Power Patron Deck #772100 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / 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, Junora, Chaos Angel) pressured through Ars Magna and Elfnote continuous support, per the archetype text only; no recorded boards exist; Elfnote Tinia, Elfnote Lucina and Medius the Pure boss monsters after Elfnote and Medius searches
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon an Elfnote or Power Patron starter from hand, use Elfnote Lucina or Medius search effects to reach an Ars Magna or Power Patron follow-up, and hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Solemn for the first opponent response (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Droll) to break the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects (Inferred from text)
• Recovery: Power Patron graveyard recursion via Medius and Theorealized Medius, plus Ars Magna banish-from-hand searches to rebuild after interaction (Inferred from text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists; the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-three.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards, and the score is theoretical only because the list is Illegal in OCG: it runs three Forbidden cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Baronne de Fleur) and so does not receive a normal Final Contextual score. The archetype core (Elfnote, Power Patron, Ars Magna, Mulcharmy) has about a 72 percent chance of at least one piece in the opening five, and a searcher is present in about 92 percent of openings, which supports a moderately accessible engine (Inferred). Interaction density is high, with 9 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards and 28 removal-text cards, but the 7 percent exact-archetype purity and the spread across four sub-archetypes make the engine less coherent than the archetype's core suggests. No recorded boards, guides or tournament data exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and were not separated by observed output. Popularity of the archetype did not earn any points, and the score did not come from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Illegal list, so theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Archetype core is accessible at about 72 percent in the opening five (Inferred)
• Layered hand traps and negation give interaction density (Inferred)
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Link and Fusion routes (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden cards make the list Illegal in OCG (Verified)
• Low exact-archetype purity (7.1 percent) across four sub-archetypes (Verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Zero-level and tech cards raise brick risk (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Extra Deck Synchro cards occupy three slots and would need replacement before the list is playable
• Engine depends on a single Power Patron Link or Ars Magna starter reaching the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, 3 Forbidden cards run; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown; Exact-name archetype purity 7.1 percent
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities; Hand-trap and negation effectiveness from card text; Going-first and going-second plans
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit, no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered
