Power Patron Deck #765203 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Link/Xyz boss beatdown from Power Patron and Elfnote summons (Mediclius, Junora, Vidolium, Elfnote June Pride are the intended closers; only Mediclius, Elfnote Fortuna, Tinia and Vidolium are in the list); Elfnote Tinia / Lucina 2400–2500 ATK beatsticks with Elfnotes: Rhapsodia of Madness locking attacks
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an Elfnote Power Patron or Elfnote Regina/Lucina starter, Special Summon via Elfnote hand effects, and hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up for the first opposing hand trap or board play
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence) to slow the opponent's summons, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Elfnote recursion
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons; Elfnote Regina and Power Patron re-summon from the GY; Medius recurs Power Patron monsters
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in the list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an Elfnote or Power Patron starter: the archetype core (30 copies) has a 0.98 chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric), and several starters run 3 copies, so the engine is accessible on turn one. Interaction is dense for a 56-card main, with roughly 17 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards and 20 removal-text cards, which gives the system a real going-second answer layer (Inferred from card text). Conversion and floor are unmeasured because the deck has no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median scores rest on text reads only and are held down to moderate values. The score is not driven by Power Patron being a popular archetype (usage stats show 64 percent core presence), and the card scores were not averaged. The list is over the copy limit on two cards and has no side deck, so the structural read is capped as theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Structural 56 = Combo profile over D1–D14. Uncapped contextual value 0.80·56 + 0.20·40 = 52.8, then −12 banlist-exposure modifier ≈ 41. Illegal-deck cap applied: final score set to 30 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional, so excluded.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 hand-trap and negation layer (17 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards) for a going-second plan
• Redundant archetype core: 30 copies with a 0.98 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand
• Recursion and draw engines (Mulcharmy, Elfnote Regina, Medius) help card economy

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG as submitted: two cards exceed their copy limits
• No side deck (0 of up to 15 cards), so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-name purity (7%) and 66 off-archetype copies spread the engine thin
• No recorded combos, so conversion and floor are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Elfnote summon chain depends on Elfnote Power Patron and Regina being live on turn one
• Only one copy of several engine cards (Tinia, Fortuna, Mediclius-era Extra) so a single removal or hand trap can cut the line

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Elfnote Lucina 3 copies vs 1 legal and Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 legal (Illegal); Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts within TCG size rules (main 40–60, extra 0–15); Archetype core presence 64% and 30 copies of Power Patron/Elfnote core cards; Exact-name purity 7% (5 of 71 archetype-named copies)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability 0.98 for the archetype core; Interaction density from card text (17 hand traps, 13 negation-text, 20 removal-text); Going-second strength from hand-trap count; Structural dimension scores from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) No side deck in the export Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null; archetype label taken from archetype field
