Memento Deck #721639 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Memento — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 68/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: none
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon boss monsters (Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation, Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King) and overwhelm with high-ATK beaters; Disrupt opponent with hand traps and removal via splash engines
• Turn 1 (going first): One-card combo using Memento starters to Fusion Summon and establish board with S:P Little Knight / Predaplant Dragostapelia interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Maxx C) and board breakers (The Fallen & The Virtuous, Called by the Grave) to break and punish
• Recovery: Mementomictlan field spell and Ghattic/Mace recursion to rebuild after disruption
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards) – cannot adapt in best-of-3

Why it scores here

The deck is a Memento combo system that opens reliably because the archetype core (28 copies) has P(open ≥1)=0.9988 (Inferred), enabling one-card combos via Angwitch, Tatsunootoshigo, or Bone Party. It converts starters into Fusion Summons (Creation King, Twin Dragon) and generic link/fusion splashes (S:P Little Knight, Guardian Chimera) for removal and negation, though median output is moderate rather than explosive. Resilience is aided by self-destruction recursion and the field spell, but the extra deck includes several generic splashes that can be dead without specific materials. The deck carries hand traps and Mulcharmy for going-second, but lacks a side deck entirely, hurting post-side adaptability. Popularity of Memento did not earn points; the score reflects system consistency, median output, and interaction, not card averages.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 70, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 64. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Garnet burden (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High consistency with 28 core copies
• One-card combo potential via multiple starters
• Good recursion and field spell recovery

Weaknesses

• No side deck
• Extra deck includes conditional generic splashes
• Limited inherent negation in archetype

Critical choke points

• Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation requires 5 names
• Reliance on Fusion Summon against disruption

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Legal; Card text for Memento monsters; Extra deck breakdown 8 fusion 6 link 1 synchro
• Observed: No parsed combos (total combos 0)
• Inferred: P(≥1 core)=0.9988 from hypergeometric; Median combo output moderate; Going-second hand trap probability 0.49
• Provisional: Matchup format fit without metagame; Meta Power
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
