Eldlich Deck #409604 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Eldlich the Golden Lord and Golden Land recursion that puts large Zombie monsters onto the field, followed by Zombie Extra Deck beaters; Extra Deck Zombie beaters (Zombie Vampire, Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord, Skeletal Dragon Felgrand) once the field is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on an Eldlich starter, Special Summon a Zombie through the Eldlixir effects, and build toward Eldlich the Golden Lord or a Golden Land monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the Eldlich recursion and the Zombie Special Summons in the Graveyard to rebuild after the opponent's first interruption, with Called by the Grave as the only board-breaker and it is not legal
• Recovery: Gozuki, Mezuki and Zombie-tagged GY revival give repeated Special Summons from the Graveyard after the starter is removed
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

This list cannot receive a normal score because it is illegal in Master Duel: it runs two copies of Called by the Grave, which is Forbidden, and the cap applied here is 30. Read as theory only, the core Eldlich starters and the Golden Land recursion give the deck a reasonable chance of opening a live engine (about 0.78 for at least one archetype-core card in the opening five), and the Graveyard revival cards let it rebuild after one interruption. Scoring the system rather than the cards, the deck loses points for spreading across many sub-archetypes (only about 17% of the main deck uses the exact Eldlich name) and for a long Extra Deck that spans several unrelated Zombie engines. No recorded boards, tournament results or side deck exist, so the conversion, matchup and post-side dimensions rest on structure alone. Popularity of the archetype was not credited, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(47) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-10) = 37; capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Archetype-core density gives about a 78% chance of at least one core card in the opening five
• Graveyard revival (Gozuki, Mezuki, Zombie recursion) gives repeat Special Summons after disruption
• Extra Deck carries high-ATK Zombie beaters

Weaknesses

• Called by the Grave is Forbidden and run at 2 copies, so the list is illegal as built
• Low exact-archetype purity leaves engine cohesion weak
• No side deck and no hand traps leave little answer to a first-turn disruption

Critical choke points

• The Eldlich starter count (about 0.78 for at least one in hand) is the single point of failure for going first
• Called by the Grave is the only dedicated board-breaker and is not legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 44 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within the size rules; Called by the Grave is Forbidden with 2 copies run; Foolish Burial is Limited and run at 1 copy, which is legal; Exact-name archetype purity is 16.9%
• Observed: Archetype-standard core is present with 7 of 25 core cards; No recorded boards exist for this deck
• Inferred: At least one archetype-core card in the opening five is about 0.78; Interaction density is moderate with 29 removal-text cards and no hand traps; Recursion gives independent restart routes
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample exists; Format fit (D13) and side adaptability (D12) are provisional
• Data gaps: No recorded boards, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
