During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can target 1 monster in your center Main Monster Zone; increase its Level by 3 (until the end of this turn), then immediately after this effect resolves, you can Synchro Summon 1 "Elfnote" Synchro Monster or 1 "Junora the Power Patron of Tuning". If this card is sent to the GY as Synchro Material: You can add 1 "Elfnote" card from your Deck to your hand.
Elfnote Power Patron — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 64 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 64.9 · Deck: 63.7 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor, Material body
Why it scores here
The card's power is its once-per-turn Main Phase quick effect: it raises the Level of a monster in the center Main Monster Zone by 3 and then Synchro Summons an Elfnote Synchro or Junora, which turns one cheap Level 1 body into a multi-boss board (the top combo examples reach power index 100 with 3 boss monsters and net card advantage +4). It also searches an Elfnote from the Deck when sent to the GY as Synchro material, which adds refuel value. The 300 ATK and 200 DEF earn no points, and the Extra Deck restriction costs a modifier, so this is a strong engine inside one archetype rather than a generic card.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Level 1 Tuner run at 2.24 copies average across 400 of 400 decks and is live in opening-hand-style lines, but no hand-activation clause appears in the text and the combo starter/searched counts are all zero (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 78 | Appears in 21 of 21 recorded combos with average power index 64.7 and three examples at power index 100 that convert one Synchro summon into 2 to 3 boss monsters (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 72 | The GY-material clause adds one Deck-to-hand Elfnote search, and the quick effect has no stated cost, so it nets card advantage without a discard or banish (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 12 | The text has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect; combo disruption averages 1 to 2 in the examples (verified). |
| Material Utility | 62 | A clean generic Level 1 Tuner that remains useful as Synchro material, and the GY search still triggers when it is sent as material (verified, with inference that it is generic for Level 1 Synchros only). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | A single once-per-turn quick effect that targets a monster and has no protection clause, so one negation or Level-target response ends the line (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | Level 1 at 2 to 3 copies with no garnet or lock beyond the Extra Deck restriction, and the deck runs it at a stable 2.24 average copies (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 64.9, Deck ≈ 63.7, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- One-card Synchro engine: Level +3 on a center-zone monster leads straight into an Elfnote or Junora Synchro Summon
- Refuel on Synchro material: a Deck-to-hand Elfnote search from the GY
- Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks and 21 of 21 combos, with top-card rank 72 of 691
- Cheap Level 1 Tuner with 2 to 3 copies typical, so it is easy to run
Weaknesses
- Almost no opponent interaction or protection
- Once-per-turn quick effect with a single target, so one response ends the line
- Extra Deck restriction limits non-Synchro Extra Deck lines
- Value is concentrated in the Elfnote ecosystem, so it is a weak standalone card outside that archetype
Counters / choke points
- Negation or response to the Main Phase quick effect once it is activated (generic; no named counter card in the evidence)
Best use
Level +3 Synchro engine and GY-material searcher. Decks: Elfnote (archetype 2370, 2366, 2447), Power Patron (2266, 2393), Mulcharmy (1828), Diabellstar (1565). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Main Phase quick effect: Level +3 on a center-zone monster, then Synchro Summon of an Elfnote Synchro or Junora; GY-as-Synchro-material effect: add one Elfnote from Deck to hand; Once-per-turn limits on each effect; no negation or removal text; Extra Deck Special Summon restriction (Synchro excepted); 400 of 400 decks run it; average 2.24 copies; top partners at 83 to 99 percent
- Observed: Appears in 21 of 21 recorded combos; Average power index 64.7 when present; Three example boards reach power index 100 with 2 to 3 boss monsters and net card advantage +4; Inclusion 100 percent in Fortune Lady and Diabellstar, 36 to 67 percent in Elfnote, Power Patron, Rose Dragon and Junk
- Inferred: Acts as a Starter because the quick effect is the Synchro trigger; Searcher secondary role from the GY-material clause; Hand-activation route is not stated and is treated as unverified; Single-target, no-protection quick effect means low resilience
- Data gaps: All combo role counts (as_starter, as_searched, as_material, as_payoff) are zero and role_in_combo is empty, so the starter role is not confirmed by combo data No banlist token; copies assumed at 3 (unlimited) legal_copies is empty for both TCG and OCG No rulings or hand-activation clause in the evidence The 400-deck sample may be skewed toward one archetype family No dated meta sample, so meta_power is null
