Power Patron Deck #769962 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Synchro boards carried by Power Patron and Elfnote bosses, with Ars Magna recursion to rebuild the field; Going-second hand-trap disruption into a mid-game board, if the forbidden Extra Deck cards are removed
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Elfnote Power Patron, Ars Magna or Theorealize) and search a boss via Medius, Junoldo or Elfnote searchers; set a hand trap for the opponent's first summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2-3 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Nibiru) to break the opponent's summon chain, then rebuild through Ars Magna banish-recursion
• Recovery: Ars Magna banish effects from the hand return Link and Synchro monsters from the GY; Elfnote searchers refill the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so no post-side plan exists in the export

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on its system, not on an average of its cards. Its core engine (14 archetype-core copies, P(at least one in opening 5) of about 0.78, and 23 searcher-text cards with P of about 0.94) makes a starter reasonably accessible, which lifts D1 to 62 (Inferred). Interaction density is high, with 16 hand-trap-tagged cards and P(at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand) of about 0.89, which supports the interaction and going-second dimensions. Recorded combo data is absent, so the floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference and carry low confidence. The score is capped because three Forbidden cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Baronne de Fleur) are run in the Extra Deck, which makes the list illegal in OCG. Popularity was not rewarded: the archetype-core usage stats only confirm the list is real, and the deck has no side deck, which lowers D12 to 15.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo as secondary disclosed, not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers, illegal cap 25); 0.80*54.4 + 0.20*40 - 10 = 41.5, capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (3 Forbidden cards); Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Dense searcher and hand-trap package that keeps a starter reachable and interacts on the opponent's turn
• Ars Magna banish-recursion can rebuild Link and Synchro monsters from the GY after disruption
• Strong going-second interaction: P(at least one hand trap in 6 cards) of about 0.89

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden Extra Deck cards make the list illegal as built
• Zero side deck cards, so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name archetype purity (5.7%) suggests a mixed engine that may be inconsistent
• 16 hand traps risk dead or conflicting hands on going first

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Extra Deck cards must be replaced before the list is playable in OCG
• Starter access depends on the 14 core copies; about 22% of opening 5-card hands have none

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three Forbidden cards in the Extra Deck (copies 1 each, legal 0); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side 0 is within range; Ash Blossom at 2 copies is within its Semi-Limited limit; Limited cards are run at 1 copy
• Observed: Usage stats show archetype-core inclusion of 64.3% present in this list (9 of 14 core cards)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access about 0.78 and hand-trap presence about 0.89, from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction and recursion quality read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null; no side deck list exists
