Elfnote Deck #772341 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote and Power Patron Synchro/Link boards (Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Lucina, Elfnote Tinia, Vidolium, Mediclius-style Link pressure) reached through hand-starter Special Summon chains; Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon and Ekhajar boards after a Synchro Summon, with Ars Magna recursion supplying extra attackers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Elfnote Regina, Elfnote Power Patron or Mulcharmy Fuwalos), search with Ars Magna or Medius, and convert to a Synchro boss. Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird) are held for the opponent's turn, not used on the first turn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps in response to the opponent's opening turn, then rebuild through Elfnote Regina and Theorealized Medius. Hand-trap density is the strongest part of the second-turn plan.
• Recovery: Ars Magna Corruption and Division recursion from the banish zone, Elfnotes: Welcome Home, and Theorealize Past Lull to bring back Synchro or Fusion monsters from the GY.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 is unplayable as built until a side is added.

Why it scores here

The deck's starter access is good: three Elfnote Regina, three Elfnote Power Patron and three Mulcharmy Fuwalos give a real hand-starter chain, and the search cards (Ars Magna, Medius, Theorealize) make the opening repeatable. Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with seven hand-trap or negation cards (Ash Blossom x2, Ghost Ogre x2, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Effect Veiler) that keep the second turn playable. The score is held back by three Forbidden cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Baronne de Fleur) that put the list over the copy limit, so it is scored as a theoretical, structural-only evaluation. Archetype purity is only 25.5 percent, with Ars Magna, Power Patron, Medius, Mulcharmy and Synchron cards competing for the same slots, and the deck has no side. No combo recordings, tournament link or dated meta sample exist, so the result is not based on Elfnote's popularity or on averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54.5, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck, theoretical/structural-only: computed 0.80*54.5 + 0.20*45 - 12 (modifiers) = 40.6, capped to 25 because three Forbidden cards are over the copy limit. Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Three hand-starter Elfnote and Power Patron cards with multiple searchers
• Seven hand traps and negations for layered interaction
• Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre redundancy
• Strong boss ATK in the Extra Deck (Elfnote Lucina, Vidolium, Accel Synchro)

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden cards over the copy limit make the list illegal
• Archetype purity of 25.5 percent and mixed sub-engines
• No side deck at all
• Hand-only starters create brick risk

Critical choke points

• Elfnote Regina or Power Patron as the single starter for the first turn
• Extra Deck summons that require Forbidden cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing, Baronne)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards over copy limit (legality); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 against the OCG size rules; Seven hand traps and negations by text flag; Archetype purity 25.5 percent by exact name; Elfnote June Pride and Mediclius are Unlimited and in the archetype core
• Inferred: Starter access from hypergeometric estimates; Brick risk from hand-only starters; Interaction layering from card text; Pilotability from the number of decision points
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit and tournament reliability; Median output and floor (no recorded boards)
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null, and there is no side deck
