Elfnote Deck #765930 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from Elfnote and Kewl Tune Synchro monsters (Elfnote June Pride 3100 ATK, Kewl Tune B2B 3200 ATK, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia 3000 ATK), with Elfnote Tinia and Lucina occupying the center Main Monster Zone.; Hand-trap-backed disruption (10 hand traps) that protects the first Synchro Summon and then converts the board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Tuner plus a non-Tuner starter (Elfnote Tinia, Ghost Ogre, or Kewl Tune Synchro), Normal Summon into a center-zone Elfnote, then Synchro Summon a Kewl Tune or Elfnote Extra Deck monster.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, or Effect Veiler for the opponent's first activation or add-to-hand, then rebuild through the Elfnote center-zone line.
• Recovery: Recurse Tuners from the GY through Kewl Tune Synchro, Kewl Tune Mix, or Elfnotes: Welcome Home, and use Kewl Tune RS to negate or recover the Tuner pool.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in this list; Master Duel's single-game format means this is not a limiting factor on the evidence.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a live synchro engine: the archetype-core group gives about a 98 percent chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 16 searcher-text cards give about 94 percent. Its main weakness is brick risk, because 19 of its 40 main-deck cards are Tuners, so hands can be full of Tuners with no non-Tuner partner (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 10 hand traps (about 85 percent to hold one in a going-second 6-card hand), 7 negation-text cards and 15 removal-text cards, which supports the Stun and Tempo read. Closing power comes from Extra Deck Synchro monsters at 3000 ATK or more, but the combo evidence is empty, so floor, median and ceiling are text-based estimates. The score comes from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage across the whole system; Elfnote's popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 67, Going Second ≈ 67, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine conflict (-2); no side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 64.5 with modifiers -3 gives 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Near-certain core-engine access in the opening hand
• Dense hand-trap and negation package (10 hand traps, 7 negation-text cards)
• Redundant Tuner routes through Kewl Tune Synchro, Mix, Reco and Track Maker
• High-ATK Extra Deck Synchro closers (June Pride, B2B, Seraphim Strelitzia)

Weaknesses

• Tuner-heavy main deck (19 of 40) risks Tuner-only hands
• Split between Elfnote and Kewl Tune reduces exact-engine purity to 25.5 percent
• No side deck, so no adaptation path
• Several once-per-turn and center-zone conditions raise pilot error rate

Critical choke points

• The center Main Monster Zone is shared by Elfnote Tinia and Lucina and the Synchro material line; losing it to a single removal or negation breaks several routes
• A going-second opponent who answers the first Synchro Summon before hand traps are spent

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: main 40 (range 40-60), extra 15 (range 0-15), side 0; Copy limits met: Limited cards at 1 copy, Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Ten hand traps and 19 main-deck Tuners from the card list; Exact-name purity 25.5 percent (14 of 55 archetype-relevant copies)
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (archetype core 0.98, searcher 0.94, hand traps going second 0.85); Brick-risk and engine-conflict reads from the Tuner density and dual-archetype split; Combo-floor, median and ceiling read from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no win-rate telemetry)
