Power Patron Deck #770423 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck link and synchro boards (Mediclius, Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia) that push pressure once the Power Patron and Elfnote starters are live; Ars Magna and Medius recursion lines that rebuild the board after interruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Elfnote Power Patron, Mulcharmy, or Medius), search an Elfnote or Power Patron piece, and link or synchro into a board; hand traps are held back for the opponent's first big play
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Medius recursion
• Recovery: Ars Magna banish effects and Medius from the GY or banishment to add a new starter to hand and re-establish the Power Patron link board
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter (about 98% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card hand, Inferred from hypergeometric draws over the 29 core copies) and has a broad hand-trap suite (17 hand-trap cards, about 90% chance of at least one going second), which gives it real interaction and resilience. Conversion is only moderate: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences, and the 29 distinct main-deck cards include about 20 low-level or situational pieces that dilute consistency. The score comes from the system: accessible starters, hand-trap coverage, and Extra Deck coverage, minus illegal copy counts and five Forbidden cards. Archetype popularity (Power Patron usage stats) confirms the list is real but earned no points, and card scores were not averaged. The legality failure caps the final score at 30 and makes this a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (about 80/20 by inference). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Copy-limit violations (-4); Empty side deck (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 45.4, with modifiers -12 = 33.4, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only; not a normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Starter access is strong: about 98% chance of at least one archetype-core card in hand
• Broad hand-trap and negation suite gives going-second interaction
• Extra Deck is full with link and synchro boards that can close the game

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden cards and three over-limit cards must be removed
• Main deck clutter from many 0-level and situational cards hurts hand quality
• Zero side deck cards, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Elfnote Lucina, Ash Blossom and Droll and Lock Bird copy limits make the list illegal until corrected
• Extra Deck link and synchro boards depend on a few specific Extra Deck cards that are Forbidden or Limited in this format

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: five Forbidden cards and three over-limit cards are present (legality block); Main Deck is 55 cards, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0 (legality block); Hand-trap, searcher, and negation text tags are present on 17, 19, and 11 cards respectively (composition)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability of ~0.98 and hand-trap coverage of ~0.90 going second (hypergeometric, probabilities block); Midrange primary strategy with Combo secondary, from card text and Extra Deck mix (no combo boards); Consistency and brick claims derived from card text and copy histogram
• Provisional: Meta Power and format 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 match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup, or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side behavior cannot be evaluated
