Heros Deck #752062 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion beatdown off Elemental HERO Neos lines: Rainbow Neos (4500 ATK) and Great Tornado, with Shining and Sunrise as alternates.; Neos Fusion and Miracle Fusion converting searched HERO monsters into a single large fusion board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 E - Emergency Call or Elemental HERO Stratos search, then build toward Neos Fusion or Miracle Fusion on the Neos found in hand or Deck. The deck runs only 2 Neos, so the plan depends on hitting one.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open hand traps (D.D. Crow, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, 7 total) and Forbidden Droplet to stop the opponent's first board, then convert the follow-up into a fusion.
• Recovery: Search again with E - Emergency Call and Stratos (6 searcher-text cards). Liquid Soldier and Crow can recycle resources through the GY and banish zone.
• After siding: Not applicable. Duel Links has no side deck in this format, so there is no sideboard adaptation to score.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher turn: E - Emergency Call and Stratos give about a 0.70 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, but the fusion engine itself is thinner, with only 2 Elemental HERO Neos and roughly a 0.31 chance of holding one going first. Its consistency is therefore driven by search access rather than by the Neos line it advertises. Interaction is the stronger side of the deck: 7 hand traps and Forbidden Droplet give about a 0.83 chance of a hand trap going second, and Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror and Super Polymerization add non-engine coverage. Closing power comes from Rainbow Neos and Great Tornado, but several extra-deck fusions (Aqua Neos without its Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin, Rainbow Neos without a Crystal Beast board) have enablers the list does not run. Popularity in the archetype and the guide mentions did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo secondary used only as a label, weights from Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Neos bottleneck (-3); Dead-enabler extra-deck cards (-2); Hand-trap density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*57.42 + 0.20*56 - 3 ≈ 54)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.7 · 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 Forbidden Droplet give a strong going-second answer set
• Six searcher-text cards give reliable access to HERO monsters from the Deck
• Rainbow Neos and Great Tornado give real closing power once a fusion lands

Weaknesses

• Only 2 Elemental HERO Neos, while 9 fusions and Neos Fusion lean on Neos
• Several extra-deck fusions lack their enablers in this list (Aqua Neos needs a Dolphin; Rainbow Neos needs Crystal support)
• 39 off-archetype copies dilute the engine; Rainbow Dragon and Armed Dragon LV10 are singletons with unclear support

Critical choke points

• Elemental HERO Neos (2 copies): needed for Neos Fusion, Rainbow Neos, Brave Neos, and Aqua Neos
• Rainbow Dragon (1 copy): sole Ultimate Crystal enabler for Rainbow Neos, with a Special Summon condition the deck cannot meet on its own

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 30 cards with 9 Fusion Extra cards; within Duel Links size rules; Super Polymerization is Limited in Duel Links and runs 1 copy, which is legal; Guide snippets describe the archetype's Skill-based strength in Duel Links
• Observed: Archetype usage shows Elemental HERO Neos and Spirit of Neos as core cards, and 2 Neos plus 0 Spirit are run
• Inferred: Searcher, hand-trap, and draw probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Dimension scores D1 to D11 and D14 from card text and composition; Dead-enabler reading for Aqua Neos and Rainbow Neos from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit at 50 neutral; D12 side adaptability neutral at 50 because the format has no side deck
• 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 no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, or starter rates Duel Links Skill selection not in the evidence, though guides say it drives archetype strength Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
