Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Power Patron Link/Synchro/Fusion boards that end in Vidolium the Unstable (5000 ATK) and Power Patron beatdown (Verified card text, Inferred board plan); Zalen, Junora-less Synchro and Link beats with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord and Artmage Diactorus (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Medius or Theorealized starter (about 25% per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand), search through Medius the Pure and Theorealize to reach a Power Patron Link or Synchro board (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment and Solemn Strike through a 6-card hand (about 68% for at least one hand trap) and rebuild via Medius and Theorealized Medius (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Medius the Pure GY effect, Jet Synchron GY effect and Ars Magna Philosophorum GY effects (Verified text, Inferred sequencing)
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher-rich hand, since 22 searcher-text cards give about 93% at least one in a 5-card opener, but the engine itself is thin: each 3-copy starter is only about 25% to appear in the opener and the list carries 7 exact-name Power Patron cards (10% purity) spread across Ars Magna, Medius, Mulcharmy, Artmage, Elfnote, Galaxy-Eyes and Synchron fragments. Interaction is the strongest system trait: 9 hand traps, Solemn Judgment and Strike, Forbidden Crown, Raigeki and Lightning Storm give broad disruption, scored at about 68 (Inferred from text and flags). Closing power comes from Vidolium at 5000 ATK and Synchro/Link threats, but there is no recorded board data, so conversion and floor are text-only inference. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom run 3 copies against a limit of 2) and has no side deck, which caps the score at a theoretical, structural-only reading. Score was not derived by averaging card power, and archetype popularity (usage stats show a larger Power Patron core that this list omits) earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap (theoretical/structural-only): 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 48, then the illegal-cap modifier of -12 gives 36. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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 text (22 cards) finds engine pieces in most openers
• Layered interaction: 9 hand traps, two Solemn cards, Forbidden Crown, Raigeki and Lightning Storm
• High closing ATK from Vidolium (5000) and Synchro/Link threats

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low Power Patron purity (10% exact-name) and a missing Link/Synchro core (Junora, Mediclius, Purification)
• Many single-copy generic slots reduce repeatability

Critical choke points

• Legal copy count of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• Extra Deck Link/Synchro material access
• Going-second hand must contain a hand trap or the first board is unanswered

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (violation); Side deck is empty (0 cards); Card text and stats for all listed cards
• Observed: Archetype usage statistics show the core Power Patron cards Junora, Mediclius and Purification Power Patron are common but absent from this list
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric odds; Ceiling and floor read from card text, with no recorded boards; Interaction density and closing power read from text and stats; Going-first and going-second splits
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
