Memento Deck #773963 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 66/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, then assemble five differently-named Memento monsters to Special Summon Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK, attacks every monster once) and close the game.; Grind value with Mementotlan Twin Dragon / Guardian Chimera plus Mementomictlan revival, or convert Mementotlan Akihiron into direct attacks with Level 9+ Mementos.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Angwitch / Bone Party / Tatsunootoshigo to seed the GY, Fusion Summon Creation King or Twin Dragon, keep Mementomictlan or Cranium Burst as a follow-up layer, and use Forbidden Droplet / Book of Eclipse defensively.
• Turn 2 (going second): Break the board with Forbidden Droplet and Book of Eclipse, draw into extra cards with Mulcharmy Fuwalos, then rebuild the same Fusion line and push for lethal with Tecuhtlica or Akihiron-enabled direct attacks.
• Recovery: Recycle with Mementotlan Ghattic (self-revive when sent by a Memento effect), Mementotlan Akihiron (add back a banished/GY Memento when destroyed), Mementomictlan (revive a lower-Level Memento on destruction) and re-Special Summon Tecuhtlica from the GY by shuffling five Mementos.
• After siding: No Side Deck is built and Duel Links ranked play does not use one; adaptation is limited to Main Deck flex slots (Book of Eclipse, Droplet count, Cranium Burst).

Why it scores here

This is a compact 30-card Memento Fusion engine: 21 of the 30 Main Deck slots are Memento cards and 11 carry searcher/setup text, so the deck almost always opens some access to its line (P(≥1 searcher-text card in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.92, Inferred). It converts those opens into a real payoff — Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King plus Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation at 5000 ATK that attacks every opposing monster — and it holds together after disruption because Ghattic, Akihiron, Mementomictlan and Tecuhtlica all recur themselves, which is why resilience (D5) and grind (D6) carry the heaviest effective weight in the final number. The weaknesses are the mirror of its strengths: three Mulcharmy Fuwalos are close to blank going first, the interaction suite (Predaplant Dragostapelia, Cranium Burst, Droplet, Book of Eclipse) is thinner and more conditional than a dedicated control board, and there is literally no combo/board sample and no dated metagame data, so the ceiling/median split is text-inferred rather than measured. Popularity did not earn any points here — the Memento archetype's usage stats only confirm which cards are core, and the 21/30 purity figure is a construction fact, not a power claim. The score is a system read (consistency × conversion × recovery × interaction), not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.70 Combo / 0.30 Midrange. Structural ≈ 67, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 63. Modifiers: Going-first dead cards (-2); Compact self-recursive engine (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high engine density: 21 of 30 Main Deck slots are Memento, so an archetype interaction is nearly guaranteed in the opening hand.
• Multiple interchangeable setup routes (Angwitch search, Bone Party destroy-and-fetch, Tatsunootoshigo self-Summon plus GY dump, Dark Blade destroy-then-Summon, Shleepy Fusion on Summon).
• Strong closing power: Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation at 5000 ATK that attacks every opposing monster once, with Akihiron enabling direct attacks.
• Real recovery loop — Ghattic self-revives when sent to the GY, Akihiron adds back a banished/GY Memento, Mementomictlan revives on destruction.
• Genuine going-second package in Forbidden Droplet x3, Book of Eclipse x2 and Mulcharmy Fuwalos x3.
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Link and Xyz roles in all 9 slots, so any opening shape has a legal summon target.

Weaknesses

• No combo or board sample in the evidence, so the ceiling/median split is text inference and cannot be verified.
• Three Mulcharmy Fuwalos are low-value on the play, reducing effective opening-hand quality in a 30-card deck.
• Interaction is conditional rather than layered — Predaplant Dragostapelia needs a Fusion plus a DARK material, Cranium Burst requires an existing Memento board, and Droplet costs cards.
• Most real lines are two-card dependencies (a Memento to destroy/dump plus a card that rewards the destroy), so a single well-timed negation on the first Summon can still strand a hand.
• Empty Side Deck (0 of 9) means no post-side adaptation is available even if the event allows one.
• Extra Deck doubles down on Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (2 copies) instead of adding coverage such as Underworld Goddess of the Closed World.

Critical choke points

• The first Normal Summon / first search — stopping Angwitch or Bone Party kills the initial setup chain before any GY is built.
• GY access — the deck's recursion engines (Ghattic, Akihiron, Mementomictlan, Tecuhtlica) all depend on monsters actually reaching the GY; a banish/shuffle denial effect hurts materially.
• Tecuhtlica's summon condition requires five differently-named Mementos in hand/GY, so a badly sequenced GY can stall the boss until turn three.
• Fusion access — most payoffs need Mementotlan Fusion, Bone Party or Shleepy; losing those to a negate leaves only the small Link/Xyz lines.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 30 Main / 9 Extra / 0 Side, no size violations, status Legal under BanDuelLink; Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale is Limited and played at exactly 1 legal copy.; Card text for every listed card (Mementotlan Fusion, Bone Party, Tatsunootoshigo, Angwitch, Dark Blade, Shleepy, Ghattic, Akihiron, Horned Dragon, Mace, Goblin, Tecuhtlica, Mementomictlan, Cranium Burst, and the Extra Deck Fusions/Links).; Composition facts: 21 Memento copies vs 18 off-archetype copies, copy histogram 3x5 / 2x3 / 1x9, Extra Deck split 5 Fusion / 3 Link / 1 Xyz.; Archetype usage statistics: 12 of 21 core cards present at ≥50% inclusion thresholds.
• Observed: combo data reports total combos = 0 and scored combos = 0 — no measured board output exists for this list.; probabilities table: per-copy-count hypergeometric values (1 copy ≈ 0.167, 2 ≈ 0.310, 3 ≈ 0.434 in a 5-card hand).
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher/setup card in the opening 5) ≈ 0.92 and P(≥1 archetype card) ≈ 0.998 from the resolved 30-card list.; Full-brick / low-impact opening estimate ≈ 5-10%, driven mainly by drawing multiple Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Forbidden Droplets with no Memento.; Ceiling read: Creation King's Fusion Summon effect plus Tecuhtlica (5000 ATK, attacks all monsters) is reachable in a normal turn.; Median read: most hands convert into one Fusion plus GY setup rather than a layered multi-interaction board.; Resilience read: Ghattic / Akihiron / Mementomictlan / Tecuhtlica recursion provides independent recovery routes after a trade.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null — no dated metagame sample was supplied.; Matchup coverage and format fit — no tournament link, archetype meta-share or per-pilot record.; Side Deck adaptability — the list runs 0 of 9 Side cards and Duel Links ranked play does not use a Side Deck.
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied internal inconsistency: usage statistics marks Mementotlan Twin Dragon, Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Guardian Chimera, I:P Masquerena, S:P Little Knight and Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale as not in this deck, but the resolved cards array lists all of them; evaluation follows the resolved cards array the single attached guide (id 1484) has 0 sections and an empty snippet, so no human strategic intent could be extracted
