Elfnote Deck #774482 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote Synchro/Link beatdown: Elfnote June Pride, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Vidolium and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord converting board presence into attacks (text-only read, Inferred); Ars Magna / Power Patron Link recursion and Medius/Theorealize searches to keep the Extra Deck threats coming (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on an Elfnote starter (Power Patron, Regina, Lucina, Fortuna) or Ars Magna / Theorealize search, then Synchro or Link into a board with Elfnote Rhapsodia's attack lock (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Skull Meister, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's opening, then rebuild through Elfnote searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw cards when the hand is empty; Theorealize Past Lull and Medius recur Power Patron monsters from the GY (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is reasonably accessible: the Elfnote and Power Patron searchers hit at about 0.91 for at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype core is near-certain to appear (0.99), so the starters are often live on turns 1 and 2 (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with about 18 hand traps and negations (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Skull Meister, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) giving about 0.92 odds of at least one going second, which lifts D5 and D7 (Inferred). The deck is held back by its build: only 14 of 29 distinct main cards are single copies, 56 of 70 main cards are off-archetype, exact-name purity is 20%, and the list breaks TCG copy limits on Elfnote Lucina and Ash Blossom, so Legal status fails and the score is capped. No recorded boards, no median or ceiling data, and no side deck leave the combo conversion and post-side scores low. The Structural score of about 53 is theoretical only; the final 35 reflects the illegal list and is not a normal contextual score, and no card-average was used.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal: no normal Final score. Theoretical pre-cap value = 0.80*53 + 0.20*50 - 6 (modifiers) = ~46, capped at 35 for illegal copy limits. Meta provisional and excluded.

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

• Dense, accessible searchers and archetype core (Inferred from probabilities)
• About 18 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give layered going-second interaction (Inferred)
• Recursion through Mulcharmy and Theorealize/Medius (Inferred)
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with several boss-level Synchro and Link threats (Verified structure)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy limits on Elfnote Lucina (3 vs 1) and Ash Blossom (3 vs 2)
• Low exact-archetype purity (20%) and many single-copy slots
• No recorded combo data, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
• No side deck registered

Critical choke points

• Elfnote starters (Power Patron, Regina, Lucina, Fortuna): one of several starter groups, with no measured redundancy
• Synchro/Link Extra Deck summons depend on specific tuners and Extra-Deck material

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Elfnote Lucina 3 copies vs legal 1; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs legal 2; Main 55 and Extra 15, within the TCG size rules; Card text and banlist status for all listed cards
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: Elfnote Lucina, Regina, Fortuna and Ash Blossom are core cards in the archetype sample
• Inferred: Starter accessibility from hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap interaction density and going-second read from card text; Midrange strategy classification from composition and text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, or brick and starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered: post-side performance cannot be scored
