Destiny Heros Deck #750390 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Fusion boss pressure (Vision HERO Adoration, Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Xtra HERO Dread Decimator) built from HERO recursion through the Destiny HERO and Vision HERO engines; Stall the opponent's board with Dark Hole, Floodgate Trap Hole and Solemn Scolding, then convert with Destiny HERO - Plasma and Elemental HERO Stratos
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Destiny HERO or Vision HERO starter (Faris, Denier, Stratos, Vyon) and search or recur a Destiny HERO into a Link or Fusion boss; hold Solemn Scolding or Warning Point for the first summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Dark Hole, Floodgate Trap Hole or Plasma's negation to clear the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Malicious and Denier recursion into a Destroyer Phoenix or Adoration
• Recovery: Malicious and Dreamer recur from the GY, Vision HERO Increase returns as a Continuous Trap, Hey, Trunade! resets Set backrow, and Vyon banishes a HERO from the GY to add Polymerization
• After siding: No side deck exists in Duel Links, so there is no post-side plan; adaptation is limited to in-game sequencing

Why it scores here

The deck reliably reaches a live HERO engine: the archetype core group has P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.99, and the hand-starter cards (Malicious x3, Stratos x2, Denier x2, Faris) give a 0.17 to 0.43 chance each of appearing in the opening hand (Inferred). Its strongest dimension is end-board interaction and closing power, since Dark Hole x2, Floodgate Trap Hole, Warning Point, Solemn Scolding x3, Mind Drain and Plasma's negation sit alongside high-ATK bosses such as Adoration (2800) and Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer (2500). Its weaknesses are brick risk from one-off cards that need missing support (Dreadmaster needs Clock Tower Prison, which is absent) and the lack of any recorded board data, which pulls the floor and median dimensions down. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power measured on the system as a whole; popularity of the Destiny HERO archetype did not add points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Control secondary used only for interaction weighting (D7), not as a separate profile blend. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Engine conflict (Dark Hole x2 self-friction) (-2); Dead card without support (Dreadmaster) (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*60.08 + 0.20*55 - 3 = 56.06

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Compact HERO core with 17 archetype cards and near-certain core presence in the opening
• Interaction stack of Dark Hole x2, Solemn Scolding x3, Floodgate Trap Hole, Warning Point and Plasma negation
• High-ATK Link and Fusion bosses with recursion routes through the GY

Weaknesses

• No recorded combo boards, so floor and median output are unverified
• Dreadmaster is dead without Clock Tower Prison, and Underworld Goddess and Ty-Phon are hard to summon
• Dark Hole and self-friction reduce board consistency for the deck's own monsters

Critical choke points

• Hand starter access depends on single copies of Faris and two copies of Stratos and Denier, so a missed starter leaves only Malicious from the GY
• Mind Drain costs 1000 LP and Solemn Scolding costs 3000 LP, so interaction is LP-gated in a long game

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in duel-links: 30 main, 9 extra, 0 side; Mind Drain Limited at 1 copy and Hey, Trunade! Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Archetype spread and copy histogram from the deck list; Card text and ATK/DEF values from the resolved card data; Archetype core usage stat: 17 copies in deck, 100% inclusion for core members
• Inferred: Hand-starter access estimates from the hypergeometric table; Interaction quality from the negation and removal text hints; Going-first and going-second power estimates from the component dimensions; Tournament reliability composed from D1, D2, D5, D6, D12 and D14
• Provisional: Meta power is null with no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) and the side-deck dimension (D12) have no measured data; Median output (D4) has no recorded boards
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate, going-first/second, matchup or brick-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck exists in Duel Links, so post-side dimensions are unscored by evidence
