Memento Deck #765145 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 67/100 (±7 · 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: Summon Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King and Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK, attack-all while alone) through a chain of Memento Special Summons, searches and GY recursion, then close with Twin Dragon, Horned Dragon or Akihiron direct attacks.; Board pressure from Mementotlan-Horned Dragon and Mementotlan Twin Dragon, with Fusion and Xyz/Link extra-deck follow-ups.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Memento starters (Dark Blade, Shleepy, Tatsunootoshigo, Bone Party, Fusion) into a searcher chain toward the Creation King fusion, using Fracture Dance or Dark Blade to clear the first backrow.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Fracture Dance, Mace (take control with Combined Creation on field), Dark Blade and Cranium Burst to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through GY recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Angwitch) into Creation King.
• Recovery: Recover Memento monsters from the GY through Ghattic, Akihiron, Angwitch, Bone Party and Horned Dragon's GY summon condition, then rebuild the Combined Creation and Creation King requirements.
• After siding: No side deck is registered; there is no post-side plan in this list.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 21 of 30 Main Deck cards are core Memento copies, and the hypergeometric estimate gives roughly a 99.9% chance of at least one core card in a going-first five-card hand, with 13 searcher-text cards at about 96%. Conversion is strong on paper, with Creation King, Combined Creation (5000 ATK) and Twin Dragon as high-end closers, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference and are scored separately, with the median scored conservatively. Interaction is layered through Fracture Dance, Dark Blade, Mace, Cranium Burst and Mementomictlan rather than hand traps, which keeps going-second board-breaking moderate. Score comes from consistency and recursion on the system; the Memento archetype's popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged. Nine extra-deck slots include seven off-archetype splash cards, which lowers Extra Deck efficiency and pilotability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 69.2, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 64. Modifiers: engine compactness (2); engine conflicts / off-archetype splash (-2); unrecoverable choke point (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

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

• Very high core density: 21 Memento-engine copies in 30 Main Deck slots, so the engine is almost always live.
• Redundant searchers and GY recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Angwitch, Bone Party) give several independent routes after disruption.
• High-ceiling closers: Creation King, Combined Creation (5000 ATK) and Twin Dragon, with direct attacks via Akihiron.

Weaknesses

• No hand traps and no floodgates, so going-second board-breaking depends on soft answers.
• Seven off-archetype splash cards in the Extra Deck dilute the Memento engine and add pilot complexity.
• No recorded boards, so the median output and the actual Creation King hit rate are unverified.

Critical choke points

• Combined Creation and Creation King both need specific Memento monsters in the right zones; if the GY is empty the top-end plan is delayed.
• Going second with no hand traps relies on Fracture Dance, Mace and Dark Blade to clear the first board.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal in duel-links: 30 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side within [20-30] / [0-9] / [0-9] limits.; Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale is Limited at 1 copy and is run at 1 copy.; Archetype purity is 71.8% exact-name Memento (28 of 39 non-generic copies).; Core-card counts and per-card hypergeometric probabilities are taken from the evidence pack.
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Memento core (Twin Dragon, Mementomictlan, Akihiron, Horned Dragon, Goblin, Tatsunootoshigo) at high inclusion rates; this confirms the list is real, not that it is strong.
• Inferred: Going-first hand consistency of about 99.9% for at least one core card, from the hypergeometric draw table.; Interaction layering from card text (Dark Blade, Fracture Dance, Cranium Burst, Mace, Mementomictlan).; Recursion-based resilience and combo ceiling from card text, with no recorded boards.
• Provisional: Meta power (null; no dated metagame sample).; Side-deck adaptability (no side cards).; Matchup and format fit (no tournament link or meta share).
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates). Deck title is null; the deck is identified only by archetype and card list. Guide snippet is empty (section_count 0), so no human strategic intent is available. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
