Power Patron Deck #774478 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 26/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Synchro Extra Deck boards (Mediclius, Elfnote June Pride, Zalen, Diabell, Adamancipator) backed by Power Patron and Ars Magna pressure, if the deck were legal; Ars Magna Fusion/Link recursion and Medius-based Special Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Power Patron or Elfnote starter (Elfnote Regina, Elfnote Power Patron, Junoldo) to search and extend into a Link or Synchro board. Probability of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.96 (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 18 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Skull Meister, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit) to disrupt the opponent's first turn, then convert to a board with the Extra Deck. P(at least one hand trap in 6 cards) is about 0.92 (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recover through the searcher text (about 0.89 chance of at least one searcher in 5 cards, Inferred), Medius and Theorealize recursion, and GY Link revival. Recovery depends on the legal copy counts, which are currently over the limit.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play is unsupported as built.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: Elfnote Lucina is run 3 copies against a limit of 1, and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2. Under the rubric, an Illegal deck gets a capped score, so this is a theoretical, structural read only. Consistency is reasonable on paper because the archetype core is dense (26 copies, about 0.96 chance of at least one in an opening hand), and the 18 hand traps give strong going-second disruption. Output is hard to judge because no combos were recorded and no tournament or win-rate data exists, so the median and ceiling scores are text-based inference only. The 28 distinct main-deck cards are split across several related sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 5.6%), which reduces engine coherence. No Side Deck is registered, which caps adaptability. Popularity was not credited, and the score is not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Toolbox (not a formal blend; Midrange weights used as primary). Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-18); No side deck (0); Unrecorded combos (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*46 + 0.20*35 - 18 (illegal cap) ≈ 26; theoretical only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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 archetype core: about 96% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 18 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards (Verified count, Inferred effect)
• Searcher density: 19 searcher-text cards gives about 89% chance of a search in 5 cards (Inferred)
• Extra Deck coverage across Synchro, Link, Xyz and Fusion (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two cards exceed copy limits (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Low exact-name purity (5.6%) and several sub-archetypes make engine coherence unclear (Verified)
• No recorded combos, so median and ceiling output cannot be measured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Legality: the deck cannot be played in TCG until Elfnote Lucina and Ash Blossom are reduced to legal copies
• Individual 3-copy starters have low single-card access (about 0.25 in a 5-card hand), so the engine relies on the archetype core and searchers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Elfnote Lucina 3 vs legal 1; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 vs legal 2; Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts are within the TCG size rules; Archetype purity 5.6%; usage statistics show the Power Patron core cards are present; Side count is 0, which was observed directly
• Inferred: Core consistency: P(at least one archetype-core card in 5) ≈ 0.96; Going-second disruption from 18 hand traps (P ≈ 0.915 in 6); Searcher recovery: P ≈ 0.886 in 5; Structural dimension scores D1–D14 and their weighting; Strategy classification as Midrange with Toolbox secondary
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability
• 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 rates) — those are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered
