Power Patron Deck #773147 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Link/Fusion/Synchro boss (Mediclius, Junora, Nerva, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord) reached through Power Patron / Artmage / Medius search and summon chains; Artmage Diactorus and Artmage Non-Finito fusion pressure once a Medius or Artmage board exists
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Treasure / Artmage Power Patron / Medius-searching Artmage cards to bring the Medius line live, backed by Mulcharmy draw-on-summon and hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle) for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Kuriboh-Multiply as hand traps against the opponent's starter, then rebuild the board through Artmage search and Mulcharmy draws
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw cards and Theorealize Past Lull / Theorealize Overdrive recover Medius from the GY or banishment, provided a Power Patron or Artmage is still on the field
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG as built: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are each run three times against a limit of two, so the score is a theoretical, structural read only and is capped at 35. Structurally the deck has real consistency: the archetype core (Power Patron, Artmage, Medius, Mulcharmy) gives about 80% odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 23 searcher-text cards plus 11 hand traps give it redundant starts and early interaction. Its end-board is credible, with 16 negation-text cards and Extra Deck bosses such as Mediclius and Junora. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resource recovery on the system, not from Power Patron being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores. It is held back by the empty Side Deck, the absence of any combo or tournament evidence, and the 65 off-name archetype copies, which make engine coherence hard to verify.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo secondary; Midrange weights used as-is for Structural. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (Ash Blossom, Super Polymerization) (-10); Core and evidence gaps (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + Modifiers(-12) = 41; Illegal cap applied, final = 35 (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · 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 about 80% to appear in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• 23 searcher-text cards and 11 hand traps give redundant early starts and interaction (Verified counts, Inferred effect)
• Extra Deck boss coverage across Link, Fusion, Synchro and Xyz (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG as built: two Semi-Limited cards at 3 copies (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• No recorded combos and no tournament data, so the floor and median are unknown (Verified data gap)
• Low exact-name purity (9.7%) makes engine coherence hard to confirm (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Medius the Pure must reach the field or GY for most lines; Theorealize / Artmage search depends on it (Inferred)
• Power Patron or Artmage presence is required for most Theorealize and Medius enablers (Inferred)
• Hand-trap dependence on Ash Blossom, which is over the copy limit as built (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a legal limit of 2; Composition: 57 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Extra Deck is 5 Link, 7 Fusion, 2 Xyz, 1 Synchro; Role-text counts: 11 hand traps, 23 searcher-text, 16 negation-text; Archetype core group of 15 copies
• Inferred: At-least-one-core-card-in-hand estimate ≈ 0.80 (hypergeometric); Route redundancy and recovery via Mulcharmy and Theorealize, from card text; Engine coherence across sub-archetypes, from archetype_spread
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated OCG meta sample supplied
• Data gaps: Illegal copy limits: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed OCG Semi-Limited limits 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 Side Deck, so post-side scoring is unavailable Shade the Obscure has a malformed archetype string ('| supports_archetypes Power Patron'), which may affect archetype purity Deck title is null No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so matchup and turn-order claims are Inferred
