Blue-Eyes Deck #773580 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Combo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Fusion boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Lightstorm Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon) backed by Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes support; Primite and Dominus interaction plus Synchro Summons from the Extra Deck to convert boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Tuner (Sage with Eyes of Blue or Maiden of White), search Blue-Eyes/Primite support, and set up a Synchro or Fusion boss while holding Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird or Infinite Impermanence to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild with a Synchro boss
• Recovery: Recover through graveyard effects (Maiden of White, Ghost Belle, Sage with Eyes of Blue), Mausoleum of White for an extra Normal Summon, and Primite Fusion or Wishes for Eyes of Blue to re-search
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck is fixed for every game

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional engine reliably: the 29 Blue-Eyes-family main-deck cards give a near-certain archetype presence in hand, and the 14 searcher-text cards plus three copies each of Sage, Maiden and Ash Blossom make a T1 Tuner Normal Summon likely (P(at least one Ash Blossom in a 5-card opening) ≈ 0.34, Inferred). Interaction is the deck's strongest system feature: 12 hand traps and 15 negate or removal effects let it answer the opponent's first activation and board-break on the going-second turn. The Extra Deck (9 Synchro, 3 Link, 3 Fusion) supplies a wide set of boss monsters with high ATK, which earns the closing-power score. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but they added no points; card scores were not averaged. The score is held back by the lack of combo data, the 21.8% exact-name Blue-Eyes purity with Primite, Dominus, Bystial, Despia and Stardust fragments diluting the engine, the 45% Tuner density in the Main Deck, and an empty Side Deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 80 / Control 20 (primary Midrange, interaction-led secondary) — weights applied from the Midrange row. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (-4); No post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*61.4 + 0.20*50 − 6 ≈ 53

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

• Dense interaction: 12 hand traps and 15 negate or removal effects
• Searcher density (14) for consistent access to Blue-Eyes and Primite pieces
• Wide Extra Deck boss coverage with high ATK Synchro and Fusion options
• Graveyard recursion through Maiden, Ghost Belle and Sage

Weaknesses

• Only 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the central starter
• Blue-Eyes purity is 21.8%; sub-archetypes compete for slots
• 18 Tuners in the Main Deck (45%) risks dead or redundant hands
• No side deck, so no matchup adaptation
• No combo data to confirm conversion

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon count (2 copies, about 24% per 5-card opening) limits the Blue-Eyes starter
• Tuner-based Synchro enablement depends on Tuners surviving interruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts respected; Archetype usage stats show Blue-Eyes core presence; Extra Deck composition: 9 Synchro, 3 Link, 3 Fusion
• Inferred: Starter access P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 per 3-copy card and ≈ 0.9993 for the Blue-Eyes core; Hand-trap redundancy and interruption resilience from card text; Going-second board-breaking from hand-trap density
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no Side Deck — post-side performance cannot be scored usage statistics.core cards marks Blue-Eyes Tyrant, Lightstorm, Hieratic, Crimson, Stardust, Malong, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Spirit with Eyes of Blue and Despian Luluwalilith as not in this deck, but the cards list includes all ten in the Extra Deck; the evidence pack is internally inconsistent and the core-coverage figure (15/25) is unreliable no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
