Red-Eyes Deck #770664 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters from the Red-Eyes and Metalmorph line (Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon 2800, Red-Eyes Black Metal/Metal Claws Dragon chain, Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed 3400), supported by Bystial and Dark Magician Extra Deck threats; Link and Xyz pressure (Black Luster Soldier, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon, Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack) and Fusion threats (Dark Magician of Destruction, Dark Paladin, Starving Venom)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Searcher text cards (Dark Time Wizard, Incoming Machine!, Black Metal Dragon, Metalflame Swordsman) to reach a Metalmorph or Red-Eyes boss; use Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, or Ghost Belle to protect the first Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with 13 hand traps (Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Artifact Lancea, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Ghost Mourner, Effect Veiler, PSY-Framegear Gamma) to negate the first opposing play, then rebuild through Dark Time Wizard and Metalmorph traps
• Recovery: Searcher density (19 searcher-text cards, P(>=1 in opening 5) ~0.87) and Graveyard recursion (The Black Stone of Legend, Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon, Dark Time Wizard) rebuild the board after a single hand-trap or removal exchange
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no side cards, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal OCG list: The Bystial Lubellion is run 2 copies against a limit of 1, so the evaluation is theoretical and structural only and the final score is capped at 30. The system's consistency is respectable on paper, because 19 searcher-text cards give roughly an 0.87 chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5, and 13 hand traps give redundant answers when the deck goes second. The deck's weakness is cohesion: only 13 of 59 Main Deck cards are exact Red-Eyes names (17.6% purity), spread across Bystial, Metalmorph, Magician, PSY-Frame, Rokket, Venom and Forbidden cards, which makes the main-deck engine diffuse and brick-prone. Popularity did not earn points, no usage core was present, and the score was computed from the deck as a system, not by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary disclosed; weights taken from the Midrange profile only. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist / copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: Theoretical only (Illegal list): 0.80*51 + 0.20*45 = 49.8, minus 12 legality modifier = 37.8, capped to 30 because the deck is illegal; Meta Power provisional/null

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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

• Strong searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) keeps the engine findable on most openings
• Thirteen hand traps and 15 negation-text cards give layered interaction when going second
• Multiple independent Extra Deck threats (Link, Fusion, Xyz) so no single boss is the only win condition

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on The Bystial Lubellion (2 vs limit 1)
• Low archetype purity (17.6% exact Red-Eyes names) spreads the engine across several archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptability across best-of-3 matches
• Heavy reliance on hand traps and Limited cards leaves the deck with low redundancy for a single lost exchange

Critical choke points

• The Metalmorph Trap and Max Metalmorph chain is a single-route boss enabler
• Banish-based Bystial cards (Druiswurm, Magnamhut) are Limited, so removing copies is a real cost

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 59 and Extra 15 are inside the OCG size limits (Main 40-60, Extra 0-15); The Bystial Lubellion is over the copy limit (2 run, 1 legal) and the deck status is Illegal; Side Deck contains 0 cards; Exact-name archetype purity is 17.6% (13 of 74 counted cards)
• Inferred: The searcher-text group gives P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.87 and supports D1; Hand-trap group gives P(>=1 in opening 6, going second) = 0.79 and supports D5 and D7; Brick risk is elevated by 13 hand traps and 18 tech slots
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample exists; D13 Matchup/Format Fit has no archetype share 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 are absent One passcode (74677422) in the deck could not be resolved to a card and was counted as Main No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Side Deck is empty, so post-side scoring is not possible Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
