Memento Deck #773441 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 67/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento boss Special Summons and Fusion Summons (Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementotlan Twin Dragon, Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation) built from a hand and GY engine of recursive Memento monsters (Inferred from card text); Link and Xyz beatsticks from the generic Extra Deck (Underworld Goddess of the Closed World, Guardian Chimera, Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale) as backup pressure (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter from the Memento monsters (Dark Blade, Angwitch, Tatsunootoshigo, Ghattic, Akihiron) into Mementotlan Fusion or Mementotlan Bone Party to reach a 3-monster Fusion or Special Summon chain (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Forbidden Droplet or Book of Eclipse to blank the opponent's effect monsters, then rebuild the Memento board through GY recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Ghattic, Angwitch, Akihiron and Bone Party, and banish-based summons from Creation King, which needs 3 Memento monsters in the GY or on the field (Inferred from card text)
• 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 Memento starter: the 20-copy Memento core gives a hypergeometric P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.998, and 12 searcher-text cards add redundancy (Inferred). Its engine converts into pressure through several high-ATK bosses in the Extra Deck, including Creation King (3000), Twin Dragon (2800), Underworld Goddess (3000 Link-5) and Combined Creation (5000), which earns the closing-power and resource scores. Floor and median output are the weak part: the deck has zero recorded boards, so the median is a text-based inference and is scored conservatively (55), and the ceiling is not treated as typical output. Interaction is real but thin, with Forbidden Droplet, Book of Eclipse, Fracture Dance and Underworld Goddess, and it has no hand traps, so the going-second plan is only moderate. Usage popularity and archetype-standard Extra Deck choices confirm the list is real and accessible but did not add points by themselves, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. Meta Power is null and Matchup Fit is provisional, so the structural score is meta-neutral (D13 dropped and weights re-normalised).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 68, Going First ≈ 71, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 64. Modifiers: engine_compactness (2); off_theme_dead_copies (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; D13 dropped from Structural and weights re-normalised over the remaining 97)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · 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

• Starter access is near-certain in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, about 0.998)
• Compact 30-card main with 7 triple-copy engine slots and 12 searchers
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses with GY recursion for resilience
• Legal in Duel Links with no copy-limit violations (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Zero recorded boards: floor, median and ceiling are text inference only
• No hand traps and only 3 negation-text cards for going-second interaction
• 6 non-Memento copies (Forbidden Droplet, Book of Eclipse) can be dead without the engine
• Multi-step GY-count summons raise pilot error risk

Critical choke points

• Dependence on a GY with at least 3 to 5 distinct Memento monsters for Creation King and Combined Creation (Inferred from card text)
• Single-copy Memento engine pieces (Mace, Ghattic, Akihiron, Horned Dragon) make a 1-card miss hard to replace

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 30 main, 9 extra, 0 side; copy limits respected; no violations; Composition, copy histogram and card stats from the resolved card list; Usage statistics: archetype core list, with the in-deck flags caveat below
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric probabilities; Engine routes and recovery plans from card text; Interaction density and going-second read from text; Combo ceiling and floor scoring from text alone
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13, excluded from Structural); Post-side plan (not applicable in Duel Links)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample usage_statistics in_this_deck flags appear to ignore the Extra Deck: Twin Dragon, Creation King, Guardian Chimera, I:P Masquerena, Lyrilusc, Underworld Goddess and S:P Little Knight are listed as missing_core but are in the cards list (zone extra). Cross-checked against the cards list; core presence is about 18 of 21, not 12 of 21. Cranium Burst and Predaplant Dragostapelia are the only confirmed absences.
