Blue-Eyes Deck #773535 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox, Synchro/Fusion/Link
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon) and Synchro/Link pressure from the Extra Deck; Blue-Eyes White Dragon recursion via Sage with Eyes of Blue, Maiden of White, Primite Lordly Lode and Wishes for Eyes of Blue, with Roar and Majesty as burst or removal
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue or Primite Dragon Ether Beryl for a searcher line, then build a Synchro or Link from the Extra Deck; keep Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Effect Veiler up for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand-trap-heavy six-card hand (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's first board, then convert the remaining resources into a Blue-Eyes boss or Synchro
• Recovery: Use the Sage and Maiden searcher chain plus Wishes for Eyes of Blue to rebuild Blue-Eyes White Dragon after a clean interruption; Mausoleum of White supplies an extra Normal Summon
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the best-of-3 adjustment is unavailable (no side cards to swap in)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher line: the probability that at least one searcher-text card is in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.89, and the Sage, Maiden and Wishes package supplies redundant access to Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Inferred). Its conversion is carried by the Extra Deck, which holds several boss Synchro, Link and Fusion options, so the ceiling is high, but no recorded boards exist, so the median output is scored on text only and kept lower. Interaction is layered: 13 hand-trap-text cards plus Majesty, True Light and Roar give it resilience and going-second strength. The score is held back by the absence of a side deck, the low Blue-Eyes White Dragon count (2 copies, hand probability about 0.23 going first) and the lack of any meta or tournament data; popularity in the archetype's usage statistics confirmed the list is real and accessible but did not add points, and the card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 65.3, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); (0.80*65.3 + 0.20*60) = 64.3, then modifiers -3 = 61

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

• Redundant searcher package (Sage, Maiden, Wishes, Beryl, Lode) reaches the engine reliably
• Dense hand-trap and negation text gives strong going-second interaction
• Full Extra Deck with several boss-level Synchro, Link and Fusion options

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon count is only 2, so the engine's core card is often absent from the opening hand
• Low archetype purity (19.6% exact-name), so the deck relies on Primite and other splash packages
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-based only

Critical choke points

• Opening hand without any searcher-text card (about 11% going first) leaves the deck with only hand traps
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon one-card dependence for the Blue-Eyes boss routes
• Two single-copy Limited cards (Maxx C, Bystial Magnamhut) are both needed for their lines
