Blue-Eyes Deck #766402 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes boss monsters from the Extra Deck: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon; Spirit with Eyes of Blue and Stardust/Lightstorm/Baronne as extra-deck pressure or interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Sage with Eyes of Blue, Maiden of White, Wishes for Eyes of Blue, Primite Dragon Ether Beryl) to reach Blue-Eyes White Dragon and a Synchro or Fusion boss; the 2-copy BEWD is the main bottleneck
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 13 hand-trap and negation cards (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Ghost Mourner, Dominus Purge) to blank the opponent's first play, then convert with Blue-Eyes Extra Deck monsters
• Recovery: Maiden of White recurs from the GY when BEWD is Special Summoned; searchers (Wishes, Lordly Lode, Bingo Machine, Mausoleum of White) refill the hand from the Deck; Ghost Mourner and Ghost Ogre give hand-based interaction after the board is cleared
• After siding: Not scored: the export records 0 side cards, so no post-side plan is evidenced

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter: its searcher density (13 cards, about 0.86 chance of at least one in a going-first 5-card hand) and the 3-copy Sage, Maiden, and Wishes package give it a real first-turn plan, though the 2-copy Blue-Eyes White Dragon remains the main bottleneck (about 0.23 to draw it in 5 cards). Interaction is the strongest part of the system: 13 hand traps and several negation effects give high going-second coverage, and the Extra Deck supplies large Blue-Eyes bosses that can attack through or pressure a board. Its combo output cannot be measured because no recorded boards were parsed, so ceiling and median are text-based inferences and stay moderate. Exact-name archetype purity is only 24.6%, with Primite, Eyes of Blue, and Dominus cards mixed in, which costs some engine coherence. The score comes from consistency, interaction, and closing power on the system as a whole. It does not come from Blue-Eyes being a popular archetype or from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 62.3, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-1); unrecoverable_choke_point (-2); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-5) = 0.80*62.3 + 0.20*58 - 5 = 56.4

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (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 a live starter in the opening hand
• 13 hand traps and about 14 negation-text cards give strong going-second interaction
• Extra Deck holds large Blue-Eyes bosses with attack and negation text
• Legal in Master Duel with copy counts at limit

Weaknesses

• Exact-name archetype purity is only 24.6%, with several sub-archetype bundles
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon is 2 copies and is the key bottleneck
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified
• Crimson Dragon (87.5% core inclusion) is absent

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (2 copies) for most boss lines
• Extra Deck is full at 15, so any change has to be a swap

• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Post-side plan (no side cards in export)
• 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 and matchup results unknown Meta Power is Provisional; no dated metagame sample
