Power Patron Deck #766735 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Nerva the Power Patron of Creation, Jupiter the Power Patron of Destruction, Vidolium-driven 5000 ATK, Artmage Non-Finito / Diactorus) reached through Artmage and Power Patron fusion and link chains; Mulcharmy and Medius card advantage plus Pendulum recursion grinding the opponent down over a long game
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Treasure or Artmage Power Patron to open the Artmage/Medius chain, then Fusion Summon a Power Patron or Artmage boss while holding Ash Blossom and Droll as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird, Kuriboh) to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects and Medius recursion
• Recovery: Medius the Pure from the GY via Theorealize Past Lull or Artmage Vandalism; Mulcharmy draws on summons to refill the hand
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core (20 copies of Power Patron, Artmage, and Mulcharmy-adjacent cards) is reliably present in the opening five, with a hypergeometric estimate of about 0.91 for at least one core card, which earns a moderate engine-accessibility score. Interaction is dense on paper (8 hand traps, 12 negation texts, 25 removal texts), and that supports the interruption-resilience and end-board scores, but the list runs only 12.9 percent exact-name purity, with 61 off-archetype copies spread across Artmage, Mulcharmy, Greed, Kuriboh, Medius, Theorealize, and generic cards, which drags down brick management and main-deck efficiency. No combo boards were recorded, so the conversion and floor scores are text-only inferences and stay near the middle of the scale. The deck has no side deck, which caps side adaptability at the floor, and it runs three Forbidden cards plus three over-limit copies, so it is illegal and the normal final score is capped at 20. Popularity and archetype usage do not earn points, and the score does not come from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (D13 dropped and renormalized, no dated meta sample). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-28); Side deck absent (0). Final formula: Structural-only (illegal list, capped). Normal formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*50 + 0.20*42 = 48.4, then the illegality cap modifier of -28 applies, giving 20. Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Large archetype core (20 copies) gives high opening access to at least one engine piece (Inferred)
• Dense interaction package: 8 hand traps, 12 negation texts, and 25 removal texts (Inferred)
• Redundant searchers (22 searcher texts) and Mulcharmy draw effects support card flow (Inferred)
• Extra Deck has multiple boss routes (Fusion, Synchro, Link, XYZ) for different board states (Verified composition)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and three over-limit cards (Verified)
• Low archetype purity at 12.9%, with 61 off-archetype copies across several sub-archetypes (Verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability (Verified)
• No combo recordings, so conversion and median output cannot be measured (Verified)
• Heavy reliance on hand traps going second, with brick risk from many singletons (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and Droll are both over the copy limit, and removing the extra copies changes hand-trap density (Verified)
• Artmage Power Patron and Medius the Pure are the only Fusion route into the bosses; losing both stalls the Fusion plan (Inferred)
• Forbidden Called by the Grave and Varudras are part of the interaction package, so the list cannot be played as built (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 6 copy-limit and banlist violations; main 55 within 40-60, extra 15 within 0-15; Archetype purity 12.9% with 61 off-archetype copies; Side deck count is 0; Card text excerpts for the listed cards; Usage stats: core cards present 10 of 25 (40%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for the archetype core and searcher groups; Interaction density from text roles; Going-second hand-trap estimate; Pilotability from step count and effect structure
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
