Elfnote Deck #774044 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote and Power Patron board pressure: Lucina, Regina, Fortuna and Vidolium (5000 ATK) with Power Patron link and Ars Magna support; Synchro and Link boards (Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Mediclius, Purification Power Patron) if the starter lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Elfnote starter (Power Patron, Lucina, Regina or Fortuna) plus a searcher, then extend into a Synchro or Link board while Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre protect the line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Skull Meister, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird) to break the opponent's opening, then rebuild a board from Mulcharmy draw and Elfnote recursion
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw into hand, Theorealize Past Lull and Theorealized Medius re-summon from the Deck or GY, and Ars Magna monsters recur from banish
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck supplies no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an Elfnote or Mulcharmy starter: the archetype core group gives about 96% at least one hit in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the searcher text group about 93%. Its hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Skull Meister, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird) give real interaction, especially going second, where at least one hand trap in 6 cards is about 81% (Inferred). Its Synchro and Link Extra Deck covers the board-conversion step. The score is capped because the list is illegal: Elfnote Lucina is run 3 times against a limit of 1 and Ash Blossom is run 3 times against a limit of 2. There is no combo data, no tournament link and no side deck, so the floor and median are estimated from text only. The score comes from the system's redundancy and interaction, not from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Copy-limit and banlist violation (-8); No side deck (-4); Illegal cap (0). Final formula: Unrounded 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-12) = 40; capped at 30 because the list is Illegal. Theoretical / structural-only score; Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Redundant archetype starters (Power Patron, Lucina, Regina, Fortuna) with multiple 3-copy routes
• Large hand-trap suite (13 cards) giving strong going-second interaction
• Mulcharmy draw and Theorealize recursion sustain card flow after disruption
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Link, Xyz and Fusion, giving board options

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two cards exceed their TCG copy limits
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity (19.7%) and many generic tech cards dilute the engine
• High pilot complexity from chained hand traps and Pendulum/Synchro sequencing

Critical choke points

• Legality: must cut Lucina to 1 copy and Ash Blossom to 2 copies before the list is playable
• Starter access: each 3-copy starter is only about 25% in a 5-card opening hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Lucina 3 copies vs limit 1, Ash Blossom 3 vs limit 2; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0; Main within 40-60 and Extra within 0-15; Archetype exact-name purity 19.7% (14 of 71 relevant copies); Banlist statuses for Droll and Lock Bird, Lucina, Terminus, S:P Little Knight, Ash Blossom
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access from hypergeometric draw odds; Hand-trap interaction density and going-second value from card text; Redundancy of independent lines from starter diversity in text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Floor and median output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo 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 and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown No side deck supplied; post-side dimensions are unscored (set low) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
