Blue-Eyes Deck #773824 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Blue-Eyes Synchro/Fusion boss line (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon) converted from searched or Special Summoned Dragons.; Spirit with Eyes of Blue and Dragon Synchro bosses that stack negation and pressure once a board is established.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Tuner or Blue-Eyes card with Wishes for Eyes of Blue or Sage with Eyes of Blue, keep Ash Blossom and Maxx C or Effect Veiler up, then Synchro or Link into a negating boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre) to answer the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild a boss from the surviving hand and GY.
• Recovery: Use the GY-triggered Blue-Eyes effects and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon to recycle monsters, and recover Blue-Eyes White Dragon through Mausoleum of White and Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck in this export (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan is scored.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan most of the time: the searcher group (14 copies) reaches at least one hand in 89% of openings (hypergeometric, Inferred), and the Blue-Eyes core is present in nearly every opening. Its interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 13 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards that answer the first summon or effect on either side of the turn, which is why going-second and end-board interaction score well. Conversion is less certain: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median scores rest on text reading and structure only (Inferred), and the low 19.6% exact-archetype purity plus the off-archetype Primite and Bystial lines add engine friction that caps consistency. Popularity and the archetype's usage stats confirm the list is real and widely run, but they earned no points by themselves, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary; D13 included as scored at 5 weight, Meta provisional. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Engine conflict / low purity (-3); Single-copy Extra-Deck choke point (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-5)

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

• Dense interaction package (13 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards) that answers most first-turn plays on either side.
• Searcher redundancy (14 copies) gives an ~89% chance of a searcher in the opening hand.
• Multiple Blue-Eyes boss routes (Synchro, Fusion, Link) that give the deck several ways to convert a board.

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be verified.
• Low exact-archetype purity (19.6%) with a Primite splash and off-engine single copies creates hand conflicts.
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon is only 2 copies, so the central starter is missing from most openings.

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon access (2 copies, ~23% in opening 5) gates the Blue-Eyes recursion and tribute plan.
• Dependence on Spirit with Eyes of Blue (2 copies) as the Link enabler for the Dragon engine.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 41 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, no violations; Bystial Magnamhut and Maxx C are Limited at 1 copy each.; Archetype usage: 91% inclusion for Maxx C and Ash Blossom; 65% for Fydraulis Harmonia.; Searcher, hand-trap, and negation text counts from role hints.
• Inferred: Searcher P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.89 and hand-trap P(≥1 in going-second 6) ≈ 0.92 from hypergeometric draws.; Blue-Eyes White Dragon P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.23 as a choke point.; Interaction quality and boss conversion from card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample or tournament link exists.; Matchup coverage (D13) is an unverified estimate.
• 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) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Data inconsistency: usage statistics marks Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon (89604813) and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (56532353) as not in deck, but the cards list includes both in the Extra Deck; the deck export should be verified before the usage-based core read is trusted
