Power Patron — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro combo into multi-negate boards (Junora, Ruddy Rose, Crystal Wing) via Elfnote/Mulcharmy engines; Going-second removal and board break with hand traps and field interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an Elfnote starter (Lucina, Regina, Tinia, Fortuna) or Mulcharmy to establish a Synchro line; tutor into board via searchers; end on 1–2 negates and field control
• Turn 2 (going second): Discard hand traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Veiler, Ogre) to answer opponent setups; use removal options (Illusion Gate, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster) to clear boards; pivot into Synchro if clearing succeeds
• Recovery: Recursion via Bystial Magnamhut and GY looping with Elfnote recursion; Fydraulis Harmonia as interruption tech; draw engines (Pot of Sloth, Mulcharmy effects, Junoldo pendulum) to refill
• After siding: No sideboard supplied; structural deck remains unchanged post-game

Why it scores here

This Power Patron deck opens a functional engine ~85% of the time via Elfnote + Mulcharmy starters, converting into multi-negate Synchro boards through a well-stocked Extra Deck. Median output is modest—typically 1–2 layered interactions rather than excessive negation—and the deck lacks sideboard construction for best-of-3. Hand-trap density and going-second tools provide real interaction, but single-point-of-failure lines and moderate recursion hold it back from higher scores. Popularity and archetype meta-share did not contribute to the score; the deck is evaluated on system cohesion, consistency floor, and realistic combo output.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.70 Combo + 0.30 Midrange. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: No sideboard (-3); Missing core cards (-2); Deck compactness (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no sideboard data)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.68 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.14 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong Elfnote + Mulcharmy engine with ~86% T1 starter probability
• 15-card Synchro Extra Deck provides multi-layered negation (Junora, Crystal Wing, Stardust, Ruddy Rose)
• 12 hand-traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Veiler, Ogre, Droll) enable competitive going-second play
• Fydraulis Harmonia as unique interruption tech via hand reveal and level-scaling Synchro
• Recursive loops via Bystial and Elfnote recursion support mid-game recovery
• Efficient main-deck packing with balanced tuner/non-tuner ratio for Synchro access

Weaknesses

• No sideboard; best-of-3 format presents zero adaptive capacity
• Missing core cards (Jupiter, Junora) vs. archetype standard reduce combo ceiling by ~8–10%
• Median combo output is 1–2 negates, not explosive; high-interaction decks can out-grind this list
• Pot of Sloth situational draw; Fydraulis conditional reveal; both can clog hand without opponent field
• Over-saturation of Level 6 Spellcasters creates hand redundancy and brick risk on high-copy hands
• Closing power weak; no piercing, no OTK lines; reliant on board control and multi-turn grind

Critical choke points

• T1 opener is single-threaded through Elfnote core; if Lucina/Regina/Tinia negated on setup, line collapses into modest 1-Synchro board
• Fydraulis reveals hand and is a one-of; if removed before activation, backup interruption severely limited
• Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia require empty field to activate; incorrect sequencing leaves them dead
• Extra Deck is Synchro-only with no non-Synchro flex slots; non-Synchro-centric opponents exploit this limitation
• Pot of Sloth only triggers when opponent controls cards; weak on empty opponent field

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 55 main / 15 extra / 0 side; Card text from resolution field for all 43 distinct cards; Banlist status: 8 Limited/Semi-Limited, all within legal copies; Extra Deck composition: 15 Synchro, 0 other types; Archetype core present: 10 of 12 core cards per usage_statistics (83.3%)
• Observed: Usage statistics: Mulcharmy Fuwalos 100% inclusion, Ash Blossom 91%, Droll 89%, Portal Terminus 86%; Copy histogram: 10 cards at 3-of, 7 at 2-of, 11 at 1-of
• Inferred: Engine accessibility: P(≥1 core starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.86 via hypergeometric from archetype_core_group; Brick rate: ~14% estimated from non-starter, over-saturated Level 6 Spellcasters; Combo ceiling: Junora (negate all) + Ruddy Rose (board wipe) + Stardust (destruction negate) inferred from card text; Combo median: 1–2 negates per T1 line, inferred from starter diversity (Regina auto-extends, Lucina tunes); Going-second resilience: 12 hand-traps present; realistic coverage of ~60–70% of meta decks; Pilotability: 3–5 summon chains typical; moderate decision density; Closing power: Synchro ATK 3000–3500 range; grind-dependent, not explosive
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample supplied); Format fit: Archetype meta-share unknown; core-card alignment suggests viability but cannot confirm without tournament context; Best-of-3 reliability: severely penalized by zero sideboard; post-side performance is theoretical
• Data gaps: No combos supplied in evidence; all combo floor/median/ceiling analysis is text-inferred No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) exists in YGOVN; meta power is Provisional No sideboard supplied; best-of-3 evaluation limited to theoretical structural score No dated metagame sample; Meta Power remains null and Final Contextual Power uses only Structural + TournamentReliability No guide snippets; strategic intent inferred from card text and composition
