Power Patron Deck #772165 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Fusion Power Patron closers (Vidolium 5000 ATK, Jupiter, Nerva, Eveningstar, The First Darklord) reached through Power Patron searchers and Theorealize/Medius lines; Darklord Eveningstar / Darklord Morningstar beatdown once a Darklord Fusion or Morningstar is live
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Power Patron searcher (Plundered Power Patron Plane - Vidolia, Vidolium, Theorealized Medius) and convert it into a Link or Fusion Power Patron; hold Ash Blossom and Herald as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Herald of Orange/Green Light, Droll & Lock Bird) to slow the opponent's first turn, then rebuild through searchers and the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Medius the Pure and Theorealize recursion from the GY; Darklord Ixchel and Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, and Herald of Orange Light is run at 3 copies against a Limited limit of 1, so the score is capped and labelled structural-only. Its consistency is moderate: the 13 exact-name Power Patron cards give about a 72% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 28 searcher-text cards give about a 96% chance of at least one search, but only 17.3% of the main deck is exact-name archetype. Interaction is the strongest feature, with 15 negation-text cards and 7 hand traps providing layered answers. Closing power is high, with Vidolium at 5000 ATK and several 3000+ ATK Extra Deck boss monsters. No combo boards or tournament results exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-based inferences, and the score does not come from averaging individual card scores or from Power Patron's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_plan (-4). Final formula: Structural 54 -> 0.80*54 + 0.20*42 = 51.6 (Meta provisional) -> modifiers -12 = 39.6 -> capped to 20 because the deck is Illegal (structural-only, theoretical)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.28 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong Extra Deck closers (Vidolium 5000 ATK, First Darklord 4000, Nerva 3300, Jupiter 3500)
• Layered interaction: 15 negation-text cards, 7 hand traps
• Multiple searchers (28 searcher-text cards) give high odds of finding a starter

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two cards over their copy limits
• Only 17.3% exact-name archetype; the deck runs three related sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck
• No recorded combos or tournament results to validate the lines

Critical choke points

• Single-card dependence on Power Patron Link/Fusion monsters being reachable from the Extra Deck
• Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Herald) used as the only early interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Ash Blossom over copy limit (3 vs 2); Herald of Orange Light over copy limit (3 vs 1); Power Patron exact-name purity 17.3%; Vidolium 5000 ATK and other printed stats
• Inferred: P(>=1 core in 5-card hand) = 0.72; P(>=1 searcher in 5-card hand) = 0.96; Full-brick estimate 0.28; Interaction density from negation/hand-trap text; Dimension scores D1-D14
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit
• 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 absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck registered
