Legality

Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fill the Graveyard with Memento monsters so that Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK) can be Special Summoned from hand or GY by shuffling 5 other Memento monsters with different names; secondary win condition is Fusion Summoning Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (3000 ATK), Mementotlan Twin Dragon, or Mementotlan-Horned Dragon.; Fusion Summon Memento Fusion Monsters through Mementotlan Fusion and Mementotlan Shleepy, then attack through Mementoal Tecuhtlica's direct-attack and battle-destruction text.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Memento starter (Mementotlan Fusion, Mementotlan Bone Party, Mementotlan Angwitch, Mementotlan Ghattic, or Mementotlan Akihiron), use the searchers and Special Summon text to put Memento monsters into the GY, and build toward the Tecuhtlica boss. Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia supply the draw engine.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Evenly Matched, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild the GY engine on the following turn.
• Recovery: Recur Memento monsters from the GY with Mementotlan Ghattic, Mementotlan Shleepy, Mementotlan Akihiron and Mementotlan Dark Blade (per the card text excerpts); Mementotlan-Horned Dragon is a GY-count Special Summon.
• After siding: No side deck is present (0 cards). No post-side plan can be evaluated (Gap).

Why it scores here

This Memento list is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. It is Illegal under the TCG copy limit (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2), so the final score is capped at 35 and the evaluation is theoretical/structural only. Its engine fills the Graveyard with Memento monsters to reach the 5000 ATK Mementoal Tecuhtlica and the Creation King, which gives high ceiling scores (D3, D9), but no recorded boards exist, so median output (D4) is Inferred and held at mid-range by brick risk and GY dependence. Thirteen hand traps and 29 removal-text cards give strong interaction and going-second coverage (P≥1 hand trap going second ≈ 0.82, Inferred), while the absence of any side deck (D12) and low exact-archetype purity (36.2%) pull reliability down. Popularity and usage statistics only confirm that the list is real and accessible; they earned no points, and Meta Power stays null/provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary with Stun secondary; Stun contributes interaction-weight context only. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-8); No side deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(60) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 46 raw; Illegal-deck cap applied -> 35 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥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

• High-ceiling bosses: Mementoal Tecuhtlica (5000 ATK) and Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (3000 ATK)
• 13 hand traps with P≥1 going second ≈ 0.82 (Inferred)
• Core archetype cards are present: 13 of 25 usage-core cards, including the Memento engine starters

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring over the copy limit (3 vs 2)
• No side deck; no post-side plan
• Low exact-name archetype purity (36.2%) with 44 off-archetype copies and 24 tech cards
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Mementoal Tecuhtlica needs 5 other Memento monsters with different names in hand/GY, so the GY-fill engine must be live
• Each 3-copy starter (Fusion, Bone Party, Angwitch) is only ≈0.25 likely in a 5-card opening hand
• Going second relies on 13 hand traps; the engine stalls if the hand has only interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 counts and copy histogram (1:13, 2:6, 3:10); Banlist statuses: Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Pot of Prosperity and S:P Little Knight are Limited at 1 copy each; Super Polymerization is Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Card text excerpts for Memento starters, GY recursion and Tecuhtlica summon condition
• Inferred: Starter and searcher hand probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Hand-trap going-second coverage ≈ 0.82; Ceiling and median combo output read from text only; Interaction quality from removal and negation text; Brick risk from 26 level-0 spells/traps and 13 hand traps
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13 placeholder 50); Tournament reliability and post-side adaptability
• 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 going-first, going-second, matchup or brick/starter rates Meta Power is provisional: no dated metagame sample supplied no side deck (0 cards): post-side plan cannot be evaluated
