Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Vidolium, Nerva, Junora, Mediclius) reached through Power Patron and Artmage link and fusion lines, with Black Chaos and Black Luster Soldier as ritual finishers; Ritual Summon of Magician of Dark Chaos or Black Luster Soldier via Light and Darkness Ritual
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Medius the Pure or Nervedo-style Pendulum starters, search Power Patron or Theorealize pieces with Theorealized Medius and Junoldo, then link or fuse into a Power Patron boss while holding Ash Blossom, Kuriboh and Gallant Bandit as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Kuriboh, Nibiru, Droll and Lock Bird) answer the opponent's first summon, then convert into a Power Patron link or Ritual boss on the following turn
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw cards once the hand is empty; Medius and Theorealize Past Lull recur Power Patron monsters from the GY and Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a structural, theoretical read only, because it runs three Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a semi-limited limit of two, which makes it Illegal and caps the final score low. Its 22-copy archetype core gives a high chance of at least one core card in the opening hand (about 0.91, Inferred), and the hand-trap suite (10 cards, about 0.69 to draw one by going second) gives it real interaction density. Conversion is the weak part: the main deck mixes Power Patron, Artmage, Ars Magna, Medius, Light and Darkness Ritual, Elfnote and DoomZ pieces, with only about 11 percent exact-name archetype purity, so many starters do not feed the same line. No recorded boards exist, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and the score is not an average of card scores. Archetype popularity (the core card inclusion rates) confirms the list is real and accessible, but it did not earn points by itself.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal deck: theoretical/structural-only, capped low. Base 45.8, minus 11 modifiers = 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Extra Deck fully used (15 cards) with multiple link, fusion, xyz and synchro boss routes
• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps plus negation text on several boss and trap cards
• Archetype core (22 copies) is present in most opening hands (about 0.91)
• High closing ATK ceiling in Vidolium, Nerva, Junora and Mediclius

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a limit of 2
• Very low exact-name archetype purity (about 11 percent); several engines do not connect
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptation for best-of-3
• No recorded combo data, so conversion and floor claims are unverified
• Heavy hand-trap and redundant-interaction density raises brick risk when going first

Critical choke points

• Single Ash Blossom copy count is over the legal limit; the list cannot be played in its current form
• Power Patron link line depends on a few Extra Deck link monsters that are not all present (Purification Power Patron and Mediclius are the only Power Patron links in the Extra Deck)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run against Semi-Limited limit of 2 (Illegal); Main 59 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0 is within size rules; Restricted cards Droll and Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, S:P Little Knight and the Terminus Portal are each run at limit 1; Archetype core inclusion rates and copy counts are present in usage_statistics
• Inferred: P(at least one core card in opening hand 5) is about 0.91; Hand-trap draw odds going second are about 0.69; Brick risk is high from mixed-archetype starters; Interaction density is layered from negation and hand-trap text; Power Patron Link line is the main conversion route
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit cannot be scored without a dated meta sample; Tournament reliability is estimated from consistency dimensions only
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences no tournament link: archetype meta share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side adaptability cannot be scored from data
