Elfnote Deck #773417 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro-summon a high-ATK Elfnote or Power Patron boss (Elfnote Tinia 2400, Lucina 2500, Regina 2000 as hand-summon bridges to Synchro boss 3000+ ATK) while the center Main Monster Zone lock keeps the opponent from attacking.; Vidolium the Unstable (5000 ATK Pendulum) and the Extra-Deck Synchro boss package (Chaos Angel 3500, Junora 3100, June Pride 3100).
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Elfnote Power Patron, Lucina or Tinia to the center zone, search or place an Elfnotes spell/trap, then Synchro into a boss while keeping Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre up as hand traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Maxx C to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild the center-zone lock and Synchro through interaction.
• Recovery: Re-summon a hand-summon Elfnote (Lucina, Tinia, Regina, Fortuna) from hand or Deck, use Medius and Power Patron Portal to add a Power Patron or Elfnote, and return to the Synchro route.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no evidenced post-side plan; this is a structural gap.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an archetype starter: the 28-copy archetype core has a hand-of-5 proxy of 0.9988 and 15 searcher-text cards give 0.9193 for at least one searcher, so consistency is scored high (Inferred from the hypergeometric export). Conversion is scored on the system, not on any card average: three-copy hand-summon Level 6 Elfnotes bridge to Synchro bosses whose text locks the center zone and negates or banishes opposing cards, and the center-zone lock is the main reason the endboard scores well. Interaction is broad (7 hand-trap-flagged cards and 6 negation-text cards in the main deck, with Extra-Deck negations such as Junora, Baronne and Crystal Wing), which earns D7 and D8 but is not credited a second time as board-breaking beyond the going-second split. The score is pulled down by the absence of any recorded combo boards (median and floor are text-only inference), the lack of a side deck, and conditional Mulcharmy draw effects that conflict with a board-presence Elfnote plan. Popularity and the 99 percent Extra-Deck inclusion of the core cards did not add points directly; the score is 0.80 times Structural plus 0.20 times Tournament Reliability, minus context modifiers, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 71, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 66. Modifiers: Engine conflict (Mulcharmy draw conditions) (-2); Unrecoverable center-zone choke point (-2); Weak post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(71) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(66) = 70.0; plus context modifiers (-6) = 64; Meta provisional (no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core reliably present in opening hands (proxy 0.9988 for hand of 5).
• Center-zone lock and hand-summon bridges give a one-card-combo style plan.
• Seven hand-trap-flagged cards and Extra-Deck negations give layered interaction.
• Compact main deck with nine three-copy cards.

Weaknesses

• No recorded combo boards, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference.
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation.
• Mulcharmy draw effects are conditional and conflict with board presence.
• Exact-name purity is only 34.5 percent; the deck leans on Power Patron, Medius and generic staples.

Critical choke points

• The center Main Monster Zone monster: removing it breaks the lock and several hand-summon routes.
• Single-copy Synchro bosses in the Extra Deck (14 Synchro, all singleton).

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 legal; Crossout Designator and Maxx C Limited at 1 copy each (legal).; Hypergeometric figures: 0.3376 for 3-copy card in hand of 5; 0.7114 hand-trap in hand of 6; 0.9193 searcher; 0.9988 archetype core.; Card stats and text from cards[].
• Observed: usage statistics: 28 rows; 24 core cards, of which 11 Extra-Deck cards are marked in this deck=false although the Extra Deck lists them (see data gaps).
• Inferred: Center-zone lock as the main end-board tool.; Going-second hand-trap advantage.; Structural and final scoring values.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null).; Matchup and format fit (D13 = 50).; Side-deck adaptability (D12).
• 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 side list (Side Deck size 0): post-side plan unevaluable usage statistics in this deck flag is false for 11 Extra-Deck core cards (June Pride, Seraphim Strelitzia, Baronne de Fleur, Crystal Wing, Golden Cloud Beast Malong, Accel Synchro Stardust, F.A. Dawn Dragster, Black Rose Dragon, Chaos Angel, Junora, Wind Pegasus) although cards[] lists them in the Extra Deck; they were treated as present, so core-card presence 54.2 is an export artifact (24 of 24 present) no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates): those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
