Elfnote Deck #772099 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote and Power Patron board pressure: Elfnote Lucina, Elfnote Tinia, Elfnote Fortuna and Elfnote Regina on the field, with Vidolium and Power Patron Synchro and Link bosses (Elfnote June Pride, Junora, Mediclius) converting it; Ars Magna and Medius recursion into Theorealized and Power Patron boss monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Elfnote Regina or Medius from hand, search or summon a second Elfnote or Power Patron, then Synchro or Link into a boss while Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Maxx C protect the engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot) interrupt the opponent's first summon or search, then Elfnote Regina and Mulcharmy draw engines rebuild the board
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw engine plus Elfnote Regina self-summon from hand, with Theorealize Past Lull and Theorealized Medius recovering monsters from the GY
• After siding: Not available: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is a theoretical, structural-only score because the list is Illegal: it runs three Forbidden OCG cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Baronne de Fleur), so the final number is capped at 25 and must not be read as a playable deck rating. The structural read (about 56) comes from the system, not from the individual card scores or from the archetype's popularity: the Elfnote core (25 archetype copies, about 96 percent chance of at least one in an opening 5) keeps the engine live, and the eight hand traps and negation text give the deck above-average interaction (D7 about 72). Going second is a real strength because the hand-trap density gives about 68 percent chance of a hand trap in a 6-card hand. Weaknesses are the absence of combo recordings, no Side Deck for best-of-3, and a 20 percent exact-name archetype purity spread over Ars Magna, Mulcharmy, Power Patron and Medius, which adds pilot error and brick risk. Meta and matchup fit stay Provisional because no dated meta sample or tournament link exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in deck) (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is Provisional: 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + Modifiers(-12) = 42, then capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is dense: P(at least one archetype card in an opening 5) about 0.96
• Broad interaction suite: 9 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards give layered answers
• Going-second hand-trap coverage is strong, about 0.68 of 6-card hands contain one

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards must be removed before any playable score applies
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low exact-name purity (20 percent): Ars Magna, Mulcharmy, Medius and Power Patron sub-archetypes dilute the engine
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Synchro and Link bosses (Crystal Wing, Baronne de Fleur, F.A. Dawn Dragster) occupy Extra Deck slots that a legal list would need to fill
• Elfnote Regina and Medius starter lines depend on specific Elfnote and Power Patron monsters being in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden OCG cards are run, one copy each (legal copies 0); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Side is 0; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within limit; Archetype purity 20 percent with 14 exact-name copies
• Observed: Archetype usage shows the Elfnote core is widely played (core cards present 17 of 25 per usage statistics)
• Inferred: Opening-hand and draw probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Hand-trap and interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated
