Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Power Patron / Medius / Ars Magna board-building into Link and Synchro boss monsters (Mediclius, Junora, Vidolium, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord); Extra-Deck Link and Synchro pressure from Medius and Ars Magna recursion; Mulcharmy draw-engine chip damage
  • Turn 1 (going first): Search a Medius or Power Patron starter with the searcher text, use Ars Magna and Theorealize to rebuild a Link or Synchro boss, and protect the line with Ash Blossom, Solemn Judgment or Droll & Lock Bird
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Droll, Artifact Lancea, Nibiru) and Raigeki or Lightning Storm to break the opponent's board, then rebuild through Medius recursion
  • Recovery: Medius the Pure and Theorealized Medius recur from the GY and banishment, and Ars Magna monsters recur through their banish effects
  • After siding: Not applicable: the deck registers no side deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of card scores. Its starters are reasonably reachable: searcher text is present in 22 cards and the probability of at least one searcher in an opening 5-card hand is about 0.93 (Inferred), and the Medius and Power Patron engine has recursion through the GY and banishment. Its strongest scoring area is interaction density (Ash Blossom, Solemn Judgment, Droll and Lock Bird, Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster and Metaltronus), which lifts end-board and going-second board-breaking. The deck is held back by weak archetype coherence (exact-name purity 2.9%, with 68 off-archetype copies and only 36 percent of core Elfnote cards present), nine single-copy tech and brick-prone slots, and an empty side deck. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage data supports the list as real but does not make it strong. The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2), so the final score is capped at a theoretical value.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 45 P(at least 1 Medius in 5-card hand) is about 0.25 per copy count and searcher text reaches 0.93, but the starter set spans three engines; the engine is not unified (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 40 18 singles and 9 triple-copy slots with many situational tech cards (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Feather Duster, Metaltronus) create a moderate-to-high brick rate; no combo data to confirm (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 50 Ceiling read from card text: Medius recursion, Ars Magna banish-searches and Link/Synchro bosses can chain into a large board, but no recorded boards exist (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 35 No recorded boards, so the floor and median are unknown and held near the midpoint, with a low-confidence penalty (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Nine hand traps and multiple independent starters give several recovery routes after a single disruption, though most routes depend on the same Medius package (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 55 Recursion from GY and banishment (Medius, Theorealized Medius, Ars Magna) and 22 searcher-text cards give a reasonable grind profile (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 75 Interaction density is high: 9 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards and 36 removal-text cards, with layered Solemn and Ash protection (Inferred from role flags and text)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 62 Going-second board breaking is strong through Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Feather Duster and Nibiru, although the board-breakers are single copies (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 60 High-ATK closers exist (Vidolium 5000 ATK, Junora 3100, Mediclius 3000 with negation, Galaxy-Eyes 2500), but link-based closing depends on the same engine chain (Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 55 Main Deck cards with 32 distinct names and only 2.9 percent exact-archetype purity; 18 singletons dilute consistency (Verified structure, Inferred consequence)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 55 Extra Deck is fully used (7 Link, 3 Synchro, 1 Xyz, 4 Fusion) and covers several routes, but has no structured summon-access evidence (Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 15 Zero side deck cards, so there is no post-side adaptation at all (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 45 No dated metagame sample and no tournament link; archetype meta-share not available, so this is Provisional
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 35 Several Link and Synchro chains plus three-engine sequencing and up to four decision points per turn make the deck hard to pilot consistently (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (about 80/20 by weight; Toolbox dimensions not separately weighted). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: none. Final formula: Structural = 49.9 (Midrange weights). Standard formula would give 0.80*49.9 + 0.20*40 = 48. Illegal status applies a theoretical cap: final = 30 (structural-only read, not a normal Final). Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

  • Dense interaction suite with layered negates and removal
  • Multiple searchers and recursion routes for the Medius and Ars Magna package
  • Extra Deck covers Link, Synchro and Fusion boss options

Weaknesses

  • Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom (3 vs 2)
  • Three engines (Power Patron, Medius, Ars Magna) and low archetype purity
  • No side deck
  • Many single-copy tech and situational cards that raise brick rate

Critical choke points

  • Medius the Pure must be on the field or in the GY for most engine lines
  • Ash Blossom at 3 copies is illegal and must be cut to 2 before the list is playable in-format
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 1 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 1 non-engine staple or a tech card that fits the Medius package Brings the list into the Semi-Limited copy limit so it can be scored normally
2 Some single-copy tech cards (e.g. Harpie's Feather Duster) Side-deck cards (0 registered now) Gives the deck a post-side plan; D12 scores 15 with no side deck
3 Off-archetype copies (68 of 70) Core Elfnote and Power Patron cards from the usage stats (for example Elfnote Regina, Elfnote Lucina) Raises archetype coherence, which is the main weakness in D10 and D1

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2 (illegal); Exact-name archetype purity is 2.9 percent; 68 off-archetype copies; No side deck is registered; Usage stats show 9 of 25 core cards present (36 percent)
  • Inferred: Starter access about 0.93 for searcher text and 0.25 for a Medius copy in 5-card hand; Brick risk from single-copy tech cards; Interaction density is high from role flags and card text; Going-first and going-second splits are approximations from text
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
  • 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 are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck has no side deck, so D12 has no performance evidence
