Elfnote Deck #770466 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote and Power Patron Synchro/Link beatdown: Elfnote June Pride (3100 ATK), Junora (3100 ATK) and Mediclius (3000 ATK Link) close through the Ars Magna and Theorealize support (Inferred from card text; no recorded combos); Negation-backed grind through Ash Blossom, Kuriboh, Effect Veiler and Ghost Ogre hand traps, with Elfnote Regina and Fortuna extending (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Normal Summon starter (Elfnote Regina, Lucina or Tinia), search a second Elfnote or Power Patron, and build toward a Synchro or Link summon; the hand traps are held for the opponent's first Quick Effect (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash, Kuriboh, Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild the Elfnote engine from the Deck (Inferred)
• Recovery: Elfnote and Power Patron searchers (Junoldo, Medius, Purification, Theorealize Past Lull) plus Welcome Home and Rhapsodia rebuild the field after a single interruption (Inferred)
• After siding: Not assessable: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on the system, not by averaging its cards. Its opening is reasonably reliable: 96.6% of hands open at least one Archetype core card and about 91% open a searcher (Inferred hypergeometric estimates). It converts through Elfnote and Power Patron Synchro and Link beaters and has 15 hand-trap and negation effects to stop the opponent's first board. The deck is capped low because it is illegal in TCG: three Forbidden cards (Crystal Wing, Elfnote Tinia, F.A. Dawn Dragster) and three over-limit Limited and Semi-Limited cards are run, so no normal Final Contextual score applies. The Side Deck is empty, and there is no combo, tournament or win-rate data. Archetype popularity was not credited as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); empty_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical/structural only. Uncapped blend 0.80*49 + 0.20*40 = 47.2 is capped to 20 because the list runs Forbidden cards and over-limit copies. Modifiers apply within the cap.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• High searcher density and core-card access (about 97% of openings hit a core card)
• Layered interaction: 15 hand-trap effects and 14 negation-text cards
• Multiple Extra Deck beaters at 3000 to 3100 ATK, plus Link-based recursion

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: three Forbidden cards and three over-limit cards
• Empty Side Deck, so no adaptability
• Low archetype purity (20.8% exact Elfnote), which may dilute the engine
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and floor are unverified

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Elfnote Tinia and Crystal Wing must be removed before the list can be evaluated as a legal deck
• Elfnote Lucina is limited to 1 copy, so 3 copies cannot all be drawn
• The opening depends on Elfnote and Power Patron searchers: one miss leaves the Extra Deck engine without a starter

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: three Forbidden cards and six copy-limit violations; Main 57 and Extra 15 counts are inside the TCG size rules; Side Deck is empty (0 cards); Hypergeometric draw probabilities from the Main Deck
• Inferred: Elfnote and Power Patron Synchro and Link beaters are the primary closing route; Hand traps and negates give layered interaction; Consistency and brick estimates from probabilities and text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos (combo data total 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN Side Deck is empty Usage statistics mark June Pride, Seraphim Strelitzia, Crystal Wing, Dawn Dragster, Mediclius and Purification as not in deck, but the card list includes them in the Extra zone; this is a data inconsistency and the missing core cards flags were not used Deck title is null
