Power Patron Deck #772907 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-Summon Power Patron / Maliss Link monsters (Mediclius, Maliss Red Ransom, Hearts Crypter) and push damage with Ars Magna ATK and attack-count boosts; Cyberse and Code Talker link pressure (Accesscode Talker, Decode Talker Heatsoul, Allied Code Talker) off Cyberse starters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Cyberse or Maliss starter (Maliss Chessy Cat, Medius the Pure, Wizard @Ignister), search with Medius/Theorealize, and Link Summon toward a 2300-3000 ATK link; hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird) to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild a board from the GY via Medius, Theorealize Overdrive and Maliss in Underground
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw engine (Fuwalos, Purulia, Meowls) when the field is empty, plus Maliss recursion from GY and Medius/Theorealize search for the next starter
• After siding: No side deck is registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its starter access is reasonable but spread across several sub-archetypes (Maliss, Mulcharmy, Medius, Ars Magna) rather than a single core: exact Power Patron purity is only about 3%, and the archetype core has about a 76% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is dense (12 hand traps, 31 removal-text cards, several Trap and Spell answers), which is the deck's strongest trait and the reason it scores well for going second. Its conversion ceiling and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so both are text-only inference. The OCG copy-limit violation on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring makes the list illegal as built, so the final score is a capped, theoretical structural read. Archetype popularity earned no points, since the deck has no tournament or win-rate data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary, disclosed but not blended numerically. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (-8); Banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical structural-only. 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 51, then modifiers -12 and illegal cap gives 39 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.24 (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 removal-text interaction, with three Ash Blossoms as a flexible answer
• Multiple independent starters across Maliss, Mulcharmy, Medius and Ars Magna, so the deck is not reliant on one card
• Strong going-second interaction via hand traps

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom copy-limit violation
• Low exact-archetype purity (about 3%); the engine depends on sub-archetype bridges
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Several Limited cards are single-copy dependencies

Critical choke points

• Link Summon access depends on Cyberse or Maliss starters; a hand without one is largely dead
• Single-copy Limited cards (Droll, Gold Sarcophagus, Terraforming) are not replaceable by copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies, over the OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2 (illegal as built); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0; main within 40-60 and extra within 0-15; Seven Limited and one Semi-Limited restricted card; each within its copy limit except Ash Blossom; Hand-trap, tech, removal-text and searcher-text counts from the evidence pack
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access ≈ 0.76 for the archetype core; Hand-trap density gives ≈ 0.79 hand trap in a going-second hand; Interaction density is high and layered; Going-first and going-second scores from text and probability only
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13) without a dated metagame sample; Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick/starter rates No side deck registered Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
