Eldlich Deck #753774 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord (Fusion, 3800 ATK) and Eldlich-chain Zombie boards, with Gashadokuro and Red-Eyes Dragon Lord as secondary boss threats (Inferred from card text); Number 1: Infection Buzzking and The Zombie Vampire as Xyz finishers (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Zombie starter (Mad Mauler, Uni-Zombie, Glow-Up Bloom, Gozuki) or Eldlich searcher, reach Eldlich the Golden Lord, then Special Summon Eldlich Golden Land monsters through Eldlixir and Golden Land traps (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Infinite Impermanence to protect the starter, then rebuild through the GY with Gozuki, Mezuki and Curse of the Ancient Turtle (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion through Mezuki, Glow-Up Bloom, Necroworld Banshee and Vulcarrion from the GY; Golden Land traps return from the GY via their End Phase banish effects (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists; Limited 1-of answers such as Foolish Burial could be added in the side (Inferred)

Why it scores here

The deck's structural read is moderate: the Zombie-centric engine opens often enough (P of at least one searcher in a 5-card hand is about 0.52, Inferred) but the core Eldlich set is thin, with only 2 of 5 usage-core cards present and a 16% exact-name archetype purity. Its ceiling comes from Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Gashadokuro and Red-Eyes Dragon Lord, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 8 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards and Golden Land Forever! backing the engine. Brick risk is high because 16 traps and several Golden Land cards need an Eldlich on the field before they do anything. The score is capped because the list is Illegal: Called by the Grave is Forbidden in OCG and is run once, so the number is a theoretical structural read only. Popularity and usage stats did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Combo profile: Structural 51.2; no dated meta so 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 48.6 before modifiers; Illegal cap applied, final set to 30 (theoretical, structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.52 · 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

• Eight hand traps and 13 negation-text cards give real interaction density
• Several Extra Deck finishers with a high ceiling (Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Gashadokuro, Number 1)
• Redundant Zombie starters and a deep GY recursion package

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Called by the Grave is Forbidden in OCG and is run once
• Low exact-name archetype purity (16%) and 37 generic cards dilute the engine
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Many Golden Land traps and Eldlixirs that are dead without an Eldlich on field

Critical choke points

• Eldlich the Golden Lord must be on the field or in the GY for the Golden Land traps and Fallen Angel summon to work
• Only 2 copies of the core Eldlich searcher, so the engine depends on 1-2 cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Called by the Grave is Forbidden and run 1 copy, status Illegal; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring Semi-Limited 2 copies, legal; Usage: Delta of Invitation core 73% (in deck 2 copies)
• Observed: No observed combo boards or win-rate data exist for this deck
• Inferred: Searcher opening probability 0.52 and brick rate from card-type composition; Ceiling read from card text (Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Gashadokuro); Interaction density read from hand traps and negation text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rate No side deck registered Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
