Blue-Eyes Deck #774107 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon) reached through Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Synchro/Fusion summons; the list shows the Blue-Eyes core but the Extra Deck is not fully functional without its Synchro/Link/Xyz enablers.; Stardust and Primite sub-engines add extra Synchro and Normal Summon lines, but these are a secondary route and not a dedicated plan.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Normal Summon a Level 1 Tuner (Sage or Maiden) to reach the Blue-Eyes White Dragon line; keep Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird to stop the opponent's search and summon before rebuilding a Blue-Eyes board.
• Recovery: Searchers (Wishes for Eyes of Blue, Master with Eyes of Blue, Primite Dragon Ether Beryl) and recursive Tuners rebuild the hand after an interruption; this depends on keeping the Blue-Eyes White Dragon alive.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be evaluated; a best-of-3 deck with an empty side scores only the zero-side baseline.

Why it scores here

Scored on the deck as a system, not by averaging its cards: 17 hand traps and 15 searchers give it a reasonable chance of finding a starter, and the 3-copy starters (Sage, Maiden, Ghost Belle, Blue-Eyes White Dragon) reach about 26% per copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is dense and layered across Going First and Going Second, which is the deck's main strength. The 21.7% exact-name purity (15 of 54 main cards) and 27 generic cards show a loose engine with several sub-archetypes competing for slots, and the list has no recorded boards, no side deck and no tournament link, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured. The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies vs the Semi-Limited limit of 2), so the score is capped at 30 and reported as theoretical only. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, but they did not add points. The archetype-core and hand-trap probabilities were computed from the deck list alone, not from play data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (weights from Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 48.8, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation cap (-18); No side deck (-2). Final formula: Theoretical: 0.80*48.8 + 0.20*45 = 48.0; Illegal deck capped at 30 (Meta provisional, null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (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 (17 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards)
• High archetype-core access (P(core open) ~0.98)
• Several independent engine routes (Blue-Eyes, Primite, Stardust) for resilience

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom at 3 copies over the Semi-Limited limit
• Low exact-name purity (21.7%) and many off-archetype copies
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo or tournament data to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the key starter for most Blue-Eyes lines; a single hand disruption removes the main route
• Ash Blossom 3-copy count makes the list illegal until one copy is removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (Ash Blossom 3 copies vs Semi-Limited 2); Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and size rules; Archetype purity 21.7% (15 of 54); Side deck is empty
• Observed: Usage stats: 16 of 25 core cards present (64%)
• Inferred: P(>=1 starter in opening 5) = 0.257 per 3-copy starter; Hand-trap coverage and interaction density from card text; Going-first/second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit (D13)
• 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 win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck: post-side plan cannot be scored
