Red-Eyes Deck #629154 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Large Dragonmaid Fusion monsters (Dragonmaid Sheou, House Dragonmaid, Lady's Dragonmaid) and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, all reached through Extra Deck summons (text-only read, Inferred); Link Monsters (Link Spider, Striker Dragon, Knightmare Phoenix, Hieratic Seal, Salamangreat Almiraj) extending into Fusion/Link summons (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Dragonmaid searcher or Dragonmaid Changeover into a Dragon Fusion, using Dark Hole or Mistaken Arrest / Mystical Space Typhoon to clear backrow (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, D.D. Crow) and Solemn Strike to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Dragonmaid recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY and banishment through Dragonmaid Cehrmba, Lorpar, Nurse Dragonmaid and Dragonmaid Changeover, plus Monster Reincarnation and Pot of Duality for card flow (Inferred)
• After siding: Not applicable: side_count is 0 and Master Duel has no post-side step in this build

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: a Dragonmaid-led Fusion shell with Red-Eyes and Link support, a dense interaction suite (Dark Hole, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Strike, hand traps) and recursion through the GY, not an average of its card scores. Only 6 of 60 main-deck copies carry the exact Red-Eyes name (8% purity) against 34 Dragonmaid copies, so the list reads as a Dragonmaid deck wearing a Red-Eyes label, and the engine coherence and Red-Eyes core access are weak (the archetype core cards are present at 1 of 25 usage-stat entries). The 3-copy Solemn Strike and 3-copy Super Polymerization break Master Duel's copy limits, so the deck is Illegal and receives a structural-only theoretical score capped at 25 rather than a normal contextual score. No boards were recorded and no tournament or win-rate data exists, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and Meta Power is provisional. Popularity and archetype stats do not raise the score here.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile used; Toolbox secondary not blended numerically. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 45.6, then context modifiers (-10) = 35.6, then Illegal cap applied (theoretical/structural-only) = 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · 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

• Dense interaction suite: Dark Hole, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Strike, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit (Inferred from text)
• Strong Extra Deck end boards: Dragonmaid Sheou (3500 ATK) and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon (2800 ATK) (Verified stat)
• Multiple GY recursion effects give a second line after interruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Solemn Strike and Super Polymerization
• Archetype identity mismatch: Dragonmaid dominates while the deck is labelled Red-Eyes (8% exact purity)
• Red-Eyes core usage cards are missing (1 of 25 core entries present)
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Dragonmaid Fusion summons depend on a Dragonmaid monster in hand or field plus a Dragon in the GY or field (Inferred)
• Solemn Strike at 3 copies is a rules violation, not just a construction choice

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal copy counts: Solemn Strike 3 vs limit 1, Super Polymerization 3 vs limit 2; Main 60 and Extra 15 are within Master Duel size rules; Archetype spread: Dragonmaid 34, Red-Eyes 6, exact-name purity 8%; Usage stats: 1 of 25 core cards present (4%)
• Inferred: Starter access: P(at least 1 Red-Eyes core copy in hand of 5) ~ 0.23; Hand-trap P(at least 1 in 6 going second) ~ 0.54; Dragonmaid recursion and Fusion lines as the working plan; Interaction density and resilience scores from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit and side-deck adaptability (no tournament or side data)
• Data gaps: No combos: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, brick or OTK rates Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; deck identity rests on the card list alone
