Meklord Deck #508407 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento Extra Deck boss monsters (Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementotlan Twin Dragon, Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation) reached through Memento recursion and searchers; Link Monsters (World Gears of Theurlogical Demiurgy, Underworld Goddess of the Closed World) once the board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Memento searcher or starter (Mementotlan Angwitch, Mementotlan Ghattic, Mementotlan Bone Party), search a Memento follow-up, and build toward a boss monster through the GY-recursion lines (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 11 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Memento GY recursion (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Memento monsters that Special Summon or add other Memento cards from the GY (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0)

Why it scores here

This OCG list is illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, Maxx C is run twice against a Limited limit of one, and Called by the Grave is run twice although it is Forbidden, so the structural read below is theoretical only and the final score is capped. The deck's system is a Memento recursion engine: 14 searcher-text cards and 11 hand traps give it redundant starts and disruption, and its Extra Deck (Creation King, Twin Dragon, Combined Creation, plus Link Monsters) supplies the closing power. The combo evidence is empty, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and no win rate or meta share supports any claim. The archetype label reads Meklord, but no Meklord card is in the list and the dominant sub-archetype is Memento (24 copies), so the score reflects the system actually built and no card scores were averaged. Popularity or meta share earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; strategy is not clear from the evidence and combo data is absent). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no combo evidence (-4); no side deck (0); illegal cap (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: uncapped 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-12) ≈ 38, capped to 30 for copy-limit and Forbidden-card violations (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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

• 14 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a functional opening
• 11 hand traps and layered negation/removal text give strong early disruption
• Memento GY recursion regenerates resources after exchanges
• Boss monsters at 2800 to 5000 ATK give closing power

Weaknesses

• The list is illegal in OCG: copy-limit violations and a Forbidden card
• Exact-name archetype purity is 0%; the engine mixes Memento with other sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so post-side adaptability is absent
• No recorded combos, so consistency and conversion claims are unverified

Critical choke points

• Any Memento starter that is not drawn leaves a searcher-dependent line with no alternative
• Forbidden and over-limit cards must be removed before the deck can be played in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 42 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; three copy-limit/Forbidden violations; Card text and stats for the listed Memento cards; Archetype spread: Memento 24, exact-name purity 0%
• Inferred: Starter and searcher probabilities (hypergeometric); Hand-trap and interaction density from text flags; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null and the archetype label (Meklord) does not match the list's dominant Memento sub-archetype
