Eldlich Deck #772371 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord (2 copies, Extra) and Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket (5000 ATK) as end-board threats, supported by Eldlich recursion from the Graveyard; Fallen Angel of the Golden Land and Saint Azamina as additional Extra Deck boards; Flying Mary as a Link-based Zombie recursion route
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Eldlich/Eldlixir searchers and Delta of Invitation to reach a Zombie Eldlich board, keeping hand traps and Solemn/Skill Drain-type interaction up for the opponent's first Summon (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with 9 hand traps and 22 tech/interaction cards to answer the opponent's first board, then convert through Eldlich Golden Lord and the Extra Deck boss (Inferred)
• Recovery: Eldlich the Golden Lord and Eldlixirs return from the Graveyard by banishing or sending Golden Land and Eldlixir Spell/Traps, which rebuilds the board after an interruption (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; this is a single-deck structural read

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its reliable parts are a 10-card searcher package (about 65% to hit at least one in a 5-card hand, Inferred), a recursive Eldlich engine that rebuilds from the Graveyard, and dense interaction (9 hand traps, 19 negation texts, Skill Drain, Dark Ruler No More, Destructive Daruma, Raigeki and Lightning Storm). Its Extra Deck is fully used (15 cards, all three Extra Deck boss routes present). Combo ceiling and floor are text-only because no recorded boards exist, so those scores are low-confidence. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage data is used only for the core check, and the list's exact-name archetype purity is 15.7%. The legality failure (3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2) caps the final score, so this is a structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59.2, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-12). Final formula: Illegal list: pre-cap = 0.80*59.2 + 0.20*50 - 12 (legality modifier) ≈ 45.4, capped at 25 as a structural-only result, not a normal Final Contextual score (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (9 hand traps, 19 negation-text cards)
• Graveyard recursion for Eldlich Golden Lord and Eldlixirs gives several rebuild routes
• All 15 Extra Deck slots are real boss or route cards
• Multiple one-card answers to an established board (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Daruma, Dark Ruler)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring has 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2
• No Side Deck (side_count 0)
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are text-only
• Low exact-name archetype purity (15.7%), so the engine depends on off-archetype support

Critical choke points

• Eldlich Golden Lord in the Graveyard is the main recovery route; it is only 3 copies (about 25% to be in a 5-card hand)
• Searcher package of 10 cards must hit early for turn-1 consistency

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal limit 2 (over limit); Main Deck 55 (in 40-60) and Extra 15 (in 0-15) size counts; Banlist statuses for all restricted cards; Extra Deck composition: fusion 7, link 5, synchro 1, xyz 2; Card text excerpts and stats for all resolved cards
• Inferred: Searcher and hand-trap consistency probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Engine recovery and resilience reads from card text; Strategy classification (Midrange primary, Stun/Toolbox secondary); Going-first and going-second plan descriptions
• Provisional: Tournament reliability and meta fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no Side Deck registered)
• Data gaps: Illegal copy limit: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs 2 allowed No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics marks Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord and Flying Mary as not in this deck (copies 0), but the card list resolves both at 2 copies each in the Extra Deck; the card list was used as the source of truth and the usage flags are inconsistent No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match records are absent No guides for this archetype (total_guides 0) No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) No Side Deck registered Deck title is null
