Memento Deck #757829 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion, Link
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Large Memento Fusion and Link bodies (Mementoal Tecuhtlica 5000 ATK, Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica Creation King 3000 ATK, Mementotlan-Horned Dragon 2850 ATK) built through Memento searchers and graveyard recursion (Inferred from card text); Guardian Chimera (3300 ATK) and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (2800 ATK) as single-copy extra-deck beaters (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Memento searcher, then use a searcher or Fusion Spell (Mementotlan Fusion) to reach a Memento Fusion Monster through the 3-of Memento core (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Droplet and Radiant Typhoon Vision to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through graveyard Memento recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Graveyard Memento monsters returned by Mementomictlan, Mementotlan Ghattic and Mementotlan Bone Party, plus Creation King's banish-to-search effect (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The Memento core is unusually consistent: 29 core-name copies give a near-certain core presence in a 5-card opening hand (about 0.999 by proxy), and 15 searcher-text cards keep the engine reachable from hand (about 0.92 for at least one). Graveyard recursion and multiple revival routes give the deck several ways to continue after a disruption, which supports the resilience and resource scores. Its ceiling is high because the fusion and link bodies reach 2800 to 5000 ATK, but there is no recorded combo data, so the floor and median scores are text-based inference rather than observed results. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used as evidence of power. The list is Illegal: Super Polymerization exceeds its Semi-Limited copy limit, and Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent and Cross-Sheep are Forbidden, so the score is capped low and is structural only. The deck was not scored by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57.8, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-3); illegal-list cap (-12). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(57.8) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + ContextModifiers(-9) = about 47; capped to 35 because the list is Illegal (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core Memento presence is near-certain in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Many searchers and graveyard recursion routes (Inferred)
• High-ATK fusion and link finishers (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Super Polymerization over limit and three Forbidden cards
• No side deck
• Low exact-name purity (43.6 percent) with many generic or off-archetype copies
• No recorded boards, so the floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Creation King and Tecuhtlica needing specific Memento material in the graveyard or hand
• Removing the Forbidden cards means losing part of the interaction suite

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three Forbidden cards and one Semi-Limited overage; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Core presence and searcher counts from the hypergeometric probabilities; Card stats and text from the evidence excerpts; No side deck, no tournament link, no combo boards
• Inferred: Engine consistency (about 0.999 core-group proxy, about 0.92 searcher proxy); Combo ceiling and median from card text only; Going-first and going-second splits; Brick rate estimate from copy histogram and purity
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: Super Polymerization copies and three Forbidden cards must be fixed before any normal score 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 this deck No side deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be scored Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
