Heros Deck #765556 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 28 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a large HERO/Neos Fusion (Neos, Shining Neos Wingman, Brave Neos, Rainbow Neos) through Neos Fusion, Miracle Fusion, or Super Polymerization, then convert the high-ATK board into attacks.; Spirit of Neos and Stratos searches feed follow-up Fusion Summons; Sunrise and Great Tornado give board-wide ATK/DEF pressure when they are present in the Extra Deck.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with E - Emergency Call or Miracle Ejector (both 3 copies), Stratos or Spirit of Neos for a second searcher, then Neos Fusion or Miracle Fusion into a 2500+ ATK fusion while keeping Protection of the Elements and Favorite Contact as follow-up.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Effect Veiler or Droll & Lock Bird to stop the opponent's first Main Phase play, then use Spirit of Neos or Stratos to rebuild a fusion board and use Miracle Fusion to refill.
• Recovery: Recover from a removed board by sending HEROs to the GY for Cross Keeper (GY summon), Liquid Soldier GY recursion, and EN Shuffle from the GY, then rebuild Neos with the searcher engine.
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links is a single-game format with no Side Deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher: P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.94 across the 11 searcher-text cards, and three 3-copy starters (E - Emergency Call, Miracle Ejector, Stratos) give about 0.46 odds of one of them in hand, which is a strong opening for a Fusion engine (Inferred). Conversion is strong on paper: Neos Fusion, Miracle Fusion and Super Polymerization feed a Fusion Extra Deck with several 2500+ ATK boards, and the closing power sits in Rainbow Neos, Shining Neos Wingman and Sunrise. Scores are not based on popularity: the archetype is widely played and its usage stats confirm the list is real, but that did not earn points. The score also does not average individual card scores; it reflects the system-level picture of searcher access, Fusion conversion and interaction. Two or three main-deck cards (Rainbow Dragon, Armed Dragon Thunder, and probably Rainbow Neos, which needs an Ultimate Crystal material) have no realistic route in this list, which costs consistency and costs an Extra Deck slot. No combo boards, win rates, or tournament data were supplied, so median and floor scores are structural inferences.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Midrange secondary (structural weights from the Combo profile; no blend applied). Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: dead main-deck bricks (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*61 + 0.20*58 - 3 ≈ 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Searcher density: 11 searcher-text cards with about 94% odds of at least one in an opening hand
• Fusion engine with Neos Fusion and Miracle Fusion plus Super Polymerization for access
• High-ATK closers (Rainbow Neos 4500, Wingman 3100, Shining 2600) in the Extra Deck
• Layered hand traps (Effect Veiler x2, Droll & Lock Bird) for going second

Weaknesses

• Dead main-deck cards (Rainbow Dragon, Armed Dragon Thunder) that do not fit the HERO engine
• Single-copy Super Polymerization (Limited) and no second Fusion enabler beyond Miracle Fusion
• Fusion-heavy sequencing is costly and error-prone when Neos Fusion misses material

Critical choke points

• Neos Fusion (2 copies) with its Elemental HERO Neos material as the main Neos route
• Miracle Fusion (1 copy) as the only banish-fusion refill

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in duel-links: 28 Main (20-30) and 9 Extra (0-9); Super Polymerization 1/1 Limited; all others Unlimited; Core usage: E - Emergency Call, Stratos, Super Polymerization, Liquid Soldier and Favorite Contact are high-inclusion core cards in the archetype usage stats
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.94 and P(>=1 3-copy starter) ≈ 0.46 from hypergeometric draws; Rainbow Dragon and Armed Dragon Thunder are effectively dead main-deck cards from card text and the list composition; D3-D9 ceilings and medians are semantic reads of card text, not recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) is provisional: archetype-level usage only
• 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 no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) — those signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Duel Links has no Side Deck, so D12 is not measured Neo-Spacian enablers beyond Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin (1 copy) are not verifiable from the list
