Blue-Eyes Deck #756958 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Combo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon beatdown, assembled from Blue-Eyes and Dragon searches (Inferred from card text); Stardust Sifr and Lightstorm Dragon as backup boss monsters (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue or Maiden of White, search Blue-Eyes material, and start a Synchro line while holding Ash Blossom and Droll as protection (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Droll) to answer the opponent's first board, then extend into a Synchro boss (Inferred)
• Recovery: Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon and Blue-Eyes White Dragon recursion from the Graveyard, plus Mausoleum of White and True Light for extra Normal Summons (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is present, so there is no post-side plan. The deck cannot adjust between games (Verified: side count 0)

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: it runs four Forbidden cards, over-limits Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Droll & Lock Bird, and has no Side Deck. Under the rubric it cannot receive a normal Final Contextual score, so the 30 is a capped, theoretical-only read rather than a legal-list rating. The structural read is about 52: the deck reliably opens a Blue-Eyes or Synchro starter (archetype core group about 94 percent in the opening five, Inferred), and it carries a dense layer of hand traps and negations that gives it real interaction (D7 about 66, Inferred from card text). Its weaknesses are a low single-copy Blue-Eyes White Dragon density, no post-side plan, and no combo or tournament evidence. The score does not come from Blue-Eyes being a popular archetype, and it is not an average of the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Control secondary (structural weights from Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Structural 52 -> 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 = 50.6; banlist exposure modifier -12 -> 39; Illegal cap applied -> 30 (theoretical/structural-only, not a legal-list score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · 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 hand-trap and negation coverage (about 13 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards)
• Strong closers in the Extra Deck (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit, Tyrant Dragon, Stardust Sifr)
• Archetype core is almost always present in the opening five

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four Forbidden cards and two over-limit cards
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Only 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the central starter, lowers starter density
• Heavy tech and hand-trap count lowers compactness

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon count (2 copies) gates the Blue-Eyes engine
• Tuner density in the hand (Sage, Maiden, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler) gates Synchro summons

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 (within TCG size rules except side is empty); Six copy-limit violations and four Forbidden cards; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype core group P(at least 1 in opening 5) about 0.94
• Inferred: Midrange primary strategy and Control secondary from interaction density; Starter reliability and brick estimates from hypergeometric odds; Interaction quality (D7) from negation and hand-trap text; Going-first and going-second plans
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: Illegal list (copy limits and Forbidden cards) means only a structural score is possible No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
