Memento Deck #765170 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link/XYZ Extra Deck boss (Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation 5000 ATK, Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King 3000 ATK, Mementotlan-Horned Dragon 2850 ATK) backed by Memento recursion from the GY; Guardian Chimera (3300 ATK) and Underworld Goddess (3000 ATK) as off-archetype finishers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Memento starter (Dark Blade, Tatsunootoshigo, Bone Party or Fusion; about 0.94 chance of at least one in a 5-card hand, Inferred), search or summon a second Memento, then reach a Fusion or Link boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand (about 0.97 chance of a starter, Inferred) used to answer the opponent's board with Forbidden Droplet, Fracture Dance and Cranium Burst, then rebuild through GY recursion into a Memento boss
• Recovery: Recover from GY through Mementotlan Ghattic, Mementotlan Akihiron, Mementotlan Bone Party and Horned Dragon's GY summon condition to re-establish Memento monsters
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links is a single-game ladder format with no sideboard (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: twelve copies across four Memento starters (Dark Blade, Tatsunootoshigo, Bone Party, Fusion) give roughly a 94% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred from the hypergeometric draw table). Its strength comes from the system rather than from individual card scores: Memento monsters recycle from the graveyard through several effects, so a single disruption does not end the line, and the Extra Deck supplies several high-ATK bosses. Interaction is text-heavy (18 removal-text and 4 negation-text cards) but there are no hand traps, which keeps the going-second board-breaking score moderate. No recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences and were scored conservatively. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points directly, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 65.9, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 67. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-1); engine_conflicts (-2); memento_family_coherence (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*65.9 + 0.20*66.6 - 1 = 65.0

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Dense, redundant Memento starters with 12 copies across four cards
• Multiple GY-recursion routes that keep the engine alive after removal
• Strong Extra Deck closers (5000 / 3000 / 2850 ATK)
• Legal, complete list with 0 violations
• Reasonably compact main deck (17 distinct cards)

Weaknesses

• No hand traps, so interaction depends on the turn and on what the opponent leaves open
• Off-archetype Extra Deck cards dilute the engine and may compete for Extra and GY resources
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be verified
• Several conditional effects (Goblin, Angwitch, Creation King) that depend on specific board states
• Self-destruction costs that cause card disadvantage if the recovery line stalls

Critical choke points

• Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation: a single copy and a key boss; losing it removes the top ATK and several conditional effects
• Memento monsters on the field or in the GY: most engine effects need a Memento card to be present
• Forbidden Droplet's GY cost is paid from the same resources the Memento engine uses

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal size (30 main, 9 extra, 0 side) and copy limits, with one Limited card (Lyrilusc) run at its legal count; Card text and stats for all 30 main and 9 extra cards; Archetype usage stats available (25 rows) for Memento
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.94 (going first) and ≈ 0.97 (going second); Interaction density from removal and negation text counts; Recovery and recursion routes from card text; Closing power and boss threat from stats
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament data
• Data gaps: No recorded combos: combos_evidence has 0 boards, so 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 for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Usage-stat in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list: Twin Dragon, Creation King, Guardian Chimera, I:P Masquerena, Lyrilusc, Underworld Goddess and Little Knight are all in cards[] but flagged in_this_deck=false, so missing_core (61.9%) is unreliable and was not used; only Predaplant Dragostapelia is genuinely absent from the list Guide Hướng dẫn chơi Memento has an empty snippet ( ) and 0 sections, so no guide content was used Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
