Memento Deck #766613 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK) and Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (3000 ATK), reached by Memento self-summon and Fusion chains; Mementotlan-Horned Dragon (2850 ATK) and Mementotlan Twin Dragon (2800 ATK) as Extra Deck closers from the Graveyard and Fusion routes
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Memento starter (Tatsunootoshigo, Shleepy, Ghattic, Angwitch, Dark Blade) that searches or self-summons a second Memento, then Fusion or Link into a board-breaking Extra Deck monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird and Forbidden Droplet to slow the opponent's draws and negate, then rebuild through Graveyard recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Horned Dragon) into a Fusion closer
• Recovery: Graveyard Memento recursion: Ghattic and Bone Party add Memento cards back to hand, and Horned Dragon Special Summons from the GY once three different-name Memento monsters are there
• After siding: No sideboard in Duel Links (side 0); no post-side plan exists, so adaptation is limited to the choice of opening starter

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency comes from the system, not from its card scores: 21 exact-name Memento copies make the core engine almost always reachable (P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.997, and P(at least one searcher-text card) is about 0.89; both Inferred). Conversion is strong at the top: the Extra Deck closers (Combined Creation at 5000 ATK, Creation King at 3000 ATK, Horned Dragon at 2850 ATK) give high closing power, and the Graveyard recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Horned Dragon) lets the deck keep playing after an interruption. Interaction is real but thin: removal-text cards are plentiful, Droll & Lock Bird and Forbidden Droplet cover negation and hand-trap roles, and the going-second hand-trap estimate is about 0.50. Weaknesses are the 18 off-archetype copies (about 46% of the main deck), no parseable combo boards to confirm the median output, no sideboard, and conflicting usage-stat matches for several Extra Deck cards. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's usage data only confirms the list is accessible, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile used directly; the Combo secondary is noted but not blended, because no combo boards exist to weight it. Structural ≈ 66.5, Going First ≈ 74, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 63. Modifiers: Extra Deck dependence (-1); No post-side plan (-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

• Core engine access is near-certain in a 5-card opening hand (0.997, Inferred)
• Several self-summon and searcher starters give multiple independent routes
• Closing power is strong at 5000, 3000, 2850 and 2800 ATK
• Graveyard recursion regenerates resources after disruption
• Legal and full in both the Main (30/30) and Extra (9/9) Decks

Weaknesses

• About 46% of main-deck copies are off-archetype (Droplet, Droll, Fuwalos, Goblin, Fracture Dance and others), which raises brick and dead-draw risk
• No sideboard, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo boards, so the median output is unmeasured
• Going-second hand-trap coverage is only about 0.50 with three Droll copies

Critical choke points

• Creation King and Combined Creation are single-route closers; losing them to a board break leaves few alternative closers in the Extra Deck
• Combined Creation needs five specific Memento monsters to shuffle from hand or GY, so it depends on a sufficient GY or hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 30 Main / 9 Extra / 0 Side counts, and per-copy limits (Legality check); Card stats and text for every listed card; Archetype core inclusion (21 exact Memento copies)
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Memento core is accessible (archetype stats, not deck win rate)
• Inferred: Opening-hand access and searcher probabilities (hypergeometric); Interaction, recursion and resilience read from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Median combo output and ceiling (no boards); Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Side-deck adaptability (no sideboard)
• 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 for this deck: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Usage statistics mark Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Guardian Chimera and Twin Dragon as absent from the deck, but the card list shows them as present (Extra Deck); the reference matching needs reconciling Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample supplied No sideboard exists in Duel Links, so D12 has no performance data
