Power Patron Deck #773567 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 and Link/Xyz boss pressure (Vidolium 5000 ATK, Jupiter 3500 ATK, Nerva 3300 ATK, Gustav Max 3000 ATK) enabled by Power Patron Pendulum starters; Pendulum-zone and Extra Deck value from searchers and Pendulum monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Special Summon a Power Patron starter (Medius, Vidolium, Jupredo, Nervedo) through the searcher text, then convert it into a Level 10 or Link boss from the Extra Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Maxx C) to negate the opponent's summon or search, then pivot into the Power Patron engine
• Recovery: Recover through Medius GY shuffle, Power Patron searchers and Pendulum Treasure to rebuild starters after one interruption
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; post-side adaptability is scored at a low floor

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan because 20 searcher-text cards give an estimated 0.98 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 cards, and 3-copy Power Patron starters each show about 0.34 chance of at least one in hand (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from the Level 10 and Link Extra Deck bosses, which the evidence shows reach 3000 to 5000 ATK, while median output is scored lower because no recorded boards exist and the floor is only estimated from text. Interaction is layered through 7 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards, so the deck can continue after one disruption, although 18% exact-name archetype purity means several off-archetype Artmage, Dominus and DoomZ cards dilute the engine. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction across the whole system, not from Power Patron's popularity (60% core presence in usage statistics confirms the list is real) and not from averaging card scores. Going-second strength rests on the hand-trap density, and the absence of a Side Deck caps post-side adaptability and pulls the Final score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange only; Stun and Toolbox are descriptive secondaries and do not blend. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: off-archetype dilution (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 64.6 gives 0.80*64.6 + 0.20*55 = 62.7, minus 3 modifier = 59.7, rounded to 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Searcher density gives a near-certain starter in the opening hand
• Layered hand traps and negation text give strong going-second interaction
• Extra Deck boss stats are high, and Vidolium reaches 5000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Exact-name archetype purity is 18.2%, so many support cards are off-archetype
• No Side Deck, so post-side adaptability is absent
• Pilotability is demanding because of Pendulum scale and Extra Deck decision points

Critical choke points

• Power Patron starter reliance: Medius, Vidolium and Jupredo carry the engine, so loss of these starters removes the main line
• Pendulum scale placement must be right before the engine can run

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within Master Duel size rules; Maxx C is Limited with 1 legal copy and 1 run, so it is legal; Searcher-text group has 20 cards; Extra Deck boss ATK values from the card table; Usage shows 15 of 25 core cards present (60%)
• Observed: Usage statistics confirm Power Patron core cards are real and accessible; Guide 1493 describes Power Patron as Level 10 and omni-negate heavy
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.98 from the searcher group and ≈ 0.34 per 3-copy starter in hand5; Ceiling and interaction read from card text; Going-second hand-trap estimate ≈ 0.71; Off-archetype dilution modifier (-3)
• Provisional: D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament or dated meta); Meta Power (null); D12 post-side adaptability (no Side Deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second or matchup results Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered, so post-side evaluation is unavailable Deck title is null
