Galaxy-Eyes Deck #770616 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Galaxy-Eyes and Photon Xyz monsters (e.g. Number 107 / Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon / Number 62) attacking off Xyz material, with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Afterglow Dragon as Extra-Deck-free board presence; Mulcharmy draw-engine card advantage converted into Xyz boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Galaxy Expedition / Galaxy Defense Robot Orbital 7 searcher line toward a Level 8 Galaxy-Eyes Xyz; the 15 hand traps are dead on the first turn when the opponent has no monster activity
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild a Xyz board from the remaining hand
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects (Fuwalos, Purulia, Meowls) and Galaxy Summoner / Galaxy War Drake revive lines from the GY, all inferred from card text
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 side cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Xyz plan on the going-first 5-card hand only about 25% of the time for any single 3-copy starter (hypergeometric, Inferred), and the archetype core group (4 copies) appears in the opening hand about 32% of the time, so the engine is not reliably live on turns 1-2. Exact-name archetype purity is 14.1% (10 of 71 main copies), with 61 off-archetype copies spread across Mulcharmy, Photon, Forbidden, Seventh and Change, so the list is a Galaxy-Eyes-flavoured toolbox rather than a single coherent engine. Its interaction density is the strongest signal: 15 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards give roughly 86% odds of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand (Inferred), which earns the going-second and end-board dimensions. Floor and median output cannot be measured because the deck has no recorded boards and no guides, so combo scores rest on card text alone. The deck is Illegal (3 copies of Seventh Tachyon against a limit of 1, and 3 copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of 2), so the Final score is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only. No card scores were averaged into this result; the score reflects the system's consistency, interaction and the copy-limit violations.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: copy-limit violation (-8). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(42.75) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + modifiers(-8) = 33.2, capped at 30 because legality is Illegal (copy-limit violations); Meta provisional (null)

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

• Dense interaction: 15 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards
• Strong Xyz closers at 4000-4500 ATK in the Extra Deck
• Mulcharmy draw engine gives card advantage

Weaknesses

• Illegal as listed: copy limits exceeded for Seventh Tachyon and Ash Blossom
• Low archetype purity (14.1%); engine pieces scattered across 5 sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards or guides to validate combo conversion

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and the hand-trap block are the only going-second answers; over-limit copies make the list unplayable as built
• Xyz Extra Deck summons depend on Level 8 Galaxy-Eyes/Photon material being live on turn 2

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations for Seventh Tachyon (3 vs 1) and Ash Blossom (3 vs 2); Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes; Card text and banlist status for listed cards; Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Number 62 ATK values
• Observed: Archetype usage: Number 90 at 85.7% and Called by the Grave at 100% inclusion (usage statistics)
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric odds (0.25 for a 3-copy card at hand 5; 0.32 for the core group); Hand-trap presence in going-second hands (about 0.86); Interaction density and brick-rate judgements from text roles
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format-fit scoring (D13), no tournament data
• 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, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides for the archetype (guide data total 0) Deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0); post-side plan cannot be assessed
