Galaxy-Eyes Deck #770617 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• 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: Xyz Summon Galaxy-Eyes / Photon Dragon-family monsters (3000+ ATK) from the 15-card Xyz Extra Deck and convert the board; Hand-trap-protected Xyz chains that keep one 3000-ATK threat alive through the opponent's interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 4 or Level 8 starter (Galaxy Expedition, Galaxy Defense Robot Orbital 7, Photon Delta Wing) and build an Xyz; hold hand traps for the opponent's first answer. Probability of a starter in 5 cards is low (about 0.32 for the Galaxy-Eyes core group), so this plan is inconsistent.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to play hand traps (about 0.86 chance of at least one) against the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild with Mulcharmy draw effects. This is the deck's most reliable plan.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy monsters and Galaxy Hundred help refill cards; Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle recover tempo by negating and returning to the GY for later Special Summons.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system and not as an average of its card scores. Its main strength is interaction: about 15 hand traps and Quick-Play negation text give it a high chance (about 0.86) of having at least one interaction card in a six-card going-second hand. Its weakness is consistency: the Galaxy-Eyes core has only about a 0.32 chance of being in an opening five, and roughly 15 hand traps plus 9 Mulcharmy monsters are often dead without an Xyz on board, so the brick risk is high. The Xyz finishers (3000+ ATK) give real closing power once established, but no combo recordings exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences only. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used to raise the score. The deck is Illegal (Seventh Tachyon run 3 of a 1-copy limit; Ash Blossom run 3 of a 2-copy limit), so this is a theoretical, structural-only result and not a normal contextual score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 80% Midrange / 20% Stun (hand-trap density is the disclosed secondary). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical/structural-only. Structural 47 (Midrange profile) → 0.80*47 + 0.20*35 ≈ 45, then banlist/copy-limit modifier −12 → 33. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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

• About 15 hand traps give high going-second interaction density (≈0.86 for at least one)
• Several 3000-ATK Xyz finishers with negation text
• Full Xyz Extra Deck (15) provides multiple boss options

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy limits on Seventh Tachyon and Ash Blossom
• Low probability of the core Galaxy-Eyes starter in the opening hand (≈0.32)
• Mulcharmy and hand-trap bricks without an Xyz on board
• Empty side deck gives no post-side adaptability
• Only 14.1% exact archetype purity, so the engine is split across sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• A single Galaxy-Eyes or Photon Xyz starter must be present to get a board; no backup route is confirmed
• Over-limit copies must be cut before the list can be played legally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (Seventh Tachyon 3/1, Ash Blossom 3/2); Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Card text and banlist status for the listed cards
• Inferred: Hypergeometric P(≥1 Galaxy-Eyes core in hand5) ≈ 0.32; Hand-trap P(≥1 in hand6) ≈ 0.86; Brick risk and interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Tournament reliability and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty (0 cards)
