Blue-Eyes Deck #773632 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±7 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Combo
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Overwhelm with 3000+ ATK Blue-Eyes bodies converted into Level 9 Synchro (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon), Rank 8 Xyz (Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, Number 68: Sanaphond the Sky Prison) and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, backed by layered negation.; Grind with Azure-Eyes revival, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon / Chaos Dragon Levianeer Graveyard summons and True Light recursion until the opponent runs out of answers.
• Turn 1 (going first): Kaibaman the Legend (or Melody of Awakening Dragon / Bingo Machine, Go!!!) into Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Synchro into Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, then layer True Light / Majesty of the White Dragons / Infinite Impermanence as follow-up interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Lead with hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Infinite Impermanence) to shrink the opposing board, then use Forbidden Droplet, Ultimate Fusion or Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier to clear, and close with 3000+ ATK bodies and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon's multi-attack.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the Graveyard: Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon revives a Normal Monster, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon special summons itself when a card is destroyed, Chaos Dragon Levianeer banishes 3 LIGHT/DARK for a body plus removal, True Light keeps recurring Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
• After siding: None — no Side Deck is submitted (side_count = 0) even though the format allows up to 9, so the list cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

This is a Blue-Eyes midrange tempo list: 3 Kaibaman the Legend, 3 The Melody of Awakening Dragon and 1 Bingo Machine, Go!!! give roughly a 76% chance of opening a card that finds or produces a 3000-ATK Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and the Extra Deck converts those bodies into Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss. Interaction is genuinely layered — Spirit Dragon's Graveyard-effect negate and tag-out, two Extra Deck monster-effect negates, 3 Infinite Impermanence, 2 Forbidden Droplet, Majesty of the White Dragons' destruction and True Light's targeting protection — with 10 of 30 main slots dedicated to non-engine disruption. The score is not earned by Blue-Eyes' popularity, by guide claims of Tier-1 status, or by averaging individual card scores; it comes from starter redundancy and interaction density measured on the system. It is held down by a real dead-card cluster (Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon has no in-deck Ritual Spell and depends on a single Majesty of the White Dragons sitting in the Graveyard; Chaos Dragon Levianeer, Ultimate Fusion and Synchro Rumble all need setup), an empty Side Deck, and above all by the list being Illegal — Majesty of the White Dragons is Limited to 1 but two copies are registered. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference, and the reported number is a structural/theoretical cap rather than a performance estimate; a legal one-card fix would put the same shell in the mid-50s.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Hard-garnet / dead-card burden (-4); No side deck (-3); Engine compactness (2); Extra Deck coverage (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(54) = 58, + context modifiers (-3) = 55, then hard legality cap to 38 because the list is Illegal (Majesty of the White Dragons x2, limit 1). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.12 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Redundant core access: 3 Kaibaman the Legend, 3 The Melody of Awakening Dragon and 1 Bingo Machine, Go!!! give P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.764 to reach a Blue-Eyes line.
• Ten of 30 main slots are dedicated interaction (3 Infinite Impermanence, 3 Droll & Lock Bird, 2 Forbidden Droplet, 2 Mulcharmy Fuwalos), a high disruption density for a 30-card Duel Links deck.
• Extra Deck negation is layered: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon (Graveyard-effect negate + tag-out), Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss each negate a monster effect.
• Offensive pressure is uniform — every payoff is 2500–3400 ATK, and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon can attack every opposing monster once each.
• The Graveyard is a live resource: Azure-Eyes revival, Jet Dragon self-summon, Levianeer banishing and True Light recursion provide real follow-up turns.

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Majesty of the White Dragons is Limited to 1 but 2 copies are registered, so this exact build cannot be played as submitted.
• No combo boards recorded, so the ceiling and median are unverified textual inference rather than measured output.
• Dead-card cluster: Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon is only Ritual Summonable via Majesty of the White Dragons' Graveyard effect (no Ritual Spell in the deck), and Levianeer / Ultimate Fusion / Synchro Rumble need prior setup.
• No Side Deck at all, so the deck cannot adapt in a best-of-3 or between games.
• Most routes collapse into 'resolve Kaibaman or hold a Blue-Eyes White Dragon' — the mid-range plan is narrow against heavy hand-trap interaction.

Critical choke points

• Kaibaman the Legend resolving: it is the cleanest one-card route from a Level 1 Tuner to a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and there is no second copy-equivalent of that effect in the list.
• Majesty of the White Dragons being the sole enabler for Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon — and now Limited to 1, so the Ritual payoff is fragile as well as illegal.
• Graveyard setup: Chaos Dragon Levianeer, Synchro Rumble and Ultimate Fusion are all inert without prior dumping/Summoning.
• Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon's clause preventing either player from Special Summoning 2+ monsters at the same time restricts the deck's own follow-up combos.
• True Light destroys all your monsters if it is sent from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard — a self-inflicted blowout point against Spell/Trap removal.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Majesty of the White Dragons has legal_copies = 1 and copies_run = 2 (over copy limit).; Main Deck 30, Extra Deck 9, Side Deck 0 against Duel Links size rules (main 20-30, extra 0-9, side 0-9).; Crimson Dragon is Limited to 1 and is run at exactly 1 copy.; Extra Deck composition: 6 Synchro, 2 Xyz, 1 Fusion.; Card texts used for role assignment (Spirit Dragon Graveyard negate, Photon Lord / Hot Red Abyss negates, Majesty Graveyard Ritual Summon, True Light destroy-all drawback, Synchro Rumble Extra Deck lock).; Usage statistics report 24 tracked cards at 100% inclusion with 16 of them present in this list.
• Observed: combos_evidence.total_combos = 0 and scored_combos = 0 — no recorded boards exist for this deck.; No tournament link was attached (tournament_context.available = false).
• Inferred: P(≥1 starter among Kaibaman x3 + Melody x3 + Bingo Machine x1 in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.764.; P(≥1 hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand) ≈ 0.773.; Full-brick rate ≈ 0.18 from conditional-slot density (Chaos Dragon, Levianeer, Ultimate Fusion, Synchro Rumble, Alternative without Blue-Eyes).; Median line is one 3000-ATK body plus one disruption; ceiling is Spirit Dragon + Rank 8 negate + set backrow.; Grind loop exists via Azure-Eyes revival, Jet Dragon, Levianeer and True Light.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null — no dated metagame sample was supplied.; Matchup/format fit relies only on a guide claim that Blue-Eyes was Tier 1 in an October 2025 Duel Links environment.; Post-side performance is unknown because no Side Deck exists.
• 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 exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. The active Duel Links skill is not included in the evidence, yet the guides state the deck leans on a Blue-Eyes skill for its Normal-Summon line. usage_statistics marks several cards as in_this_deck = false even though the resolved cards array includes them (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Azure-Eyes, Trishula, Hot Red Abyss, Crimson Dragon, Tyrant Dragon, Photon Lord, Sanaphond) — the cards array was treated as the source of truth. No Side Deck submitted, so no side-plan evidence exists.
