Mathmech Deck #752054 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 22 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mathmech Synchro/Xyz/Link boards (Geomathmech Final Sigma doubles battle damage from the Extra Monster Zone, Primathmech Laplacian, Firewall Dragon Darkfluid at 3000 ATK) built through the Mathmech Nabla/Diameter/Sigma tuner chain; Mathmech Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication ATK pumps and Mathmech Induction removal turning a board into direct beats
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 4 Tuner (Nabla, Diameter or Sigma), Special Summon a Mathmech from the Deck or GY, then Synchro/Link into a 3000-ATK boss; Cynet Mining or Billionblade Nayuta fill the gap when the hand lacks a starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll and Effect Veiler (4 hand traps total) to break the opponent's first Main Phase, then rebuild the same Mathmech line from the GY with Sigma and Equation
• Recovery: Mathmech Sigma banishes itself from the GY for recursion, and Nabla/Diameter re-enable the chain across turns; Magma adds a Mathmech Spell/Trap when destroyed
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side adjustment

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a Mathmech Combo system, not as an average of its cards. Its 16 archetype-core copies and 9 Tuners give it a strong chance of a live Level 4 starter, and the 14-distinct-card build is compact for Duel Links. Its ceiling comes from Synchro/Link bosses in the 2300-3000 ATK range, but no recorded boards exist, so the median and conversion scores are text-based inference and held in the mid range. Four hand traps and eight negation-text cards provide interaction, though their coverage against a board that has already committed is untested, and there is no Side Deck. Popularity and the guide's tier-3 mention did not earn points, and Meta Power is left provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Engine compactness (1); Limited-card exposure (0); Dependence on Extra Deck (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · 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

• Archetype core of 16 copies gives high access to a Mathmech starter
• Layered interaction from 4 hand traps and 8 negation-text cards
• Compact 14-distinct, 22-card main deck with a coherent Level 4 Tuner base
• Strong Extra Deck bosses (Final Sigma, Darkfluid, Magma, Justify, Laplacian)

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified
• No Side Deck in Duel Links, which removes post-side adaptability
• Off-archetype load of about 12 non-Mathmech copies including hand traps, Droplet and Cynet Mining
• usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list for Splash Mage, S-Force Justify, Final Sigma, Decode Talker Heatsoul and Geomathmech Magma

Critical choke points

• Turning the Level 4 Tuner into a Synchro/Link boss depends on Mathmech Equation or a Tuner in hand
• Hand-trap coverage (4 copies) is the only defence in a going-second opening

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 22, Extra deck 9, Side 0, legal for duel-links with size rules 20-30 / 0-9; Mathmech Superfactorial Limited with 1 legal copy and 1 run; Card text and stats for all 23 distinct cards; Copy histogram 8 singletons, 4 doubles, 2 triples; 14 distinct main cards; Archetype usage stats show Mathmech core inclusion at 100% for Superfactorial, Addition, Equation and Nabla at 88.9%
• Observed: No boards recorded (total_combos 0)
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.9998 from archetype-core proxy; Hand-trap presence in about 75% of going-second hands; Consistency, brick and interaction scores from text; Combo ceiling and median from text-only reads
• Provisional: Meta Power; Matchup coverage and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability from missing match 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with cards[] for Splash Mage (59859086), S-Force Justify (35334193), Geomathmech Final Sigma (42632209), Decode Talker Heatsoul (61245672) and Geomathmech Magma (15248594); cards[] was trusted as the decklist Deck title is null and the deck has no Side Deck, so post-side evidence is absent
