Power Patron Deck #772001 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Large Power Patron / Artmage Link and Fusion boards (Jupiter, Gustav Rocket, Vidolium, Nerva) converting through hand-trap-protected starters (Inferred); Xyz/Link beatdown via Mediclius, Purification and Junora once the Power Patron engine is online (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Treasure or Artmage Power Patron to search Medius/Artmage pieces, then Fusion or Link into Power Patron boards; hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird for the first opposing response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Ash Blossom as hand traps to stop the opponent's first board, then Artmage Finmel or Litera to rebuild the Extra Deck threat (Inferred)
• Recovery: Artmage Litera and Theorealize Past Lull recur Artmage and Medius from GY/banish to refill; Artmage Academic Acropolis supplies extra Medius Normal Summons (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export lists zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (verified)

Why it scores here

The score is built from the deck as a system, not from its cards and not from the archetype's popularity. Starter access is decent: the searcher text group gives about 0.97 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the Power Patron/Artmage search chain is present. Interaction is the strongest part: 7 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give a dense response layer, which supports the Stun-like going-second plan. Conversion is only textually supported because no recorded boards exist, so ceiling and median are both Inferred, and the median is scored lower than the ceiling. Structure and provenance cap the result: only 8 of 64 cards carry the exact Power Patron name, 46 copies are off-archetype, and the list runs Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a 2-copy OCG limit, which makes it Illegal and caps the final score low. No win rates, tournament data or side plan exist, so Meta and side-deck scores are provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); engine_conflicts (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-13), capped low because the deck is Illegal; result 51.5 - 13 = 38.5, rounded to 39

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 hand-trap and negation layer (7 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards)
• Searcher density gives about 0.97 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Several 5000 ATK closers in the Extra Deck (Gustav Rocket, Vidolium)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies exceeds the OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Low archetype purity (14.8%); 46 of 54 archetype copies are off-archetype
• No Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards; combo ceiling and median are text-only inference

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom over the copy limit must be fixed before any normal score applies
• Single searcher lines through Artmage Power Patron and Pendulum Treasure

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 14, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is 3 copies vs a Semi-Limited limit of 2 (violation); Exact-name purity 14.8%; 46 off-archetype copies; Card stats for Gustav Rocket (5000 ATK), Vidolium (5000 ATK), Jupiter (3500 ATK)
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.97; Hand-trap and negation density supports going-second interaction; Combo ceiling and median from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13); Side-deck plan (D12) since no side cards exist
• 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 exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null; name taken as null
