Buster Blader Deck #683153 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Blue-Eyes and Destruction Sword summons (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Indigo-Eyes Silver Dragon, Stardust Sifr, Blue-Eyes Tyrant) converting into board advantage and lethal attacks; Blue-Eyes White Dragon recursion through Wishes, Roar and Spirit/Sage line extension
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage or Maiden, search a Tuner via Sage or Wishes, reach a Blue-Eyes Tuner plus non-Tuner synchro or Link setup on turn 1-2, protecting the line with Ash Blossom and Droll
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Evenly Matched, Artifact Lancea) to break the opponent's first board, then a Blue-Eyes synchro or Fusion through the remaining Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recover via Mausoleum of White, Destruction Sword Memories, Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman, and Spirit with Eyes of Blue link plays from the Graveyard and Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is an archetype core (about 88.5 percent to open at least one core card in a 5-card hand, Inferred) that feeds a wide Extra Deck of Blue-Eyes and Destruction Sword synchro, Link and Fusion finishers. Interaction is dense (11 hand traps, Droll, Ash, Evenly Matched, Crossout Designator, Drillbeam, Forbidden Droplet), which lifts the endboard and going-second scores. The score is held down by the lack of a side deck, the low exact-archetype purity (0 percent exact name, 74 off-archetype copies across Blue-Eyes, Destruction Sword, Primite and Mulcharmy), and the absence of any recorded board data. Popularity and archetype usage were not used to earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The four copy-limit or Forbidden violations make the list illegal, so the score is capped and the evaluation is theoretical/structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Toolbox secondary (approx 80/20 for structural purposes). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 55; minus 12 banlist-exposure modifier = 43; capped to 30 because legality is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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: hand traps, Droll, Evenly Matched, Crossout Designator and Drillbeam
• Multiple Extra Deck threats with high ATK and DEF (3500-4000 ATK)
• Large archetype core (20 copies) with strong starter redundancy for the Blue-Eyes lines

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and Forbidden violations must be fixed before it is playable
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity; many splash and generic cards dilute the engine
• Tuner and Level-0 density makes many hands non-functional

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon count is 2, so the Blue-Eyes Extra Deck lines depend on drawing it
• Dependence on Sage with Eyes of Blue and Maiden of White for Tuner access

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 4 copy-limit or Forbidden violations, size 59/15/0 is within size rules; Card text and stats for all 59 main and 15 extra cards are resolved; Archetype purity is 0 percent exact-name, 74 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws; Interaction quality from negation and removal text tags; Going-first and going-second strength from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied (total_combos 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Data inconsistency: usage_statistics lists Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon (11443677) as not in deck, but the card list includes it at 1 copy in the Extra Deck; treated as a data gap, not as evidence Deck title is null and no side deck is present
