Elfnote Deck #770356 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from Elfnote Lucina/Tinia/Regina chains into Elfnote June Pride or Seraphim Strelitzia, which lock attacks while they sit in the center Main Monster Zone.; Medius the Pure and Power Patron recursion into Elfnote field-control and Synchro boards; Chaos Angel and Stardust as off-archetype closers.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a center-zone starter (Power Patron, Lucina, Regina, Tinia, Fortuna) plus a searcher, then Synchro into an Elfnote boss and protect the center MMZ with Rhapsodia or Welcome Home.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 11 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild through Regina/Tinia recursion.
• Recovery: Recover through Medius the Pure from the GY, Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw triggers, and the 16 searcher-text cards to re-find a center-zone starter after a hand-trap exchange.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side 0), so there is no post-side plan; sideboarding is unavailable as built.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional center-zone starter: three copies each of several hand-starters give P(at least one in a 5-card opening) of about 0.34, and 16 searcher-text cards give about 0.94 for at least one searcher in hand. Its conversion to pressure runs through Synchro chains into Elfnote bosses that restrict attacks from the center MMZ, and the 10 Synchro monsters and 3 Link monsters give it multiple boss routes. Going second is its strongest feature, since 11 hand traps give about 0.88 odds of at least one in a 6-card hand. Its score is held down by the absence of a side deck, no recorded combo or win-rate data, and heavy reliance on center-zone rules that a single disruption can break. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats were used only to confirm the list is real and accessible, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: engine dilution (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural ≈ 61.2, TR ≈ 50, modifiers -3 → 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Consistent center-zone starter access and searcher density
• Dense hand-trap package that is strong when going second
• Multiple Synchro and Link boss routes with attack-lock and banish effects
• Legal list with no restricted-card issue (Maxx C at its Limited cap of 1)

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Substantial off-archetype content lowers engine coherence
• Heavy reliance on center Main Monster Zone rules that a single removal or hand trap can break
• No recorded combo, win-rate or matchup data to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Loss of the center-zone monster before a boss Synchro lands
• Opponent hand traps or negations on the first starter
• Dependence on Synchro summons and their materials

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal under the Master Duel size rules (40/15/0) with no violations; Maxx C is Limited with 1 legal copy and 1 run; Archetype usage: Elfnote core cards present in the main deck; Composition, copy histogram and archetype purity figures
• Inferred: Starter consistency from hypergeometric odds; Hand-trap going-second read; Engine coherence and off-archetype dilution; Ceiling and median ranges from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and D13; Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no side deck supplied (side 0), so post-side cannot be scored usage_statistics join conflicts with cards list: Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia and Baronne de Fleur are shown as in_this_deck:false, yet the cards list places June Pride, Seraphim and Crystal Wing in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct may be wrong no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null
