Medius Deck #773717 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Power Patron / Artmage Link and Fusion boards closed by high-ATK Extra Deck monsters (Vidolium 5000 ATK pendulum, Gustav Rocket 5000 ATK Xyz, Nerva 3300 ATK Fusion); Ars Magna and Theorealize recursion lines feeding Medius the Pure into Artmage Diactorus and Artmage Non-Finito
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Medius the Pure, Pendulum Treasure or Artmage Power Patron, reach an Artmage/Power Patron Link or Fusion board, and protect it with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Solemn Judgment (text-only read, Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird) and Mulcharmy draw effects to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Medius and Theorealize recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Banish Ars Magna cards from hand or GY to re-summon Medius and Power Patron Links, and use Theorealize Past Lull and Theorealized Medius to rebuild from the Deck (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is listed, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence; the deck cannot be evaluated for best-of-3 adaptation

Why it scores here

This list is capped at 30 because it is illegal: three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of two. The structural read is therefore theoretical only. The engine is reasonably accessible, with a searcher-text group that has about a 0.92 chance of at least one hit in a 5-card hand, and it carries real interaction density (7 hand traps, 34 removal-text cards). Its closing power comes from several 3000+ ATK Extra Deck threats. Against that, the 67 off-archetype copies split the list across Artmage, Power Patron, Ars Magna, Mulcharmy, Pendulum and Egyptian God lines, which lowers engine coherence and raises pilot load. The deck has no side deck and no combo boards, and no meta or tournament data is present. The score comes from the system read of consistency, interaction and closers, not from averaging the card scores, and not from the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo secondary not blended numerically (no combo evidence). Structural ≈ 56.4, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12); No side deck (0). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(56.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 54.7, then modifiers (-12) = 42.7, then Illegal cap => 30. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 about a 0.92 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card hand (Inferred from probabilities)
• Layered interaction: 7 hand traps and 34 removal-text cards (Inferred from text and flags)
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers (Vidolium, Gustav Rocket, Nerva, Junora) (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (Verified)
• Fragmented engine: six sub-archetype lines compete for the same 56 slots (Inferred)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 plan (Verified gap)
• Ra Sphere Mode x3 cannot be Special Summoned and is a clunky dead card in most hands (Inferred from card text)

Critical choke points

• Medius the Pure x3 as the primary Power Patron starter (Inferred)
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count, which must be cut to 2 before the list is legal (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 are within size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its Semi-Limited limit (3 run vs 2 legal); Extra Deck contains 7 Link, 5 Fusion, 2 Xyz and 1 Synchro; Vidolium 5000 ATK, Gustav Rocket 5000 ATK, Nerva 3300 ATK, Junora 3100 ATK, Mediclius 3000 ATK
• Inferred: Searcher-based starter reliability (P≈0.92); Hand-trap and removal density leads to layered interaction; Engine fragmentation across Artmage, Power Patron, Ars Magna and Mulcharmy; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: Illegal copy limit: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 vs legal 2 No combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No side deck; post-side plan cannot be assessed No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
