Eldlich Deck #767796 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Control, Combo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Fusion, Xyz, Synchro and Link beaters (Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe, Bystial Dis Pater) enabled by Eldlich and Golden Land starters; Trap-heavy interaction chain (Solemn and Dominus negates, Apophis and Temple of the Kings) that trades cards for tempo
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a monster and an Eldlich or Golden Land starter in 5 cards (about 25% per copy-3 card), then use Eldlich the Golden Lord and the Set traps to reach an Extra Deck boss; monster shortage makes this unreliable
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Infinite Impermanence) and the Solemn/Dominus negates to answer the opponent's first summon, then convert with Extra Deck monsters
• Recovery: Recurse Eldlich and Trap cards from the GY (Eldlich the Golden Lord, Eldlixir, Man with the Mark, Temple of the Kings) and reuse Set traps; limited by only 15 Main Deck monsters
• After siding: No Side Deck (0 cards). No post-side plan exists in this export; all sideboard adaptation is unavailable

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its main limitation is that it reliably opens a live engine only some of the time: 31 of its 55 Main Deck cards are Trap Cards and it runs just 15 monsters, so roughly one in five going-first hands (Inferred, hypergeometric on Main Deck counts) has no monster at all. Its strongest feature is interaction density (about 22 negation and 24 removal text hints across Solemn, Dominus, Golden Land Forever and the hand traps), which earns the highest structural dimension (D7, Inferred). Combo conversion and floor are not measured because the export contains no parseable boards, so those dimensions rest on text reading only. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points; the usage stats are incomplete for this list. Two Forbidden cards (Varudras and Baronne de Fleur) make the deck illegal, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + ContextModifiers(-14) = 30, then capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical and structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.19 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: negates and removal across Solemn, Dominus, Golden Land Forever, Evenly Matched and Infinite Impermanence
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Liebe, Mad Golden Lord, Gustav Max, Bystial Dis Pater) with a four-type Extra Deck
• Recursion through Eldlich and Trap cards in the GY

Weaknesses

• Only 15 Main Deck monsters in 55 cards, so about one in five going-first hands has no monster
• Two Forbidden cards make the list illegal
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Sub-archetype spread (15 archetypes, 8.6% exact-name purity) reduces engine coherence

Critical choke points

• Monster count: the engine and most interaction need a monster to be live
• Forbidden cards occupying Extra Deck slots, which breaks the list until removed
• Set-timed traps that cannot be used if the turn is spent on a Normal Summon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: two Forbidden cards are in the Main Deck and Extra Deck; the Main Deck has 55 cards and the Extra Deck 15 (within OCG size rules); Composition: 15 monsters, 31 traps, 9 spells in the Main Deck; Side Deck is 0 cards; Card text and copy counts as listed in the evidence pack
• Inferred: Roughly 19% of going-first 5-card hands have no monster (hypergeometric); Interaction density is high based on negation and removal text hints; Engine consistency is low given 6 exact Eldlich copies and a 0.25 core-card hand probability; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate or going-first/second telemetry exists in YGOVN Usage stats are inconsistent: Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord (2 copies) and Flying Mary (1 copy) are in the Extra Deck but marked in_this_deck:false, so core coverage (33%) may be understated No guides attached to the archetype Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
