Power Patron Deck #770326 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 66/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum and Level 10 Power Patron chains into Extra Deck boss monsters (Vidolium 5000 ATK via its level-12 effect, Jupiter, Nerva, Varudras) with interaction protecting the line; Midrange card advantage: searchers and hand traps trade one-for-one and leave a Power Patron board, with Extra Deck Link/Synchro/Xyz follow-ups
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Pendulum Treasure, Medius the Pure, Plundered Power Patron Plane or Terminus to reach a Power Patron Pendulum pair, then Pendulum Summon and extend into a Level 10 Extra Deck boss, holding Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C and Dominus Impulse to negate the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Pendulum searchers and Extra Deck boss summons
• Recovery: Searchers (21 copies of searcher text), Pendulum Treasure, and Medius the Pure from the GY recover the engine after a single board wipe; Power Patron Shade of the Final Hour can Special Summon a Power Patron from the GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan in this list

Why it scores here

The deck scores as a connected Power Patron system rather than from the individual card scores or the archetype's popularity. Its 29 core-group copies give about a 99.8 percent chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (hypergeometric, Inferred), and 21 searcher-text copies give about 97 percent, so the engine is usually reachable on turns 1 and 2. Seven hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C) and Dominus Impulse give layered interaction, which earns the high end-board interaction and going-second scores. Closing power comes from Level 10 Extra Deck bosses. Median output and side plan carry no observed data: no boards were parsed, and there is no side deck, so those dimensions are held near neutral and labelled Inferred or Provisional. Lower scores come from the 13 Pendulum monsters and sub-archetype spread (exact name purity 22.4 percent), which raise brick risk and pilot difficulty.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.7 Combo + 0.3 Midrange. Structural ≈ 70, Going First ≈ 71, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: engine conflicts / low exact purity (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(70.2) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(62) + ContextModifiers(-3) = 65.6, rounded to 66 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Searcher density (21 copies) and triple-copy Pendulum searchers make the engine reachable in most opening hands
• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, and Dominus Impulse cover the first summon, the first search, and the first activation
• Level 10 Extra Deck bosses (Vidolium, Jupiter, Nerva, Varudras) give a high ceiling with a legal 15-card Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Broad sub-archetype spread lowers exact-name coherence and raises the risk of a brick or conflicting hand
• Pendulum scale and Level 10 chains are hard to pilot without error

Critical choke points

• The Pendulum zone must hold a Power Patron pair to start most lines; losing both scales to a single interruption ends the turn
• Extra Deck boss access depends on specific material sets, so a single hand-trap-proof interruption can stall the board

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal size: 43 Main (range 40-60), 15 Extra (range 0-15), 0 Side; Maxx C is Limited, run at 1 copy (legal copies 1); Card text, ATK/DEF, and copy counts for all 40 distinct entries; Hypergeometric draw values for 3-copy cards: 0.3164 going first, 0.3704 going second
• Inferred: Engine accessibility from the 29-copy core group (0.998) and searcher group (0.973); the core group may include off-archetype cards, so it is an upper bound; Brick risk from Pendulum scales and sub-archetype spread; Interaction density from the regex text hints (negation and removal); Going-first and going-second plans built from card text, not from boards; Guide claim (Vietnamese guide 1493) that Power Patron Level 10 is strong with omni-negate and OTK/FTK options; treated as a human-intent signal only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit; no dated metagame sample or tournament link; D12 side adaptability; no side deck and no post-side data; D4 median output; no parsed boards
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo data has 0 parseable boards, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only usage statistics in this deck flags conflict with the card list: Junora, Nerva, Jupiter, S:P Little Knight, Artmage Non-Finito, Varudras, Exceed the Pendulum, Beyond the Pendulum and Charmer Quartet are listed in the Extra zone but flagged in this deck false, so missing core cards and core-card presence 50 are not used parse artifacts: Shade the Obscure archetype reads '| supports_archetypes Power Patron', and archetype_spread contains a '| supports_archetypes' key, so these archetype labels are not trusted no tournament link, no dated meta sample, no win-rate telemetry, no going-first or going-second split no side deck registered, so D12 has no basis title and deck name are null
