Power Patron Deck #766151 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Power Patron and Artmage Extra Deck bosses (Vidolium, Nerva, Jupiter, Varudras, Junora) reached through Fusion/Link/Synchro summons; Artmage and Ars Magna recursion and searches that keep Extra Deck summons available across turns
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with searchers (Artmage Power Patron, Medius the Pure, Artmage Vandalism, Pendulum Treasure) toward a Fusion or Link starter; no verified line because no combos were supplied
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 11 hand traps and Droll & Lock Bird to disrupt the opponent's first summons, then rebuild from searchers; no verified line
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY and banish zone (Medius, Litera, Graflare, Fuwalos) plus Ars Magna searches, Inferred from card text
• After siding: Not supported: the list runs no side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

Scored as a system, not an average of card scores. The list reliably finds a searcher and an archetype core card (P of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.92), and 11 hand traps plus Droll & Lock Bird give it real interaction on both turn orders. The engine is fragmented: exact-name Power Patron purity is 12.9%, with Artmage, Mulcharmy, Pendulum, Ars Magna, Medius, Predaplant, Charmer and Sky Striker all present, and only 9 of 25 archetype-core usage cards are in the list. No combos were supplied, so conversion ceiling and median output are inferred from text only. The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 against a limit of 2) and has no side deck, so the score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-5); Fragmented engine (-4); No side deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 48, then modifiers (-12) = 36, then capped at 35 for Illegal status. Structural-only read; Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• 11 hand traps plus Droll & Lock Bird give interaction on both turn orders
• 21 searcher-text cards support consistent access to a starter
• Layered removal and negation text (24 removal, 15 negation)
• Strong Extra Deck bosses (Vidolium, Nerva, Jupiter, Varudras)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2
• Exact-name purity 12.9%; several sub-archetypes compete for slots
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Only 9 of 25 archetype-core usage cards are present (36%)

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring over the copy limit: must be trimmed to 2 before this list is playable
• Fusion/Link summon requirements for the main Extra Deck bosses

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies vs legal 2 (Illegal); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side is 0; Exact-name purity 12.9%; 9 of 25 archetype-core usage cards present; Copy and card-count arithmetic reconciles with the evidence
• Inferred: Starter accessibility from hypergeometric odds (0.2529 for a 3-copy card in 5 cards); Interaction quality from hand-trap and removal text; Recursion and grind from card text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal, so no normal score applies; this is a structural-only read No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling 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 are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck; post-side performance unknown
