Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon a Blue-Eyes boss (Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon 4500 ATK, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon 3500 ATK, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon 3400 ATK) after Blue-Eyes White Dragon is on the field, then attack through a board cleared by removal (Majesty of the White Dragons, True Light, Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons).; Hand-trap-supported board control (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird) that keeps the opponent from establishing a board long enough for the Extra Deck bosses to convert.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Tuner (Sage with Eyes of Blue or Maiden of White) and search with Sage, Wishes for Eyes of Blue, Primite Dragon Ether Beryl or Primite Lordly Lode to reach a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and a Synchro or Fusion boss line, keeping Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence up for the opponent's turn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a six-card hand with 1-2 hand traps (about 89% chance of at least one in hand) and respond to the opponent's first board by negating the key monster, then rebuild through searcher text (about 89% chance of at least one searcher in an opening five) toward a boss.
• Recovery: Recover through Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons and Mausoleum of White to special summon or add Blue-Eyes material from the Deck, GY, or banishment, and through Maiden of White recursion from the GY after a Blue-Eyes White Dragon is summoned.
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no evidenced post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Blue-Eyes midrange system, not as an average of its card scores. Its strongest reliable output is interaction: 12 hand traps and about 89% odds of at least one going-second hand trap, plus 14 searcher-text cards with about 89% odds of at least one in an opening five. Its ceiling comes from the Extra Deck bosses (Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit, Blue-Eyes Tyrant), but its engine depends on only two Blue-Eyes White Dragons (about 23% to open one with five cards), which caps consistency. There is no combo or tournament data, so floor and median output are inferred from text alone, and there is no side deck or post-side plan. Popularity did not earn points: the usage statistics only confirm that the archetype core is real and accessible.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (D13 dropped, weights renormalized over 95). Structural ≈ 64.5, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine conflict / thin Normal-Summon support (-2); Blue-Eyes White Dragon choke point (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated meta sample) = 0.80*64.5 + 0.20*52 - 3 = 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• 12 hand traps (Infinite Impermanence x3, Ash Blossom x3, Nibiru x3, Effect Veiler x2, Droll and Lock Bird) give about 89% odds of at least one going second
• 14 searcher-text copies give about 89% odds of at least one in an opening five
• Layered interaction: negation and removal text across Dominus Purge, Majesty, True Light, Roar, Drillbeam and Bystial
• High-ATK Extra Deck boss options: Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate 4500, Stardust Sifr 4000, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit 3500, Blue-Eyes Tyrant 3400

Weaknesses

• Only 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragons, which the Blue-Eyes and Tyrant lines depend on (about 23% to open one)
• Exact-name archetype purity 23.2% with 43 off-archetype copies, which dilutes the engine
• No Side Deck: no post-side adaptability and no post-side plan
• All 15 Extra slots are used, with 8 single-copy Extra cards and no redundancy for most bosses
• No combo or tournament data, so the floor and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon: 2 copies gate the Blue-Eyes and Tyrant boss lines
• Normal-Monster enablers for Primite (only 2 Normal Monsters in the Main Deck)
• No side deck: no answer to a bad matchup after game one

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 41 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within Master Duel size rules; Limited Bystial Magnamhut run at 1 (legal 1); Semi-Limited Droll and Lock Bird run at 1 (legal 2); Copy histogram and card text excerpts for all listed cards; Usage statistics (archetype inclusion percentages); Archetype purity 23.2% exact-name match
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap probabilities used for D1, D2, D5, D8; Dimension scores D1-D12 and D14 from card text and composition; Structural 64.5 and Final 59 (Midrange weights with D13 dropped); Combo ceiling (D3) read from Extra Deck boss text only; Going-first 70 and going-second 72 estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (placeholder 50, excluded from Structural); Tournament Reliability 52 (no tournament or match record); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• 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/second, matchup, brick/starter rates): those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed usage statistics in this deck flags conflict with cards[]: Lightstorm Dragon, Crimson Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant, Stardust Sifr, Spirit with Eyes of Blue, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit and Hieratic Seal are listed as not in this deck but appear in cards[], so cards[] was trusted and core-card presence likely understates deck title is null; name taken as Blue-Eyes archetype
