Power Patron Deck #765482 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boards (Junora, Jupiter, Nerva, Vidolium 5000 ATK route) backed by Varudras and Mercurium; Pendulum-zone pressure converted through interaction-backed grind
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Pendulum pair (scale 1 plus scale 11) or a Medius/Portal/Plane searcher line, reach a Power Patron Extra Deck boss, and hold Ash, Impermanence or Droll for protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash, Impermanence, Droll, Maxx C) on the opponent's summons, then a Pendulum or Link follow-up; Junora negates face-up effects when it lands
• Recovery: Vidolium Special Summons a Power Patron from GY, Shade returns itself to hand, Junoldo draws 2 and discards 1
• After siding: No side deck in the export; no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

Power Patron is a 55-card system: 14 Pendulum monsters (11 distinct cards at 3 copies), Medius as a searcher, and two Power Patron spells give high access to the engine (searcher-group P(at least one in opening 5) about 0.99, Inferred). The Extra Deck supplies high-impact boards (Junora, Jupiter, Nerva, Varudras, Mercurium), and interaction is the strongest part of the system: 8 hand traps, 10 traps and 20 negation-text cards answer plays on either turn. The weak points are a going-first Pendulum route that needs a scale 1 plus scale 11 pair (about 0.34 in an opening 5, Inferred), a 20 percent hand-trap load that bricks when the opponent does nothing, and a multi-archetype support base (23.6 percent exact-archetype purity) that dilutes the engine. No combo boards were supplied, so ceiling and median are text-only inference, and there is no side deck or meta sample; the score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from Power Patron's popularity and not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: multi-archetype dilution (-3); redundant starter density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Three 3-copy searchers and Vidolium GY recursion give multiple starts
• Dense interaction: 8 hand traps, 10 traps, 20 negation-text cards
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses with negation on Junora and Varudras
• Legal in full with all restricted cards within copy limits

Weaknesses

• Going-first Pendulum route needs a specific scale pair (about 0.34 in opening 5)
• 8 hand traps and several conditional traps brick without opponent action
• Low exact-archetype purity dilutes the engine
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Scale 1 plus scale 11 Pendulum pair on going first
• Single-copy Extra Deck bosses (Junora, Jupiter, Nerva) with no duplicates
• Single copies of Droll and Maxx C limit hand-trap redundancy

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 within size rules; Crossout Designator 1 of 1 legal, Maxx C 1 of 1 legal, Droll and Lock Bird 1 of 2 legal; Card stats and card text excerpts from the cards list; Archetype usage stats (25 rows)
• Observed: Composition: 14 Pendulum, 10 traps, 9 Links, 11 triple-copy cards; Exact-archetype purity 23.6 percent (13 of 55 by archetype field)
• Inferred: Searcher-group access about 0.99 in opening 5; Pendulum pair about 0.34 in opening 5; Interaction density and semantic negation reads; Ceiling and median from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated meta sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: ceiling, median and floor are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second splits, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated sample usage_statistics.in_this_deck is false for 11 Extra Deck cards that the cards list does run (Junora, Nerva, Jupiter, S:P Little Knight, Artmage Non-Finito, Varudras, Exceed the Pendulum, Beyond the Pendulum, Charmer Quartet, Mercurium); missing_core is therefore unreliable and was not used. Only Mulcharmy Fuwalos is genuinely absent Archetype field differs from card names (Jupredo, Nervedo, Junoldo show Artmage, DoomZ or Elfnote); some archetype_spread values are parse artifacts (for example the Shade entry) Deck title is null No side deck in export
