Power Patron Deck #770075 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Chaos Angel, Red Nova Dragon - Burning Soul, The Crimson King, Mediclius) after a Ritual or Mulcharmy-driven board is built; Link-based pressure through Mediclius and Dark Paladin style board conversion, if the Dark Magician dependency is met
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Mulcharmy and Ritual starters with hand traps held up; use Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C style interaction while a single Ritual or Mulcharmy line is established
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present hand traps (about 76 percent to hold at least one) and Solemn or Dominus interaction on the opponent's summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws
• Recovery: Searchers (17 copies, about 86 percent at least one in a five-card hand) and recursion from Mind Shuffle, Skull Archfiend and Soul Resonator rebuild the hand
• After siding: Not defined: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal OCG list: Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are Forbidden and run one copy each, so under the rubric it receives no normal Final Contextual score and its 25 is a capped theoretical, structural-only read. The structure itself is a Midrange-to-Toolbox system built from three partly conflicting engines: a Light and Darkness Ritual line (18 cards, Black Chaos and Magician of Dark Chaos), a Mulcharmy draw engine (6 cards), and a heavy hand-trap and Solemn interaction suite (11 hand traps, about 76 percent to hold one when going second). Interaction density and closing bosses (3000 to 3500 ATK Extra Deck monsters) earn the highest dimension scores, while the Power Patron archetype itself contributes little (exact-name purity 1.4 percent) and no recorded boards, guides, tournament share or post-side plan exist to lift the median. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from Power Patron's popularity and not from averaging individual card scores. Dark Paladin, Dark Magician of Destruction and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon need Dark Magician, which the list does not run, so those Extra Deck slots are partly dead.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); engine_conflicts (-4); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 37.8, then capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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 interaction suite: Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Dominus Impulse, Ash Blossom x2, three Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Maxx C
• Strong searcher and recursion density (17 searcher-text cards) keeps resources available across turns
• High-ceiling Extra Deck closers (Chaos Angel, Red Nova Dragon, The Crimson King, Mediclius)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards run over the copy limit
• Three engines (Ritual, Mulcharmy, Dark Magician-dependent Extra Deck) conflict in the same hand
• Dark Paladin, Dark Magician of Destruction and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are dead without Dark Magician in the Main Deck
• Zero Side Deck cards: no post-side plan
• Only 4 of 14 archetype core cards present, so the list deviates heavily from the standard build

Critical choke points

• Light and Darkness Ritual (2 copies) is the only Ritual bootstrap for the Black Chaos line
• Hand traps must be held up; a hand without one is exposed going second
• Mulcharmy draws depend on controlling no cards, which conflicts with the Ritual and Solemn lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are Forbidden and each run 1 copy over a limit of 0; Main 55 (range 40-60), Extra 15 (range 0-15), Side 0; 17 searcher-text cards, 11 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards; Exact-name archetype purity is 1.4 percent (1 of 70 Main and Extra copies); Usage-stat core is 4 of 14 present; Mediclius is in the card list but flagged in_this_deck false
• Inferred: Consistency estimates (P of starters, hand-trap holds, brick rate) are hypergeometric; Ritual, Mulcharmy and Dark Magician engine conflicts; Dark Magician dependency of Dark Paladin, Dark Magician of Destruction and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13); Median output (D4) with no recorded boards
• 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: going-first and going-second splits, matchup results and brick rate are inferred or unknown Meta Power is provisional: no dated metagame sample Usage-statistics inconsistency: Mediclius the Extraordinary Power Patron appears in the Extra Deck card list but is flagged in_this_deck false in usage_statistics No Side Deck cards: post-side evaluation is structural only No guides attached
