Power Patron Deck #765760 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boss monsters (Stardust Dragon, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Psychic End Punisher, Crystal Wing) and high-ATK Elfnote/Power Patron bodies converted through Elfnote Lucina/Tinia/Regina board pressure; Vidolium the Unstable (5000 ATK Pendulum) when it is available as a single copy
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on an Elfnote or Power Patron starter (Elfnote Lucina/Tinia/Power Patron Elfnote, Medius search) to reach a Synchro boss, keeping Ash Blossom and Impermanence for the opponent's first starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C" and Ghost Belle/Ghost Ogre as hand traps to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Elfnote Regina recursion and Medius from the Graveyard
• Recovery: Search through Elfnote Tinia/Lucina and Junoldo draw/search effects, and recover Medius and Regina from the Graveyard to rebuild the Elfnote engine
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan in the export; adaptation is limited to in-game choices

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often: the archetype core group (19 copies) gives roughly a 97% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and the 17 searcher-text cards give roughly 95%, so the engine is accessible on the first turns. Conversion is real but unmeasured: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are inferred from card text and the Synchro boss suite. The 10 hand traps (about 85% chance of at least one in a 6-card going-second hand) and several negate and removal effects give the deck above-average interaction, which is the main reason it earns its middle-of-the-range score. The score does not come from Power Patron being a popular archetype, and it does not come from averaging card scores: only 5 of 55 Main+Extra copies are exact-name Power Patron cards, with 9 of 23 usage-core cards present, so the list is an Elfnote/generic hybrid that dilutes its engine, and the absence of a side deck caps adaptation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: engine conflicts / off-archetype dilution (-2); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*57 + 0.20*56 = 56.8; modifiers -4 = 52.8, rounded to 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine access is high: about 97% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand
• Ten hand traps and negation/removal text provide layered interaction across both turns
• Synchro boss suite (Stardust Dragon, Psychic End Punisher, Crystal Wing, Baronne-style interaction) gives closing power
• Full legality: Maxx "C" at 1/1 Limited and Droll & Lock Bird at 2/2 Semi-Limited are within their caps

Weaknesses

• Only 9 of 23 usage-core cards are present; Junora the Power Patron of Tuning (100% usage) is missing from the Extra Deck
• Exact-name purity of 9.1% with 50 off-archetype copies makes engine coherence weak
• No Side Deck (0 cards), so no adaptation in best-of-three or against a known opponent
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Elfnote Power Patron / Lucina / Tinia as the starter density; if the opening hand has none of the starter group, the Synchro boss does not come online
• Junora absence removes the usage-standard Synchro tuner route and may reduce the number of live Synchro summons

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within Master Duel size rules; Maxx "C" 1/1 Limited; Droll & Lock Bird 2/2 Semi-Limited; Composition: 9.1% exact-name purity, 50 off-archetype copies, 10 hand-trap and 17 searcher-text role tags; Usage: 9 of 23 core cards present; Junora at 100% usage not in deck
• Inferred: Engine accessibility ≈ 0.97 (archetype-core group) and 0.95 (searcher group) from hypergeometric estimates; Going-second hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.85 in hand 6; Interaction and recursion breadth from card text; Structural ≈ 57 and Final ≈ 53 from the Midrange profile
• Provisional: Meta Power is null and matchup/format fit (D13) is a neutral placeholder without a dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, or brick/starter rates No Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
