Heros Deck #761674 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 25 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a high-ATK HERO boss (Shining Neos Wingman 3100, Storm Neos 3000, Sunrise / Wake Up Your Elemental HERO 2500-level bosses) off a Neos or HERO material chain, then convert on the field.; Hand-summon pressure from Elemental HERO Spirit of Neos and Miracle Ejector, plus Stratos and Liquid Soldier board presence, when the Fusion line is stopped.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Normal Summon Stratos or Liquid Soldier and search via E - Emergency Call / Stratos for a HERO that enables Miracle Fusion or Neos Fusion. Turn 2: Fusion Summon a boss using Neos (single copy) or a HERO pair, with Protection of the Elements or Super Polymerization as backup disruption.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Spirit of Neos (hand Special Summon on an opponent's attack) and Cross Keeper (GY recursion) to rebuild after the opponent's first board, then Fusion Summon through the surviving HEROs. The deck has no hand traps, so this relies on the Fusion line surviving the first turn.
• Recovery: Cross Keeper from the GY summons a HERO or Neo-Spacian, Miracle Ejector and Spirit of Neos recur from hand, and EN Shuffle and Liquid Soldier's GY effect return the board for a second Fusion.
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links does not use a Side Deck (side_count 0 is the format norm).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens on a searcher: three copies each of E - Emergency Call and Stratos give roughly a 50% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the 10 searcher-text cards give about 94% for at least one (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its nine Extra Deck Fusions are all HERO-coherent and cover a broad range of bosses, which earns the Extra Deck score. Conversion is limited by the single copy of Elemental HERO Neos, which gates the Neos Fusion, Shining Neos Wingman, Brave Neos and Storm Neos lines, so a Neos-less hand loses most of the boss package. Rainbow Dragon is a dead slot because its summon condition needs seven different Crystal Beast names and the deck contains none. The score was built from consistency, median output and interaction at the system level, not from averaging card scores, and archetype popularity did not earn points: no combo boards or tournament data exist, so the ceiling is text-inferred and Meta Power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary (100%); Midrange not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 59.2, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Unrecoverable choke point (Neos) (-3); Dead slot (Rainbow Dragon) (-2); Engine compactness (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*59.2 + 0.20*52 = 57.8, then -3 net modifiers = 54.8, rounded to 55

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.5 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.09 · 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

• Searcher density: E - Emergency Call x3 and Stratos x3 give ~94% searcher access across 10 searcher-text cards in a 5-card hand (Inferred)
• Extra Deck: 9 HERO-linked Fusions covering 2500-3100 ATK bosses with a broad mix of variants (Verified composition)
• Interaction: 14 removal-text and 2 negation-text cards, including Protection of the Elements and Storm Neos board wipe text (Inferred semantic)
• Recursion: Cross Keeper, Miracle Ejector and Spirit of Neos recur from GY or hand (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Rainbow Dragon is a dead card: it cannot be summoned without seven Crystal Beast names (Verified text, structural)
• No hand traps and no going-second interaction beyond Spirit of Neos and Super Polymerization (Verified flag count 0)
• Duel Links has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified)
• No combo boards, so the ceiling and median are text-inferred only (Verified data gap)

Critical choke points

• Elemental HERO Neos (1 copy): gates Neos Fusion and the Shining Neos Wingman / Storm Neos / Brave Neos lines. Without it, most of the boss package is not reachable from the starter line.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal under Duel Links; 25 Main and 9 Extra, Super Polymerization Limited at 1 of 1 copy; Rainbow Dragon summon condition requires 7 Crystal Beast names; the archetype spread shows only the Dragon itself; Hand-trap flag count 0; removal_text 14; negation_text 2; Copy histogram 1:12, 2:2, 3:3; 17 distinct Main cards
• Inferred: P(>=1 E - Emergency Call or Stratos in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.50; P(>=1 searcher) ≈ 0.94; Neos + Neos Fusion both in opening 5 ≈ 0.087; Neos is a single-copy choke gating the Fusion boss lines; Boss ceiling from ATK and text (Shining Neos Wingman, Storm Neos, Sunrise, Wake Up); Interaction density from removal text (Stratos, Storm Neos, Protection of the Elements)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format fit: no tournament or win-rate data; Going-first and going-second power estimates are structural only
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown usage_statistics in_this_deck flags Elemental HERO Sunrise, Wake Up Your Elemental HERO and Flame Wingman as not in deck, but the Extra list contains them (copies 2, 2, 1). Missing-core figures are unreliable and were not used for scoring. Deck title is null; deck name not available Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
