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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon / Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon boards built from Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Eyes of Blue searches (Inferred from text); Primite board via Primite Dragon Ether Beryl and Primite Lordly Lode; Stardust Warrior and Stardust Dragon - Victim Sanctuary as Synchro closers (Inferred from text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue or Master with Eyes of Blue, search a Tuner with Wishes or Lordly Lode, build a Synchro board, and hold Ash Blossom / Infinite Impermanence / Effect Veiler for the opponent's first interruption (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 17 hand traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, D.D. Crow, Droll & Lock Bird, Skull Meister, Nibiru, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence) to blank the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Eyes of Blue searchers and Synchro into Blue-Eyes bosses (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion via Maiden of White, Master with Eyes of Blue GY-to-hand, Dragon's Mind and Primite Dragon Ether Beryl; Ghost Belle and Ash Blossom can also save a line from the GY (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan at all

Why it scores here

This list does not open a single reliable plan: it splits 31 copies of Blue-Eyes and Primite-adjacent cards across two engines (Blue-Eyes at 15 copies, Primite at 7, Eyes of Blue at 5, Mulcharmy at 4), with 62 of 69 archetype-named copies off the exact archetype. Access to some core card is high (P of at least one core card in a 5-card hand is about 0.99 by the archetype-core proxy, Inferred), so the deck reliably gets something on the field, but the 'something' is often a hand trap or a Tuner rather than a converting line. Interaction is the real strength: 17 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and Dragon's Mind give dense negation and board control, and going second P(at least one hand trap in 6 cards) is about 0.91 (Inferred). Closing power depends on Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit and Neo Blue-Eyes lines that have no recorded boards, so the ceiling is text-only. The score is not driven by the popularity of Blue-Eyes or Primite, and the card scores were not averaged; the deck is capped low because the Ash Blossom copy limit is violated (3 copies, 2 legal).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Engine conflict (two engines) (-4); Banlist exposure (-2); Illegal copy limit (Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2) (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta = provisional: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52.8 + 0.20*45 - 10 = 41.4; Illegal cap (copy limit violated) applied: final = min(41.4, 35) = 35 (theoretical/structural read only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• 17 hand traps and 20 removal/tech effects give dense interaction (Verified text, Inferred weight)
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with Synchro, Link, Fusion and XYZ coverage (Verified)
• High core-group access by proxy (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2 (Verified)
• Two competing engines (Blue-Eyes and Primite) with 10.1% exact-name purity (Verified composition, Inferred impact)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median cannot be measured (Verified gap)
• Very high hand-trap count makes many hands dead without the right trigger (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy limit must be fixed before this list can be played legally
• Going first, the opening hand relies on a Normal Summon or Tuner to start the engine; without one, the Blue-Eyes and Primite lines do not start (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 54, Extra 15, Side 0 (within TCG size rules); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies, legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Limited cards at 1 copy each: Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Harpie's Feather Duster, Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Magnamhut; Composition: 15 Tuners, 17 hand traps, 15 searcher-text cards, 20 removal-text cards; Extra Deck: Synchro 9, Link 3, Fusion 2, XYZ 1
• Observed: No recorded boards or combos (0 total)
• Inferred: P(at least one core card in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.99 (proxy); Going-second P(at least one hand trap in 6) ≈ 0.91; Two-engine split reduces consistency; Structural score 52.8 under Midrange weights
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: Ash Blossom copy count violates the banlist (3 vs 2): deck is Illegal and the score is capped usage_statistics contradicts the deck list: missing_core marks Crimson Dragon, Stardust Sifr, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit, Lightstorm Dragon, Hieratic Seal, Blue-Eyes Tyrant, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate and Spirit with Eyes of Blue as not in deck, yet all appear in the cards list (zone extra); core_present_pct 68 is unreliable 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; brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be measured
