Medius Deck #770459 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Mechanic: Synchro/Link/Fusion/Pendulum
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Power Patron / Elfnote Link and Synchro boards (Mediclius 3000 ATK link, Elfnote June Pride 3100 ATK, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia 3000 DEF) plus Vidolium 5000 ATK pendulum; Medius the Pure into Artmage Diactorus and Theorealize recursion; Number 90 Galaxy-Eyes as a non-engine boss
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Elfnote Regina or Power Patron and Medius the Pure, use Ars Magna and Theorealized Medius searches to set up a Power Patron Link Monster, then protect the center zone with Elfnote Welcome Home and Elfnotes Rhapsodia (structural read, no combo data)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit) to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Medius and Theorealize recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Medius the Pure GY recursion, Theorealize, Griffoh damage prevention, and Mulcharmy draw effects (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: eight copy-limit violations, including four Forbidden cards (Elfnote Tinia, Called by the Grave, F.A. Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon) and four Limited or Semi-Limited cards run above their legal counts, so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read. The structural score (about 52) comes from engine access (roughly 87% chance of a searcher in an opening 5, 25% per copy of the main starters), an interaction suite of about 15 negation effects and about 22 removal effects, and a going-second hand-trap wall, all scored on the system rather than averaged from individual card scores. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype is a multi-branch Medius, Elfnote and Power Patron engine with only 4.2% exact-name purity, and no usage stats or tournament data are present. Floor and median output are unmeasured because there are zero recorded combos, so those scores are provisional and the ceiling is text-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, interaction read used for context modifiers only. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); copy_limit_violations (-4); no_side_deck (0); engine_fragmentation (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 48.6, then modifiers -12 and illegal cap applied; reported 30 as theoretical only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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: about 15 negation and 22 removal text cards, plus 14 hand traps
• High searcher density (18 cards), giving about 0.87 chance of a searcher in an opening 5
• Several high-ceiling Extra Deck threats (Mediclius, Vidolium, Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: eight copy-limit violations including four Forbidden cards
• Engine is fragmented across five sub-archetypes with 4.2% exact purity
• No side deck, so best-of-3 adaptability is zero

Critical choke points

• Medius the Pure is only 2 copies, and Power Patron Link starters rely on Medius or Theorealized Medius access
• Elfnote Tinia and Crystal Wing are Forbidden, so the list cannot be played as-is

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: eight copy-limit violations and four Forbidden cards; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 within format size rules; Card text for the listed interaction and searcher cards
• Inferred: Engine access and searcher probability (hypergeometric, Inferred); Going-second hand-trap wall and brick risk; Structural score from text-only interaction and recursion read
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Floor and median combo output (no recorded boards); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No archetype usage statistics: core and meta-standard comparison unavailable No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side scoring is unavailable
