Elfnote Deck #765910 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from Extra Deck bosses (Elfnote June Pride, Kewl Tune B2B, Chaofeng, Zalen, Black Rose) after a Lucina/Regina/Tinia opening, with the center-zone attack restriction and negates controlling the board; Kewl Tune Synchro/Tuner chains into Kewl Tune Loudness War or Remix (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Elfnote starter (Lucina, Regina or Tinia) in the center zone, search or summon a second Elfnote or Kewl Tune Tuner, and Synchro into a boss while holding Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler for the opponent's first response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 6 cards with roughly an 85% chance of at least one hand trap (Ash, Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Maxx C); negate or destroy the opponent's first board-forming effect, then rebuild through the Elfnote starters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Elfnote Power Patron, Earthbound Sweeper and Ghost Belle from the GY, and rebuild the center-zone starter with Elfnotes: Welcome Home or Rhapsodia (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck (Side Deck size 0); Master Duel is single-game so no post-side plan applies

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 9 copies of Lucina, Regina, Tinia and Power Patron give about a 74% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 17 searcher-text cards push the chance of a search-capable card in hand to about 95%. Its interaction is dense for a Synchro deck, with 10 hand traps and 9 negation-text cards, and that density drives the going-second score (about 85% to hold at least one hand trap in 6 cards, Inferred). The Extra Deck is complete and includes the Elfnote and Kewl Tune bosses, so the closing score is credited from the deck's bosses rather than from any recorded boards. No combo boards were supplied, so the ceiling and median are inferred from text and capped, and the score is not an average of card scores. Archetype popularity earned no points beyond confirming the list is a real, accessible build.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun. Structural ≈ 67, Going First ≈ 74, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 66. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); archetype_core_deviation (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*67 + 0.20*66 - 3 = 63.8 -> 64

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

• Starter redundancy: three 3-copy or 2-copy Elfnote hand-summon starters
• Dense hand-trap and negate package (10 hand traps, 9 negate-text) that works going second
• Complete Synchro Extra Deck with bosses across levels 4 to 10 and tuner coverage
• Searcher density (17) keeps the opening hand functional

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified
• Two-archetype split (Elfnote plus Kewl Tune) lowers exact-name purity to 23.6%
• Power Patron starter layer thin: no Medius, Junoldo or Junora
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (single-game format)

Critical choke points

• Center Main Monster Zone: most Elfnote effects and the attack restriction need a live center monster
• Semi-Limited Kewl Tune Mix, Reco and Synchro at the copy cap: one lost copy breaks a line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side, no violations; all Limited and Semi-Limited copies at or under legal max; Copy histogram and Extra composition (15 distinct Synchro); Usage stats: Medius, Junoldo, Junora and Fortuna at 0 copies; Guide snippet: Elfnote built on Synchro summoning, center-zone interaction, many hand traps
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, hand-trap and searcher probabilities (recomputed; match evidence); Stun/Combo strategy classification from card text; Going-first and going-second plans and the 74/70 turn-order scores; Ceiling and median from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup/format fit; Post-side plan (no side deck, single-game format)
• 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 (going first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates): those are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage statistics in this deck is false for Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Baronne de Fleur, Crystal Wing, June Pride, Malong, Stardust, Black Rose and Pegasus, but all eight appear in the Extra Deck list; the core-card presence (41.7%) and missing core cards list are unreliable and were not used to penalise the deck title is null; deck name not supplied
