Elfnote Deck #770360 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±7 · 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-summon high-ATK Elfnote bosses (Lucina, Tinia, Regina, Vidolium, Seraphim, Chaos Angel) through a Main Monster Zone engine and convert the board into attacks; Power Patron and Mulcharmy card advantage and hand-trap disruption to win the long game
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Elfnote starter, Normal Summon a Level 6 Elfnote into the center zone, use its search or summon effect, then Synchro into a boss with Elfnote Welcome Home or Rhapsodia protecting the center monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's first board, then use a Power Patron or Elfnote boss to rebuild the center-zone engine
• Recovery: Recurse Power Patron and Elfnote monsters from the GY through Medius, Mulcharmy draw, and Jet Synchron, then rebuild the center-zone Synchro engine
• After siding: Deck has no Side Deck; no post-side plan is available in this list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan because roughly 17 searcher-text cards and 17 Elfnote-family starters give a high probability of at least one live starter in a 5-card opening hand (about 0.95, Inferred). Its conversion comes from a Synchro engine built around the center Main Monster Zone, with several 2400-2500 ATK Elfnote bosses and Vidolium at 5000 ATK. Survival rests on six hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) and recursion through Power Patron and Mulcharmy, so it can keep rebuilding after one disruption. The score is held back by the absence of combo recordings, meta data, tournament context and a side deck, and by Mulcharmy's no-cards condition conflicting with the Elfnote field presence. Popularity and usage stats confirm the list is real, but they did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-1); engine_conflicts (-2); weak_post_side (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 63.1, TR 55, base 61.5, then modifiers -5

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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 and searcher density gives reliable T1 access
• Six hand traps and Synchro-based interaction on both turns
• Multiple independent recursion routes after disruption
• High-ATK boss options at several Synchro levels

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Mulcharmy engine conflicts with the Elfnote field plan
• Pilotability burden from Pendulum, Synchro and level-manipulation sequencing
• Single-copy Limited Maxx C is a fragile key hand trap

Critical choke points

• The center Main Monster Zone must hold a monster for the engine; removal or a Main Monster Zone disruption can stall the plan
• Maxx C is a single copy; losing it removes a draw-and-disrupt route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 40 main, 15 extra, no violations; Banlist: Maxx C Limited 1, Droll and The Fallen Semi-Limited 2; Card stats and text as listed; Zero Side Deck cards
• Observed: Usage stats show the Elfnote core is standard (about 99 percent for Elfnote-family staples)
• Inferred: Starter probability about 0.95 from hypergeometric estimate; Hand-trap and interaction breadth read from text; Consistency and brick estimates from card text and copy counts
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit (D13); Median combo output (D4) with no recorded boards
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage stats in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list for Junora, Crystal Wing and others, so copy-level usage deviation cannot be fully trusted Deck title is null
