Blue-Eyes Deck #773037 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon (Ritual via Chaos Form) and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon / Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (Fusion) producing 3000-4500 ATK attackers, supported by Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon (Synchro) and Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon; Blue-Eyes White Dragon recursion through Sage with Eyes of Blue, Master with Eyes of Blue, Kaibaman the Legend and Dictator of D. (Inferred from text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue or Master with Eyes of Blue to search a Tuner or Blue-Eyes card, then reach Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3 copies, about 34 percent to start with it in a 5-card hand) and build a Synchro or Fusion board; Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons and Wishes for Eyes of Blue add a second route (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler or Droll and Lock Bird as hand traps (about 71 percent to hold at least one in a 6-card hand) to stop the opponent's starter, then transition into the Blue-Eyes engine; Majesty of the White Dragons and Dragon Spirit of White provide removal (Inferred)
• Recovery: Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon and Dictator of D. return Dragons to hand and Deck; Mulcharmy Purulia and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon rebuild board presence from the Graveyard (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

This OCG Blue-Eyes list is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its cards. Its 22 copies of the Blue-Eyes archetype core (about 99 percent to see at least one in a 5-card hand) and three copies each of Sage, Maiden of White, Effect Veiler and Blue-Eyes White Dragon give it a reliable opening, and it converts that opening into large Extra Deck attackers such as Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon. Seven hand traps and roughly 14 removal or negation effects provide layered interaction, and 15 Extra Deck options give flexibility. The score is held back by the absence of recorded boards (no combo floor or median can be measured), an empty side deck, and an over-limit Ash Blossom. Popularity of the archetype (high usage statistics) confirms the list is real and accessible, but it did not add points on its own. Because the deck is Illegal in OCG, the normal contextual formula is not applied: the uncapped figure is about 52, and the score is capped at 35 as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); empty_side_deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(60) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) - 7 modifiers = 52, capped to 35; theoretical/structural-only (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Archetype core is dense (22 copies), so the engine is almost always reachable in the opening hand
• Seven hand traps and about 14 removal or negation effects provide layered interaction
• Strong Extra Deck closing options (Chaos MAX, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Tyrant, Ultimate Spirit)
• Multiple searchers (10 copies) and recursion effects give redundant routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom is run at 3 copies over the OCG limit of 2
• Empty side deck gives no post-side adaptation
• Only 40 percent exact-name archetype purity, with many generic staples diluting the engine
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3 copies, about 34 percent to be in hand going first) is a central starter, though searchers reduce the dependence
• Chaos MAX depends on the single Chaos Form (1 copy) and Chaos or Black Luster Soldier ritual requirements
• Synchro and Fusion summons depend on specific Blue-Eyes materials being on board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 sizes are within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the copy limit (3 run, 2 allowed) in OCG; Archetype usage shows Blue-Eyes core cards as high-inclusion staples; Copy histogram and card text role hints are present for all 40 main and 15 extra cards
• Inferred: Engine reliability and consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Going-first and going-second plans from text and card roles; Interaction density and closing power from card text; Brick risk from singleton and conditional-card counts
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Median and floor output (no combos recorded)
• 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 no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is listed as Tuner Monster but its excerpt has no Tuner text; card type should be verified Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
