Elfnote Deck #772526 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boss from the Elfnote/Angelechy Extra Deck (Cosmic Blazar Dragon, Chaos Angel, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia) after an Elfnote starter chain; Negate and disruption lines (Forbidden Crown, Angelechy Verdict, Ash Blossom) that clear the way for a Synchro summon
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an Elfnote starter (Regina or Fortuna, 3 copies each), search or special summon the Elfnote engine, and Synchro into a 3000+ ATK boss while holding Ash Blossom or Droll & Lock Bird up
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 56% hand-trap access (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Elfnotes: Welcome Home and Theorealize Past Lull
• Recovery: Searchers (13 searcher-text cards) plus recursive Elfnote and Medius lines to rebuild after an interruption; no post-side plan exists because the Side Deck is empty
• After siding: None: the deck was submitted with 0 side cards, so there is no post-side adaptation

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens an Elfnote starter with 3-copy Regina and Fortuna (about 32% per copy-count at least one in a 5-card opening hand), and the archetype core is present in about 95% of openings (Inferred). Interaction is dense for an OCG list: 5 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards and 15 removal-text cards give a broad answer suite, with roughly 56% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand (Inferred). Conversion is capped by the absence of recorded boards, so ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored conservatively. Popularity did not earn points: the Elfnote archetype is widely run, but exact-name purity is only 24.6% and the list includes 43 off-archetype copies, which the score penalises. The score was not produced by averaging card scores. It is capped at 30 because the deck breaks the OCG copy limit on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, so the number is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Midrange secondary (disclosed, not used for the final number). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 49, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit cap (-11); Banlist exposure (-3); No side deck (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*48 + 0.20*45 = 47.4; modifiers -6 -> 41.4; Illegal deck cap applied -> 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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 suite: 5 hand traps, 12 negation-text, 15 removal-text cards
• Archetype core present in about 95% of opening hands (Inferred)
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with strong Synchro closers (Cosmic Blazar Dragon, Chaos Angel)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies exceeds the Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Empty side deck: no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (24.6%) with 43 off-archetype copies

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy-limit violation must be fixed before the list is legal
• Synchro summon depends on a small set of Tuner and Elfnote starters; a single removal or negation can stop the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring over the Semi-Limited copy limit (3 run, 2 legal); Main 42 and Extra 15 within OCG size rules; Side 0 within 0-15; Six Limited singletons are legal at 1 copy
• Observed: Elfnote archetype core usage 91% for Elfnotes: Rhapsodia and Elfnote Fortuna in the usage stats; Exact-name purity 24.6% from composition
• Inferred: Starter access 0.32 per 3-copy card and 0.95 core presence from hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap access 0.56 on going second; Interaction density scores D7 and D8
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated meta sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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, brick, starter, OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so post-side dimension D12 is unscored by evidence No guides attached (guide data total 0)
