Elfnote Deck #773919 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon boss monsters (Elfnote June Pride 3100 ATK, Junora 3100 ATK, Chaos Angel 3500 ATK) off a center-zone Elfnote engine, with Vidolium 5000 ATK as a main-deck threat; Chained interaction and field control, using Elfnote center-zone effects and the Power Patron / Medius line to keep the board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a hand-starting Elfnote (Lucina, Tinia, Regina or Power Patron) in the center zone, then extend into a Synchro boss while hand traps hold up the opponent's first disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Mourner, Maxx C) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the same center-zone engine
• Recovery: Recover from interruption through Elfnote and Power Patron search effects, Junoldo draw, Maxx C and Mulcharmy Fuwalos draws, and a Medius line from the Graveyard
• After siding: Not applicable: the list runs no Side Deck and Master Duel has no post-side step, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a live engine because four Elfnote and Power Patron monsters (Lucina, Tinia, Regina, Power Patron) can be Special Summoned from hand, each with 3 copies giving about a 33% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype-core proxy is about 99.8% (Inferred). It has strong interruption resilience and interaction: eight hand traps and about ten negation effects give it layered answers to the opponent's first disruption, and the going-second hand-trap probability is about 75% (Inferred). Its ceiling and median output are not measured because no boards were supplied, so the synchro-boss conversion is scored from card text only. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system as a whole. It does not come from Elfnote being a popular archetype, and it does not come from averaging card scores. Meta Power is provisional and no tournament or win-rate evidence exists, so the Final score is capped by Medium confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.7 Combo / 0.3 Stun. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: Engine compactness / hand-starting engine (2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated sample): 0.80*64 + 0.20*62 + 1 = 64.6, rounded to 65

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Four hand-starting Elfnote monsters at 3 copies each give a live engine without setup
• Eight hand traps give layered answers at going second
• Full Extra Deck with 13 Synchro bosses offers several closing options

Weaknesses

• No measured combo boards, so ceiling and median are text-only inference
• Only 3 of 41 copies are the exact Elfnote name, so engine coherence depends on the Power Patron and Medius lines
• No Side Deck in Master Duel, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Center Main Monster Zone: most engine effects and the Synchro boss plan depend on one zone
• Single-copy Limited cards Maxx C and Crossout Designator are one-copy answers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 41 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, no violations; Maxx C and Crossout Designator are Limited and run at 1 legal copy; Hand-starting and hand-trap text read from card descriptions; Archetype usage: Elfnote core cards at high inclusion
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Elfnote core is widely played (core-card presence 52)
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.33 per 3-copy card and about 0.998 archetype-core proxy; Hand-trap probability about 0.75 at going second; Interruption resilience from eight hand traps and multiple routes; Interaction layering from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Side adaptability (D12) in Master Duel context
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Guide snippet is Vietnamese and truncated, with no sections Master Duel has no post-side step, so D12 is structural only
