Snake-Eye Deck #762953 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 67/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 7-8 and Link boss monsters: Flamberge Dragon (3000 ATK), Diabellstar (2500 ATK), Promethean Princess (2700), Amblowhale (2600, +200 per Link in GYs), Underworld Goddess (3000).; Interaction-driven control of the opponent's board through Forbidden Droplet, Droll & Lock Bird, Sinful Spoils and Underworld Goddess negation, then Link pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 1 FIRE Snake-Eye starter (Poplar, Ash, Oak or Birch), search or Special Summon a second FIRE piece, then link into a FIRE Link boss (Promethean Princess or Knightmare Phoenix).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet) to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then quick-effect Special Summons (Birch, Flamberge) and Masquerena's quick Link Summon on the opponent's turn.
• Recovery: Recover through GY effects (Ash, Oak, Poplar, Original Sinful Spoils banishing from GY to add a Level 1 FIRE), WANTED's draw and recycle effect, and Mulcharmy Fuwalos draws.
• After siding: None: the export has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be assessed.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan because seven Level 1 FIRE starters and ten searcher-text copies give roughly a 76% chance of at least one starter in the opening five cards (hypergeometric, Inferred). Its engine keeps lines alive after disruption through several independent self-Special Summon responses and graveyard recursion, and its three hand traps plus six negation-text cards give it real interaction on both turns. It converts into pressure through several 2500-3000 ATK bosses (verified stats) and a Link Extra Deck, but no recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are scored conservatively. Popularity and the guide's claim that Snake-Eye is Tier 1 earned no points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 67.3, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 64.6. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); engine compactness (2); mixed sub-archetype engine (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Midrange profile; modifiers net 0

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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

• Ten searcher-text copies (P≥1 in opening 5 ≈ 0.89) keep the engine reachable
• Three hand traps and six negation-text cards cover both turns
• Boss ATKs of 2500-3000 across Main and Extra give closing power
• Graveyard recursion and draw effects support the grind
• Extra Deck uses all nine slots with mixed Link requirements

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan
• Exact-name purity is 28.2%, so the engine is split across sub-archetypes
• Seven Level 1 FIRE starters form a single bottleneck for the engine
• Heavy pilot burden from quick effects and once-per-turn choices

Critical choke points

• Level 1 FIRE starter density (7 copies in Main)
• Single-copy Divine Temple of the Snake-Eye and Original Sinful Spoils
• Single-copy Lyrilusc (Limited) in the Extra Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Duel Links ban field, Lyrilusc Limited at 1/1, sizes within limits; Card text, types, levels and ATK/DEF from the resolved card data; Hypergeometric draw odds for copy counts; Usage statistics: Snake-Eye Oak and Birch typically run 2 copies
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and searcher reliability; Interaction density from card text flags; Combo ceiling (D3) from text only; Pilotability and grind estimates
• Provisional: Meta and format fit: no dated metagame sample, guide Tier 1 claim unverified; Side-deck adaptability: no side deck present
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Usage-statistics in_this_deck flags miss Extra Deck cards: Knightmare Phoenix, Masquerena, Underworld Goddess, Lyrilusc, Amblowhale, Promethean Princess, Zealantis and S:P Little Knight are in the Extra Deck but reported as missing, so the 56.5% core-present figure understates the list (≈91% adjusted) Deck title is null Guide snippet (18/9/2026) asserts Tier 1 status; unverified Side Deck empty; post-side performance unknown
