Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mill-fuelled Tearlaments Special Summon chains into 3000-ATK Fusion boss (Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart), with Kashtira and Kitkallos as secondary bosses; Fiendsmith Lacrima/Requiem/Sequence boards and Gem-Knight Nepyrim as splash pressure when the Tearlaments line stalls
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Tearlaments starter (Scream, Scheiren, Reinoheart), mill the top 3 to the GY, and convert the GY into a Fusion or Link boss through Tearlaments Kitkallos or Rulkallos
• Turn 2 (going second): Quick-Effect Havnis Special Summon in response to the opponent's monster effect, plus Scream/Scheiren mill and Metanoise/Sulliek/Cryme interaction, then a boss from the GY
• Recovery: Reinoheart and Heartbeat recursion, Foolish Burial and Fiendsmith's Tract for re-searching, and Tearlaments trap recovery from the banished zone
• After siding: None in the export: the deck has 0 side cards, so no post-side plan is evidenced

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a live Tearlaments starter: the archetype-core group (16 copies) has a 93.5% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and searcher text covers about 96% of hands (Inferred from the hypergeometric draw table). Its ceiling is high because the Extra Deck holds 3000-ATK Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart plus Kashtira and Kitkallos, and the mill engine (Scream, Scheiren, Havnis, Reinoheart) feeds the GY those bosses need. Interaction comes from negation and removal text (Forbidden Droplet, Trivikarma, Cryme, Sulliek, Metanoise, Mudora, Keldo) plus Havnis's Quick-Effect Special Summon, but the deck runs no hand traps or floodgates, which weakens its going-second board-breaking. The score comes from consistency, median output, and interaction measured on the system, not from Tearlaments' popularity (archetype usage is context only) and not from averaging card scores; the Fiendsmith, Gem-Knight, and Forbidden splash (exact-name purity 25.5%) lowers pilotability, brick tolerance, and engine coherence, and the empty side deck leaves no post-side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.75 Combo / 0.25 Toolbox. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 69, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflicts from splash (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*62.2 + 0.20*58 - 5 = 56.3

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Consistent opening access to the Tearlaments engine (93.5% archetype-core hit in a 5-card hand)
• High boss ceiling: 3000-ATK Fusion bosses plus 2300-ATK Kashtira and Kitkallos from the Extra Deck
• Multiple starters and recursion (Reinoheart, Heartbeat, Metanoise) for interruption resilience
• Both negation and removal text across the main deck

Weaknesses

• No hand traps or floodgates; going-second interaction relies on Havnis timing
• Splash of Fiendsmith, Gem-Knight, and Forbidden lowers engine coherence and brick tolerance (exact-name purity 25.5%)
• Empty side deck: no evidenced post-side plan
• High Limited-card dependence in the Extra Deck and main deck

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Kashtira and Kitkallos are single Limited copies; losing either removes a boss line
• Reliance on the mill chain (Scream/Scheiren) to fuel the GY for Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart
