Elfnote Deck #766703 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Synchro/Link/Pendulum mechanic tags
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Link boss from the Extra Deck (Elfnote Tinia / Elfnote June Pride / Mediclius / Vidolium-style Power Patron pressure) backed by Elfnote and Power Patron engine cards; Negate-and-attack pressure through Medius / Ars Magna Link recursion and Junora / Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord board control
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Elfnote Power Patron or Elfnote Regina search, Elfnote Lucina/Fortuna placement, then Synchro or Link into a Power Patron boss while holding Ash Blossom and Droll for disruption (Inferred, text-only)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre) to strip the opponent's first Summon, then rebuild the Elfnote engine through the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Recovery: Elfnote Regina and Elfnote Welcome Home recycle Elfnote monsters from the GY; Medius and Theorealize Past Lull recover Power Patron Link monsters (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards and no post-side plan can be read from the evidence

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: seven copy-limit or banlist violations (including four Forbidden cards, two in the Extra Deck) cap it under the normal Final Contextual formula, so its score is a theoretical, structural-only read. The structural read rests on the Elfnote/Power Patron engine: the 33-copy archetype core has a hypergeometric P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.99, so the engine is usually accessible, though any single starter (Elfnote Power Patron x3) is live in only about 25% of openings (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest area, with 17 hand traps, 13 negation texts and 20 removal texts, which earns credit for going-second board breaking and end-board interaction. Conversion and median output are scored from text only because no recorded boards exist, and the deck has no Side Deck and no tournament or win-rate evidence, so it cannot earn meta or post-side credit. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-2); Illegal list cap (0). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical only. Contextual 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-10) = 46, then capped at 25 for the Illegal status. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Archetype core is almost always accessible in the opening hand (about 99%)
• Heavy interaction density: hand traps, negations and removal for both going first and going second
• Multiple Extra Deck boss options with high ATK and negation effects
• Recursion and search chains recover from interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal under the current banlist: four Forbidden cards and several copy-limit overages
• Single-copy starters (Elfnote Power Patron x3 at about 25% per opening hand) make the first turn fragile
• Hand-trap-heavy main deck leaves dead cards when going first
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo boards to measure conversion or median output

Critical choke points

• Elfnote Power Patron or Elfnote Regina as the sole first-turn starter
• Forbidden Elfnote Tinia and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon as in-format boss options
• Legal Extra Deck synchro access once Forbidden cards are removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with seven violations; Main 56 and Extra 15 within size rules, Side 0; Banlist status of each restricted card; Archetype core inclusion 100% for several cards; Hypergeometric opening-hand probabilities
• Inferred: Starter accessibility and brick estimate from composition; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Combo ceiling and median from text only; Interaction quality from negation and removal texts
• Provisional: Meta Power; Matchup and format fit (D13) with no tournament or dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null and the list has no Side Deck
