Elfnote Deck #773355 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 3 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote and Mulcharmy monsters open the board, then Synchro Summon into the 2400-3100 ATK Synchro monsters (Elfnote June Pride, Black Rose Dragon, Kewl Tune RS). Plan is inferred from card text; no recorded boards exist.; Tuner-based Effect Monsters (Bystial Magnamhut, Lucina, Tinia, Fydraulis Harmonia) as direct attackers or board pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Regina, Fuwalos, or Purulia starter (about 30% per copy in 5 cards) and use Lucina or Power Patron to search, then Synchro Summon. Hand traps stay in hand as protection.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use one of 14 hand traps to answer the opponent's first board (about 90% to have at least one in 6 cards), then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects and the Synchro Extra Deck.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the hand is empty, and Elfnote searchers refill. Recovery depends on Elfnote monsters being redrawn.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play has no adjustment.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on its system, not an average of its card scores. Its Elfnote, Mulcharmy, and Dominus monsters repeatedly reach the board, and it has three redundant triple-copy starters (Regina, Fuwalos, Purulia), which gives roughly 30% per copy of a starter in 5 cards and about 80% for the core group (Inferred). Interaction is the main strength: 14 hand traps, 19 negation-text cards, and 22 removal-text cards give about a 90% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred). Conversion and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores are text-only inference. Popularity was not credited: the Elfnote core is only 24% present (6 of 25 core cards), and the list runs no side deck, so the score is reduced by a weak post-side plan and by Elfnote placement effects that have no targets in this list. Meta power is provisional, and the final score uses 0.80 Structural plus 0.20 Tournament Reliability with context modifiers.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (not separately weighted). Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: weak post-side plan (-3); engine conflicts / placement dead ends (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, null); 0.80*59 + 0.20*52 = 57.6, modifiers -6, rounded to 52

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · 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 redundant triple-copy starters (Regina, Fuwalos, Purulia)
• 14 hand traps give strong going-second interaction
• Layered negation and removal (Dominus Spark, Dominus Impulse, Synchro Emergency, Ghost Ogre, Ash Blossom)
• Mulcharmy draw effects give recovery on empty hands

Weaknesses

• No side deck (0 cards) and therefore no post-side plan
• Elfnote backrow placement effects have no targets in this list
• Only 16% of the main deck is exact Elfnote, and only 24% of the archetype core is present
• Combo conversion and median output are unmeasured (no boards)

Critical choke points

• Elfnote starter (Regina/Lucina/Tinia) being removed or negated before the Synchro chain resolves
• Dependence on single-copy Limited cards (Lucina, Tinia, Bystial, Droll, Maxx C)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal (OCG) with 46 Main, 3 Extra, 0 Side, all copy limits met; Card text and stats for all 27 distinct cards; Archetype usage stats: 6 of 25 core cards present; Ban statuses: five Limited 1-copy cards, two Semi-Limited 2-copy cards
• Inferred: Starter access: P ≈ 0.30 per triple-copy starter in 5 cards, core group ≈ 0.80; Hand-trap coverage: P ≈ 0.90 for at least one hand trap in 6 cards; Interaction quality and resilience read from text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13): no tournament link or meta-share
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup, and brick rates are Inferred No side deck present; post-side scoring is unknown Usage stats mark Elfnote June Pride as not in deck, but the card list shows it in the Extra Deck (1 copy); the usage match appears to be Main-Deck only Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
