Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon board pressure, once Blue-Eyes White Dragon is established; Synchro and Link extenders (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Stardust Sifr, Cosmic Blazar) on a Blue-Eyes or Ritual base
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon into a Blue-Eyes engine (Sage with Eyes of Blue, Master with Eyes of Blue, Bingo Machine) and reach Blue-Eyes White Dragon; this is only a text-based read because no board data exists
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom x2, Ghost Belle) to answer the opposing starter, then rebuild through Blue-Eyes and Light and Darkness Ritual searchers
• Recovery: Recycle Blue-Eyes monsters from the GY through Sage, Master with Eyes of Blue and Deep-Eyes; Pot of Sloth and Upstart Goblin for card flow
• After siding: Not applicable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores, and popularity earned no points: the Chaos archetype's exact-name purity is only 3.5%, and the list is split across Blue-Eyes, Light and Darkness Ritual, Bystial, Dark Magician, Greed and Stardust. Its engine (17 searcher-text cards, 93% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) and its interaction density (6 hand traps, 8 negation texts, 15 removal texts) are the main sources of structural strength, both Inferred from card text. Consistency is held back by many conflicting Normal Summons, a 62% going-second chance of a hand trap in six cards, and no recorded boards to confirm the combo ceiling. The deck has no side deck, which lowers adaptability and tournament reliability. Structural power is about 46 and the uncapped final is about 34, but because the list is Illegal (two Forbidden cards at one copy each), the score is capped to 30 and is theoretical or structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-3); no side deck (-2); illegal cap (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*46 + 0.20*40 - 11 = 33.8, capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.22 · 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 searcher text (17 cards) makes the engine reachable in most opening hands
• Six hand traps and 15 removal-text cards give layered interaction
• Extra Deck has strong end-board options (Blue-Eyes Tyrant, Spirit Dragon x3, Ultimate Spirit Dragon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards at one copy each
• Low archetype purity (3.5%) and split engines
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be confirmed

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (2 copies) is the main starter for the Blue-Eyes lines
• One Light and Darkness Ritual and one Preparation of Rites carry the Ritual route
• Ultimate Fusion (1 copy) is the only route to the Blue-Eyes Tyrant fusion

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 43 and Extra 14 are within TCG size rules; Magicians' Souls and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden with 1 copy each; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within limit; Side deck has 0 cards; Archetype purity is 3.5%
• Inferred: Consistency figures from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction and engine read from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent One passcode (card_id 23995346) could not be resolved to a card and was counted as Main No win-rate telemetry exists: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
