Power Patron Deck #772267 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Power Patron boss monsters (Nerva, Jupiter, Junora, Mediclius, Mekk-Knight-adjacent Link beats) pressured through Power Patron / Artmage / Theorealize search-and-summon chains; Ars Magna and Theorealize recursion lines that restore Medius and Link monsters after interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Medius the Pure, Vidolium, Pendulum Treasure, Mulcharmy Fuwalos) to reach a Power Patron starter and convert into a Link or Fusion boss; Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence protect the first engine turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Theorealize Past Lull and Ars Magna recursion
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY using Theorealized Medius, Ars Magna Philosophorum recursion and Theorealize Overdrive to re-summon a Medius
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is reasonably reachable: the archetype core group gives about 78% odds of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and searchers reach about 94%, so the deck usually finds a starter (Inferred). Interaction is its strongest area, with 10 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards and 33 removal-text cards, giving a fair going-second plan. Its closing power comes from several 3000+ ATK Extra Deck bosses. Against that, only 16% of cards carry the exact Power Patron name, so the list spreads across Artmage, Medius, Ars Magna, Theorealize and Pendulum, which lowers coherence and brick resistance. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies, 16 Extra Deck cards, empty side deck), so the score is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only. Popularity (the Power Patron archetype usage stats) was not counted as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Toolbox. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 = 48.8; modifiers -8 → 40.8; illegal-list cap applied → 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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 searcher and starter density gives reliable engine access
• 10 hand traps plus 15 negation cards make it a strong going-second interaction shell
• Multiple 3000+ ATK Extra Deck bosses provide closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy limit and Extra Deck size both exceeded
• Low archetype purity (16%) spreads the engine across unrelated sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom at 3 copies is the first illegal card to fix
• A single Power Patron Link is needed to reach the boss routes; loss of Medius removes the main restart

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 legal; Extra Deck 16 vs 15 max; Banlist statuses for Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Prohibited Power Patron Portal - Terminus, S:P Little Knight; Card stats and text for Nerva, Jupiter, Rail Cannon, Medius, Vidolium; Side deck is empty
• Inferred: Starter reliability ≈ 0.78–0.94 from hypergeometric odds; Hand-trap access ≈ 0.69 on the going-second 6-card hand; Interaction density from text-role hints; Brick and combo ceiling estimates from text only
• Provisional: Meta power is null because no dated metagame sample is supplied; Tournament reliability is inferred from brick risk and missing data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No side deck; post-side plan cannot be evaluated No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
