Elfnote Deck #770353 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Synchro
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from the Extra Deck (Elfnote June Pride, Kewl Tune B2B, Zalen, Baronne de Fleur, Crystal Wing) backed by Elfnote monsters that hold the center Main Monster Zone.; Kewl Tune Loudness War and Kewl Tune Remix as tuner-protecting, recurring pressure once the board is established.
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Elfnote Lucina, Regina or Tinia from hand to the center zone, use their search effects to find Elfnote and Kewl Tune pieces, then reach a Synchro Summon through a Kewl Tune Synchro or Elfnote Power Patron tuner line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summon or effect (about 81% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand), then rebuild through the center monster.
• Recovery: Recover tuners from the GY through Elfnote Power Patron, Kewl Tune Mix and Kewl Tune Reco effects, and protect the center monster with Elfnotes: Welcome Home.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no verified post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a Midrange Synchro system, not as an average of its card scores. It opens reliably: the Elfnote starters (Lucina, Regina, Tinia) are hand-summonable to the center zone, and the searcher density (17 search-text cards, about 95% for at least one in a 5-card hand) keeps the engine live. Its interaction is the strongest part of the list, with 9 hand-trap cards, about 81% odds of at least one going second, and a Extra Deck full of negates and removal (Zalen, Crystal Wing, Baronne de Fleur, Kewl Tune RS). Conversion is plausible but unverified because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are inferred from card text only. Popularity or meta share did not earn points, and there is no side deck, so post-side adaptability is scored low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Hand-summonable Elfnote starters that go to the center zone
• 9 hand traps with about 81% access going second
• Extra Deck interaction (negates, removal) plus high-ATK Synchro bosses
• Searcher density (17) keeps the engine accessible

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Two competing archetypes (exact purity 29.1%)
• No recorded combo boards to verify conversion or median output
• Multi-step Synchro chains and once-per-turn bookkeeping

Critical choke points

• The center Main Monster Zone: Lucina, Regina and Tinia must go there, and Rhapsodia and Welcome Home depend on it
• Single-copy Limited cards (Maxx C, Kewl Tune Cue, Kewl Tune Rotary) cannot be replaced if lost
• Tuner density: Synchro bosses need Tuner material that can be lost to hand traps

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 main, 15 extra, all six restricted cards within legal copies; Composition: 22 distinct main cards, copy histogram 1:10, 2:6, 3:6, 15 Synchro in Extra; Hand-trap role count 9; card text excerpts for Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C
• Inferred: Starter accessibility from hypergeometric odds (0.99 core group, 0.95 searchers); Hand-trap access going second 0.81; Going-first and going-second power estimates from text and interaction density
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit (neutral 50); D4 median output (no boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics.missing_core and core_present_pct are inconsistent with the deck list: Elfnote June Pride, Seraphim Strelitzia, Baronne de Fleur, Crystal Wing, Golden Cloud Beast - Malong and Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon are present in the Extra Deck, yet they are reported as absent; the Extra-Deck usage matching was not trusted and the card list was used instead No side deck registered (side count 0)
