Memento Deck #773973 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 8 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King and overwhelm the small Duel Links board with high-ATK Memento bosses (Creation King 3000, Tecuhtlica 5000) backed by removal.; Grind with GY recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Mementomictlan field spell) and strip backrow with Dark Blade / Knightmare Phoenix.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an Angwitch / Bone Party chain to build a fusion boss, then set one disruption (Book of Eclipse, Fracture Dance, or hold Forbidden Droplet for the opponent's turn).
• Turn 2 (going second): Break the board with Forbidden Droplet / Book of Eclipse / S:P / Knightmare Phoenix / Underworld Goddess, then Fusion Summon and swing for lethal in a 4000-LP format.
• Recovery: Recur destroyed Memento monsters with Ghattic, Akihiron, and Mementomictlan, and shuffle fodder with Tecuhtlica to rebuild the fusion engine across turns.
• After siding: Not applicable — Duel Links is a best-of-1 format with no Side Deck.

Why it scores here

This is a compact, high-redundancy Memento fusion engine: twelve searcher-text copies (P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.94) and six three-of starters (each ≈ 0.43) keep the deck live on most turns, so accessibility and redundancy carry the score. Ceiling lines Fusion Summon Creation King (which dumps three Memento cards) and can pair with Tecuhtlica's 5000 ATK or Horned Dragon for lethal in a low-LP format, while Forbidden Droplet ×3 and Book of Eclipse ×3 give genuine going-second and interaction tools. It does not reach the top tier because there are no recorded combo boards to confirm median output, nine singleton cards add hand-quality variance, and end-board interaction relies on generic tech rather than archetypal negates. The score comes from consistency, redundancy and reasonable closing power measured on the system — not from averaging individual card scores, and Duel Links popularity/format presence earned no points here. No dated metagame sample is supplied, so Meta Power remains provisional and matchup fit is scored neutrally.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Midrange only; Combo noted as secondary theme without weight shift. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Engine redundancy (2); One-of variance (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• High engine redundancy — twelve searcher-text copies keep the deck live most turns.
• Strong closing power in a 4000-LP format (Creation King 3000, Tecuhtlica 5000, Akihiron direct attacks).
• Six board-breaker copies (Droplet, Book of Eclipse) plus generic links give a real going-second plan.
• Solid GY recursion and grind via Ghattic, Akihiron and Mementomictlan.

Weaknesses

• No recorded combos — median output and ceiling are text-only inference.
• Nine singleton cards add hand-quality variance and lower the floor.
• End-board interaction leans on generic tech, not archetypal negates.
• No Guardian Chimera in the Extra despite being a listed core card.
• No dated metagame sample, so matchup fit is unmeasured.

Critical choke points

• Normal Summon / Angwitch line — negating or removing the NS can stall the fusion chain.
• Reliance on Forbidden Droplet / Book of Eclipse to answer established boards; drawing neither limits going-second play.
• Small Duel Links board (3 monster zones) caps how many bosses can be fielded at once.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: main 30 / extra 8 / side 0 within Duel Links size rules; no violations; Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale runs 1 copy (Limited, legal_copies 1); Side Deck count is 0 — Duel Links has no side deck
• Observed: Composition: 23 Memento-named copies, 60.5% exact-name purity, 9 one-ofs; Archetype usage stats: 12 of 21 core cards present (57.1%)
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in opening 5) ≈ 0.94 drives consistency; Six 3-of starters each near P ≈ 0.43; Ceiling line fuses Creation King and stacks Tecuhtlica; Interaction density from Droplet/Eclipse/Fracture Dance/Underworld Goddess
• Provisional: Meta Power / matchup fit — no dated metagame sample; Going-first vs going-second win split — no telemetry
• 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) — Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the resolved Extra Deck (cards marked absent actually appear in the list)
