Elfnote Deck #769961 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote Extra Deck boss monsters (Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Elfnote Lucina/Tinia/Fortuna beatsticks) backed by Power Patron and Ars Magna board pressure; the three Forbidden Extra Deck cards are not legal and cannot be counted toward the plan.; Ars Magna / Power Patron Link and Synchro pressure (Mediclius and June Pride are not in the list; Medius and Theorealized Medius provide the Power Patron link fodder).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Elfnote Regina, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, or Ars Magna cards banished from hand), keep Solemn Judgment and Ash Blossom up, and search an Elfnote boss through Elfnote Lucina or Power Patron Junoldo.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre) to break the opponent's first summon sequence, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Elfnote Regina summons.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Medius recursion from the GY, plus Elfnotes: Welcome Home and Elfnotes: Rhapsodia of Madness, to rebuild the board after a clear.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust between games in a best-of-3.

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden Extra Deck cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Baronne de Fleur) are run at one copy each, so the Final Contextual score is capped at 25 and the evaluation is theoretical/structural only. On the structural read, the Elfnote, Ars Magna and Power Patron engine has a high opening access rate (about 0.93 for at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card hand, Inferred) and strong interaction density, with 14 negation-text cards, 25 removal-text cards, and 16 hand traps. The deck's weaknesses are a 55-card main with 56 off-archetype copies (exact-name purity 20%) and no Side Deck, which together lower efficiency and post-side adaptability. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats are only context, and no combo boards or tournament results were supplied, so combo floor and ceiling are text-only inferences. Scores were derived from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural-only. Unconstrained 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 54.8 before modifiers; capped to 25 because the deck runs three Forbidden cards. Meta Power is null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

• High access to the archetype core through Elfnote Regina, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and the Ars Magna starters
• Dense interaction: 16 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Scolding, Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler
• Good recursion and searcher density for grinding through a long set

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden Extra Deck cards
• Low exact-archetype purity (20%) and 16 single-copy Main Deck slots
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Heavy reliance on hand traps that can brick in an unlucky hand

Critical choke points

• The Extra Deck is not legal until the three Forbidden cards are removed
• Elfnote boss summons depend on Elfnote Lucina or Power Patron Junoldo being in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; 3 Forbidden Extra Deck cards at 1 copy each; Copy histogram: 16 singles, 6 doubles, 9 triples; Archetype purity: 14 exact-name copies, 56 off-archetype copies
• Observed: Usage stats: Elfnote core cards show 83% to 91% inclusion across the archetype
• Inferred: P(at least one archetype-core card in 5-card hand) about 0.93; P(at least one hand trap in 6-card hand) about 0.89; Going-second hand-trap coverage and Ars Magna recursion read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link: archetype meta share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick rate) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side evidence exists
