Destiny Heros Deck #750814 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Fusion/Link
• Format: duel-links

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link boss pressure (Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Xtra HERO Dread Decimator, Vision HERO Adoration) built from Destiny HERO and Elemental HERO bodies; Hand-trap-protected going-second boards that recur Destiny HERO monsters from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Destiny HERO starter (Malicious, Denier, Dreamer, Vyon) and use search and recursion to reach a Fusion or Link boss; hold Droll or Lancea for the first add from the Main Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 7 hand traps (Droll and Lock Bird, Artifact Lancea, Ghost Belle) to stop the opponent's first search or summon, then rebuild with Vyon and Malicious
• Recovery: Banish HERO monsters from the GY for Vyon and Fusion Destiny, and recur Malicious and Dreamer from the GY to rebuild the board
• After siding: Not applicable: the Duel Links format has no Side Deck in this export (Side Deck size 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an archetype starter: the Destiny HERO core is dense, Malicious runs 3 copies with about a 47% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype core group is almost never absent from the opening hand. Its strongest interaction is the seven hand traps (Droll and Lock Bird x3, Artifact Lancea x2, Ghost Belle x2), which give about an 87% chance of at least one in a going-second 6-card hand, and this drives the going-second score. Conversion to a board is credible but unmeasured: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median come from card text and are inferred. Points are not awarded for popularity (the Vietnamese guides call the deck tier 1, which is not verifiable here), and the score comes from consistency, median output, and interaction on the system, not from averaging card scores. The deck loses points for one dead Extra Deck slot (Super Starslayer TY-PHON needs two Level 12 monsters, and the Main Deck has none), for the Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode brick risk (3 tributes), and for the lack of any post-side or matchup evidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 100% Midrange (primary only); Combo secondary is discussed in the narrative and not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Dead Extra Deck slot (-3); No post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (no dated metagame; Meta provisional). 0.80*62.7 + 0.20*60 - 5 = 57.1

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.47 · 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

• Dense archetype core: Malicious x3, Denier x2, Plasma x2, Dreamer, Vyon, Stratos all present
• Seven hand traps, about 87% chance of at least one in a going-second hand
• Legal Duel Links list with 27 Main and 9 Extra, copy limits respected
• Multiple Fusion and Link boss routes (Adoration, Dread Decimator, Phoenix Enforcer, Cross Crusader, Wonder Driver)

Weaknesses

• Super Starslayer TY-PHON is a dead Extra Deck slot (no Level 12 monsters)
• Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode needs 3 tributes and is a brick risk
• No Side Deck or post-side plan in this format
• No recorded boards, so combo conversion is unverified
• Several Extra cards conflict with usage-stat in this deck flags (see data gaps)

Critical choke points

• Opening on Malicious or Denier: the archetype engine needs a starter, and each single starter copy has under 20% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand
• Going first with no hand trap: the hand-trap package is reactive and sits in only 7 cards of 27

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal Duel Links list: 27 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side; no banned or over-limit cards (BanDuelLink); Super Starslayer TY-PHON requires two Level 12 monsters; Sphere Mode is Level 10; Malicious P(>=1 in 5-card hand) = 0.4735; hand-trap P(>=1 in 6-card hand) = 0.8691
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick risk from hypergeometric probabilities and card text; Ceiling and median output from card text only; no boards recorded; Interaction density and going-second strength from hand-trap count and text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability uses no tournament data
• 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 absent usage statistics in this deck flags disagree with the cards list for Underworld Goddess, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Xtra HERO Dread Decimator, Xtra HERO Cross Crusader, Xtra HERO Wonder Driver and Vision HERO Adoration; the cards list was treated as authoritative, so missing core cards and core-card presence (57.1%) are not relied on No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, starter or brick rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck data for a Duel Links list
