Elfnote Deck #774515 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• 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 Synchro/Link boards (Elfnote June Pride and Seraphim Strelitzia are absent from this list; the Extra Deck is Link, Synchro, Xyz and Fusion pieces) converting into pressure from Elfnote and Power Patron monsters; Vidolium the Unstable Power Patron of Unity (5000 ATK Pendulum) as a single-card threat
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Elfnote starter (Power Patron, Lucina, Regina or Fortuna) and use its search or Special Summon text to extend toward a Synchro or Link; the 0.986 archetype-core hand probability is an Inferred estimate
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Skull Meister, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then extend through Elfnote revival
• Recovery: Rebuild through Elfnote searchers in the Deck and recursion from the GY (Theorealize, Medius the Pure, Elfnote Regina self-summon), supported by Ars Magna and Power Patron pieces
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty, so no post-side plan can be read from this list

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal list, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped low: Lucina is run 3 copies against a limit of 1 and Ash Blossom 3 against a limit of 2. The engine itself is coherent, with 31 archetype-core copies giving a 0.986 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 13 hand traps, 8 negation-text cards and 24 removal-text cards (Inferred from text). Brick risk, the 29-card distinct main, the absence of combo recordings and the empty side deck pull the score down. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage stats confirm the core is real but do not make the list strong, and the score was built from the system, not by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 47. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4); Illegal list cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(47) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 39, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only)

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

• Dense interaction: 13 hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Archetype core is highly accessible: 0.986 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card hand
• Synchro and Link Extra Deck coverage with multiple enablers

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on Lucina and Ash Blossom
• Empty side deck, so no post-side plan
• 29 distinct main cards with many tech slots lowers compactness
• No recorded combos, so the floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Elfnote Lucina and Ash Blossom copy counts must be reduced before the list is legal
• The Elfnote summon chain depends on specific Synchro and Link enablers in the Extra Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Lucina 3 copies vs limit 1, Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2; Main 56 (legal range 40-60), Extra 15 (legal range 0-15), Side 0 (legal range 0-15); Card text and banlist statuses for all listed cards
• Inferred: Engine consistency (0.986 archetype-core probability); Hand-trap interaction density; Brick risk and compactness; Going-first and going-second plans
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Side deck is empty: post-side adaptability is unevaluable Meta Power is Provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied
