Power Patron Deck #773426 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum Summon Power Patron Level 10/12 monsters and convert them into Extra Deck threats (Junora, Nerva, Jupiter, Varudras) with Vidolium's +5000 ATK boost as the closer; Interaction-backed board control through Dominus and Artmage negation, then Extra Deck closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a scale-1 and a scale-11 Pendulum monster, Pendulum Summon, and use Medius or Pendulum Treasure as the Power Patron body source (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Dominus Impulse and Nervedo to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild the Pendulum pair (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Medius recursion from the GY, Pendulum Treasure and Prohibited Portal searches, and the Extra Deck Power Patron cores (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the deck runs zero side cards, so there is no post-side plan (Provisional)

Why it scores here

Power Patron scores 55 as a final contextual score, with a Structural score of 62 under the Midrange profile, a Tournament Reliability of 50, and no Meta term because no dated metagame sample exists. The deck's strength is its interaction density and its Extra Deck closers (Junora, Nerva, Jupiter, Varudras), not its popularity: the archetype is real (11 of 24 usage-core cards present) but popularity earned no points. The main constraint is the scale-1 plus scale-11 Pendulum pair, which the hypergeometric draw puts at about 0.40 in a going-first opening hand, and that gate caps consistency and the floor. No boards were recorded, so the ceiling (D3) and median (D4) are text-only inferences. Scores come from the system as a whole (consistency, interaction, closers, the absence of a side deck), and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Pendulum scale-pair choke (-3); Off-engine Extra Deck spread (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.4 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Pendulum/Power Patron engine: 15 Pendulum monsters, 9 at scale 1 and 6 at scale 11, with 3-copy density on most engine cards
• 22 searcher-text cards (Medius, Pendulum Treasure, Prohibited Portal) reduce the chance of a dead opening hand
• Interaction density: 4 hand traps (Ash x3, Maxx C) plus 14 negation-text and 30 removal-text cards
• Closing power in the Extra Deck: Junora 3100, Nerva 3300, Jupiter 3500, Varudras 3000, with Vidolium +5000 ATK boost

Weaknesses

• Scale-1 plus scale-11 pair gate: ~0.40 in a going-first opening hand
• Five singleton tech and Limited slots (Maxx C, Crossout Designator, Triple Tactics Talent, Plundered Vidolia, Artmage Impasto) add brick risk
• 7 off-engine Extra Deck cards dilute the Power Patron engine
• No side deck: no post-side adaptation or matchup-specific answers

Critical choke points

• Scale-1 plus scale-11 Pendulum pair in hand or Pendulum Zone (Inferred, ~0.40 going first)
• Medius (3 copies) and Pendulum Treasure as the main Power Patron body sources; a hand without them leans on Extra reveals (Inferred)

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main and 15 Extra, 0 Side; Maxx C Limited 1/1, Crossout Designator Limited 1/1, Super Polymerization Semi-Limited 2/2; Card texts and stats for all 32 distinct cards (ATK, scale, level, link, type); Copy histogram and composition counts (5 singletons, 1 double, 11 triples; 15 Pendulum monsters); Usage stats: 11 of 24 core cards present (45.8%)
• Inferred: P(>=1 Medius in opening 5) = 0.3376; P(>=1 scale-1 and >=1 scale-11 in opening 5) ~0.40, computed from the Main Deck; Interaction density from 14 negation-text and 30 removal-text cards; engine is Midrange and hand-trap-supported; Consistency, brick and pilotability estimates from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data, no meta-share); Post-side plan (no side deck, no performance data)
• 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/starter/OTK rates): those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Archetype field parser artifacts: Shade the Obscure reads '| supports_archetypes Power Patron', Maxx C reads '"C"', Junoldo reads 'Elfnote'; the purity calculation may under-count engine cards Deck title is null; deck name not available from the export
