Blue-Eyes Deck #770516 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from the Extra Deck, backed by Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon; Synchro beaters (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Lightstorm Dragon, Cosmic Blazar Dragon) and Link pressure from Spirit with Eyes of Blue
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner searcher (Sage with Eyes of Blue, Maiden of White, Wishes for Eyes of Blue) and build a Blue-Eyes Synchro or Fusion line, keeping Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild a Blue-Eyes Extra Deck summon from the Graveyard or banish zones
• Recovery: Recover through Mausoleum of White and the Graveyard-based Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon revival, plus Maiden of White recursion once Blue-Eyes White Dragon is summoned
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's structural read is driven by how it runs its engine and interaction together, not by averaging card scores. Hypergeometric estimates put the archetype core at about 94% to have at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the searcher-text group at about 78%, so the Blue-Eyes engine usually becomes live on turn 1 or 2 (Inferred). Interaction density is high, with 21 negation-text, 20 removal-text and 17 hand-trap cards, which carries the going-second and end-board scores. Floor and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores rest on text-only inference, and the Main Deck's low exact-name purity (20%) and two-copy Blue-Eyes White Dragon line pull efficiency down. Popularity signals were not used: the core-card inclusion rates confirm the list is a real, accessible build but did not add points by themselves. The deck is Illegal because Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring is run at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the final score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only value of 35.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange + 0.2 Toolbox (Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary; structural only, illegal cap applied). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: illegal copy limit cap (-20); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal: no normal Final score. Structural 56.6 (Midrange profile) and Tournament Reliability 48 give 0.80*56.6 + 0.20*48 = 54.9, capped at 35 for the illegal copy limit. Theoretical / structural-only; Meta Power is null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense, layered interaction: 21 negation-text, 20 removal-text and 17 hand-trap cards
• Redundant Blue-Eyes searchers and Graveyard recursion give multiple paths to the core engine
• Strong Extra-Deck closers (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy limit on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 run, 2 legal)
• Low exact-name archetype purity (20%) with 56 off-archetype copies across several sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Heavy Extra-Deck and tribute requirements raise pilot error risk

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon is run at only 2 copies and is needed for most Blue-Eyes Extra Deck routes
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the copy limit and must be cut before the list can be played legally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within size rules; Side Deck is 0; Exact-name archetype purity is 20% (14 of 70 archetype-tagged copies); Archetype core group inclusion is 94% in opening hand (probability table)
• Observed: Usage statistics confirm the core Blue-Eyes cards (Maiden of White, Sage with Eyes of Blue, True Light) are run at standard inclusion
• Inferred: Engine consistency (about 0.78 searcher, 0.94 core) is a hypergeometric estimate, not a play-tested rate; Interaction and resilience scores come from card-text flags and are not measured; Going-first and going-second power are read from hand-trap and interaction density
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13) are Provisional with no dated metagame sample; Meta Power is null and Provisional
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling output are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated
