Red-Eyes Deck #768004 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes extra-deck boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon) attacking after the opponent's board is cleared by negations and removal; Blue-Eyes White Dragon recursion through Sage / Wishes / Maiden of White chains into Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue or Effect Veiler for a Tuner, search via Wishes for Eyes of Blue or Primite Lordly Lode, and hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond to the opponent's first summon or Spell with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle, Maiden of White, Nibiru) and rebuild a Blue-Eyes or Red-Eyes Synchro/Fusion board
• Recovery: Recover from a single hand-trap-based disruption via Mausoleum of White, Spirit with Eyes of Blue and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon recursion from the GY, and Wishes for Eyes of Blue banish-based equip
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher line: P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.88 (Inferred), and the hand-trap group gives about 0.89 chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred). The core Blue-Eyes/Eyes-of-Blue starter group, however, is only about 0.27 likely in an opening 5 (Inferred), and the list has only 5 exact-name Red-Eyes copies (7.1% purity), so engine coherence is split across Blue-Eyes, Primite, Red-Eyes, Metalmorph and Synchro. Interaction is dense (around 15 hand traps plus negation text on roughly 12 cards), which is why the endboard and interaction dimension scores well, but the deck has no side deck and no recorded boards, so conversion and floor scores rest on text-only inference. The deck is illegal in OCG (3 copies of a Semi-Limited card, 18 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card limit), so the contextual score is capped at 25 and the result is theoretical/structural only. No popularity or meta-share credit was given, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-8); Engine conflict (-2); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 44.8; modifiers -12 gives 32.8; Illegal-deck cap applied, final 25 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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 package (about 15 hand traps) that protects the engine against first-activation interaction
• High searcher density (17 cards) gives an opening-hand search line with high probability
• Strong late-game bosses with negation or piercing text (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: 3 copies of a Semi-Limited card and an 18-card Extra Deck against a 15-card maximum
• Low exact-archetype purity (7.1%); the deck is a mix of Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Primite, Metalmorph and Synchro sub-engines
• No Side Deck, so there is no adaptability plan
• Core starter group only about 27% likely in an opening 5, which makes the engine unreliable on the first turn

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck over the 15-card limit; the deck cannot be played in OCG until it is cut
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies; a legal list allows only 2
• Engine starters (Sage, Wishes, Maiden of White) at 3 copies each in a 52-card main deck; a single hand-trap or Ash Blossom timing error can stop the chain

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck 18 vs 15 maximum; Main Deck 52 cards, 0 Side Deck cards; Card text for negation, searcher and hand-trap roles in the evidence pack
• Observed: Archetype purity 7.1% (5 of 70 cards with the exact name)
• Inferred: P(core starter in opening 5) = 0.27; P(searcher in opening 5) = 0.88; P(hand trap in 6-card going-second hand) = 0.89 (hypergeometric); Going-first and going-second power estimates; Interaction density and engine conflict reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck: D12 cannot be evaluated against real post-side data S:P Little Knight, I:P Masquerena usage core cards are absent from this list (usage stats only)
