Blue-Eyes Deck #756868 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Dragon boss pressure: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon and Cosmic Blazar Dragon, with Lightstorm Dragon and Ancient Fairy Life Dragon as supporting Synchro options (Inferred from card text).; Synchro and Fusion board stacking from Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes monsters, with Spirit with Eyes of Blue and Hieratic Seal providing Link-based extension (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue to search a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner, use Mausoleum of White for an extra Level 1 Normal Summon, and Synchro into a Blue-Eyes boss while holding hand traps (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C and Infinite Impermanence to answer the opponent's first search, summon or boss, then rebuild a Blue-Eyes board through Bingo Machine or Wishes (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recover through Sage and Maiden of White recycling from the GY, Ghost Belle and Mausoleum recursion, and Primite Lordly Lode for a Normal Monster line (Inferred).
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games (Verified from legality data).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter through its searchers: 13 searcher-text cards give P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.88, and Sage with Eyes of Blue alone is a three-copy Normal Summon searcher (Inferred). Blue-Eyes White Dragon is only in two copies, so P(at least one in hand) is about 0.24 going first, which caps the consistency of the main engine. Conversion ceiling comes from Extra Deck boss options (Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Blue-Eyes Tyrant, Cosmic Blazar, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit) with strong ATK values, but there are no recorded boards, so the median output is an unverified inference. Interaction is the deck's strongest system: 12 hand-trap-tagged cards plus negation and removal text cover the opponent's first turn and going-second boards, which earns the points for interaction and not for the Blue-Eyes name. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible but earned no points, and no card scores were averaged; the score comes from consistency, interaction density and Extra Deck coverage on the system, reduced by the absent Side Deck and the split between Blue-Eyes and Primite sub-engines.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo secondary, using the Midrange weight profile as-is. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Engine conflict between Blue-Eyes and Primite sub-engines (-2); No Side Deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*58 + 0.20*50 - 3 = 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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 a high chance of finding a starter in the opening hand
• Layered interaction from 12 hand-trap-tagged and 13 negation-text cards
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Fusion and Link with high-ATK closing bosses
• Legal in Master Duel with copy limits respected (Limited and Semi-Limited cards at legal counts)

Weaknesses

• Only 2 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the core Normal Monster for Fusion and Ritual-style routes
• High non-engine density (12 hand traps, 14 tech, 13 Tuner-typed cards) risks dead hands
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Off-archetype cards (Dominus Purge, Triple Tactics Talent) dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon count (2 copies) gates Neo Blue-Eyes, Blue-Eyes Tyrant and Blue-Eyes Spirit routes
• Sage with Eyes of Blue as the sole three-copy Normal Summon starter for the Level 1 Tuner chain

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel with 40 Main, 15 Extra and 0 Side cards; Copy limits respected for Maxx C (Limited 1), Bystial Magnamhut (Limited 1) and Droll and Lock Bird (Semi-Limited 2); Extra Deck breakdown: Synchro 9, Fusion 3, Link 3; Card text and ATK/DEF values from the evidence
• Observed: Two Vietnamese guide snippets exist for the Blue-Eyes archetype (no measured frequencies)
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density from role flags and negation text; Engine conflict and going-second plan; Structural score and dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta power (null) and matchup/format fit (D13); Going-first and going-second splits
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags are inconsistent with the cards list: Crimson Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Lightstorm Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Hieratic Seal, Golden Cloud Beast Malong and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon are listed as in_this_deck false even though they appear in the Extra Deck list, so core_present_pct 60 is unreliable Deck title is null, so the deck identity relies on the archetype and card list alone No Side Deck data, so D12 is evidence-free
