Deck Destiny Heros #736210 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 20 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Triệu hồi Fusion HERO bosses (Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Trinity, Adoration) and outgrind through recursion and resource generation; Board disruption via Destiny HERO - Plasma (negate effects) or Xtra HERO Link monsters, combined với beatdown pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal/Triệu hồi đặc biệt 1 starter (Malicious, Faris, Vyon, Stratos, Denier), build 1 Fusion or Link board (Cross Crusader into recursion, or direct Triệu hồi Fusion into Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer), establish negate/removal, pass với 1–2 bosses
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand and deck resources to clear opponent's board (Stratos removal, Triệu hồi Fusion với board wipe via Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer), then pivot to beatdown or establish your own board control
• Recovery: Recursion via Malicious banish, Disk Commander draw, Denier deck top tutoring, and Dreamer Mộ Triệu hồi đặc biệt for battles; grind advantage via Liquid Soldier Mộ summon and Vyon banish recycling
• After siding: No side deck in Duel Links format (side count 0); deck composition is fixed post-side

Why it scores here

Destiny HERO is 1 resource-grind combo-midrange deck that reliably opens 1 starter (P(≥1 core card in hand 5) ≈ 0.9986) and converts into 1 Fusion or Link board với recursion and search chains. The deck excels at mid-turn recovery through Malicious banish loops, Disk Commander draw, and Denier tutoring, and runs multiple searchers and removal outlets (Stratos, Vyon, Liquid Soldier). However, it lacks 1 high median combo ceiling (no extended board or interaction density recorded), has moderate brick exposure (Mask of Restrict conflicts với Hiến tế; Plasma demands three Hiến tếs), and missing core cards (Underworld Goddess, Vision HERO Adoration, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer 0 copies) weaken the going-second board-breaker role and end-board layering. Popularity in guides and archetype usage stats (68.8% core present) confirm accessibility, but do not move the score; the evaluation reflects system consistency, resource efficiency, and disruption resilience, not frequency.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 59. Modifiers: Missing core cards penalty (-3); Hiến tế conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80·Structural + 0.20·TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied)

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Exceptional starter consistency: 99.86% P(≥1 core card in opening 5); archetype core density 13 cards ensures reliable engine activation
• Strong recursion backbone: Malicious banish → Triệu hồi đặc biệt Malicious, Disk Commander draw 2, Denier deck-top tutoring, Dreamer battle protection create grind advantage and recovery lanes
• Flexible Fusion/Link summoning: Multiple paths (Polymerization, Fusion Destiny) and four distinct Extra-Deck bosses với different roles (removal, multi-attack, stat-scaling, negate)
• Integrated searcher suite: Stratos (remove + search), Vyon (mill + banish-recycle Poly), Cross Crusader (special summon + search) maintain hand tempo across turns
• Modest hand-trap coverage: Nibiru (two copies, ~45% P(≥1 in 5)) and Dark Ruler No More provide reactive disruption
• Efficient 20-card Main: High card-draw odds and consistent opener via tight slot ratio

Weaknesses

• No median combo data: Absence of board evidence limits assessment of typical power output; ceiling may overstate average performance
• Single-choke tributing conflict: Mask of Restrict (Limited, mandatory for floodgate) blocks Plasma Hiến tế (three-monster Triệu hồi đặc biệt requirement), forcing strategic compromise between interaction and finisher
• Limited route redundancy: Plasma is the only negate boss; loss of Hiến tế pathway via Mask means single disruption can collapse negate plan entirely
• Missing core cards (68.8% present): Underworld Goddess (93% inclusion, 0 copies), Adoration (93%, 0 copies), Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer (73%, 0 copies), Wonder Driver (80%, 0 copies) weakens going-second board-breaker and end-board layering
• Moderate going-second resilience: Dark Ruler No More blocks effects but does not remove board; no dedicated board-wipe staple in Main Deck; Stratos reliant on HERO count
• High level-variance starters: Malicious (Cấp độ 6), Plasma (Cấp độ 8), Dreadmaster (Cấp độ 8) don't synergize với low-level (Cấp độs 1–4) searchers; no consistent Synchro avenue
• Tight hand space: 20-card Main forces 1-copy singles on supporting cards (Vyon, Stratos, Denier); single dead draw greatly reduces consistency

Critical choke points

• Plasma Hiến tế: Requires three monsters on field; Mask of Restrict eliminates this path entirely, leaving negate capability isolated to Plasma alone
• Starter dead-draw variance: 15 one-copy cards mean ~25% per-card hand draw for each tech; any two dead-draws in opening 5 is 1 functional brick despite 99.86% core consistency
• No board-wipe in Main: Going-second relies on Stratos (needs 1+ HERO on field) or Dark Ruler (effect-only negate, no removal); cannot clear established boards reliably vớiout Extra-Deck access
• Triệu hồi Fusion gates: Polymerization and Fusion Destiny require monster materials in hand/field; Denier/Vyon mill to Mộ before materials are ready can interrupt turn sequencing

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal: 20 Main / 9 Extra / 0 Side conforms to Duel Links size rules; Mask of Restrict is Limited (1 legal copy, 1 run); Card text and archetype assignments (Destiny HERO 11 copies, Elemental HERO 7, Vision HERO 5, generic 5, Mask 1); Usage statistics show Destiny HERO archetype core present at 68.8% (11/16 core cards included)
• Observed: Archetype meta-share: Destiny HERO guides mention Tier 1 status and 100% Skill inclusion in contemporary metagame (guides_evidence), confirming accessibility and popularity; Starter diversity: 5+ different monsters can initiate turns (Malicious, Faris, Vyon, Stratos, Denier) với distinct cost/effect pathways
• Inferred: P(≥1 archetype core in 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.9986 via hypergeometric from 13-copy core group; Full brick rate ≈ 0.001 (one-copy singles create draw variance; estimated ~8–12% non-optimal hands despite 99% core access); Combo ceiling from Fusion/Link paths: Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer (2500 ATK + removal), Vision HERO Trinity (multi-attack 5000 ATK), Adoration (stat-down control) text-based estimate ~68/100; Combo floor/median: No board data; typical output (one Fusion/Link + one float) estimated ~58/100 based on card redundancy and single-starter turn sequencing; Interruption resilience: Plasma Hiến tế as sole negate and Mask conflict reduces route redundancy; estimated D5 ≈ 56/100 (Inferred); Going-second board-breaking: Dark Ruler (effect negate only) + Stratos (conditional removal) + Liquid Soldier (recovery post-Fusion) provide modest tools; missing Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer and Adoration weaken this; estimated D8 ≈ 59/100 (Inferred); Pilotability: Hiến tế requirement (Plasma high friction), 1-copy starter variance, and Fusion gate complexity suggest moderate error tolerance; estimated D14 ≈ 55/100 (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share context only; YGOVN has no tournament link or match-level win-rate telemetry for this deck)
• Data gaps: No combo boards supplied in combos_evidence: best_line, median_power_index, board_per_starter, interaction_density_avg all null; combo power is text-only inference (semantic read of card effects), not observed frequency No tournament context: tournament_context.available = false; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; cannot validate format-fit against real metagame results No win-rate telemetry: YGOVN platform does not materialize going-first/second, matchup, game-level, or brick/starter/OTK rates; all performance claims are Inferred from deck structure and card text No guide strategy sections: guides_evidence supplies only snippet snippets (Vietnamese guides mentioning Tier 1 status and Skill synergy) vớiout detailed opening/recovery/matchup analysis Meta Power is Provisional: Without 1 dated metagame sample, Meta Power must remain null; Final Contextual formula uses 0.80·Structural + 0.20·TournamentReliability only
