Tearlaments Deck #736263 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Top 3 giải Việt Nam Master Duel Weekly Tournament VWT Tuần #82 — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link boss monsters powered by GY recursion and mill effects; Control and disruption via backrow negation and hand traps
• Turn 1 (going first): Mill 3 cards via Scheiren, Havnis, or Scream to trigger GY effects, recover resources, and Fusion/Link summon bosses
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx "C") and mill disruption to stall, then exploit bricked turns with S:P Little Knight or D/D/D Caesar negation
• Recovery: Shuffle GY materials into deck via Fiendsmith's Sequence or add back from banish/GY via Lacrima, Scheiren, and Reinoheart
• After siding: None available; zero cards allocated to side deck

Why it scores here

This deck operates as a hybrid Tearlaments engine supported by Fiendsmith, Gem-Knight, Kashtira, and Exchange of the Spirit sub-archetypes. Its strength lies in exceptional consistency and robust resource recovery, driven by a high density of searchers and GY-triggered recursion that reliably fuels Fusion and Link summons. While the end-board interaction and offensive pressure are solid thanks to versatile Extra Deck coverage, the list suffers from significant engine bloat and a complete absence of a side deck, severely limiting post-match adaptability and increasing pilot error tolerance requirements. Furthermore, missing core staples like Tearlaments Kitkallos and Rulkallos caps its combo ceiling and going-second board-breaking capability. Popularity and tournament placement did not inflate the score; the rating reflects a structurally sound but unrefined hybrid system hampered by construction choices.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: No side deck (-5); Hybrid engine complexity (-3); Missing core staples (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Exceptional consistency with 23 archetype core copies and 17 searchers
• Robust resource recovery and grind via Fiendsmith and Tearlaments recursion
• Versatile Extra Deck coverage with Fusions, Links, Synchro, and XYZ
• Strong end-board interaction and offensive pressure with multiple 3000 ATK bosses
• High route redundancy through independent sub-engine lines

Weaknesses

• Complete absence of a side deck limits Best-of-3 adaptability
• Heavy hybrid splashing creates slot bloat and potential Normal Summon conflicts
• Lacks dedicated hard board-breakers for challenging established boards
• Missing core staples like Tearlaments Kitkallos and Rulkallos reduces ceiling
• High pilot complexity increases error tolerance requirements

Critical choke points

• Dependence on milling 3 cards to trigger GY effects; early hand trap negation stalls momentum
• Missing Fusion materials (Kitkallos/Rulkallos) forces reliance on less optimal Extra Deck plays
• Zero side deck leaves the list vulnerable to unfavorable matchups without adjustment

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status and copy counts match format rules; Card text confirms GY recursion, mill triggers, and negation capabilities; Extra deck breakdown shows balanced Fusion, Link, Synchro, and XYZ distribution; Zero side deck confirmed in composition data
• Inferred: P(≥1 starter in opening 5) ≈ 0.99 based on hypergeometric draw odds; Low brick risk due to high searcher density and multiple independent lines; Combo ceiling capped by missing Kitkallos/Rulkallos despite strong recursion; Going-second power limited by lack of dedicated board breakers; High pilot complexity from managing hybrid GY triggers and sub-archetype chains
• Provisional: Matchup format fit rated provisionally due to absence of dated metagame sample
• 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
