Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon a large Elfnote or Kewl Tune boss (Elfnote June Pride, Kewl Tune B2B, Chaofeng, Zalen) from the Extra Deck, using Elfnote starters that Special Summon themselves from hand to the center zone; Kewl Tune Synchro, Kewl Tune Mix/Reco and Power Patron searches that feed Tuner-based Synchro lines, backed by hand-trap negation during the opponent's turn
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Elfnote Lucina, Regina, Tinia or Fortuna) from hand, search or summon into the center zone, extend with Elfnote Power Patron or a Kewl Tune Tuner, and Synchro Summon a boss while holding Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Crossout Designator) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the Elfnote center-zone monsters and Synchro Summon
• Recovery: Recover from interaction through GY-based Special Summons (Elfnote Regina and Mulcharmy Fuwalos from the GY and hand) and Kewl Tune searches that refill starters
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no Side Deck and the list runs 0 side cards

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a live Elfnote starter: the archetype core group has about 0.99 probability of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and 15 searcher-text cards help fetch the next starter. Its Synchro boss package (Chaofeng, Zalen, Kewl Tune B2B, Elfnote Seraphim, Kewl Tune Loudness War) gives a high ceiling, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is text-based and Inferred. Interaction is broad (10 hand-trap and 11 tech-role cards, plus negation text on Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler), which supports the going-second read: about 0.85 probability of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand. The score comes from consistency, interaction and the Extra Deck on the system, not from averaging card scores, and Elfnote's popularity in the usage table earned no points by itself. The 27 percent exact-archetype purity and the Kewl Tune and Elfnote mix cost points for engine coherence, and the Limited copies lower the score through banlist exposure. (Inferred / Provisional)

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 67, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-4)

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

• Starter density: archetype core group about 0.99 in opening hand
• Layered hand-trap coverage for going second
• Extra Deck has high-ATK Synchro bosses and Kewl Tune B2B

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards: ceiling and median are text-only
• Two sub-archetypes (Elfnote and Kewl Tune) dilute the engine
• Limited copies of Crossout, Maxx C and two Kewl Tunes cap redundancy

Critical choke points

• Center Main Monster Zone starter: Elfnote starters rely on it, and Effect Veiler or Ash Blossom can negate it
• Single Tuner-based Synchro lines: losing the Tuner to a hand trap stops the Synchro Summon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status and copy limits, 40 main and 15 extra; Card text and banlist status for all listed cards; Usage stats: Elfnote Lucina, Tinia, Regina and Ash Blossom are core cards in this deck
• Inferred: Consistency: archetype-core probability 0.99 in 5 cards; Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.845; Ceiling from embedded card text (no boards)
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the cards list: Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Baronne de Fleur and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon are listed as in_this_deck=false and under missing_core, but they appear in the extra-zone cards list; the flag likely checks the Main Deck only deck.title is null, so deck_name is null
