Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56.7 · Deck: 60.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
The card's value is the Main Phase Quick Effect: it Special Summons a Level 6-or-lower Elfnote from hand or GY and drops every Level 4+ monster on the field by 3, which is what converts a Synchro into a larger board. It is in all 400 sampled decks at one copy, and the 100% partner overlap confirms a real role, but the combo evidence tags it as a payoff in only 1 of 19 boards and never as a starter, searched, or material piece, so frequency is not treated as strength. Its 3000 DEF and centre-zone ATK earn no points, and the Top-Card rank of 43 is used only to confirm it is actively played.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Synchro-only and not live in the opening hand; it is reached mid-game through a Synchro summon in 400/400 decks, with no starter or searcher routes recorded (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 72 | The summon-plus-level-reduction effect builds a board from one card, and boards containing it average a power index of 71.1 with 100-scoring examples (observed; the combo role fields are empty, so this is inferred from summary stats). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Summoning from the GY is a free refuel but draws nothing and costs no card, so the net advantage is roughly even (inferred from the effect text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | The level reduction is a board-wide tempo effect, not a negate or removal, so opponent interaction is minimal (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | No material usage was recorded (material role 0), and the Level 7 body is a Synchro, so its value as material is limited (observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The effect is once per turn and depends on the card staying on the field, and it can be answered in the Main Phase (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | One copy in essentially every sampled Elfnote list and no garnets, but it is tied to an Elfnote Synchro build (observed in decks; verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 56.7, Deck ≈ 60.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Extra Deck restriction after use (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Present in all 400 sampled decks at one copy, with 100% overlap with Elfnote partners
- Summons a Level 6-or-lower Elfnote from hand or GY and drops Level 4+ monsters, which enables Synchro lines
- Boards containing it average a power index of 71.1 (observed)
Weaknesses
- Synchro-only, so it is not available early
- No starter, searched, or material role recorded; it appears mainly as a payoff or end-board piece (observed)
- Once-per-turn, and the Extra Deck lock after use limits follow-up plays
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Quick Effect in response to activation (inferred from text)
- Board-based interruption that changes the Level 4+ monsters it needs (inferred from text)
Best use
Synchro enabler and board extender in Elfnote builds. Decks: Elfnote, Power Patron, Mulcharmy. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Synchro Monster, Level 7, FIRE Plant, Elfnote archetype, legal in TCG and OCG; Effect text: Main Phase Quick Effect summoning a Level 6-or-lower Elfnote from hand or GY, Level 4+ reduction by 3, Extra Deck restriction, once per turn; Appears in 400/400 decks at 1 copy average; 35 distinct archetypes; Top partners at 100% overlap: Elfnote Power Patron, Elfnote Lucina, Elfnote Tinia, Elfnote Regina
- Observed: Appears in 19/19 combos; payoff role 1 (5.3%); end-board appearances 1 (5.3%); starter role, searched-for role, material role all 0; Average power index when present 71.1; average starter count 0.95; Usage inclusion 66–100% across 8 archetypes at 1 copy typical (Rose Dragon at 2)
- Inferred: Primary role is Extender because the effect Special Summons from hand or GY and enables Synchro lines; Board-wide Level reduction is tempo, not interaction; Negation of the Quick Effect is the main counter route
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No rulings supplied Combo examples have empty combo role, so role shares rely on summary counts legal copies is empty per format Guide snippets are Vietnamese and were read as context only
