Junk Deck #754304 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatdown from the Extra Deck (Elfnote and Stardust/Junk-adjacent Synchros, with 3000+ ATK bodies such as Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia and Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon) once the Elfnote/Power Patron board is established; Hand-trap and tech interaction (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence) to strip the opponent's board and keep a Synchro attack live
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with 2 or more starters (Elfnote Power Patron, Mulcharmy, Medius or Junoldo) to reach a Level 6 Elfnote Synchro; the opening-hand pieces are present but the full line is not reliably available without a fair number of starters
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 17 hand-trap and tech cards to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert the surviving board into a Synchro summon the following turn
• Recovery: Rebuild through Jet Synchron and Starjunk Synchron, which search or revive on Synchro material, plus Elfnote Fortuna and Regina search effects
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this export

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its strongest feature is interaction density: 17 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards give it a reliable answer to the first summon or activation, which is why the going-second score is higher than the going-first score. Its engine is more fragile: the core Elfnote and Power Patron starters each appear with about a 25% chance in a 5-card opening hand, and the 16 level-0 spell and trap slots dilute the starter density. Extra Deck coverage is strong, with 15 Synchros and several 3000+ ATK bodies, but the list is Illegal in TCG: five Forbidden cards and three over-limit Limited/Semi-Limited copies mean it cannot receive a normal Final Contextual score. The 30 reflects a structural-only read capped by the legality violations, and it does not reflect popularity (no tournament or meta data is present) or any ceiling-as-average.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (structural weights only; no weights were blended numerically). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 51; banlist modifier -12 gives 39; Illegal cap applied, final = 30 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense interaction: 17 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards and 23 removal-text cards
• Extra Deck coverage with 15 Synchros including several 3000+ ATK bodies
• Strong archetype core group presence (about 96% open at least one core card in a 5-card hand, Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: five Forbidden cards and three over-limit copies
• No side deck registered, so post-side adaptability is unknown
• Starter density is low; 16 Level 0 spell/trap slots dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• The Elfnote Level 6 Synchro line depends on a small number of starters (about 25% per 3-copy starter in hand)
• Forbidden and over-limit copies remove key engine pieces until the list is corrected

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with five Forbidden and three over-limit cards; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes are within TCG limits; Card text and banlist status from the evidence pack
• Inferred: Starter probabilities from the hypergeometric model; Interaction density from text-role hints; Consistency and going-second read
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for this deck No side deck registered, so D12 cannot be measured Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
