Blue-Eyes Deck #701726 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Synchro, Tuner-centric
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summon into Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon to establish a negation board and grind advantage; Fusion-based payoffs via Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon or direct damage through Buster Blader synergy lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level-1 Tuner (Sage/Maiden/Buster Whelp), search or extend via Primite/Mulcharmy engine, Synchro into a boss monster with interaction (negation, GY recursion block)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Veiler, Impermanence) to slow opponent; generate resources via Mulcharmy Fuwalos if board is clear; attempt Synchro breaklines if materials survive
• Recovery: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon GY negation, Mulcharmy draw trigger on opponent's Extra Deck summons, recursion from Primite and Destruction Sword engine; limited redundancy if core Tuner materials are disrupted
• After siding: No Side Deck present; no adaptation available

Why it scores here

This Blue-Eyes deck reliably opens a Tuner-into-Synchro engine with 69.6% probability of at least one starter in opening hand (Inferred). It converts consistently into Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon boards carrying negation and GY-recursion interaction. However, the deck suffers from conflicting engines: Primite Lordly Lode disables Extra Deck summons post-activation (limiting Synchro payoff), Mulcharmy Fuwalos demands an empty board to activate, and the Destruction Sword splice adds garnets (Buster Blader, Buster Whelp search redundancy) without clear synergy to the core Tuner lines. With only 40% core card presence against archetype standards and no Side Deck, the deck lacks resilience to repeated disruption and post-game adaptation. Popularity or tournament usage did not contribute to this score; the evaluation reflects the system's internal coherence and consistency.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 51. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-3); Engine conflict penalty (-2); Core card shortfall (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.7 · 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

• Tuner accessibility: 15 Tuner monsters at 21.3% deck ratio; robust starter redundancy (Sage, Maiden, Buster Whelp, Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom) enables consistent T1 Synchro setup
• Synchro end-board layering: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon both carry negation + GY-recursion block, providing two-turn interaction durability
• Hand-trap density: 9 copies (Ash, Veiler, Impermanence) offer 75.2% opening-hand coverage going second, enabling reactive disruption
• Recursion ecosystem: Primite Dragon Ether Beryl, Primite Lordly Lode, Destruction Sword Memories, and True Light enable light grind value across turns
• Extra Deck flexibility: 7 Synchro options + 3 Fusion + 4 Link + 1 Xyz provide coverage for varied line outcomes

Weaknesses

• Engine conflict and brick risk: Primite Lordly Lode locks Extra Deck post-activation (incompatible with core Synchro strategy); Mulcharmy Fuwalos requires board-empty activation; these collide with the primary Tuner-into-Synchro axis
• Core card shortfall: Only 40% of archetype standard core present; missing Ultimate Fusion (draw engine), Indigo-Eyes Silver Dragon (Fusion payoff), Ultimate Spirit Dragon (interaction ceiling), Crossout Designator, Called by the Grave, and Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon reduce consistency and resilience
• Single choke-point fragility: Disruption of one Tuner or searcher often blocks the entire line; limited independent routes to rebuild after disruption
• Going-second weakness: No board wipe or consistent OTK; removal suite (Forbidden Droplet, Primite Drillbeam) is reactive; going-second winning rate likely <40%
• No Side Deck: Zero slots for post-game adaptation; locked into a single strategy across all three games in best-of-3 format
• Median combo floor uncertainty: No logged boards; inferred median output (Level-9 Synchro, single negate) may not reflect real game frequency

Critical choke points

• Primite Lordly Lode activation cripples Extra Deck summons for the turn, contradicting the Synchro engine's core resource spending
• If the opening hand contains Mulcharmy Fuwalos without a way to clear the board (no Normal Summon or Spell removal), the draw effect cannot trigger
• Destruction Sword splice (Buster Whelp, Buster Blader, Destruction Sword traps) adds garnets; Buster Blader tributes without clear synergy to Synchro lines and competes for GY slots
• Loss of all three Tuner starters (Sage, Maiden, Buster Whelp) to disruption or discard leaves only Effect Veiler and Ash Blossom, both hand traps; no recovery path
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a Normal Monster payoff with no on-summon effect; searchable via multiple cards but not inherently a combo extender

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Legal (TCG format, 46 main / 15 extra / 0 side, no violations); Restricted cards: Solemn Judgment (Limited, 1 copy legal), Triple Tactics Talent (Limited, 1 copy legal); Extra Deck composition: 7 Synchro, 3 Fusion, 4 Link, 1 Xyz (15 total); Main Deck composition: 46 cards; 12 at 3-copy, 10 at 1-copy; Card text role hints: Sage with Eyes of Blue (searcher + special summon), Forbidden Droplet (negation), Infinite Impermanence (hand trap), Effect Veiler (hand trap)
• Observed: Archetype usage statistics: 40% core presence (10 of 25 standard core cards present); missing Ultimate Fusion, Indigo-Eyes Silver Dragon, Called by the Grave, Crossout Designator (all 100% inclusion); Hand-trap opening coverage going-second: 75.2% (9 copies, hypergeometric, hand 6)
• Inferred: Engine accessibility: P(≥1 starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.696 from core-group hypergeometric; core-group density 22/46 = 47.8%; Opening-hand brick estimate: ~3.1% (derived from core-group P(none in hand 5)); Going-first board ceiling: Level-12 Synchro (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon) with negation + GY-lock + optional Forbidden Droplet; estimated power index ≈ 75 (Inferred); Going-first board median: Level-9 Synchro (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon) with single negate; estimated power index ≈ 55 (Inferred); Going-second resilience: Limited to hand-trap disruption (75.2% opening) + reactive removal (Forbidden Droplet, Primite Drillbeam); no consistent OTK or board wipe; estimated going-second win rate < 40% (Inferred); Combo step complexity: Normal Summon Tuner → search (Sage/Buster Whelp) → extend (Primite/Mulcharmy if conditions met) → Synchro summon into boss; 4–6 decision points (Inferred); Primite Lordly Lode interaction tension: Field spell locks Extra Deck summons post-activation, preventing same-turn Synchro output; creates line collision (Inferred); Mulcharmy Fuwalos activation condition: Requires board-empty state; in opening combo rarely met; conditional utility on opponent's turn (Inferred); Destruction Sword redundancy: Buster Whelp and Buster Blader both search / summon within same sub-engine; garnets risk without clear payoff to primary Synchro axis (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta Power: No dated metagame sample or archetype meta-share provided; Blue-Eyes archetype position in current TCG format unknown; score set to null (Provisional); Tournament reliability: No per-pilot match record or tournament link; long-form consistency under best-of-3 stress estimated from main-deck brick rate only (Provisional)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling derived from card text and role hints only; no empirical power-index distribution (critical gap) No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match records absent; Meta Power cannot be calibrated No win-rate telemetry: YGOVN lacks going-first/second win rates, brick / starter / OTK frequency, or matchup breakdowns; all consistency / performance signals are Inferred No Side Deck: zero slots present; post-side adaptation cannot be evaluated Guide evidence absent: no human strategy snippets to cross-check engine intent or priority sequencing No dated metagame sample: cannot assess format fit or common-interaction resilience relative to live meta
