Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Card-advantage grind into Blue-Eyes White Dragon pressure; Exodia alternate win from five pieces (low probability)
  • Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 draw spells (Upstart Goblin, Shard of Greed, Chicken Game); if Consonance and White Stone are both in hand, discard Stone to Consonance to tutor Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then Trade-In the Dragon for 2 cards
  • Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand: draw spells to dig for Blue-Eyes, Double Summon for a second Normal Summon, Dark Factory to return Normal monsters; no reliable board breaker or interaction
  • Recovery: Draw spells and Royal Magical Library refill the hand; Dark Factory and Magical Stone Excavation recover Normal monsters and Spells from the GY
  • After siding: None: the deck runs zero side deck cards

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: it reliably finds draw spells (about 0.73 chance of at least one unconditional draw spell in a going-first opening five), which gives it card flow, but its engines are conditional. Consonance to Stone to Blue-Eyes to Trade-In needs two specific cards together (about 4.5% in an opening five), and Golden Bamboo Sword does nothing without an Original Bamboo Sword already on the field. Interaction is thin with no hand traps or floodgates, and the board-breaking and closing power depends on Blue-Eyes White Dragon and a direct attack. The Exodia alternate win needs five specific pieces and is effectively unreachable from the opening hand. The archetype usage stats show the core cards are real and accessible, but that popularity earned no points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 55 P(>=1 unconditional draw spell in hand5) ~0.73; P(Consonance and Stone both in hand5) ~0.045; P(>=1 Blue-Eyes for Trade-In) 0.33 (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 35 Many conditional dead cards: Golden Bamboo Sword x3 needs Original Bamboo Sword in play, Trade-In x3 needs a Level 8 monster (only Blue-Eyes), Consonance x2 needs Stone, four Exodia limbs are dead outside Exodia (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 42 Text-only conversion: Consonance to Stone to Blue-Eyes tutor to Trade-In draw chain, plus the Exodia alternate win; no recorded boards to measure (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 35 No recorded combos, so median output is unmeasured; a typical hand yields draw spells but little board presence (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 50 Nine unconditional draw copies give redundancy, but the engine lines fail on a single interruption and the deck has no protection (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 68 21 draw-text copies plus Royal Magical Library give strong card flow; Upstart Goblin and Chicken Game carry life-point costs (Inferred from card text)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 22 Only Spell Power Attainment x2 for negation and Chicken Game self-destruction; zero hand traps and zero floodgates (Verified role flags / Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 30 Original Bamboo Sword's destroy-all needs direct battle damage; a six-card going-second hand has no reliable board breaker (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 45 Blue-Eyes White Dragon x3 at 3000 ATK is the only real pressure; limbs are 200 ATK and Exodia the Obliterator is 1000 ATK (Verified stats / Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 41 main cards inside the 40-60 range, but 27 spells to 14 monsters and only 12.2% exact-name archetype purity leave many conditional slots (Verified composition / Inferred)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 50 No Extra Deck cards at all; Extra slots are unused and neither rewarded nor penalised beyond Exodia the Obliterator in the Main Deck (Verified)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 Zero side deck cards, so no post-side plan exists (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link and no dated metagame sample; neutral placeholder (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Several conditional sequences plus an Exodia line to track each turn, with many decision points (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 42.2, Going First ≈ 36, Going Second ≈ 37, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-2); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.8*42.2 + 0.2*38 = 41.3, then -4 modifiers = 37)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.73 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.05 · 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 draw package (21 draw-text copies, Royal Magical Library)
  • Clear Blue-Eyes card-advantage chain via Consonance, White Stone and Trade-In
  • Fully legal list with Limited Exodia pieces at one copy each

Weaknesses

  • No hand traps, no floodgates, very little interaction
  • Golden Bamboo Sword x3 is dead without Original Bamboo Sword in play
  • Zero side deck
  • Only 14 monsters for a deck with Bamboo Sword, Blue-Eyes and Exodia plans

Critical choke points

  • Consonance plus White Stone (about 4.5% both in an opening five) to start the Blue-Eyes engine
  • Original Bamboo Sword in play before Golden Bamboo Sword does anything
  • Exodia requires all five pieces and is not reachable from the opening hand
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 none (structural) a 15-card side deck Zero side deck cards means no post-side plan; adding side cards is the largest single fix
2 Golden Bamboo Sword x3 cards that function without Original Bamboo Sword in play Three copies are conditionally dead in most hands
3 Exodia limbs (four copies of single-copy monsters) additional monsters or a second Blue-Eyes route Limbs add dead weight outside an Exodia plan that is effectively unreachable; the deck has only 14 monsters

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality: 41 main cards inside 40-60, Limited Exodia pieces at one copy each; Card text for all distinct cards; Zero side and zero Extra Deck cards; Composition counts (27 spells, 14 monsters, purity 12.2%); Usage stats: core cards at 100% inclusion
  • Inferred: Hypergeometric draw and combo odds (0.73, 0.045, 0.021); Exodia opening-hand odds; Brick and conditional-dead-card estimates; Structural dimension scores and text-only combo read
  • Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
