Eldlich Deck #445323 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Eldlich the Golden Lord (2500 ATK) plus Extra Deck link/fusion beaters, if the Eldlich engine goes live; Fossil Warrior Skull Knight piercing and double-attack pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Eldlich the Golden Lord, Cursed Eldland or an Eldlixir to search and Special Summon into the Golden Land/Eldlich engine, then use Conquistador or Huaquero to remove a blocker (theoretical; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand trap and floodgate interaction (Skill Drain, Rivalry of Warlords, Gozen Match) would have to slow the opponent, but several of those cards also hit the own Eldlich monsters, so no clean second-player plan is evidenced
• Recovery: Eldlixir and Cursed Eldland recursion from the GY and Golden Land Forever! as a negate; limited by the Limited-card cap and the Forbidden cards, which cannot be legally run
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan at all

Why it scores here

This score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging its cards, and the list is illegal, so the score is capped and reads as theoretical, structural-only. The Eldlich core (3 Eldlich the Golden Lord, 4 Eldlixirs, 2 Cursed Eldland, Golden Land traps) gives a real engine: about 92 percent of hands open at least one archetype-core card (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Conversion is weak because 31 of 40 main cards are traps, 22 are tagged tech and 13 are floodgates that also hit the deck's own Zombie monsters, so the engine and interaction work against each other. The deck has no combo boards recorded, so ceiling and median output rest on text reading only, and the Forbidden cards (Imperial Order, PSY-Framelord Omega, Summon Limit, Vanity's Emptiness) plus six over-limit Limited cards make the list unplayable as built. Popularity and the archetype's usage data confirm the Eldlich core is real, but they did not earn points, and Meta Power is null because there is no dated meta sample.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox weights not applied; structural only, since the deck is illegal. Structural ≈ 38, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 33, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: Illegal capped: 0.80*Structural(38) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) - 6 banlist exposure = 30; Meta provisional, no normal final score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Real Eldlich core (15 copies) gives high access to the archetype's engine cards
• Extra Deck has several usable Link, Fusion and Synchro threats (14 of 15 usable)
• Several negates (Solemn, Golden Land Forever!) and floodgates give interaction breadth

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 4 Forbidden copies and 6 over-limit Limited copies
• Floodgates (Skill Drain, Gozen Match, Rivalry, Summon Limit) hit the deck's own Eldlich monsters
• Only 9 exact Eldlich cards; 46 off-archetype copies weaken the engine
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo boards recorded

Critical choke points

• Eldlich the Golden Lord is the only real starter; losing it to interaction collapses most lines
• Forbidden Summon Limit and Imperial Order cannot be run legally at all

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes are within the Master Duel size rules; Forbidden: Imperial Order, PSY-Framelord Omega, Summon Limit (2), Vanity's Emptiness; Limited copy violations: Solemn Strike, Solemn Judgment, Pot of Extravagance, Gozen Match, Skill Drain, Rivalry of Warlords (3 each, 1 legal); Eldlich the Golden Lord stats 2500/2800 and Fossil Warrior Skull Knight 2400/1100; Extra Deck breakdown: 5 Link, 6 Fusion, 3 Synchro, 1 Xyz
• Inferred: At least one archetype-core card in opening 5 ≈ 0.92; Brick rate and floodgate self-conflict estimates; Structural weights and dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample supplied; Matchup fit (D13) is provisional
• 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 are absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck; post-side adaptability cannot be evaluated
