Legality
Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Link-4 Marincess boss (Marincess Aqua Argonaut, Marincess Wonder Heart, Marincess Great Bubble Reef) reaching roughly 2300-2600 ATK on the link field; Marincess Battle Ocean ATK buff and Great Bubble Reef recursion/draw engine
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Springirl, Blue Tang or Pascalus), search or summon into Basilalima / Sea Angel / Blue Slug, then climb to a Link-4 boss
- Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow, Marincess Wave) to break the opponent's first turn, then link through the disruption
- Recovery: Recover Sleepy Maiden and Mandarin from the GY, use Basilalima to replace card-effect destruction, and use Great Bubble Reef draws to refill
- After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no side deck (side_count 0)
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens a starter in most games: three-copy starters each show about a 43% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and a 7-card search (Blue Tang, Pascalus, Basilalima, Sea Angel) lifts access further. Its consistency leans on the Link engine being nearly always present (the archetype core group has about a 99.96% chance of at least one copy in 5 cards) rather than on any recorded combo, since the deck has no parseable boards. Its strength is interaction on the system: six hand traps, eight negation-text cards and fifteen removal-text cards let it keep a Link-4 boss alive through disruption, and Basilalima plus the GY recursion cards provide a second and third line. Closing power comes from 2300-2600 ATK Link-4 bosses rather than from popularity: the archetype's guide and usage data confirm the list is real and accessible, and they earned no points by themselves. Scores were assigned to the deck as a connected system and were not averaged from card scores; the midrange profile applies, with Meta left provisional because no dated metagame sample exists.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(at least one 3-copy starter in opening 5) ≈ 0.43 per starter and P(≥1 searcher text) ≈ 0.76; starter access is good but not guaranteed (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | Six hand traps and several Link-enablers keep most hands functional; Battle Ocean and Dive are dead without the rest of the engine, and no brick estimate is computed (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | Text-only ceiling: Link-4 bosses plus Wonder Heart and Great Bubble Reef recursion can reach 2300-2600 ATK, but no recorded combos exist (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 50 | No recorded boards, so the median output cannot be measured and is held near neutral (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 68 | Multiple independent lines (Basilalima, Mandarin, Sleepy Maiden, Pascalus) and several recursion effects give redundancy after a single disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 64 | Recursion from the GY (Sleepy Maiden, Mandarin, Basilalima) and Great Bubble Reef draw text support rebuilding after an exchange (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 72 | Wave, Cascade, Droplet, Veiler and Aqua Argonaut give layered negation, removal and no-attack text; the interaction density is high on the card text (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 64 | Going-second hand-trap density (Veiler, Crow, Wave, Droplet) challenges an established board, but there is no going-second combo split (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 66 | Link-4 bosses at 2300-2600 ATK with Battle Ocean's +200 ATK support a real closing threat; no end-board sample is available (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 58 | 30 Main Deck cards with 14 distinct cards and six 3-of slots is compact and coherent; purity is 79.5% exact-name Marincess (Verified) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 70 | All nine Extra Deck slots are Link monsters used by the engine, with Link-1 and Link-2 enablers filling the climb (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 35 | Duel Links has no side deck and the deck runs 0 side cards, so post-side adaptability is structurally absent (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link or dated meta sample is in the evidence, so format fit cannot be measured (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 56 | Link-climb sequencing with hand-trap timing has several decision points, moderate for a player to repeat (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61.3, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; D13 dropped and weights renormalized over 95 for a meta-neutral Structural)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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
- Link-4 boss ceiling at 2300-2600 ATK with a deep Extra Deck of Link enablers
- Layered interaction: six hand traps, negation text and removal text
- Compact, coherent Marincess engine with 79.5% exact-name purity
- Recursion (GY-based summons and banish-for-draw) supports rebuilding
Weaknesses
- No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (Duel Links format)
- No recorded combos, so floor and median output are unmeasured
- No dated meta sample, so format fit is Provisional
- Long Link-climb sequence adds pilot-error risk
Critical choke points
- The Link-4 boss (Aqua Argonaut / Wonder Heart / Bubble Reef) is the main closing route; losing the Link-2/3 enablers before climbing slows the boss considerably
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | No change recommended on current evidence; re-evaluate after recorded combos or a dated meta sample exist. Also fix the usage-statistics in_this_deck flags, which ignore the Extra Deck, before using core_present_pct (it reads 52.4 but the real core presence is about 19 of 21). |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal: 30 Main / 9 Extra / 0 Side within Duel Links size rules; Wonder Heart 1/1 Limited; Card text and stats for all 30 Main and 9 Extra cards; Archetype purity 79.5% exact-name Marincess; Usage statistics show 19 of the 21 core cards are in the list once Extra Deck copies are counted
- Inferred: Starter access from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction density and resilience from card text; Link-4 boss closing power from printed ATK and text; Pilotability from the number of Link steps
- Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Median output (no recorded boards)
- 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 usage_statistics in_this_deck flags ignore Extra Deck copies (e.g. Aqua Argonaut and Wonder Heart show in_this_deck:false but are run in the Extra Deck), so core_present_pct 52.4 understates real core presence no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck exists in Duel Links, so D12 has no post-side performance evidence
