Elfnote Deck #772611 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 9 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from the Elfnote and Kewl Tune Synchro Extra Deck monsters (Elfnote June Pride is absent from this list; Seraphim Strelitzia and Chaofeng, Phantom of the Yang Zing are the main board-presence Synchros).; Hand-trap-supported board protection with Elfnotes: Rhapsodia of Madness and Elfnote Fortuna as the end-board continuity pieces.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Kewl Tune or Elfnote starter, search a Tuner through Kewl Tune Mix, Kewl Tune Reco or Elfnote Regina, then Synchro Summon into a 5000+ ATK-class board; Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird are the expected turn-1 protection, but three of their copies are over the legal limit.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Maxx "C", Droll & Lock Bird) to disrupt the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Elfnote Regina and Kewl Tune searchers; legality must be corrected before this plan is reliable.
• Recovery: Recover through Elfnote Regina and Kewl Tune Reco or Remix, which can return a Tuner from the Extra Deck or GY to the field, and through Elfnotes: Welcome Home for protected board presence.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has 0 Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards (Baronne de Fleur, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Triple Tactics Talent) and six Limited or Semi-Limited cards exceed their legal copy counts, so it receives a structural-only score and a legality cap rather than a normal Final score. Structurally the 40-card main is compact enough (Elfnote/Kewl Tune searchers, 15 searcher-text cards, 9 hand-trap-tagged cards) that the engine is reachable on turn 1 or 2 in roughly 0.85 of hands with an archetype core card (Inferred). The deck has no recorded combos, so ceiling and floor are text-only estimates, and it has no Side Deck, so adaptability is scored low. The engine splits across two sub-archetypes (Kewl Tune 17 copies, Elfnote 15 exact-name copies), which dilutes engine coherence. Archetype popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52.05, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 50.6; context modifier -12 (banlist exposure); legality cap applied to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Compact searcher density (15 searcher-text cards) gives reliable access to the engine
• Layered hand-trap coverage (9 cards) gives going-second interaction
• Synchro-only Extra Deck of 15 cards is fully used, with clear summon routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards and six over-limit Limited/Semi-Limited cards
• Two sub-archetype engines (Kewl Tune and Elfnote) dilute engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo data, so ceiling and floor are unverified

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Baronne de Fleur and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon are Extra Deck interaction and cannot be played
• Over-limit Elfnote Lucina, Elfnote Tinia and Kewl Tune Synchro are central starters and must be cut to legal counts
• Over-limit Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird are the main interruption line; cutting them removes protection

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 3 Forbidden cards and 6 over-limit Limited/Semi-Limited cards; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side 0 is within limits; Copy histogram 9×1, 11×2, 3×3; 15 synchros in the Extra Deck; Usage stats: archetype core present 7 of 25 (28%)
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in opening 5) ≈ 0.92 and P(≥1 hand-trap in going-second 6) ≈ 0.81; Engine accessibility and brick risk from copy counts and card text; Interaction and resilience scored from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit (D13) and tournament reliability
• 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 exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck cards: post-side evaluation is not possible Deck is Illegal: scores are structural-only and capped
