Destiny Heros Deck #730516 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Control
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon boss monsters (Plasma, Dogma, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer) for negation and pressure; Link recursion chains via Cross Crusader for grind and resource recycling
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Malicious/Vyon mill-search chain into Fusion Destiny or Fusion Substitute, summon Plasma or Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, hold hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Droll & Lock Bird to interrupt opponent search; Dark Ruler No More to negate board; attempt Fusion Destiny rebuild if resources permit
• Recovery: Malicious banish-recycle from GY; Vyon search chain resets; Cross Crusader Link recursion for additional summons
• After siding: No side deck available (0 cards) – critical weakness; theoretical post-side would tune hand traps and removal based on matchups

Why it scores here

This Destiny HERO Fusion combo deck opens with near-optimal core consistency (99.4% P(≥1 starter)), reliably producing a Fusion board with Plasma negation or Destroyer passive removal by turn 1. The median combo output is solid but not explosive—typically one Fusion summon plus removal backup, adequate for Duel Links tempo but lacking redundant negations of tier-1 decks. The deck's critical weakness is a zero-card side, eliminating best-of-3 post-side adaptation and severely hampering tournament viability; going-second is similarly weak, relying solely on Droll & Lock Bird and Dark Ruler No More. The score reflects the system as a connected whole: strong consistency and going-first power (D1 78, D3 68) offset by poor going-second (D8 48) and complete side-deck absence (D12 20), without averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Zero side deck (-6); Off-meta construction (-2). Final formula: 0.80·Structural (63) + 0.20·TournamentReliability (55) − 8 context modifiers (zero side deck −6, off-meta construction −2) = 53; Meta Provisional (no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.7 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Near-optimal core engine draw consistency (99.4% P(≥1 starter in hand 5))
• Solid going-first board via Plasma effect negation and Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer passive ATK reduction
• Efficient 30-card main deck construction with flexible Malicious/Vyon routing
• Hand-trap density (Droll & Lock 3x) plus Dark Ruler No More (3x) provides disruption backup
• Fusion material setup via Vyon mill-search chain enables turn-1 commitment

Weaknesses

• Zero side deck eliminates best-of-3 post-side tuning – critical weakness in tournament format
• Weak going-second power; only Droll & Lock Bird and Dark Ruler No More for board interaction outside main combo
• Fusion Destiny is a single chokepoint; hard negation = no board-generating play that turn
• Slow closing speed (~3–4 turns for Destroyer/Dogma clock, not OTK capable)
• Off-meta construction (68.4% core present) suggests variant or budget list; missing high-inclusion cards

Critical choke points

• Fusion Destiny negation – if Fusion spell is negated or not in hand, board generation stalls immediately
• Malicious GY access – if banish-from-GY is blocked (e.g., macro-cosmos-like effect), primary recursion chain breaks
• Tribute availability T1 – Plasma and Dogma require 3 tributes; bricked hand without setup = weak or no board
• Hand-trap draw variance – only 3 Droll & Lock in deck; if all three are drawn or opponent searches through, going-second adaptability collapses

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck legality: Legal status confirmed (30 main, 9 extra, 0 side within Duel Links size rules); Card text resolution: all 26 distinct cards resolved from card_id and description_excerpt; Banlist status: Destiny HERO - Dogma Limited (1 legal, 1 run); all others Unlimited; Hypergeometric draw probability: P(≥1 starter hand 5) = 0.9944 computed from copy counts; Archetype core coverage: 13/19 core cards present = 68.4%; Role tag counts: hand_trap 3, tech 6, negation_text 5, removal_text 11
• Observed: No measured combos or real boards supplied
• Inferred: D1 consistency 78: derived from P(≥1 starter) 0.9944 and core card presence; D2 brick risk 62: estimated from copy histogram and garnet density (Plasma/Dogma tributary requirements); D3 combo ceiling 68: inferred from card text (Fusion Destiny into Plasma/Destroyer) and Malicious → Vyon chain; D4 combo floor 56: estimated from typical 1-Fusion line and starter diversity routing; D5 resilience 54: computed from independent starter count (5 options) and GY recursion availability; D6 resource economy 52: estimated from advantage generation (Vyon net-0, Liquid Soldier +1, Cross Crusader +0) and grind potential; D7 interaction quality 65: derived from negation_text (Plasma, Dark Ruler) and removal_text (11 cards) counts plus layering estimate; D8 going-second power 48: estimated from hand_trap draw probability (Droll 50% hand 6) and board-breaker density; D9 offensive power 56: inferred from ATK values (Destroyer 2500, Dogma 3400) and closing-speed estimate (~3 turns); D10 main deck efficiency 71: computed from 30-card lean construction, slot ratio, and limited garnet density; D11 extra deck efficiency 64: analyzed from Link/Fusion coverage and Synchro underutilization (Malong); D12 side adaptability 20: derived from 0-card side deck constraint in best-of-3 format; D13 matchup format fit 58: inferred from Duel Links meta context (searcher-heavy, Fusion-friendly), guides citing Tier 1, no tournament data; D14 pilotability 61: estimated from combo sequencing complexity (4–5 decision points) and GY management precision
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (archetype cited Tier 1 in Vietnamese guides, but no dated metagame sample or tournament win rate provided); D13 matchup coverage 58: Duel Links format fit inferred; Meta Power cannot be assigned without dated sample
• Data gaps: No parsed combos (combos_evidence.scored_combos = 0); combo floor/median/ceiling entirely text-inferred, no measured board data No tournament context; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; Meta Power Provisional No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second matchup, brick rate, OTK rate) – performance signals Inferred or Unknown Zero side deck: best-of-3 post-side plan theoretical only; no real post-side performance data No Duel Links-specific format telemetry: turn-count, time-rule suitability, speed ranking relative to current tier list
