Power Patron Deck #770377 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Vidolium 5000 ATK, Jupiter, Nerva, Junora, Varudras) reached through Pendulum-scale and Power Patron searches, backed by Link and Xyz material routes; Link and Xyz pressure from Extra Deck material chains, using searchers and Level 10 Pendulum/Xyz pieces
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Summon a scale 1 and scale 11 pair (Nervedo / Junoldo / Jupredo with Vidolium / Shade), search a Power Patron, and hold Dominus or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C and the Dominus traps to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Power Patron searchers into Pendulum or Extra Deck pressure
• Recovery: Recover through Power Patron searchers (Terminus, Medius, Plane Vidolia, Exceed the Pendulum) and Mulcharmy's draw effect after the hand is spent
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs 0 side cards and Master Duel ranked play is single-game, so no post-side plan is scored

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Power Patron starter: the archetype-core group has about 99.9% at-least-one-in-hand odds (Inferred, proxy on 28 copies), and about 98% of hands contain a searcher. Its consistency is held back by 13 traps and a Pendulum scale mix that can produce dead hands. Conversion is evaluated from card text and the Extra Deck ceiling only, because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling (Level 10 Xyz, Vidolium's 5000 ATK) is not treated as the typical outcome. Interaction is layered (six hand traps, Droll, Maxx C, Dominus traps, and negation text), which supports resilience and going-second play. The score comes from the system (consistency, interaction and closing power working together), not from Power Patron being a popular archetype or from averaging card scores. The deck has no side plan (Master Duel is single-game), which caps the adaptability score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 67, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: Engine spread across sub-archetypes (-2); Compact redundant engine (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural renormalised over 95 weight points with D13 dropped (meta-neutral)

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

• Dense searcher and starter coverage, so the engine is almost always live
• Layered interaction: six hand traps, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C and Dominus traps
• Strong Extra Deck closers with high ATK and multiple Extra routes

Weaknesses

• 13 traps and a Pendulum scale mix create dead-hand risk
• No side deck and single-game format leave no post-side plan
• Extra Deck is full with situational pieces

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale pairing (scale 1 with scale 11) for the opening Pendulum Summon
• Single-copy Artmage and Charmer pieces that are needed for some Extra routes
