Destiny Heros Deck #750381 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Graveyard-centric, Link/Fusion/Xyz
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 27 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck pressure from high-ATK bodies (Underworld Goddess 3000 ATK link, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer 2500 ATK, Vision HERO Adoration 2800 ATK), enabled by a Destiny HERO monster engine (Inferred from card text); Dread Decimator piercing damage and Cross Crusader GY revival of a Destiny HERO (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Hand-start Destiny HERO - Denier, Elemental HERO Stratos, Vision HERO Faris or Vision HERO Vyon, then use Vyon's Polymerization search and Extra-Deck summons (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open a hand trap (Droll & Lock Bird, Artifact Lancea, Ghost Belle; about 87% for at least one in six cards) and use Forbidden Droplet or Destiny HERO - Plasma to contest the board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Destiny HERO - Malicious and Destiny HERO - Dreamer from the GY, revive a Destiny HERO with Xtra HERO Cross Crusader, and banish Fusion Substitute from the GY to draw (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 side cards), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Destiny HERO engine, but the hand starters are concentrated in five copies (two Denier, Stratos, Faris, Vyon), which gives roughly a two-in-three chance of at least one starter going first and about three-in-four going second (hypergeometric estimate, Inferred). Its three Destiny HERO - Malicious and Dreamer are graveyard-only effects, so they are bricks in hand, and Dreadmaster and Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis are near-dead cards in this list. Interaction is the system's strength: seven hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Destiny HERO - Plasma, and Underworld Goddess give a layered answer to an opposing board, and recursion adds some grind. Popularity and the guide's claim that the archetype is top-tier earned no points, since no dated meta sample exists, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score. The final 50 reflects a Medium-confidence structural read with no recorded combo boards.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Dead Extra-Deck and summon-route cards (-3); Engine conflict from Droll & Lock Bird (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(56.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + Modifiers(-5) = 49.9, rounded to 50 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.67 · 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

• Seven hand traps and a layered negation set (Forbidden Droplet x3, Plasma, Ghost Belle, Lancea, Goddess) give strong interaction
• Extra-Deck bodies at 2500 to 3000 ATK provide closing pressure
• Multiple graveyard recursion routes (Malicious, Dreamer, Cross Crusader, Fusion Substitute) support resilience
• Legal in Duel Links with no restricted cards

Weaknesses

• Three Malicious and one Dreamer are graveyard-only, so they are bricks in hand
• Dreadmaster and TY-PHON Sky Crisis are near-dead in this list
• Droll & Lock Bird x3 conflicts with the deck's own search and draw lines
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Hand starters are five copies (Denier x2, Stratos, Faris, Vyon); missing them leaves Malicious and Dreamer dead in hand
• Extra-Deck summons depend on Destiny HERO and HERO monsters already on the field, so a single board break ends the line

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Duel Links: 27 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side within the size rules; no restricted or banned cards; Card text and stats as read from the evidence excerpts; Extra-Deck link/fusion/Xyz counts (5/3/1) match the Extra cards
• Observed: Archetype usage statistics: Liquid Soldier 100% (absent), Effect Veiler 57% (absent), Fusion Substitute 57% (present)
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric estimates (about 0.67 going first, 0.75 going second); Dead-card assessment for TY-PHON and Dreadmaster from level and summon-route data; Droll self-conflict and graveyard-only brick risk for Malicious and Dreamer; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Tier claim in guide 582 (top-tier at the time of writing) is unverified and undated; Matchup fit (D13) has no dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics.in_this_deck is false for extra-deck cards that the deck does contain (Xtra HERO Wonder Driver, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Underworld Goddess, Dread Decimator, Adoration, Cross Crusader, TY-PHON); the missing_core list is therefore overstated and core_present_pct is understated (evidence bug) No side deck registered, so D12 is provisional No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Deck title is null; guide snippets are partial Vietnamese excerpts and undated
