Beetrooper Deck #759415 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Fusion climb through Beetrooper bodies into 3000-4000 ATK bosses (Invincible Atlas, Ragnaraika Stag Sovereign, Absolute Hercules, Mighty Neptune) and close in the 4000-LP Duel Links format.; Attrition with disruption (Forbidden Droplet, Fly & Sting, Trap Hole Nightmare, Ragnaraika Hunting Dance, Scale Bomber) plus grind tools (Landing, Light Flapper) to out-value slower decks.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Beetrooper Scout Buggy, build Armor Horn and climb toward Atlas/Stag Sovereign, set Fly & Sting / Trap Hole / Hunting Dance and hold hand traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Break the board with Sphere Mode, Forbidden Droplet, Kumongous and D.D. Crow, then commit the Insect combo line into an OTK push.
• Recovery: Recycle via Beetrooper Landing (GY banish add-back), Beetrooper Light Flapper, Armor Horn's GY effect, Inzektor Picofalena shuffle and Resonance Insect to rebuild across turns.
• After siding: Duel Links has no side deck; adaptation is handled by the chosen Skill and the situational 1-of tech slots, with no observable post-duel data.

Why it scores here

This is a real, legal 30-card Beetrooper Insect list, but it is a scattered build: only Beetrooper Scout Buggy is a genuine one-card starter at roughly 43% in an opening five, while the rest of the engine depends on GY set-up, and 15 of the 30 slots are singletons. The upside is real - Buggy into Armor Horn into Invincible Atlas or Ragnaraika Stag Sovereign gives 3000-4000 ATK pressure, and the deck packs genuine going-second tools (Sphere Mode x3, Forbidden Droplet x3, D.D. Crow x3, Kumongous, Mother Spider). The cost is consistency and resilience: with one dominant starter, negating Buggy frequently stalls the turn, and the median hand looks far weaker than the ceiling. This score comes from evaluating the connected system - starter density, median versus ceiling, disruption breadth and variance - not from averaging individual card scores, and it does NOT get credit from Beetrooper being a popular archetype or from any meta share.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.4. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 46. Modifiers: single-starter choke point (-3); high singleton variance / garnet burden (-2); strong going-second breaker package (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); base 50.0 plus modifiers -3 = 47

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.15 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Genuine going-second package: Sphere Mode x3, Forbidden Droplet x3, D.D. Crow x3, Kumongous and Mother Spider break boards well.
• Real ceiling: Buggy into Armor Horn into Invincible Atlas or Ragnaraika Stag Sovereign presents 3000-3300 ATK bodies with follow-up access.
• Grind capability through Beetrooper Landing, Light Flapper, Picofalena shuffle and Resonance Insect.
• Broad toolbox interaction (Fly & Sting negate, Trap Hole Nightmare, Ragnaraika Hunting Dance, Scale Bomber).

Weaknesses

• One dominant starter (Scout Buggy at ~43% in opening five); negating it usually ends the turn's development.
• 15 singleton tech slots create high variance and low coherence; many are dead or weak going first.
• No recorded combo boards - the floor and median output are unverified and likely modest.
• Weak post-disruption redundancy and dependence on GY set-up for Sting Lancer and fusion lines.

Critical choke points

• Beetrooper Scout Buggy being negated or removed before it resolves.
• Requiring a GY Insect to enable Sting Lancer and Beetrooper Landing fusion lines.
• Over-reliance on the Armor Horn link hub to extend past the first body.
• Singleton tech cards doing nothing in the wrong matchup.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal: 30 main / 9 extra / 0 side, no copy-limit violations, no restricted cards.; Card text for every distinct card (Scout Buggy, Armor Horn, Invincible Atlas, Droplet, Sphere Mode, etc.).; Banlist status Unlimited on all listed cards in Duel Links.
• Observed: Usage statistics: 12/25 archetype core cards present (48%) per CardUsageStat rows.; Copy histogram {1:15, 3:5}; archetype exact-name purity 46.2%.
• Inferred: P(>=1 Scout Buggy in opening five) ~ 0.43 makes it the only reliable one-card starter.; Median board likely modest given a single starter and 15 singleton slots.; Going-second package (Sphere Mode/Droplet/Crow/Kaiju) provides above-average breaking power.; Recursion via Landing/Light Flapper/Picofalena supports a real grind game.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null - no dated metagame sample supplied.; Matchup coverage (D13) and side adaptability (D12) cannot be measured (Duel Links has no side deck).
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) - Inferred or Unknown. No Skill information for the Duel Links context. Usage-stat flags conflict with the resolved list on a few cards' inclusion; the cards array was treated as authoritative. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
