Destiny Heros Deck #754393 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 24 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link pressure from Vision HERO Adoration, Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer and Xtra HERO links, converting a board built from Destiny HERO searches and recursion; Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis and Underworld Goddess of the Closed World as late-game boss and negation extenders
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Destiny HERO - Malicious or Vision HERO Faris to start the engine, use Vision HERO Vyon or Elemental HERO Stratos to search, then Fusion or Link into a boss while holding Droll & Lock Bird or Nibiru as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present a hand trap (Ghost Belle, Solemn Scolding, Artifact Lancea, Nibiru) against the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Destiny HERO - Denier and Dreamer recursion
• Recovery: Recycle Destiny HERO monsters from the GY (Dreamer, Vyon banish cost) and the Deck via Denier and Malicious to rebuild a Destiny HERO starter after an interruption
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no side deck in this format

Why it scores here

The deck opens a Destiny HERO starter in roughly half of openings (P(at least one Malicious in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.52) and the 18-copy archetype core is almost always present, so the engine is reliably accessible (Inferred). Its strength is the system: searchers (Vyon, Stratos), recursion (Denier, Dreamer), and seven hand traps plus five negate-text cards give it real interaction on the end board. Conversion to pressure runs through Fusion and Link bosses (Adoration, Phoenix Enforcer, Cross Crusader, Dread Decimator), but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and floor are text-based only. Popularity and the guide praise do not earn points; the score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the whole system, not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: off-archetype dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.52 · 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 (18 copies) is almost always accessible
• Seven hand traps and five negate-text cards give layered interaction
• Fusion and Link bosses close games from a compact Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• 33 off-archetype copies dilute the engine
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are unverified
• No side deck in Duel Links, so adaptability is fixed

Critical choke points

• Destiny HERO starter (Malicious/Plasma) must appear to start the engine; about half of openings contain one

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in duel-links: 24 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side; All 47 cards Unlimited; no banlist exposure; Archetype core present at 65% of usage-stat cards
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.52 in a 5-card opening; Interaction density from the hand-trap and negate text counts; Recursion and search support the grind
• Provisional: Median and floor output (no boards); Matchup and format fit (no dated meta)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
