Blue-Eyes Deck #773331 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Fusion/Synchro beaters (Albion, Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Mirrorjade) once the Blue-Eyes White Dragon engine is live; Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon and Indigo-Eyes-style Xyz pressure, only if extra-deck materials line up
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue or Maiden of White for a Tuner, use Wishes or Primite Lordly Lode to find Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then Roar or Mausoleum to reach the Blue-Eyes Extra Deck engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Maiden of White and Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon
• Recovery: Recover from GY through Maiden of White, Sage with Eyes of Blue and Mausoleum of White; Blue-Eyes White Dragon in GY enables Jet Dragon effects
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous are run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a maximum of 15. Under the rubric it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score, so the 25 reported here is a cap, not a result. The structural read, computed from the dimension scores with the Midrange profile, is about 52: the Blue-Eyes engine is reasonably accessible through Sage, Maiden and Wishes, and the 11 hand traps give strong interaction on the opponent's turn. The engine is split across several sub-archetypes (Blue-Eyes, Primite, Branded, Dominus, Dogmatika, Albaz, Polymerization) with only 12 of 45 Main Deck cards exact-named Blue-Eyes, so consistency and coherence are weaker than the individual cards suggest. Popularity did not earn points; the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and closing power, not from averaging card scores. No combos, guides, tournament data or side deck were supplied, so every consistency claim here is Inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 - 10 modifiers = ~41, capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · 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

• Eleven hand traps and multiple negations give strong on-turn interaction
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon engine has several recovery routes through Maiden of White and Sage
• Extra Deck has high-ATK beaters in the Fusion and Synchro lines

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two cards over the Semi-Limited copy limit and Extra Deck over 15
• Engine split across several sub-archetypes reduces coherence
• No side deck, so no adaptation after game one
• No combo evidence, so ceiling and floor are text-only

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (only 2 copies) gates most engine lines
• Extra Deck size must drop by at least two cards before the list is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 45 cards, Extra Deck 17 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous run 3 copies against a legal maximum of 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck size exceeds OCG maximum of 15; Card text for listed cards from the evidence excerpts
• Observed: Usage: Blue-Eyes core cards (Mausoleum of White, Sage, True Light) appear in 70-92% of recorded lists
• Inferred: Starter hit probability around 0.30 for a 3-copy card in 5-card opening; Hand-trap coverage around 0.83 in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction density strength from text reads
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit, no dated metagame sample
• 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 no win-rate telemetry - going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck supplied
