Power Patron Deck #774563 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Power Patron Link and Fusion/Xyz boss monsters (Vidolium 5000 ATK, Jupiter 3500 ATK, Nerva 3300 ATK) reached through the Power Patron and DoomZ search and summon chains; DoomZ Xyz boards with equip-based recursion and Ars Magna follow-up
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Power Patron or DoomZ starter, search a second piece with Jupredo, Junoldo, DoomZ Change or Medius the Pure, then extend into an Extra Deck boss while holding Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Infinite Impermanence) answer the opponent's first summon, then Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning protects the follow-up engine
• Recovery: Recover through DoomZ Raiders and Theorealize Past Lull recursion, Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw, and the Extra Deck Xyz and Link monsters that reuse banished or GY material
• After siding: No Side Deck is present, so there is no post-side plan; the best-of-3 answer is to build one before playing a sanctioned event

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Power Patron or DoomZ starter in roughly 86% of opening 5-card hands (archetype-core group, hypergeometric, Inferred), and the search and summon chains give it a plausible route to a Link or Xyz boss. Its interaction suite (10 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, two Solemn cards, and three Ash Blossoms) gives it real end-board resilience, which earns the D7 and D8 scores. Recorded combo data is absent, so the ceiling and median scores (D3 and D4) are text-only inference and carry wide uncertainty. The deck is an illegal build (Ash Blossom run 3 times against a limit of 2) with no Side Deck and only 11% exact-name Power Patron purity across several sub-archetypes, so its consistency and post-side scores are reduced. Popularity and archetype share were not used to earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51.2, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-8); No Side Deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*51.2 + 0.20*40 = 48.9, then context modifiers -12 = 37; Illegal status, so the result is structural-only and theoretical

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.14 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype-core access is high (about 86% in opening 5, Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, two Solemn cards
• Strong closers in the Extra Deck (Vidolium, Jupiter, Nerva)
• Multiple recursion routes through DoomZ Raiders, Theorealize Past Lull and Mulcharmy draw

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 copies, limit 2)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low exact-name purity (11.4%); the deck spreads across several sub-archetypes
• No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are inferred from text only

Critical choke points

• A single Power Patron starter in hand, with no second independent route if it is hand-trapped
• Heavy reliance on Limited and Semi-Limited single copies (Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Prohibited Power Patron Portal, Bystial Magnamhut, S:P Little Knight)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom run 3 copies against a limit of 2; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Side is 0; Banlist statuses for the Limited and Semi-Limited cards match what is run; Exact-name purity 11.4%; 8 exact-name Power Patron copies
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.86 from the archetype-core hypergeometric estimate; Hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.72 on the going-second side; Interaction quality read from card text; Ceiling reads for Vidolium, Jupiter and Nerva
• Provisional: Meta Power is null, since no dated metagame sample exists; D13 format fit, since no tournament share is available
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null in the source record
