Elfnote Deck #770378 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Main Monster Zone Elfnote Lucina, Tinia, Regina or Fortuna, or a Synchro boss, converts a hand-trap-protected board into a high-ATK attacker.; Synchro boss attacks (Chaos Angel 3500, Psychic End Punisher 3500, Dawn Dragster) and Vidolium 5000 ATK as a late-game finisher.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Power Patron / Medius / Junoldo search or Special Summon, then make a Main Monster Zone Elfnote summon and fill the Extra Deck synchro route.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's first summon or search, then transition into Elfnote summons from hand.
• Recovery: Rebuild through Elfnote Power Patron and Medius recursion, Welcome Home and Rhapsodia, and Mulcharmy draw effects when the board is empty.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side adjustment.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reliably: ten main-deck Elfnote and Power Patron monsters at 2 to 3 copies each, sixteen searcher-text cards, and a computed P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.94 point to consistent T1 and T2 starts (Inferred). Interaction is the deck's strongest system feature: nine hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Maxx C) and four negate-text cards (Herald, Baronne, Crystal Wing, Black Rose) give layered disruption that scores well for going second (Inferred from card text). Conversion is credible but unverified, because no recorded boards exist and the combo ceiling rests on card text alone. The Extra Deck omits Elfnote June Pride and Seraphim Strelitzia, which are about 99% archetype-standard, so the synchro route is less consistent than the archetype norm; Medius and Mulcharmy add pressure but also conditional bricks. Popularity and archetype usage confirmed the list is real, but earned no points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 100% Combo profile; Stun is a secondary label only and is not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 62.55, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Missing core Extra-Deck engine pieces (-3); Conditional bricks (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, not used): 0.80*62.55 + 0.20*56 = 61.24, then -6 modifiers = 55.24 -> 55

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Layered interaction: nine hand traps and four negate-text cards give disruption on both turns.
• Consistent access: a high searcher density and 3-copy core monsters make T1 and T2 starts reliable.
• High ATK line-up: Lucina, Tinia, Fortuna, Chaos Angel and Psychic End Punisher give strong closing power.

Weaknesses

• Core Elfnote synchro engine pieces (June Pride, Seraphim Strelitzia) are missing despite about 99% usage.
• No Side Deck, so the deck has no post-side adjustment.
• Several conditional cards (Mulcharmy, Purulia) are dead in many hands.

Critical choke points

• Main Monster Zone access: Lucina, Regina, Tinia and Fortuna all depend on the center Main Monster Zone.
• Single copies of Herald and Maxx C: Limited status caps them at one, so each is a one-card dependency.
• Going-second hand-trap density: a hand without Ash, Ghost Ogre or Droll loses its disruption on the opponent's first turn.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel with 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Herald 1/1, Maxx C 1/1, Droll 2/2 within legal copy limits.; Card stats and printed text for all 33 distinct cards.; Archetype usage: June Pride 99.5%, Seraphim Strelitzia 99.0%, Lucina 95.7%, Tinia 93.8% of the reference set.
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5) about 0.94 and P(>=1 hand trap in 6 going second) about 0.81 from the hypergeometric model.; Interaction density and going-second strength from the hand-trap and negate card text.; Conditional brick risk for Mulcharmy and Purulia from card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample).; Matchup coverage and format fit (no tournament context or win data).; Side-deck adaptability (no Side Deck in this format).
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter or OTK rates. Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Deck title is null and the list is user-built, so the intended build target is inferred from usage statistics.
