Memento Deck #771327 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Fusion/Link/Synchro boss (Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Combined Creation, Horned Dragon) reached through Memento self-destruct and special-summon chains; Recursive Memento board presence through Mementotlan Angwitch, Tatsunootoshigo and Ghattic recursion, with Mulcharmy draw pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Memento starters (Tatsunootoshigo, Angwitch, Mementomictlan) to search and chain into a Fusion or Link boss; hold Ash Blossom and Maxx C for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Solemn Accusation and Maxx C to break the opponent's opening, then rebuild through Memento GY recursion
• Recovery: Recover from a single interruption via Memento GY recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron) and Mementotlan Goblin, which keeps the Memento body count up
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The 30 archetype-core copies give a near-certain opening presence (P of at least one in a 5-card hand is about 0.99, Inferred), and the 12 searcher-text cards give roughly a 0.75 chance of a search in the opening hand. The deck's ceiling rests on text-level reads of Memento Fusion/Link bosses and the Creation King, since no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling score is an Inferred estimate and not a measured result. The floor is unmeasured, and the 47 off-archetype copies (only 33 percent exact-name purity) add brick and dilution risk, which pulls the consistency and efficiency dimensions down. Interaction is real (29 removal-text cards, 11 negation-text cards, 6 hand-traps) and supports going-second play, but it is not counted as board-breaking strength. Score is Structural-only: the list is Illegal (two Forbidden cards and an 18-card Extra Deck), so the final number is capped low and labelled theoretical. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited as power, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); extra deck over limit (-3); no side deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 48.8 before modifiers; modifiers total -12; then capped low at 35 because the deck is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Core Memento engine is present at near-full consistency (30 copies)
• Broad interaction density across removal, negation and hand-traps
• Extra Deck has high-ATK bosses (Creation King, Combined Creation, Horned Dragon)

Weaknesses

• Two Forbidden cards and an 18-card Extra Deck make the list illegal in OCG
• Only 33 percent exact-name archetype purity, so the engine is diluted
• No side deck and no recorded boards to validate the ceiling or floor

Critical choke points

• Memento Fusion and Link summons depend on a few Memento bodies being alive in the hand or field
• Forbidden Albion and Cross-Sheep cannot be legally run, so the Extra Deck must be cut before any play test

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Albion and Cross-Sheep are Forbidden (0 legal copies) and run one copy each; Extra Deck is 18 cards against the OCG maximum of 15; Side Deck is empty; Usage core: 30 copies of Memento core cards at 100 percent inclusion
• Inferred: P(at least one core copy in a 5-card hand) is about 0.99; Searcher access is about 0.75 in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap access going second is about 0.54; Engine and interaction read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null and meta-share is absent; Median and floor are unmeasured without combo boards
• 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, brick/starter rates) no Side Deck, so no post-side evidence Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
