Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Extra Deck Synchro and Link beaters (Elfnote June Pride, Junora, Vidolium-driven Power Patron boards) converting a stable Elfnote or Medius board into attacks; Ars Magna Link-ATK multipliers and Medius/Theorealize recursion pressure
- Turn 1 (going first): Opening Elfnote or Medius searchers to make a centre-zone monster, then Synchro or Link into a board, protected by Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird) to interrupt the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Elfnote Regina and Medius recursion
- Recovery: Elfnote and Ars Magna searchers from Deck plus GY recursion (Medius the Pure, Theorealize Past Lull) to rebuild after a hand-trap or board wipe
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens a searcher in the opening hand (P(at least one searcher in 5) ≈ 0.99, Inferred from the hypergeometric table) and has enough hand traps and negations to interrupt a first summon, which keeps the structural score in the low 50s. The score is held down by the deck's structure rather than its card power: only 4 of 40 Main Deck copies match the exact Medius archetype name, so the 40 cards split across Elfnote, Ars Magna, Power Patron, Mulcharmy and other sub-archetypes, and no recorded boards exist to show the ceiling or median output. The deck is also illegal in its format (3 copies of Elfnote Lucina against a limit of 1, and 3 copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of 2) and runs no Side Deck, so the Final Contextual score is theoretical and capped low. Popularity and meta-share did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 58 | P(≥1 searcher in 5) ≈ 0.99; Elfnote and Medius lines are reachable, but the engine spans several sub-archetypes (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | 22 distinct Main Deck cards with 8 three-copy slots; Ash Blossom and Lucina are over limit, and several Elfnote-only cards are dead outside that engine (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | No parseable boards; the Power Patron Link and Ars Magna ceiling is inferred from card text only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | combos_evidence has total_combos 0, so the median is not measurable and is set by text inference only (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 52 | Seven hand traps and Mulcharmy give more than one interruption route, but the Power Patron line depends on few payoffs (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | 23 searcher-text cards and recursion from Medius and Theorealize give strong regrowth (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 65 | 7 negation-text cards and 16 removal-text cards give broad interaction with no floodgates (Inferred from text, flags verified) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Hand traps are live in 71% of going-second six-card hands (Inferred); board-breaking is text-only |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 58 | Vidolium at 5000 ATK and Synchro 3100-ATK bosses give closing power, but no end-board data exists (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 40 | Only 4 of 40 cards match the exact archetype name (7.3% purity, 51 off-archetype copies), so coherence is weak (Verified structure, Inferred consequence) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | Extra Deck is 10 Synchro, 3 Link, 1 Xyz and 1 Fusion, with several bosses playable from one Main Deck engine (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 20 | No Side Deck is run, so there is no post-side plan (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; the Illegal list blocks a format read (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 30 | Many decision points across several sub-archetypes and interactive hand traps; error tolerance is low (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 50.1 before modifiers; Illegal deck, so the theoretical score is capped at 38 after modifiers
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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
- Searcher density (23 searcher-text cards) makes the opening hand reliably functional
- Seven hand traps plus negation and removal text give strong interaction breadth
- Extra Deck has multiple bosses and Link/Synchro routes for conversion
Weaknesses
- Illegal in the TCG format: two cards exceed their copy limits
- Low archetype purity (7.3%) means the engines compete for slots
- No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
- No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
Critical choke points
- Elfnote summon chain in the Main Monster Zone (Lucina, Regina, Fortuna) as the main board source
- Single Medius and Power Patron Link route for Extra Deck boards
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 copy of Elfnote Lucina | 1 legal copy of a non-Limited Elfnote or Medius searcher | Brings the list under the copy limit without losing the Elfnote searcher function |
| 2 | 1 copy of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring | Ash Blossom at 2 copies, or a non-limited hand trap | Ash Blossom is Semi-Limited at 2; the third copy is illegal |
| 3 | Off-archetype tech slots | A Side Deck of 0-15 cards | Adds post-side adaptability, which the deck currently lacks |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal status: Elfnote Lucina 3/1 and Ash Blossom 3/2 copy limits exceeded; Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 (within TCG size rules); Exact archetype purity 4/55 Main cards (7.3%); Extra Deck composition: 10 Synchro, 3 Link, 1 Xyz, 1 Fusion
- Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in 5 cards) ≈ 0.99; Hand-trap presence in 71% of going-second six-card hands; Midrange structural profile
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit (D13) because no tournament data exists
- 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 match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) No Side Deck, so post-side evaluation is not possible Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
