Blue-Eyes Deck #765436 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon x3, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon and Cosmic Blazar Dragon boards, once a Tuner plus non-Tuner Blue-Eyes material is on the field; Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon via Fusion Summon from Primite Fusion or Polymerization-style lines, and Secreterion Dragon as an alternate Fusion
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue or Primite Dragon Ether Beryl, search a Tuner or Primite card, and hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Effect Veiler for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx C) to break the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a board through Maiden of White and Wishes for Eyes of Blue
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy Fuwalos draws, Primite Lordly Lode and Wishes searches, and Synchro Rumble or Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons to revive a Tuner or Blue-Eyes monster from the GY or Deck
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered in this list, so no post-side plan is evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional first turn through redundancy in its searchers and starters: 16 searcher-text cards give P(at least one in an opening 5) of about 0.87, and Sage, Maiden of White, Primite Lordly Lode and Ether Beryl each provide an independent route. Its conversion ceiling is high (Blue-Eyes Spirit x3, Ultimate Spirit, Tyrant and Blazar boards), but it is gated by a single Blue-Eyes White Dragon: P(that card in an opening 5) is 0.10 and in a 6-card going-second hand 0.12, so the Blue-Eyes synchro and fusion lines are unreliable. Interaction is the deck's strongest system, with 13 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards that give it real answers to the opponent's first engine. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction read on the whole system, not from Blue-Eyes being a popular archetype, and not from averaging individual card scores. Meta Power is withheld (no dated sample), and the absence of a Side Deck and of recorded boards keeps confidence at Medium.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (base); D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalised to 95 for the meta-neutral Structural score. Structural ≈ 59.8, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 51. Modifiers: Unrecoverable choke point (-4); Engine conflicts (-3); Broad negation suite (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (no dated meta sample; Meta provisional): 0.80*59.8 + 0.20*50.6 - 5 = 52.96, rounded to 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.08 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.13 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Legal in Master Duel: 50 Main within 40-60, 15 Extra at the cap, all 5 Limited/Semi-Limited cards within legal copies
• Searcher redundancy: 16 searcher-text cards, P(>=1 in opening 5) about 0.87
• Interaction density: 13 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards, with Droll and Effect Veiler at 2 copies each
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with synchro, fusion and link coverage across several routes
• Several independent starters (Sage, Maiden, Lode, Ether Beryl, Mulcharmy) so one dead card does not end the turn

Weaknesses

• Single Blue-Eyes White Dragon gates the Blue-Eyes synchro and fusion lines (P in opening 5 = 0.10)
• 17 one-of cards and 3 Dominus Purge copies with few Dominus payoffs in the list
• Four or more archetype axes (Blue-Eyes, Primite, PSY-Frame, Dominus) reduce engine coherence (exact-name purity 16.9%)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan is available
• No recorded boards, tournament link or win-rate telemetry, so the ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon: the only non-Tuner Blue-Eyes in the Main Deck, required for Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Ultimate Spirit material
• Tuner availability: 17 Tuners in the Main are needed to pair with the non-Tuner Blue-Eyes
• Limited cards (Maxx C, Crossout Designator, Bystial Magnamhut, PSY-Framegear Gamma), each one copy, lose a single answer when drawn dead

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, Limited/Semi-Limited copy counts and size rules; Copy histogram (9 triples, 3 pairs, 17 singles) and Extra breakdown (10 Synchro, 3 Fusion, 2 Link); Card text for Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Spirit Dragon, Ultimate Spirit and Primite cards; Hypergeometric draw table (P=0.276 for 3 copies in 5 cards, 0.10 for 1 copy); Usage stats: 14 of 25 archetype-core cards present (56%)
• Observed: Usage stats show the Blue-Eyes core (Spirit, Tyrant, Ultimate Spirit) is common in other lists but missing here
• Inferred: Starter and brick odds, key-two-card combo estimate (0.08 going first, about 0.11 going second); Interaction density read from role flags and negation text; Consistency and engine-conflict scores for D1, D2, D4 and D7; Ceiling read from synchro and fusion card text, gated by the single BEWD
• Provisional: Meta Power (null), D13 matchup fit and any dated-meta claim; D12 post-side adaptability, since no Side Deck is present
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second split, matchup, game-level, brick and starter rates), so those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck in the list; Master Duel single-game play is assumed, not verified in the evidence Deck title is null; archetype and card data resolved from the deck list only
