Power Patron Deck #766908 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boss pressure (Junora, Psychic End Punisher, Vidolium) reached through hand-summonable Elfnote Level 6 monsters and Elfnote searchers; Synchro board presence backed by 10 hand traps that protect the first board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a 5-card hand holding an Elfnote starter or searcher, search the next Elfnote monster, and hold a hand trap for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a 6-card hand to answer the opponent's first board with a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Impermanence, Droll, Maxx C) and then convert with a hand-summoned Elfnote into a Synchro
• Recovery: Recover through Elfnote GY special summons (Seraphim Strelitzia, Rhapsodia) and searchers, rebuilding from the Deck after a hand trap is spent
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no sideboard in use here (side_count 0 is legal), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Elfnote engine: each 3-copy starter has about a 34% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and 17 searcher-text cards give about a 95% chance of at least one searcher in that hand, so the plan is accessible on most starts. Its strength is in the system rather than in any single card: 10 hand traps and 7 negation-text cards give interaction that can be deployed on both the opponent's turn and the player's own turn, which lifts going-second and resilience scores. The 15-card Synchro Extra Deck, with Junora, Psychic End Punisher, Stardust, Crystal Wing and Baronne, supplies end-board negation, banish and destroy effects together with 3000+ ATK bosses, which earns the interaction and closing scores. The score is held back by missing recorded boards (combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences), by 10 hand traps that can brick a hand that has no board to respond to, and by a build that departs from the Power Patron standard (only 5 exact-name cards, with Nervedo, Nerva and Jupiter absent). Popularity and archetype share did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Archetype deviation / engine coherence (-2); Hand-trap brick risk (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Engine accessibility: searcher density (17) and hand-summonable Elfnote monsters make the starter reliable
• Interaction on both turns: 10 hand traps and 7 negation-text cards, plus Synchro negate/banish effects in the Extra Deck
• Boss density: 3000+ ATK Synchro and Pendulum threats close games

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unverified
• Ten hand traps create brick risk when no board exists to respond to
• Archetype identity is weak (9.1% exact-name purity; Power Patron cores absent)

Critical choke points

• Elfnote starter in hand or a reachable searcher (per-card hit rate about 34%)
• Synchro summon materials on the field, since most boss lines need a Tuner plus non-Tuner

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 legal for master-duel (BanMasterDuel); Maxx C is Limited and runs 1 copy; Droll & Lock Bird is Semi-Limited and runs 2 copies; Hand-trap count 10; searcher text count 17; negation text count 7
• Inferred: Starter and searcher reliability from hypergeometric estimates; Combo ceiling and interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from text and probabilities
• Provisional: Meta power is null; D13 matchup/format fit is provisional; Side plan is not applicable in Master Duel without recorded post-side data
• 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 are absent Usage statistics mark Junora the Power Patron of Tuning as not in this deck (copies_in_deck 0), but the card list runs 1 copy; the usage reference likely does not match this deck's Extra Deck, so the core-card stat is unreliable here Vidolium typical copies 3 vs 1 copy run, and Power Patron core cards (Nervedo, Nerva, Jupiter, Jupredo) are absent; the build may be intentional No win-rate telemetry exists; brick, starter and matchup rates are unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
