Blue-Eyes Deck #769992 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes White Dragon boards with Blue-Eyes Alternative, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon and Blue-Eyes Spirit / Ultimate Spirit Dragon, plus Blue-Eyes Tyrant and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon as Extra Deck closers; Synchro and Link pressure from Azure-Eyes, Ancient Fairy Life Dragon and Spirit with Eyes of Blue
• Turn 1 (going first): Sage or Maiden of White, then Wishes or Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons to reach a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then a Blue-Eyes Extra Deck summon (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler or Mystical Elf to disrupt the opponent, then rebuild through Mausoleum of White and Synchro/Fusion summons (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mausoleum of White, Primite Lordly Lode and Kaibaman the Legend recover Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the GY (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty, so no post-side plan exists in the list

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a Blue-Eyes starter only about a quarter of the time per copy: P(at least one Blue-Eyes White Dragon in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.25 for a 3-copy card, which keeps consistency modest even though the archetype core (25 cards) appears in about 96% of opening hands (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with nine hand traps and about 22 removal or negation texts giving a going-second hand a real chance to disrupt (Inferred from card text). Conversion and floor output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so combo scores rest on text reads only. The deck breaks the rules of its format: it runs 17 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card limit, 2 Droll and Lock Bird against a 1-copy limit, and 1 Called by the Grave, which is Forbidden in OCG, so the score is capped low and labeled structural only. Popularity (Blue-Eyes is a core archetype) did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); extra_deck_over_limit (-4); empty_side_deck (-3); illegal_cap (-7). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 49, plus context modifiers (-17) = 32, then capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Nine hand traps and about 22 removal or negation texts give broad interaction
• Blue-Eyes recursion through Mausoleum, Primite Lordly Lode and Kaibaman
• Strong Extra Deck top end: Blue-Eyes Tyrant, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: over Extra Deck size, over copy limit on Droll and Lock Bird, and a Forbidden card
• Low starter density: each Blue-Eyes White Dragon copy opens only about 25% of the time
• Empty side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Many single-copy tech cards dilute consistency

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the single gatekeeper for most Extra Deck lines
• Going-second hand depends on hand traps that are only 1-of or 2-of

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 and Extra 17 counts; Extra 17 exceeds the 15 limit; Droll and Lock Bird 2 copies against a Limited limit of 1; Called by the Grave Forbidden in OCG and run once; Side deck is empty; Usage stats: 13 of 22 core cards present
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter odds (Blue-Eyes White Dragon about 0.25 per 3 copies); Hand-trap and interaction quality from card text; Recursion and closing power from card text and stats; Going-first and going-second plans
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second or matchups Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null and the side deck is empty
