Code Talker Deck #772786 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• 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: Mementotlan Memento board recursion into Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK) and Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (3000 ATK) fusion beaters; Link and Fusion pressure from Accesscode Talker, W:P Fancy Ball, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon and Mementotlan Twin Dragon
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Memento starter (Angwitch, Dark Blade, Ghattic or Tatsunootoshigo), search or recycle a second Memento, then convert with Mementotlan Fusion or Bone Party toward a Fusion beater. Hand traps are held back because a going-first hand has no opposing board to answer.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom and Nibiru to answer the opponent's first wave of Special Summons, then use Raigeki or the Memento recursion line to rebuild a board.
• Recovery: Memento monsters recur from the GY through Mementotlan Shleepy, Ghattic and Akihiron. Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird protect the engine from the usual searchers and hand traps.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play is limited to the main-deck list.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: two cards are run three copies against a limit of two, and the Extra Deck holds 18 cards against a maximum of 15, so the score is capped and reported as theoretical/structural only. The deck's functional core is a Memento engine: the archetype core group gives about a 0.67 chance of at least one Memento starter in a five-card opening hand, and the 10 hand traps and 12 searcher-text cards give it interaction and recovery. The ceiling comes from Mementoal Tecuhtlica (5000 ATK) and the Creation King fusions, but no recorded boards exist, so the floor and median are text-only inference. Score reflects consistency and interaction on the whole system; it does not come from the popularity of the Code Talker name (only one exact-name copy is present) or from averaging the cards' individual scores. No side deck and no tournament data further lower the reliability component.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-4); extra-deck overflow and no side (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) = 42.8, then modifiers total -12 = 31 (theoretical/structural-only, capped low; Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.67 · 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

• Memento recursion gives a consistent GY-to-field rebuild path
• 10 hand traps and 28 removal-text cards give layered interaction
• High-ATK endboard threats (5000 and 3000 ATK) close games once online

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two copy-limit violations and an Extra Deck overflow
• Off-archetype spread across many families lowers engine coherence
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Heavy triple-copy spell/trap slots create dead draws

Critical choke points

• Any Memento starter missing from the opening hand stalls the engine
• Extra Deck overflow means the list cannot be submitted until cut to 15
• Copy-limit violations on Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 52 and Extra Deck 18 counts from the export; Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization at 3 copies against a limit of 2; Extra Deck 18 against a maximum of 15; Archetype core group copies (10) and hand-trap group count (10)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand odds for starters and hand traps; Memento recursion as the primary engine; Floor and median output from text only; Interaction quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage
• 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 are absent No side deck registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
