Elfnote Deck #773941 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro bosses from the Extra Deck: Kewl Tune B2B (3200 ATK), Zalen the Shackled Dragon (2800 ATK), Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon (2500 ATK), plus Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia (3000 ATK in the centre zone) if it is actually in the list (see data gaps).; Centre-zone Elfnote Level-6 monsters (Tinia, Lucina, Fortuna, Regina) recurring Elfnote bodies from the Deck, feeding repeated Synchro Summons.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner plus a non-Tuner, Special Summon an Elfnote Level-6 monster to the centre zone, use Kewl Tune Synchro or Elfnote searchers to reach a Synchro boss, and keep Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler up for the opponent's first interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx C and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Elfnote searchers and Kewl Tune Mix or Reco into a Synchro boss.
• Recovery: Recover through Kewl Tune Rotary/Clip Tuner reuse, Elfnotes: Welcome Home and Elfnote Regina/Fortuna special summons from the Deck, and Kewl Tune RS banishing Tuners from the GY to negate.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens functional lines: searchers hit at least one copy in 90% of 5-card hands and the hypergeometric draw table gives roughly a 34% chance of a specific triple-copy starter such as Elfnote Tinia in a going-first hand, with 8 hand traps (76% chance of at least one in a 6-card going-second hand) providing early interaction. Its conversion comes from a Synchro engine that reaches bosses in the 2800 to 3200 ATK range and centre-zone Elfnote recursion, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference and were not averaged from card scores. Popularity of the archetype and high usage statistics confirm the list is real and accessible but earned no points on their own. Structural weaknesses are a split engine (Elfnote and Kewl Tune on one Extra Deck with only 23.6% exact-name Elfnote purity), a Fusion slot whose material is not in the deck, and no side deck to adapt between games. Final score uses the Combo profile with Meta left provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60.1, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Engine conflict (Elfnote centre-zone vs Kewl Tune Synchro) (-2); Dead Fusion slot and Fallen line (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*60.1 + 0.20*55 - 4 = 55.1

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• Eight hand traps and nine negation-text cards give strong first-response interaction.
• Searcher density (14 cards) makes the Synchro engine reachable on most hands.
• Synchro bosses above 2800 ATK with layered negation and protection (Kewl Tune Loudness War, Zalen, Kewl Tune RS).

Weaknesses

• Two engines (Elfnote and Kewl Tune) on one Extra Deck; exact Elfnote purity is 23.6%.
• Albion the Branded Dragon and the Fallen & The Virtuous copies need a Fallen of Albaz that is not in the deck.
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation.
• Tuner-heavy main (18 Tuners of 40) risks hands that can not Synchro without a non-Tuner.

Critical choke points

• Centre-zone Elfnote summons require a free centre Main Monster Zone; a single back-row or hand-trap disruption of the first centre monster can end the line.
• Synchro bosses need a non-Tuner in hand or field; hands of only Tuners or hand traps stall the Synchro line.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: all 8 restricted entries run within legal copies; main 40, extra 15, side 0 are within master-duel size rules.; Hand-trap group probability 0.7639 at 6 cards and triple-copy starter probability 0.3376 at 5 cards match hypergeometric recomputation.; Card text for Albion (Fallen of Albaz material) and The Fallen & The Virtuous (Fallen Extra Deck requirement).; Archetype purity and copy histogram sum to 40 main and 15 extra.
• Observed: Usage statistics show Elfnote June Pride, Baronne de Fleur and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon as core (inclusion above 96%) across the archetype sample.
• Inferred: Synchro engine reaches 2800 to 3200 ATK bosses with the Elfnote centre-zone plan.; Interaction density gives layered first responses.; Going-second hand trap coverage is good.; Albion is likely a dead Extra Deck slot.
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13) because no dated meta sample or tournament link exists.; Going-second power depends on a side plan that does not exist.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick, starter rates). Meta Power is provisional. Evidence conflict: usage statistics marks Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Elfnote June Pride, Baronne de Fleur, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon and Golden Cloud Beast - Malong as not in this deck, but the cards array lists them as zone extra. The missing core cards list is therefore unreliable for Extra Deck entries. Deck title is null; the deck is identified by archetype and card list only.
