Red-Eyes Deck #771323 — 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 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed, Meteor Black Comet Dragon, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon, First of the Dragonlords, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) reached through Fusion, Xyz and Link summons after the deck's hand-trap and negate pieces have stripped the opponent's board.; Dark Time Wizard and Radiant Typhoon searcher lines feeding Tempest, Super Starslayer TY-PHON and Primite Dragon Nether Berzelius.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Dark Time Wizard, Primite Lordly Lode or Radiant Typhoon Eldam/Swen to search, then build toward a Fusion or Xyz boss. The opening hand is unreliable because the engine needs two or more specific pieces, and no combo recordings exist to confirm a line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Solemn Accusation, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird and Fisherman of Legend to interrupt the opponent, then stabilise and summon a boss. Hand-trap density is high, so this is the deck's better turn order.
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy draw effects, Foolish Graverobber, Radiant Typhoon searchers and Dark Time Wizard recursion from the GY. These are individually reasonable but depend on a Dark Time Wizard or Radiant Typhoon piece still being in hand.
• After siding: Not evaluable. The deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck's score is set by its structure, not by any single card. It runs a broad interaction suite (Ash Blossom, three Solemn Warnings, Solemn Judgment, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird) that gives it strong end-board interaction, and its Extra Deck has real boss coverage. Its engine is weak, though: exact Red-Eyes purity is 5.6% (4 of 71 main-plus-extra copies), and the main deck spreads across Dark Time Wizard, Primite, Radiant Typhoon, Mulcharmy, Solemn and Magician sub-archetypes, so starters compete for slots and bricks are likely. There are no recorded combos, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The list is Illegal: three cards exceed their OCG limits, which caps the score and makes this a theoretical, structural-only read. The score does not reflect archetype popularity or an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (disclosed; the Toolbox profile is not blended into the weights). Structural ≈ 44.4, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: illegal copy-limit violations (-12). Final formula: Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(44.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 42.5, then the illegal-list modifier (−12) gives 30.5, rounded to 30. Theoretical/structural-only; not a normal Final Contextual score. Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Layered interaction suite: Ash Blossom, Solemn Judgment, three Solemn Warnings, Solemn Accusation, Evenly Matched and Droll & Lock Bird
• Searcher density: P(≥1 searcher in 5) ≈ 0.89
• Extra Deck boss coverage across Fusion, Xyz and Link

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three cards over OCG limits
• Engine conflict: exact Red-Eyes purity 5.6% with multiple sub-archetypes competing for slots
• No Side Deck (0 cards)
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Dark Time Wizard or Radiant Typhoon searcher must be live to convert the Extra Deck bosses
• Limited/Semi-Limited single copies (Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, S:P Little Knight) are one-of, so losing them removes a key interaction piece

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations: Ash Blossom, Super Polymerization, Solemn Warning at 3 copies vs 2 legal; Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 vs the OCG size rules; Banlist statuses for Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Radiant Typhoon Chant, Bystial Magnamhut and S:P Little Knight (all single copies, legal); Composition and card text from the evidence excerpts
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (hypergeometric); Brick and consistency estimates; Interaction quality from card text; Going-second hand-trap coverage
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup/format fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and the per-pilot match record are absent One passcode (74677422) in the CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and is counted as Main No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck, so the post-side plan cannot be assessed
