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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento Extra Deck pressure: Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (3000 ATK), Mementotlan Twin Dragon (2800 ATK) and Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK) once summoned.; Mementotlan-Horned Dragon (2850 ATK) special summoned from the GY and Link/Xyz beats from the off-archetype Extra Deck slots.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Memento searcher or summoner (Angwitch, Ghattic, Bone Party, Tatsunootoshigo), search a second Memento piece, and reach a Fusion or Link summon while holding Droplet or Book of Eclipse for interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Answer the opposing board with Forbidden Droplet, Book of Eclipse and Mementotlan Fracture Dance, then rebuild through Ghattic and Akihiron recursion into a Memento Fusion.
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion: Ghattic adds or revives Memento cards, Akihiron retrieves banished or GY Memento cards, and Horned Dragon can be special summoned from the GY once three different-name Memento monsters are there.
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links is a single game with no side deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Memento monster in hand: the archetype core (21 copies) gives P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.999, and 11 searcher-text cards add redundancy (Inferred, from the hypergeometric draw table). Its strength is the system, not the card list: 15 monsters and 15 spells/traps balance the main deck, with 11 searchers, 18 removal-text cards and 4 negation-text cards feeding one Memento engine. Conversion to pressure runs through the Creation King, Twin Dragon and Tecuhtlica Extra Deck monsters, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and the median is scored neutral. The score does not come from Memento being a popular archetype or from averaging card scores; the Extra Deck is only 3 of 9 Memento monsters, so Extra efficiency is held down by 6 off-archetype Link, Xyz and Fusion slots. No side deck and no tournament or meta data exist, so Meta Power stays provisional and TR is inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Midrange secondary (structural weights from the Combo profile; no blend applied). Structural ≈ 61.7, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Off-archetype Extra Deck load (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.8*61.7 + 0.2*60 = 61.3, then -2 modifier = 59

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

• Stable Memento opener: 21 core copies give ~99.9% P(at least one in a 5-card hand) (Inferred)
• Redundant searchers (11 text hits) and recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Horned Dragon) support continuation after disruption
• Full 9-card Extra Deck with high-ATK payoffs (Tecuhtlica 5000, Creation King 3000)
• Balanced 15/15 monster-to-spell/trap split with no dead Extra slots

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards: ceiling and median are text-only inference
• Only 3 Memento Extra Deck monsters; 6 Extra slots are off-archetype
• No hand traps or floodgates; interaction depends on Droplet, Eclipse and Fracture Dance
• Lyrilusc Xyz is Limited and needs Level 1 material the deck barely has (only Goblin and Mace are Level 1)

Critical choke points

• Creation King and Tecuhtlica Extra Deck summons require the right Memento material in hand or GY
• Fusion-based pressure depends on Mementotlan Fusion and a Memento monster on field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 30 main / 9 extra / 0 side within Duel Links size rules; Lyrilusc run 1 copy at Limited cap of 1; Card text and stats for all 26 distinct cards; Archetype purity 59% exact-name; Copy histogram and type/attribute/level spreads
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric); Brick and conflict estimates from card text; Consistency, recursion and interaction reads from text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• 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 disagree with the cards list for Extra Deck entries (e.g. Twin Dragon, Creation King, Guardian Chimera marked absent but listed in cards[]); core_present_pct treated as unreliable Guide 1484 has an empty snippet and no sections; it adds no strategic content Deck title is null; archetype label taken from the export Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
