Elfnote Deck #734489 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 71/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon a high‑ATK Synchro or Fusion monster (e.g., Power Patron, Chaos Angel, Titaniklad) protected by center‑zone lock; Control the board with hand traps and disruption while building a protected center monster
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll) and a searcher (Elfnote Lucina/Tinia) to fetch an Elfnote monster, place it in the center zone, activate Rhapsodia of Madness for protection, then develop the engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six‑card hand to drop multiple hand traps, disrupt opponent's plays, then summon a big Synchro/Fusion monster from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recursion via Medius the Pure, Theorealize, and draw engines (Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Maxx C, T.G. Hyper Librarian) to regain resources after disruption
• After siding: No side deck; rely on flexible Extra Deck choices and the core engine to adapt

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine thanks to a near‑certain core starter in the opening hand and very low brick probability. Hand traps and tech cards give multiple routes to survive disruption, while draw engines and recursion keep resources flowing. High‑ATK Synchro/Fusion monsters provide strong closing power, and layered negation effects protect the board. Popularity or meta‑share does not contribute to the score; the evaluation is based on system‑wide consistency, interaction, and flexibility.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 71, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 70. Modifiers: Missing core cards (-2); No side deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Very high engine accessibility (≈99.5% starter)
• Low brick rate (<0.5%)
• Rich hand‑trap and disruption suite
• Multiple high‑ATK boss monsters
• Strong draw and recursion engines

Weaknesses

• Low side‑deck adaptability
• Missing some core Elfnote monsters reduces synergy
• Deck spread across many archetypes lowers compactness
• Complexity from many once‑per‑turn effects

Critical choke points

• Absence of Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia (key synchro engine)
• Reliance on center‑zone monster; if removed, many effects lose value
• No side deck to address specific matchups

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Legal; Main deck count 40, extra deck count 15, side deck count 0
• Inferred: Core starter probability 0.9954; Full‑brick probability 0.0046; Hand‑trap group probability 0.7639 for going‑second; Presence of high‑ATK extra‑deck monsters; Archetype purity 25.5%; Draw engines (Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Maxx C, T.G. Hyper Librarian); Multiple negation bosses; Side‑deck absence reduces adaptability
• Provisional: Matchup coverage and meta fit lack tournament data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
