Blue-Eyes Deck #773014 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 49/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Fusion Blue-Eyes boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon) backed by generic Synchros (Lightstorm, Crimson, Cosmic Blazar); Blue-Eyes White Dragon (2 copies) plus Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon attacking through a hand-trap-protected board
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage or Maiden, search or Tuner-link into Spirit with Eyes of Blue or a Synchro; hold Ash / Ghost Ogre / Ghost Belle / Impermanence for the opponent's first combo activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Open a hand trap (P(>=1 hand trap in 6) = 0.93) and negate the opponent's first starter, then rebuild the board with the Tuner plus Non-Tuner Synchro line
• Recovery: Recover Tuners from the GY through Maiden of White and Sea Horse effects, and reuse Wishes for Eyes of Blue (banish from GY) to re-search Tuner and Spell/Trap
• After siding: No sideboard is present in the export (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Tuner: P(>=1 Tuner in a 5-card opener) is about 0.80 from the 15-Tuner count, and the searcher group reaches P(>=1) = 0.78 (Inferred). Its real limit is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon count: only 2 copies, so P(>=1 in opener) is 0.17 going first and 0.20 going second, and several Blue-Eyes cards need one (Majesty, Roar, Sea Horse, Jet, the Blue-Eyes Synchros), which holds the engine back. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: 19 hand traps make a hand-trap hit very likely going second (0.93), and Dragon's Mind, Dark Ruler, Forbidden Crown and Majesty add board control. Closing power is high once a boss lands, but the 3 non-Tuner Blue-Eyes monsters in the main deck gate 4 of the 10 Synchros and make Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon hard to reach. Popularity did not earn points: Blue-Eyes usage stats confirm the list is real, not strong, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.7, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); single_engine_choke_point (-3); extra_deck_gating (-2); weak_post_side_plan (-2); engine conflict (-1); hand_trap_redundancy (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Hand-trap density: 19 hand traps and P(>=1 in 6 going second) = 0.93
• Strong Tuner engine: Sage, Maiden and Wishes give P(>=1 searcher in 5) = 0.78
• Deep boss pool at Extra level: BE Ultimate, Tyrant and Neo Ultimate reach 3400-4500 ATK
• Legal list with restricted cards within legal copies

Weaknesses

• Only 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon in a Blue-Eyes deck; the usage-typical count is 3
• 4 BE Synchros and Azure-Eyes depend on a small pool of non-Tuner Blue-Eyes and Normal monsters
• 27 distinct main-deck cards with 18.3% exact-name purity dilutes the engine
• No sideboard in the export, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Primite Lordly Lode's effect lock conflicts with the Extra-Deck monster effects

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon: 2 copies gate Majesty, Roar, Sea Horse, Jet and BE Synchros
• Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons: single copy is the only recovery route to BEWD from GY or banish
• Tuner availability for Synchro (15 Tuners) before the non-Tuner is in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within size rules [40-60], [0-15], [0-15]; Restricted copies: Bystial 1, Droll 1, Duster 1 (Limited); Ash 2 (Semi-Limited), all within legal copies; Copy histogram 9 / 7 / 11 matches the cards list; Main-deck hand-trap count 19 and Tuner count 15 match the cards list
• Observed: Usage stats show Blue-Eyes-core inclusion; 21 of 23 core cards appear in the card list (the evidence's 13/23 count is an error)
• Inferred: P(>=1 Tuner in 5) about 0.80; BEWD engine-gate reading; Hand-trap going-second redundancy 0.93 from the probability table; Interaction quality (D7) from negate-text cards; Pilotability and matchup-free structural read
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability (no per-pilot record)
• 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 rates) usage statistics.in this deck / core_cards_present flags Extra-Deck cards as absent although cards[] lists them (Spirit with Eyes x2, BE Spirit Dragon x2, BE Ultimate x2, Tyrant x1, Hieratic x1, Crimson x1, Neo Ultimate x1, Lightstorm x1); core_present 13/23 is unreliable, recount gives 21/23 No sideboard in the export (Side Deck size 0); if the real list has a side, D12 and the context modifier must be re-scored Deck title is null; deck identity comes from the archetype and list only Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
