Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 26 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King or Mementotlan Twin Dragon from the Extra Deck, or Special Summon Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK) after shuffling 5 differently named Memento monsters from hand and GY, then attack for lethal.; Mementotlan-Horned Dragon Special Summoned from hand once 3 differently named Memento monsters are in the GY, backed by Mementotlan Mace control steal.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Memento searcher or Mementotlan Bone Party to add a Memento monster, use Mementotlan Ghattic or Akihiron to reach Level-specific Memento bodies, and build toward a Fusion Summon of Creation King.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Effect Veiler (6-card hand, about 42% to hold one) to negate the opponent's engine monster, then rebuild through Memento GY recursion (Ghattic, Akihiron, Creation King banish) and Fusion into the 3000 ATK boss.
• Recovery: Recover from disruption by recycling Memento monsters and Bone Party from the GY and banish zone, since Ghattic, Akihiron and Creation King each add or Special Summon a Memento card from the GY, and Fracture Dance or Cranium Burst can protect the board.
• After siding: Not applicable: the export shows no side deck and Duel Links is played as a single game, so there is no post-side plan to score.

Why it scores here

The deck scores as a connected Memento system: ten searcher-text cards and three Bone Party copies give about a 93% chance of at least one searcher in the opening five, and 19 archetype-core copies make a Memento card almost always present (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Its engine recurs through the graveyard, since Ghattic, Akihiron and Creation King can recover Memento cards, which lifts resilience and resource economy. Interaction is layered across Fracture Dance, Cranium Burst, Forbidden Droplet, Mace and two Effect Veiler, which keeps the end board contested. Lethal comes from 5000, 3000, 2850 and 2800 ATK Memento bosses. Popularity was not rewarded: the archetype stats only confirm the core is accessible, and the score is not an average of card scores. No recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only and carry a wide band.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62.2, Going First ≈ 67, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Unrecoverable choke point (-2); Engine conflicts / dilution (-1); Graveyard recursion (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional: no dated metagame sample)

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

• Searcher density: 10 searcher-text cards, about 93% to hold one in the opening five
• Recursion from GY and banish zone supports resilience after a single disruption
• Layered interaction: Fracture Dance, Cranium Burst, Forbidden Droplet, Mace and two Effect Veiler
• High-ATK Memento boss package in the Extra Deck, including 5000 ATK Combined Creation
• Legal and compact: 26 main, 9 extra, no banlist issues beyond Lyrilusc at its legal single copy

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Combined Creation is a single copy with a demanding summon condition
• Five off-archetype Extra Deck cards and 12 off-archetype main copies dilute the engine
• Veiler hand traps are dead when no opposing engine exists and only 41.5% to be held going second
• No side deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation: single copy needed for the ceiling line, needs 5 differently named Memento monsters in hand and GY
• Fusion access to Creation King depends on holding 3 Memento monsters in hand or field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal size and copy limits: 26 main, 9 extra, 0 side; Lyrilusc Limited at 1 of 1; Card stats and text for the Memento boss package; Usage stats: Mementomictlan and Akihiron at 100% archetype inclusion
• Observed: No recorded boards exist, so no observed combo frequency
• Inferred: Hypergeometric searcher, Bone Party and Veiler probabilities; Consistency, brick and interaction reads from card text; Recursion-based resilience
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and side deck adaptability (no post-side or tournament data)
• 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 exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied only one guide, with no section titles and a Vietnamese snippet; strategic intent is thin no side deck exported, so D12 cannot be measured
