Eldlich Deck #775209 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord (3800 ATK) and other 3000-ATK Extra Deck bosses, reached through Zombie searches and Eldlich recursion (Inferred from card text); Pumpking the Great Ghost King and Call of the Haunted recursion loop (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or summon a Zombie starter, use Call of the Haunted or Eldlich recursion to reach a boss, and hold hand traps for the opponent's first response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Zombie engines (Inferred)
• Recovery: Ghost Belle and Ash Blossom protect the engine; Eldlich the Golden Lord and Call of the Haunted recur from the GY (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not available: side deck is empty, so no post-side plan can be scored

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its stronger parts are the interaction suite (13 hand traps, 15 negation-text and 16 removal-text cards) and a going-second hand-trap density that estimates to about 0.81 for at least one hand trap in six cards (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from Extra Deck bosses such as Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord and Mercurium, but no recorded boards exist, so conversion and median output are text-only inferences with low confidence. The engine is weak: exact archetype purity is 2.8%, the 56-card main holds 30 level-0 spell/trap slots and 21 tech cards, and the Eldlich core has only one copy. Popularity did not earn points; usage data shows Eldlich the Golden Lord and Droll & Lock Bird as common core cards, but that only confirms the list is real. The list is Illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies, Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden), so it is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read, and the empty side deck keeps post-side adaptability near zero.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); weak post-side plan (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(47.9) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46.3; modifiers -11 gives 35.3; Illegal list caps the final score at 30 (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (13 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards) with strong going-second coverage
• Several searchers and redundant starters (Delta of Invitation, Hubrow, Ectoplasmic Fortification, Eldlich)
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses (Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord 3800, Mercurium 3000, Nibiru 3000)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom at 3 copies and Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden) in the main deck
• Very low archetype purity (2.8%) with 69 off-archetype copies, so the engine is diluted
• 30 level-0 spell/trap slots and 21 tech cards in a 56-card main deck
• Empty side deck: no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Eldlich the Golden Lord is a single copy and the main engine (52.9% core inclusion); losing it removes the Eldlich boss route
• Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird are the only interruption against common going-second lines, and each is one-of or limited

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 56, Extra 15, Side 0 (within 40-60, 0-15, 0-15 size rules); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run at 3 copies against Semi-Limited limit 2; Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden and run at 1 copy; Eldlich the Golden Lord core inclusion 52.9%
• Inferred: Searcher access P about 0.80 in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap access P about 0.81 in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction density from card text (13 hand traps, 15 negation, 16 removal); Toolbox strategy classification; Brick-rate and pilot-load estimates
• Provisional: Median output and matchup fit (no recorded boards, no dated meta sample); Meta Power (null)
• 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 absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second and brick/starter rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
