Red-Eyes Deck #650628 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox, Link/Fusion/Synchro mechanics
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Fusion Extra Deck boss monsters (Borrelshroud, Borrelend, Chaos Angel, Borrelsword) at 3000-3500 ATK, backed by Rokket and Borrel negations; Bystial and Red-Eyes dragons converting banished or graveyard monsters into Special Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Rokket monster with Rokket Loader or Absorouter Dragon, Link Summon through the Extra Deck, and hold Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence x2, Borrel Reboot, Rokket Detonator) to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through searchers
• Recovery: Recover from interruption using searcher text (13 cards) and recursion from the graveyard (Absorouter Dragon, Rokket Recharger)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs an empty Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This deck cannot receive a normal score: it runs Called by the Grave, a Forbidden card, at one copy, so the legality cap applies and the 25 is a structural-only ceiling, not a playable rating. Structurally, the Rokket cluster (18 copies across sub-archetypes, 13 searcher-text cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opener) ≈ 0.88) gives the engine reasonable access, and five hand traps plus ten negation-text cards give it real interruption resilience. The Extra Deck (Borrelshroud, Borrelend, Chaos Angel, Borrelsword, Borreload Furious) supplies closing power at 3000-3500 ATK. Its weaknesses are the absence of any recorded combo boards, an exact-name archetype purity of 3.6% against a 'Red-Eyes' label, and only 3 of 25 archetype-core cards present, so the consistency read is Inferred. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system; it does not come from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity, which earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*55 + 0.20*48 - 8 (banlist exposure) ≈ 46; capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal. Theoretical/structural only. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Searcher density (13 cards) gives the engine high access in opening hands
• Five hand traps plus ten negation-text cards provide interruption resilience
• Extra Deck closers at 3000-3500 ATK
• Extra Deck fully used with no flex slots, so every link and fusion line has a route

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Called by the Grave (Forbidden) is run at 1 copy
• No recorded combo boards, so combo floor and median are unmeasured
• Archetype label is Red-Eyes but the body is Rokket and Borrel (3.6% exact-name purity)
• Only 3 of 25 archetype-core cards present (Maxx C and Max Metalmorph at 100% inclusion are absent)
• Empty Side Deck removes any post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Rokket monsters are required by many lines (Double Interlock, Borrelshroud, Quadborrel), so losing the Rokket cluster to a single interruption collapses several routes
• Forbidden Called by the Grave makes the list unplayable as built until removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal; Called by the Grave is Forbidden at 1 copy (legal 0); Bystial Magnamhut and Foolish Burial are Limited at 1 copy each (legal); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 meet size rules; Extra Deck: 11 Link, 2 Synchro, 2 Fusion; Usage stats: 3 of 25 archetype-core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand access probabilities (searcher group 0.88, core group 0.43); Consistency, brick and interruption-resilience estimates; Interaction density from negation text; Closing power from link and fusion ATK
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Archetype label Red-Eyes does not match the Rokket/Borrel body; the archetype field may be mis-tagged
