limit on portability
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
