Elfnote Deck #772294 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Field presence from Flame Swordsman, Noble Knight and Mulcharmy bodies plus Extra Deck Link and Synchro threats (Inferred); Equip-based boss pressure from Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles and Emperor Charles the Great (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Normal Summonable starter such as Fighting Flame Swordsman or Infernoble Knight - Renaud, then pivot into Extra Deck boss summons through equip and Flame Swordsman text (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird) and Solemn Judgment or Scolding to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Mulcharmy draw engine (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons; Heritage of the Chalice and Noble Arms searches restore hand (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck does not open a single coherent plan. It runs no Elfnote card at all (exact-name purity 0%, 72 off-archetype copies spread across Flame Swordsman, Noble Knight, Mulcharmy and others), so the archetype label does not describe what the list does. Its interaction density is high (7 hand traps, 17 negation-text and 25 removal-text cards), which lifts end-board interaction, but the starters are split across three engines, so the chance of a live starter on turn 1 is modest (about 0.24 for any single 3-copy card in a 5-card hand). No combos were supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and are scored low. Popularity or the archetype label did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged. The list is Illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies, legal limit 2), so the score is capped to a structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 39, Going First ≈ 35, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit (-12); archetype_mismatch (0). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: 0.80*Structural(39) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) = 37.2, capped to 25 for copy-limit violation (Meta provisional, structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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 interaction: hand traps, negations and removal give multiple answers to a single opposing play
• Three engines (Flame Swordsman, Noble Knight, Mulcharmy) provide some starter diversity
• Extra Deck carries high-ATK bosses (Ultimate Flame Swordsman 2800, Emperor Charles 3000) and Link/Synchro depth

Weaknesses

• Zero Elfnote cards despite the Elfnote archetype label; the core engine of the stated archetype is absent
• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom and an unresolved passcode in the Main Deck
• No Side Deck; no post-side plan at all
• Three engines with weak internal coherence raise brick and conflict risk

Critical choke points

• Single Ash Blossom copy over the limit makes the list illegal as built
• Equip-based boss summons depend on a small number of Equip Spells in a 58-card main deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited OCG limit of 2 (illegal); Main 58, Extra 14, Side 0 against OCG size rules 40-60, 0-15, 0-15 (legal size); Zero Elfnote-named cards in the list (exact-name purity 0%); Restricted cards Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Reinforcement of the Army, S:P Little Knight and Solemn Judgment are each run at their Limited limit of 1
• Observed: Usage statistics show Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia and Droll & Lock Bird as core in the archetype, and this deck runs them
• Inferred: Starter diversity across three engines gives moderate recovery after one disruption; Hand-trap density gives strong going-second interaction; Brick risk is moderate-high because of tech and conflicting engines
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample supplied); Matchup coverage
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent One passcode (45231177) in the Main Deck could not be resolved to a card No Side Deck registered; post-side read is impossible No win-rate telemetry for this deck; all consistency claims are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
