Memento Deck #652248 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento one-card combo into Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK) or Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (3000 ATK) Fusion/Special Summon lines (text-based, Inferred); Mementotlan Twin Dragon and Mementotlan-Horned Dragon recursion-based board presence (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Memento monsters with Mementotlan Angwitch / Dark Blade / Bone Party searches, then Mementomictlan or Mementotlan Fusion into a Memento Fusion Monster (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler) to interrupt the opponent's opening, then recover through Memento GY recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Return Memento monsters from the GY via Mementotlan Ghattic, Akihiron and Mementomictlan, then rebuild with Fusion or Link summons (Inferred)
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck in use (Side Deck size 0), so post-side adaptation is unavailable (Provisional)

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: the 25-copy Memento core gives a near-certain Memento monster in a 5-card opening hand (about 99.5% by hypergeometric estimate, Inferred), and 13 searcher-text cards add redundancy. Its conversion comes from one-card combo lines that reach Memento Fusion and Tecuhtlica boss monsters, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference only. Six hand traps and 10 negation-text cards give it good interaction and recovery through Memento GY recursion. The score is capped low because the list is illegal: Super Polymerization runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not added to the score, and card power scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65.3, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-20); Archetype purity and engine dilution (-4); Hard-garnet burden (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-28) = 35.8, rounded to 36; capped as Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 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

• Core Memento engine is almost always accessible in the opening hand
• Layered interaction from hand traps, negation text and removal text
• GY recursion gives resource regeneration after disruption
• High-ceiling Fusion payoffs (5000 ATK Tecuhtlica, 2850 ATK Horned Dragon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Super Polymerization over its Semi-Limited copy limit
• Low exact archetype purity (43.6%) with many off-archetype staples
• Bricks required by the build reduce hand quality
• No recorded boards to confirm the combo floor or median

Critical choke points

• Super Polymerization copies must drop to 2 before the list is legal
• Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation is a single payoff copy that requires 5 Memento monsters in hand or GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 counts are within the Master Duel size rules; Super Polymerization runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Archetype core group has 25 copies and P(at least one in 5) of 0.9954; Card text and stats for the Memento payoffs
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates; Combo ceiling from card text; Interaction density from text tags; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit; Side-deck adaptability (no side deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
