Deck strength won't necessarily translate directly to damage capacity. Why? Because deck strength currently places too much emphasis on ATK. As we've seen in the last couple of events, glass cannons are not the way to go anymore.

On paper, Elite Megatron with the Flamewar weapon gives me a boost of over 10k in effective ATK if I use him to replace Episode Skywarp on my back row. The problem with this is that Skywarp's DEF is over 14k on the back row, while Megs is under 10k in the same position and Skywarp drops under 10k if you move him to the front row. Better to have a longer lasting Skywarp back there, as he will survive more boss attacks and thus have more opportunity to deal damage.
