Power Patron Deck #762846 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 11 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boss beatdown from the Elfnote / Power Patron engine (Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Tinia, Junora, Chaos Angel, Psychic End Punisher class of Synchro monsters); Hand-trap and negation disruption to keep the opponent off-board while the Synchro boss lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Elfnote Power Patron / Elfnote Lucina / Elfnote Regina to search and Special Summon into a Synchro boss; protect with Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit. Falls off sharply when the Forbidden/over-limit cards are removed.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle and Nibiru as hand traps against the opponent's first summon, then convert with the Elfnote engine.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos / Purulia draw-on-summon effects and Pot of Sloth refill the hand after a trade of interaction.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan in the list as submitted.

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is reasonably accessible: the archetype core (22 copies) gives about 0.92 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its conversion depends on a Synchro boss, and it carries an interaction suite of hand traps and negations (about 0.85 chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand, Inferred). Output is not measurable: there are no recorded boards, so ceiling and median are text-only reads. The list is illegal: 8 Forbidden cards and 3 over-limit cards. Under the rubric it is capped to a theoretical, structural-only score. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, not that it is strong. The cards were not averaged; the score reflects the system's consistency and interaction, reduced by the legality cap. Only 5.5% of the main deck uses the exact Power Patron name, and 69 off-archetype copies are split across many sub-archetypes, which weakens engine coherence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary; Structural from the Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8). Final formula: Structural 45 → 0.80·45 + 0.20·35 = 43 (Meta provisional) → banlist-exposure modifier −8 = 35 → Illegal cap applied = 20 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Core engine cards are accessible in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Layered hand-trap and negation interaction for going second (Inferred)
• Strong Synchro bosses in the Extra Deck (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 8 Forbidden and 3 over-limit cards (Verified)
• No side deck (Verified)
• Engine split across many sub-archetypes; 5.5% exact archetype purity (Verified)
• No recorded boards, so combo output is unmeasured (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Single Synchro boss as the win condition
• Forbidden Elfnote Tinia and Anti-Spell Fragrance removed from the engine would cut the main line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: 8 Forbidden and 3 over-limit cards; Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within size rules; Archetype core 22 copies at 100% inclusion (usage stats)
• Observed: Usage stats show 39 archetype rows; 12 of 25 core cards present
• Inferred: P(≥1 core in hand5) ≈ 0.92 (hypergeometric); Engine accessibility and interaction read from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
