Power Patron Deck #769739 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link cascade into 2800-3800 ATK boss monsters (Nerva, Hyperinvoked Aeon, Diactorus, Pyro Phoenix, Mediclius) backed by Artmage and Ars Magna recursion; Recurring Medius and Artmage searches to keep a Link/Fusion board advancing through disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Artmage or Medius starters, search via Medius, Artmage Vandalism or Ars Magna, then Fusion or Link Summon into a boss while holding Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Ghost Ogre for a Quick Effect response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand trap (Ash, Droll, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre) for the opponent's first search or Normal Summon, then rebuild through Medius and Theorealized Medius from the GY or banish zone
• Recovery: Recycle Artmage and Ars Magna monsters from the GY and banishment with Artmage Litera, Theorealized Medius and the Ars Magna banish effects, then re-link Power Patron monsters
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot change its configuration between games

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: 19 searcher-text copies give about an 89% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the 11-copy Artmage core gives about 68% to open at least one core card (Inferred). Its main strength is interaction on the system: 11 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards and 25 removal-text cards mean most turns have a response, which carries the Stun and Midrange profile (Inferred from text). It converts into 2800 to 3800 ATK Fusion and Link bosses from 15 Extra Deck slots, and its recursion from the GY and banishment keeps it going after a single disruption. Costs are real: 11 hand traps are dead without a board, there is no side deck and so no post-side plan, and three sub-archetypes (Artmage, Ars Magna, Mulcharmy) compete for the same slots. No combo boards, tournament results or guides were supplied, so the floor and median are inferred from text and the score was not averaged from card scores or lifted by popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61.8, Going First ≈ 67, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: engine_conflicts (-2); banlist_exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(meta-neutral, D13 dropped and renormalised) + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers (-3) = 56.4, rounded to 56 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Interaction density: 11 hand traps, 18 negation-text and 25 removal-text cards across the list
• Searcher density: 19 searcher-text copies make the opening hand reliable
• Extra Deck coverage: 15 slots with fusion and link bosses at 2800 to 3800 ATK
• Recursion from GY and banishment keeps the engine alive after disruption

Weaknesses

• No side deck: zero post-side adaptability
• Three sub-archetypes compete for slots, reducing engine coherence
• 11 hand traps can be dead without a board
• No recorded combo boards, so the floor and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Medius the Pure (3 copies) is the main starter and search route; disrupting it removes most lines
• Fusion and Link summons depend on the Extra Deck being intact and on a material board being present

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 56 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side within OCG size rules; Restricted cards Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx C (Limited, 1 copy) and Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization (Semi-Limited, 2 copies) are within legal copies; Card text for all 29 Main and 12 Extra distinct cards; Archetype usage stats: Mulcharmy Fuwalos at 82.8% inclusion; core cards present 6 of 14
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (hypergeometric, from the resolved list); Interaction density read from card text and role tags; Recursion and Extra Deck coverage read from text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides attached for the archetype Side deck is empty, so no post-side evidence exists
