Elfnote Deck #774029 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote and Power Patron board pressure: Synchro and Link monsters (Vidolium, Mediclius, Elfnote June Pride, Chaos Angel, Adamancipator Risen - Dragite) converting an unbroken field into high-ATK attacks.; Ars Magna and Theorealize recursion: Medius the Pure and Theorealized Medius rebuild the board from the GY and banish after a board is cleared.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Elfnote starter (Regina, Fortuna, Power Patron or Lucina, the last within the 1-copy limit once fixed), extend through Elfnote Power Patron and Junoldo, then Synchro or Link into a boss while holding Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Droll to protect the line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird and Evenly Matched in hand to disrupt the opponent's first summon or search, then Mulcharmy draw and Medius recursion to rebuild the board and attack through the Solemn and Rhapsodia lock.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY with Medius the Pure, Theorealize Past Lull and Ars Magna Division and Union, plus Mulcharmy draw to refill the hand after a board wipe.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so the post-side plan cannot be evaluated. A legal 15-card side is needed before any post-side claim can be made.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an Elfnote or Power Patron starter. The archetype core (26 copies) gives a hypergeometric estimate of about 0.96 for at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the searcher text group is about 0.92. Interaction is layered across hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Evenly Matched) and the Solemn set, which gives it a fair chance of surviving disruption and stopping a first summon on the draw. Conversion is credited from the Synchro and Link boss suite and the Medius and Theorealize recursion, but there are no recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inference. The score is capped by the legality failure: three Elfnote Lucina and three Ash Blossom exceed their copy limits and the deck has no side. Popularity (archetype usage stats) and card scores were not averaged or used as points; the result rests on the system's consistency and interaction estimates, and the final score is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Weak post-side plan (-3). Final formula: Illegal-deck cap applied: uncapped 0.80*Structural(63) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(60) + ContextModifiers(-9) = 53, capped at 35. Theoretical/structural-only; Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Archetype core is dense (26 copies), so the opening hand almost always has an Elfnote or Power Patron piece (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: three Solemn cards, Rhapsodia, and ten hand traps (Verified card text, Inferred coverage)
• Several independent routes after disruption: Regina, Medius, Fortuna and Mulcharmy (Inferred)
• High-ATK closing finish through Vidolium, Chaos Angel, Mediclius and Dragite (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Lucina and Ash Blossom exceed their copy limits (Verified)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptability (Verified)
• Tech and non-engine Spells dilute the Main Deck (Inferred)
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified absence)

Critical choke points

• Elfnote starter (Regina, Fortuna, Power Patron, Lucina): losing these to a first-turn hand trap or Nibiru-style disruption cuts the line (Inferred)
• Power Patron Link and Synchro bosses: a single removal on the boss ends the attack plan (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Elfnote Lucina 3 of 1 allowed, Ash Blossom 3 of 2 allowed (copy limits); Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Archetype usage: Elfnote core cards at high inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency: P(>=1 archetype core in hand5) 0.96; Hand-trap coverage on going-second hand6 0.71; Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power null; format fit D13 neutral 50 without dated meta; Median output D4 estimated from text only
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates side deck empty, so post-side evaluation is absent Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
