Blue-Eyes Deck #742986 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 68/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: none
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes combo via Sage with Eyes of Blue, Ash Blossom, Mausoleum of White, and Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons to search/set up and swing for lethal; OTK/finish through Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon when assembled
• Turn 1 (going first): T1: play Sage with Eyes of Blue, Ash Blossom, and key traps; set/activate Mausoleum of White and other backrow to protect the board and enable searches; build toward Roar and combo via set pieces to threaten lethal by turn 3–4.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Ash Blossom and traps to deny first turn, answer early plays with Effect Veiler/Droll, then pivot into combo or control using backrow and search to stabilize.
• Recovery: Use hand traps and continuous searching (Sage, Ash Blossom, Triple Tactics Talent) to rebuild after disruption; Mausoleum and Roar provide alternate routes to value and board control.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Blue-Eyes combo plan by T1–T2 thanks to strong engine staples (Sage, Ash Blossom, Mausoleum, Roar), giving it a high ceiling (D3 85). However, brick risk on the draw and a single critical path (D2 55, D4 55) constrain consistency and median output. It is resilient to disruption through redundant hand-trap/interaction (D5 60) and offers solid end-board pressure (D7 75) and above-average closing power (D9 70). The build is efficient and compact (D10 65) with good Extra-Deck coverage (D11 70), but side options are weak (D12 40) and the deck remains matchup-dependent (D13 60) and moderately hard to pilot error-tolerantly (D14 50).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (Combo primary). Structural ≈ 68, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: archetype_popularity (0); brick rate (-7); key_card_single_point_of_failure (-5); side_deck_weakness (-5); format_meta_uncertainty (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

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

• Very strong ceiling with Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon or Roar-based OTK
• High archetype purity and efficient 40-card main
• Strong interaction suite (negation + removal)
• Multiple searchable pieces and hand traps for resilience

Weaknesses

• Significant brick risk on the draw (~35–40%)
• Single critical path can be disrupted
• Weak side deck plan (no data)
• Moderate pilot burden and error sensitivity

Critical choke points

• Failure to draw any of the 3–4 key combo pieces in opening hand
• Loss of backrow or disruption tools early
• Opponent fast disruption preventing combo assembly
