Power Patron Deck #770515 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Power Patron Link and Synchro boards (Mediclius, Vidolium, Gallant Bandit, Stardust/Genex beatsticks) reached through the Elfnote and Ars Magna searchers; Medius and Theorealize recursion into Fusion/Synchro/Xyz boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Elfnote/Medius searchers and a Power Patron Link, protected by the Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence stack (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 13 hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's first summon, then convert through the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects and Medius GY recursion refill the hand after a clean interruption (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt in best-of-3 (Verified from the list)

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core is well represented (about 96% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), and 23 searcher-text cards give it reliable access to its engine. Its 13 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give it real interruption resilience and going-second interaction, and Mulcharmy and Medius provide draw and recursion to rebuild after a clean answer. The score is held down by the illegal list: three copies of Elfnote Lucina and three of Ash Blossom exceed their copy limits, and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a cap of 15, so this is a structural read only. There are no recorded combos or tournament results, so the combo floor and matchup scores are Provisional, and the 14 deck dimensions are not averaged from individual card scores. Popularity was not rewarded: archetype purity is only 5.6% exact-name, with the list spread across Elfnote, Ars Magna, Mulcharmy, and Medius sub-archetypes.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-3); illegal_list_cap (-35). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 55.8; modifiers -9 gives 46.8; Illegal-deck cap applied -> 35. Theoretical/structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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 archetype core with about 96% opening-hand access (Inferred)
• 13 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give going-second interaction and resilience
• Mulcharmy draw and Medius recursion help rebuild after interruption
• Strong Extra Deck finishers (Vidolium, Mediclius, Stardust, Galaxy-Eyes)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit violations on Elfnote Lucina and Ash Blossom, Extra Deck of 17 over the cap of 15
• No side deck, so no adaptation for best-of-3
• Low exact-name archetype purity (5.6%) and several sub-archetypes compete for slots
• Heavy reliance on reactive cards and multi-step once-per-turn lines

Critical choke points

• Elfnote and Ars Magna searchers as the single entry into the Link-based plan
• Mediclius/Vidolium as the main closing bosses; little backup if the Extra Deck is interrupted

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 54, Extra 17, Side 0 counts (Extra over the 15-card maximum); Elfnote Lucina 3 copies vs 1 legal; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 legal; Limited and Semi-Limited statuses on the restricted cards; Composition, copy histogram, and archetype purity 5.6%
• Inferred: Opening-hand access probabilities (hypergeometric, main deck only); Hand-trap coverage for going second (≈0.83); Interaction and recovery reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (no dated meta sample); Combo floor and median (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck recorded (Side Deck size 0) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
