Power Patron Deck #773307 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote / Power Patron Synchro and Link board built from the Extra Deck (Vidolium 5000 ATK, Mediclius, Elfnote June Pride, Stardust) once the Elfnote and Ars Magna engine is live; Ars Magna / Medius / Theorealize recursion and Galaxy-Eyes or Hope Harbinger Xyz boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher or Elfnote starter, use Elfnote Power Patron or Elfnote Regina to search and reach a Synchro or Link, and hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre) on the opponent's board-building turn, then convert with Extra Deck summons. The deck has no side deck to adjust this
• Recovery: Pot of Sloth, Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw and the Theorealize graveyard recursion (Theorealized Medius, Theorealize Past Lull) rebuild a hand after a board is cleared
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. A sided list would need a dedicated side (up to 15 cards) before this could be scored

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its searcher density (20 searcher-text cards, about 90% to find one in a 5-card opening hand) and the 13-copy Elfnote core (about 75% to open at least one) give it a reasonably reliable T1 starter, which is what drives D1 and D6. Interaction is the strongest part: 18 hand traps, 12 negation texts and 19 removal texts give D7 about 74 and support going-second play in D8. The Extra Deck (8 Synchro, 4 Link, 2 Xyz, 1 Fusion) gives a credible but unverified conversion path into 5000-ATK and 3000-ATK boards, and that conversion is the source of the D9 score. The combo floor and median (D3/D4) cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores are Inferred from text alone. The list is Illegal (Elfnote Lucina 3 of 1, Ash Blossom 3 of 2), has no side deck, and has no meta or tournament context, so the final score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only. Popularity of the Power Patron archetype was not credited, since high archetype usage only confirms the list is real and accessible.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 100% Midrange profile; Stun noted as secondary strategy only. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-10); No side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*56.4 + 0.20*45 = 54.1; modifiers -12 give 42; Illegal-deck cap applied, final = 40 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.75 · 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 (20 searcher-text cards) gives a reliable T1 opening
• Broad layered interaction: 18 hand traps, 12 negation texts and 19 removal texts
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Link, Xyz and Fusion, so several boards are reachable from one starter set
• Recursion through Theorealize and Mulcharmy supports a late-game grind

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Elfnote Lucina and Ash Blossom are over their copy limits
• No side deck, so there is no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low exact-name archetype purity (7%); the engine is split across three sub-archetypes
• High hand-trap count can produce dead or clogged opening hands, and no brick data exists

Critical choke points

• Legality: the deck cannot be played as built until Elfnote Lucina and Ash Blossom are reduced to legal copy counts
• Elfnote core (13 copies) as the T1 starter; the 25% of hands with no core starter depend on searchers and Ars Magna
• Extra Deck summon access: the Synchro and Link boards need specific Main Deck starters on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG: Elfnote Lucina 3 of 1 and Ash Blossom 3 of 2 exceed copy limits; Main 56 and Extra 15 are inside the size rules; Side is 0 of 15 allowed; Banlist statuses: Elfnote Lucina, S:P Little Knight, T.G. Hyper Librarian and Prohibited Power Patron Portal are Limited; Ash Blossom is Semi-Limited; Droll & Lock Bird is Limited; Archetype purity 7% exact name; spread across Elfnote 17, Ars Magna 5, Power Patron 5; Searcher-text 20, hand-trap 18, negation 12, removal 19 counts from the curated tags
• Observed: Usage statistics: Power Patron archetype core cards such as Prohibited Power Patron Portal (88%) and Mulcharmy Fuwalos (84%) are in the list, so the list is an accessible build
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Going-second interaction value from the hand-trap group probability; Interaction breadth and durability from the negation and removal text; Pilotability from combo step count and hand-trap timing decisions
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample supplied); Combo median and floor (no recorded boards; text-only estimate)
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null in the export
