Destiny Heros Deck #751204 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link boss pressure (Vision HERO Adoration 2800, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon 2800, Destiny HERO - Plasma 1900 with equip ATK gain) backed by Destiny HERO searches and GY recursion; Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer and Xtra HERO Cross Crusader as Extra Deck pressure and recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Vision HERO Faris (discard a HERO) or Destiny HERO - Malicious / Elemental HERO Stratos to search, then extend through Vyon, Denier and Dreamer toward a Fusion or Link boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the three hand traps (D.D. Crow, Artifact Lancea, Effect Veiler) and Destiny HERO - Dark Angel negation to blunt the opponent's first turn, then rebuild a board through GY recursion
• Recovery: Destiny HERO - Dreamer and Vision HERO Increase recur from the GY; Destiny HERO - Decider and Vision HERO Vyon search again from the Deck
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no side deck (side_count 0 and size rule 0-9 is permissive but no sideboard is run)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a HERO engine: the archetype-core group has about 0.986 probability of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 3-copy searchers (Malicious, Stratos) give about 0.43 per hand. It converts that into Fusion and Link pressure through Vision HERO Adoration, Starving Venom and Destiny HERO - Plasma, with Dreamer and Increase providing GY recursion for a second wave. Interaction comes from three hand traps, Dark Angel, Forbidden Droplet, Solemn Scolding and Plasma's negation, which score as Inferred strength rather than measured win data. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction at the system level; the deck's popularity and the archetype's guide claims did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Engine redundancy (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*64.01 + 0.20*60 + 2 = 65.2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · key two-card combo ≈ — · 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

• High archetype-core density gives near-certain starter access
• Two 2800-ATK Fusion/Extra bosses plus Plasma give multiple closing routes
• Three hand traps and Dark Angel provide early negation without extra deck cost
• Legal, full-size list with no over-limit copies

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so median and ceiling are estimates
• Duel Links has no side deck, so post-side adaptation is unavailable
• Nine Level-0 spell/trap slots can produce dead draws
• Several single-copy Extra pieces make the Extra Deck line-dependent

Critical choke points

• Going-first opening hand without Malicious, Stratos or Faris (about 0.57 of hands with no 3-copy searcher)
• Single-copy Vision HERO Vyon and Destiny HERO - Decider as the only search for the boss line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status and size: 30 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side; Duel Links size rules satisfied; Monster Reborn Limited at 1 copy; Hey, Trunade! Semi-Limited at 2 copies, both within legal limits; Core card text and stats for Malicious, Stratos, Faris, Vyon, Plasma, Adoration, Venom
• Observed: Usage statistics show the archetype-core cards at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access probability from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction and resilience reads from card text and hand-trap count; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Guide claims about tier-1 status
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent Usage statistics conflict with the deck list: Xtra HERO Cross Crusader and Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer are in the card list but marked in_this_deck false; Vision HERO Adoration is in the list but flagged missing_core; the matching should be checked before relying on usage flags No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the source record
