Memento Deck #758175 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento Extra Deck boss monsters (Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementotlan-Horned Dragon, Mementotlan Twin Dragon) backed by Memento recursion through the GY; Fusion and Link pressure from Memento and Sky Striker link monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Memento starters (Angwitch, Tatsunootoshigo, Bone Party, Fusion), search a Memento, and build toward a Fusion or Link boss; hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the opponent's first search or boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Nibiru, Droll, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's board, then convert with Memento recursion
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY through Memento recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Horned Dragon GY condition) and Creation King's GY banish-to-search
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty in the export, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

This evaluation is theoretical and structural only, because the list is Illegal: it runs three copies of Ash Blossom (limit 2), two Droll & Lock Bird (limit 1), and three Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Cross-Sheep), so the score is capped at 30 rather than given a normal final score. The archetype core is consistent on paper: the hypergeometric estimate gives about 96% that at least one core card is in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). The deck also has real redundancy in hand traps and recursion, which earns the resilience and interaction dimensions. Its weaknesses are a low exact-name purity of 30% (49 of 55 main cards are off-archetype), many dead-in-hand tech cards (Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm, Crossout Designator), and an empty side deck. No combos, tournament data, or win rates are available, so the score comes from the structure of the list alone and was not averaged from card scores or popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox weights not blended. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-20); Banlist exposure (-2); Empty side deck (-1). Final formula: Structural 51 → 0.80*51 + 0.20*45 = 49.8 before the Illegal cap; capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (Meta provisional, theoretical-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Dense hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence) gives redundant disruption
• Memento GY recursion gives a rebuild route after interaction
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Creation King 3000 ATK, Horned Dragon 2850, Twin Dragon 2800)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and Forbidden-card violations
• Low exact-name purity (30%) with many off-archetype cards
• Several dead-in-hand tech cards (Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm, Crossout Designator)
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Legal copy counts must be fixed before any production score is meaningful
• Memento boss setup depends on several specific Memento monsters being in hand or GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and five copy-limit violations (legality block); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts within OCG size rules; Exact-name purity 30% and archetype spread from composition
• Inferred: ≈0.96 at-least-one-core-card in opening 5 (hypergeometric); Hand-trap redundancy supports interruption resilience; Going-second disruption from 13 hand traps
• Provisional: Matchup fit and Meta Power (no dated meta sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null in the export
