Blue-Eyes Deck #773869 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon pressure, protected by 12 hand-trap and negation effects; Lightstorm Dragon and Stardust Sifr synchro bodies once the board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level 1 Tuner (Sage, Maiden, Effect Veiler) or search via Primite Lordly Lode / Sage, then Synchro toward Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon; keep Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Effect Veiler up for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C and Infinite Impermanence to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild through the Extra Deck from the field and GY
• Recovery: Maiden of White can be revived from the GY when a Blue-Eyes White Dragon is Special Summoned; Ghost Belle and Ash recover interaction; Sage and Wishes for Eyes of Blue re-search Tuners and Spell/Traps
• After siding: No side deck is built (side count 0). The deck has no post-side plan in its current list; Master Duel-style single-deck play is assumed

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Blue-Eyes-or-Primite starter: a 3-copy Tuner or Lode-style searcher gives about a 0.90 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 cards (Inferred, hypergeometric), and the archetype's 12 exact Blue-Eyes names keep its engine reachable. Its strongest scoring comes from interaction density, with 12 hand traps and negation effects (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Droll, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence) giving about a 0.90 chance of at least one hand trap when going second; this earns D5 and D7 on the system, not from averaging card quality. The score is held back by the thin Blue-Eyes spine: only 2 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (three materials) and Majesty of the White Dragons both need, and 21.8% exact archetype purity with off-archetype Primite, Bystial, Dominus and Stardust cards competing for slots. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median (D3, D4) are text-only inference. Archetype popularity (usage stats) confirms the list is real and accessible, but it did not add points; Meta Power is left provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary profile used unchanged; Control secondary disclosed, not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); unrecoverable choke point (-3); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated meta sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 and negation suite (12 cards) gives high going-second interaction
• Multiple independent Level 1 Tuner and searcher starters keep the engine reachable
• Recursion (Maiden of White, Ghost Belle) supports recovery after disruption
• Legal in format with all Limited cards at their legal cap

Weaknesses

• Only 2 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the spine of most Extra-Deck routes
• Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon needs three BEWD materials and is effectively unreachable
• Low exact archetype purity (21.8%) with several competing engines
• No side deck, so no post-side adjustment
• Several conditional dead cards in hand (Majesty, Mausoleum, Drillbeam)

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (2 copies) for Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Tyrant Dragon and Majesty
• Tuner availability, since most Synchro routes need a Level 1 Tuner from hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 40 main / 15 extra / 0 side within size rules; Limited cards Maxx C and Bystial Magnamhut at 1 legal copy each, 1 run; Copy histogram 1:11, 2:4, 3:7 and 22 distinct main-deck cards; Usage stats: 30 rows; 15 of 25 core cards present (60%)
• Observed: Usage stats show Blue-Eyes core cards at high inclusion in the archetype
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) = 0.90; P(at least one hand trap going second) = 0.90; Consistency, brick and interaction estimates derived from text and probabilities; Going-first and going-second power blends
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Post-side plan (no side deck built)
• 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, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null
