Power Patron Deck #765897 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Tempo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss summons (Junora, Nerva, Jupiter, Varudras, Mercurium) enabled by Power Patron searchers and Pendulum/Link engine pieces; Vidolium 5000 ATK conditional pressure and Link-based piercing/board pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Pendulum or Medius/Nervedo/Vidolium search into a Power Patron Extra Deck route, protected by Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence in hand
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse, Songs of the Dominators) to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild through searchers and Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Medius in GY recursion, Plundered and Prohibited Portal searches, and a second Power Patron line from the Extra Deck
• After siding: No side deck is registered; post-side plan is unavailable as built

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine: the 28-copy archetype core gives near-certain access to a Power Patron starter in the opening hand, and the 22 searcher-text cards add a second layer of redundancy (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Its 8 hand traps and 20 negation-text cards give strong interruption resilience and end-board interaction, especially going second. The Extra Deck is fully populated with high-impact bosses (Junora, Nerva, Jupiter, Varudras, Mercurium) and a Link suite, which supports closing power. Combo ceiling and median output are scored from text only because no recorded boards exist, so those two scores carry wide uncertainty. Popularity of the archetype and the 25 usage-stat rows were not used as power points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The lack of any side deck and the high pilot complexity pull the score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo secondary (profile weights used as-is, not blended). Structural ≈ 67, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Compact hand-trap suite (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*67 + 0.20*62 - 1 ≈ 65

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Near-certain archetype starter access in the opening 5 (Inferred)
• 8 hand traps with strong negation redundancy for both going first and second
• Fully populated Extra Deck with multiple 3000+ ATK bosses and a Link suite
• Only 1 Limited/Semi-Limited restriction breach-free; all restricted cards run at or under legal copies

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are text-inferred only
• Several tech/non-engine slots (Maxx C, Droll, Crossout, Go! D/D/D) dilute consistency
• Pendulum Zone and Link/Extra routing raise pilot complexity

Critical choke points

• Pendulum or searcher starter must resolve before Extra Deck summons; a hand-trapped starter forces a slower second route
• Maxx C and Crossout Designator are single-copy Limited cards; losing either removes one redundancy route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side within Master Duel size rules; Restricted cards at or under legal copy limits (Maxx C 1/1, Crossout Designator 1/1, Droll & Lock Bird 1/2); Composition counts: 8 hand traps, 9 tech, 22 searcher-text, 20 negation-text, 27 removal-text; Extra Deck breakdown: 9 Link, 3 Xyz, 2 Fusion, 1 Synchro
• Observed: 25 usage-statistic rows for the archetype (archetype-level only)
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.999 from archetype-core hypergeometric proxy; Hand-trap and negation redundancy estimate; Going-first and going-second power estimates; Closing power from Extra Deck boss stats
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos supplied; combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent usage_statistics.in_this_deck reports false for Extra Deck cards (Junora, Nerva, Jupiter, S:P Little Knight, Varudras, Mercurium, etc.) even though the cards list places them in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct 52.2 is therefore understated and was not used as evidence Deck title is null Shade the Obscure archetype field contains a stray '| supports_archetypes' token, so archetype purity is approximate No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
