Elfnote Deck #774550 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Elfnote board of Synchro/Link beaters (Elfnote June Pride, Seraphim Strelitzia, Mediclius, Vidolium) backed by Power Patron and Ars Magna recursion; Ars Magna / Medius Power Patron Link pressure through the Theorealize and Ars Magna lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner or Elfnote starter (Lucina, Regina, Fortuna, Power Patron) and extend through Medius, Junoldo or Theorealize into a Synchro or Link board (Inferred, text-based; no recorded combos)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 15 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's board, then rebuild through the Elfnote Extra Deck beaters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY via Regina, Medius and Theorealized Medius, plus Ars Magna banish-and-search effects (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This list is evaluated as an illegal, theoretical build. It runs 3 copies of Elfnote Lucina (limit 1) and 3 copies of Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring (limit 2), and it has 16 Extra Deck cards against a TCG maximum of 15. The core Elfnote and Power Patron starters are reliably accessible in the opening hand (archetype core P(at least one in 5) about 0.97, Inferred from hypergeometric estimates), and the 15 hand traps plus the negation text give strong interaction density on the system. Its combo ceiling and median output are text-inferred only because no recorded boards exist, so the offensive score rests on the Extra Deck beaters rather than on any observed line. The score comes from consistency, interaction and the connected Elfnote/Power Patron engine, not from the archetype's popularity and not from averaging the individual card scores. Because the deck is illegal, the final score is capped at 25 and the normal contextual formula is not applied.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Stun-weighted interaction read (secondary considered in D7/D8 scoring; weights are Midrange only). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: illegal_list_cap (0); no Side Deck (0). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: uncapped estimate is 0.80*55 + 0.20*48 = 54 (Meta provisional); score capped at 25 per the Illegal rule (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Core archetype starters are highly accessible in the opening hand (Inferred, about 0.97)
• Dense interaction: 15 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards (Verified flags, Inferred semantic read)
• Multiple independent starters and GY recursion give route redundancy (Inferred)
• Extra Deck contains several closing Synchro/Link beaters (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Extra Deck 16 > 15 and two copy-limit violations (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Low archetype purity (18.1% exact name) with many Level-0 spells/traps and off-archetype copies (Verified)
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Elfnote starter access depends on a few 3-copy starters (Lucina, Regina); their illegal counts make the list unplayable as is
• Extra Deck over limit means one Extra card must go before the list can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Extra Deck 16 > 15; Elfnote Lucina 3 copies vs limit 1; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2; Main Deck count 56 within the 40-60 range; Side Deck count 0; Card text flags: 15 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards; Usage stats: Ash Blossom and Mulcharmy Fuwalos at 100% inclusion; 15 of 25 core cards present
• Inferred: Archetype core P(>=1 in 5) about 0.97 from hypergeometric estimates; Going-second hand-trap availability about 0.86; Power and interaction ratings from card-text reads; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta standing and matchup fit (no dated sample, 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 record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck empty (0 cards), so no post-side evidence
