Elfnote Deck #766907 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 63/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from a centre Main Monster Zone engine: Elfnote summons (Lucina, Tinia, Regina, Power Patron, Fortuna) feed Synchro Extra Deck monsters such as Elfnote June Pride, Junora, and Psychic End Punisher; Hand-trap-supported disruption (10 hand traps) that protects the centre-zone monster and strips the opponent's board before a Synchro follow-up
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a starter from the 13 hand-summonable Elfnote/Power Patron cards (about 88% in a 5-card hand, Inferred), summon to the centre zone, then build a Synchro with Tuners such as Power Patron, Ghost Belle or Shooting Riser
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand (about 92% to contain a starter, Inferred) and hold 1-2 hand traps (about 85% to hold at least one) to answer the opponent's first board, then continue through the centre-zone engine
• Recovery: Re-summon a fallen centre monster from hand or GY via the Elfnote Regina/Tinia/Lucina summon effects and Elfnotes: Welcome Home; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Maxx C provide card draw when the hand is empty
• After siding: Not applicable in Master Duel: the list runs 0 side cards, so there is no sideboard adaptation

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 13 hand-summonable Elfnote and Power Patron starters give roughly an 88% chance of at least one in a 5-card opener and about 92% in a 6-card hand (Inferred, hypergeometric), and the centre-zone engine feeds a Synchro board with several independent summon routes. Interaction is dense, with 10 hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Infinite Impermanence x2, Droll & Lock Bird x2, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle) and an Extra Deck of negate and destroy monsters, which is why the going-second score is high. The main weaknesses are the absence of any recorded boards (no combo ceiling or median can be measured, so those are read from card text only) and a 0-card side deck, which gives no adaptation and is scored conservatively. Structural power was computed with the Combo profile with D13 dropped because no dated meta is supplied, and Meta Power is left null. Archetype popularity and usage statistics confirm the list is a real, accessible build but did not add points; no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo (D13 dropped and re-normalised to 97; no dated meta). Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; Structural = 6322/97 = 65.2 (D13 dropped)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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

• Dense starter density (13 hand-summonable starters) with several independent routes
• 10 hand traps plus Extra Deck negates give strong going-second disruption
• Synchro Extra Deck spans many levels and provides broad end-board interaction
• Verified legal list; copy limits respected

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards: combo ceiling and median cannot be measured
• 0-card side deck; no adaptability (scored conservatively, though side is not a Master Duel concept)
• Non-engine hand traps (Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Maxx C) dilute the Elfnote engine
• Low exact-name purity (36.4%); the engine relies on Power Patron and generic support

Critical choke points

• The centre Main Monster Zone: most Elfnote summons and effects require a monster there, so losing it to a single removal or banish breaks several routes
• Synchro Summon capacity: a single Tuner set-up limits how many Extra Deck monsters can be reached per turn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side within Master Duel size rules; Maxx C Limited 1/1; Droll & Lock Bird Semi-Limited 2/2; Card text and stats for all listed cards; Usage statistics show Elfnote core cards present in the deck
• Inferred: Starter access ~0.88 (5-card) and ~0.92 (6-card); Hand-trap presence ~0.85 in a 6-card hand; Interaction and resilience read from card text; Consistency and going-second scores from text plus probabilities
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame supplied); Side adaptability (not applicable in Master Duel)
• 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) Usage-statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list for several Extra Deck cards (e.g. Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, June Pride, Baronne de Fleur, Crystal Wing are listed in cards but flagged absent); core-match results are unreliable Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty; no post-side evidence
