Red-Eyes Deck #769086 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend-family monsters (Red Nova, Red Supernova, Hot Red Bane, Bystial Dis Pater) to swing at 3000 to 4000 ATK boards, supported by Resonator tuners and hand-trap interaction.; Red Dragon Archfiend-family battle pressure backed by Crimson Gaia and Branded Regained card advantage.
• Turn 1 (going first): Resonator Call or Soul Resonator to a Tuner, Synchro into a Dragon-family boss with Dragon's Mind or Red Zone backing; the pieces are present but no recorded boards confirm a sequence.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle and Ghost Mourner against the opponent's first summon or search, then Synchro through the gap for a 3000+ ATK board.
• Recovery: Banish-recursion via Bystial Magnamhut and Bystial Druiswurm, plus Red Nova and Crimson Call to rebuild from the GY (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a Midrange system, not from the average of its cards. Its searcher density (17 copies) and 2-3 copy Tuner lines give a fairly reliable path to a Synchro starter, although a 3-copy starter is only about 24% likely in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part: seven hand-trap copies, Solemn Judgment, Dragon's Mind and Red Zone let it answer a going-second opponent's first plays, and the Synchro bosses (Red Nova, Red Supernova, Hot Red Bane, Dis Pater) give a real 3000-4000 ATK closing threat. The main weaknesses are the 21 Tuner monsters crowding a 57-card list with 32 distinct cards, the complete absence of a side deck, and zero recorded boards, which leaves median output and matchup fit unverified. Popularity did not earn points, and the Ash Blossom over-limit makes the list Illegal, so the score is capped and labelled structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-13); Banlist exposure (-3); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Structural 56 and TR 48 give 0.80*56 + 0.20*48 = 54.4, then modifiers -6 gives 48.4. The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom 3 copies vs OCG limit 2), so the score is capped at 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only. Meta is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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 interaction: 7 hand-trap copies plus Solemn Judgment, Dragon's Mind, Red Zone and Kuibelt
• High-pressure Synchro bosses (3000 to 4000 ATK) with recursion from Red Nova and Bystial banish effects
• Strong searcher density (17 copies) for a consistent Synchro engine

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom at 3 copies exceeds the OCG limit of 2
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• 21 Tuners and 32 distinct main cards reduce compactness and raise dead-draw risk
• Several Limited single-copy cards in the engine

Critical choke points

• Tuner availability: most Synchro lines need a Tuner in hand or GY, and 21 Tuners do not guarantee one
• Single-copy Limited enablers (Bystial Magnamhut, Druiswurm, Lubellion) gate several lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom at 3 copies exceeds the OCG limit of 2 (Illegal); Card text and stats for all 32 main and 13 extra distinct cards; Hypergeometric draw probabilities
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws; Hand-trap and interaction strength from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13); Tournament reliability
• 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; going-first, going-second and matchup rates unknown No side deck; post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
