Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro or Fusion boss (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Stardust Sifr) reached through Blue-Eyes White Dragon or a Primite Lordly Lode search, with Ghost Ogre and Ash Blossom protecting the line; Primite Imperial Dragon and Primite Dragon Ether Beryl as a second, Normal-Summon-based board that doubles as a Primite Lordly Lode target
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Effect Veiler or Sage with Eyes of Blue to search and build toward a Synchro or Fusion boss, holding Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Droll as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild a board from the surviving hand-trap-free cards
• Recovery: Recover from a hand-trap-only hand by Normal Summoning Sage or Maiden of White for the searchers, and using Primite Lordly Lode or Wishes-style search to reach a Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Primite target
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often because it runs 13 searcher-text cards and 3 copies each of several starters, giving an estimated 88 percent chance of at least one searcher in the opening five cards (Inferred). Its real strength is the interaction layer: 14 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards let it answer the opponent's first summon, search, or boss on either turn order, which is why the going-second score is higher than the going-first score. Conversion is the weak point. Only 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon are main-deck starters, so the namesake engine bricks often and the probability that a Blue-Eyes White Dragon is in the opening five is only about 24 percent (Inferred). The deck also splits between Blue-Eyes, Primite, Dominus and Bystial lines, so the archetype-exact purity is 23.6 percent and some hands hold cards that cannot combine. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are inferred from card text rather than measured. The score reflects consistency, median output and interaction on the whole system, not the popularity of Blue-Eyes and not an average of individual card strengths.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Engine conflicts across archetypes (-4); Namesake starter brick risk (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*53.7 + 0.20*42 - 6 = 45.4

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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 layer (14 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards) that answers most early plays on either turn order
• Searcher density (13 searcher-text cards) gives a reasonable chance of a live hand
• Multiple Extra Deck boss options with high ATK (3500 to 4500)

Weaknesses

• Only 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon, so the namesake engine bricks often
• Three to four archetype lines in one 40-card list, reducing engine coherence
• No combo evidence, so the conversion ceiling and median are unverified
• Hand-trap-heavy hands can be dead when the opponent does not commit a card

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon availability for Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Ultimate Spirit and Neo Blue-Eyes lines
• Primite Lordly Lode search quality, which the Primite line depends on

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; no violations; Restricted cards Maxx C and Bystial Magnamhut at 1 copy each (Limited); Droll and Lock Bird at 2 copies (Semi-Limited); Composition: 16 Tuner Monsters, 14 hand traps by flag, 13 searcher-text, 12 negation-text, 16 removal-text; Usage statistics: 14 of 25 tracked core cards present; Archetype-exact purity 23.6 percent
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Consistency and brick estimates from card text and copy counts; Ceiling and floor from card text only; Going-first and going-second splits from interaction density
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample supplied; Tournament reliability: no pilot or tournament record
• 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, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power Provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics mark Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Lightstorm Dragon, Hieratic Seal, Crimson Dragon, Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon as absent (in_this_deck false) even though they appear in the Extra Deck card list; the core-coverage figure of 56 percent is therefore understated and was not used to judge the list The archetype_core_group probability (0.998) counts generic and sub-archetype names and is not a starter probability
