Red-Eyes Deck #771199 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Red-Eyes Fullmetal, Darkness Metal and Meteor Black Comet Dragon boards, closed with Metalmorph-enabled 2800-3500 ATK beaters; Flare Metal and Voloferniges Xyz/Link pressure after hand-trap and removal disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Black Metal Dragon or Red-Eyes Soul starter, search Red-Eyes via Black Metal Dragon or Black Meteor, and reach a Metalmorph Trap summon; hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Effect Veiler for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash, D.D. Crow, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Eradicator) to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through Red-Eyes recursion and Metalmorph Set-and-summon lines
• Recovery: Recover through Black Meteor and The Black Stone of Legend from the GY, Red-Eyes Soul recursion and the 13-card hand-trap suite
• After siding: Not defined: side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This list is structurally a Red-Eyes spine with a Metalmorph-trap engine, a 13-card hand-trap and tech suite, and a 16-card Extra Deck; it is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Starter access is moderate: three Black Metal Dragons and two Red-Eyes Souls give about a 25 percent chance of a Black Metal Dragon in the opening five (Inferred), and the searcher group reaches about 78 percent, so the deck usually finds a starter but not reliably a complete line. Interaction is the strongest feature, with 13 hand traps and 24 removal-text cards, and the going-second hand-trap group reaches about 81 percent (Inferred), which supports a reasonable going-second plan. Consistency is capped by 18 singleton slots, several Limited staples and a heavy conditional brick load, and the empty side deck leaves no post-side plan. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used: the core list shown in usage statistics is absent, and no combo boards were recorded, so the floor and median are text-only inferences. The score is capped low because the Extra Deck exceeds the OCG limit by one card, which makes the list illegal and the result theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-3); No side deck (-3); Engine conflicts (-3); Illegal Extra Deck cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*54 + 0.20*42 = 51.6; modifiers total -9 gives 42.6; Illegal deck (Extra 16 > 15) capped to 35 as 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

• 13 hand traps and 24 removal-text cards give layered interaction across both turns
• Strong closing stats in Fullmetal, Meteor Black Comet, Metalzoa and Flare Metal
• Multiple Red-Eyes recursion routes from the GY (Black Meteor, Black Stone of Legend, Red-Eyes Soul)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Extra Deck holds 16 cards against an OCG maximum of 15
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• 18 singleton slots and a large off-archetype share make the main deck inconsistent
• Heavy banlist exposure: 9 Limited cards plus Ash Blossom at Semi-Limited

Critical choke points

• A single Black Metal Dragon or Red-Eyes Soul starter in the opening hand (P about 0.25 at 3 copies)
• Metalmorph summon chain requiring a Metalmorph Trap set first
• Hand-trap timing: Ash, Ghost Belle and Effect Veiler all need to be in hand when the opponent activates

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 and Extra 16 counted from the export; Extra 16 > 15 OCG cap; Banlist: 9 Limited, Ash Blossom Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Card stats for Fullmetal (3400), Meteor Black Comet (3500), Metalzoa (3000), Flare Metal (2800); Side count 0; archetype purity 23.6 percent exact-name
• Inferred: Black Metal Dragon P(at least one in 5) = 0.25; searcher group 0.78 at 5 cards; Hand-trap group 0.81 at 6 cards going second; Interaction breadth and disruption resilience from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates from text and probability
• Provisional: Meta Power: no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format fit (D13) at neutral value; Median and floor (D4) without recorded boards
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent 1 passcode in CardIDList (74677422, 2 copies) could not be resolved and is counted as main no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics core cards (S:P Little Knight, Droll & Lock Bird, I:P Masquerena) are absent from this list, so no core-purity read is possible Deck title is null
