Power Patron Deck #770388 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 and Extra Deck bosses (Vidolium 5000 ATK, Junora 3100 ATK, Nerva 3300 ATK, Jupiter 3500 ATK, Gustav Max 3000 ATK) reached through Power Patron Pendulum and Level 10 summon lines; Link and Xyz board pressure with Gustav Max direct damage, plus Predaplant and Magistus negation boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Medius, Portal or Vidolium, extend into a Level 10 or Extra Deck boss while holding Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with a hand trap (Ash, Impermanence or Maxx C) on the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Medius, Mulcharmy or Nervedo and a Pendulum-summoned Level 10 boss
• Recovery: Medius recursion from the GY, Vodnika from GY or hand on Level 10 deaths, Maxx C card draw, and Power Patron searchers to refill
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel ladder has no side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens: 17 search effects give about a 95% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opener (Inferred, hypergeometric), and the three-copy Medius, Portal, Vidolium and Nervedo lines reach the Pendulum and Level 10 engine often enough to matter. It converts into bosses from the Extra Deck, with 15 of 15 Extra slots filled and 23 of the 24 usage-core Extra and key cards present, but the ceiling is inferred from card text only because no recorded boards exist. Its interaction is the strongest part of the list: 7 hand traps, Dominus Spark and Impulse, and Nervedo and Artmage Impasto negations give layered answers on both turns (Inferred). The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the system, not from Power Patron being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores; archetype popularity and usage stats only confirm the list is real and standard. Archetype purity is low (about 20% exact name), so the engine is shared with tech and staples, which costs points on pilotability and median output, and no side deck or dated meta sample is available.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70/30. Structural ≈ 60.8, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Searcher density (17 searcher-text cards) gives high opener access to the engine
• Layered interaction on both turns: 7 hand traps, Dominus Spark and Impulse, Nervedo and Artmage Impasto
• Extra Deck is fully used and covers most of the usage-core Extra and key cards
• Multiple 3000+ ATK Extra bosses plus Vidolium 5000 ATK give closing power

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity (about 20%) means the engine shares slots with off-plan staples
• No side deck in Master Duel, so no post-side adaptation
• High pilotage load from Pendulum scales, Extra summon chains and hand-trap timing
• Go D/D/D Divine Zero King Rage is a one-of with limited plan fit

Critical choke points

• Opening hand without a searcher or Power Patron starter (about 5% chance in 5 cards) stalls the engine
• A single hand trap answered by a second negation leaves the going-second plan thin

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within size rules; Maxx C runs 1 of its 1 legal copy (Limited); Card text for the 19 distinct main cards and 15 Extra cards is present; Usage core: 23 of 24 core cards present (Droll and Lock Bird absent)
• Inferred: P(>=1 3-copy starter in 5 cards) = 0.338; searcher group 0.949; Hand-trap group P(>=1 in 6 going second) = 0.711; Interaction density from text: about 7 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards; Level 10 and Extra boss ceiling from card text; Engine conflict from archetype_spread
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament link; Guide claim that Rank 10 Power Patron is toxic is an unverified opinion
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling come from text only No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates usage_statistics in_this_deck is false for Extra Deck cards (Nerva, Jupiter, Junora, Non-Finito, Varudras, Exceed, Beyond, Charmer, Mercurium, S:P Little Knight) that do appear in cards[]; missing_core is therefore overstated and the Extra core is treated as present archetype_purity off_archetype_copies (44) plus exact (11) exceeds 40 main slots, so the purity counts overlap archetype_core_group (31 copies, P 0.9998) is a proxy that mixes sub-archetypes and is not used as evidence Deck title is null; only the archetype label identifies it Guide evidence is one Vietnamese snippet with no sections
