Galaxy-Eyes Deck #773452 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Galaxy-Eyes Xyz boss (Photon Dragon line, Number 62 / Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon) attacking for 3000 to 4500 ATK after hand-trap-protected turns; Mulcharmy card-advantage grind (draw on opponent summons) feeding the Xyz engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Galaxy Expedition or Galaxy Defense Robot Orbital 7 with a Level 4 or Level 8 LIGHT starter, reach a Galaxy-Eyes Xyz, and hold Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle to protect the boss; the Mulcharmy line rarely works going first because it needs an empty field
• Turn 2 (going second): Pass with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to answer the first opposing summon, then rebuild through Galaxy Expedition and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Change Dragon
• Recovery: Galaxy Defense Robot and Galaxy Photon Dragon searches plus Mulcharmy draws refill the hand after a hand-trap exchange; recovery depends on Xyz material remaining on the field
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. It reliably opens a hand with at least one core Galaxy-Eyes or Photon starter in roughly 94 percent of opening hands (Inferred from the archetype-core hypergeometric estimate), but the Xyz line needs one of about 15 single-copy bosses, so conversion depends on the right boss arriving. Interaction is the strongest part of the list: 15 hand traps and several negation or removal effects protect the boss, and they are worth more going second than first. Mulcharmy's draw triggers conflict with the empty-field condition and with hand-trap-heavy hands, which lowers the score on bricks and error tolerance. Popularity and archetype share do not earn points here, since no tournament or win-rate data exists, and the list is illegal: three Seventh Tachyon copies exceed the Limited cap and three Ash Blossom copies exceed the Semi-Limited cap, so the final score is capped low and treated as structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. Pre-cap 0.80*Structural(44) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 42.2, then banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 30. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Dense hand-trap suite (15) that protects the Xyz boss through the opponent's first turns
• Galaxy-Eyes boss density with several 3000-4500 ATK Xyz finishers
• Strong going-second interaction profile
• Extra Deck fully used by 15 Xyz monsters with two Galaxy-Eyes engine backups

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on Seventh Tachyon (3 vs 1) and Ash Blossom (3 vs 2)
• Mulcharmy draw effects require an empty field, which conflicts with the hand-trap and boss plan
• Low archetype purity (14.1 percent exact-name); many off-theme slots
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Most Xyz bosses are single-copy, so the boss line is fragile to one missed starter

Critical choke points

• Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Photon Change Dragon and Afterglow Dragon as the sole Xyz-boss routes
• Galaxy Expedition and Galaxy Defense Robot as the only T1 searchers into a boss
• Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle as the two main hand-trap protections for the boss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 counts (within TCG size rules); Seventh Tachyon at 3 copies vs Limited cap 1; Ash Blossom at 3 vs Semi-Limited cap 2; Card stats and text for all 27 Main and 15 Extra distinct cards
• Observed: Archetype core usage: 10 of 25 core cards present; core-group open probability 0.9379
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.94 for the core group; Brick risk from Mulcharmy empty-field conditions and hand-trap-heavy hands; Interaction density from negation and removal text; Going-second advantage from hand-trap density
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability (no win-rate telemetry)
• 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) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null in the export No side deck present, so D12 has no post-side evidence
