Tearlaments Deck #756823 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Interaction (hand traps)
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mill-fuelled Tearlaments recursion into Extra Deck bosses (Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Psychic End Punisher, Zombie Vampire) that can be resummoned from the GY through Tearlaments effects; Fusion/Synchro/Xyz boss lines from P.U.N.K. and Fiendsmith splash pieces when the Tearlaments engine is stalled
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Scheiren, Havnis or Reinoheart (3-copy starters, P at least one of a 3-copy card in 5 cards is about 0.32) and mill 3 with Scream or Scheiren to reach a Fusion or Synchro boss; hold Ash or Maxx C for the first opposing response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to trigger hand traps (Ash, Maxx C, Droll, Ghost Ogre; P at least one hand trap in 6 cards is about 0.69) on the opponent's first search or summon, then rebuild through the GY
• Recovery: Recover Tearlaments monsters from the GY with Reinoheart, Havnis and Engraver effects; Scream and Heartbeat recycle backrow; Grief and Kitkallos re-search the engine
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel export has 0 side cards, so no post-side adjustment is available

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Tearlaments plan reliably: 16 exact-archetype copies give about 0.92 chance of at least one in an opening five, and 12 searcher-text copies give about 0.83 chance of at least one in five. Its strength is the system, not the cards: Havnis, Reinoheart and Scheiren recur from the graveyard, Scream and Scheiren mill to fuel that recursion, and seven hand-trap-type cards (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre) let it interact on both turns. Conversion scores come from text-only reads of 4000-to-3000-ATK Extra Deck bosses (Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Psychic End Punisher); no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is Inferred and the floor is not measured. The deck loses points for splashing 41 off-archetype copies across P.U.N.K., Fiendsmith, Heart and Exchange of the Spirit, which dilutes the engine and fills the Extra Deck with pieces that do not connect to the Tearlaments line; it has no side deck to adapt. Archetype popularity and the usage-statistics fit earned no points by themselves, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 100% Midrange profile; Combo noted as secondary but not weighted. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers(-5); Meta Power provisional/null (no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Engine recursion from the graveyard gives multiple lines after a disruption
• Dense interaction: seven hand-trap-type cards plus negate and removal text on both turns
• Extra Deck bosses reach 2700-3500 ATK
• Legal list with every restricted card within its copy limit

Weaknesses

• 41 off-archetype copies split the engine across P.U.N.K., Fiendsmith and Heart
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Several key engine pieces are Limited at one copy
• Extra Deck has pieces that do not connect to the Tearlaments core

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Scheiren, Havnis and Reinoheart at three or fewer copies each: the opening hand relies on one of them
• Limited one-copy pieces (Kashtira, Kitkallos) are single points of failure in the recursion line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 42 main, 15 extra, 0 side within Master Duel size rules; All restricted cards within legal copy limits (Limited at 1 copy, Semi-Limited at 2 copies); Exact-archetype purity 28.1% (16 of 57 archetype-tagged copies); Hand-trap, searcher and removal text counts
• Observed: Usage statistics: Tearlaments core cards (Reinoheart, Scheiren, Havnis, Maxx C) appear at 87-100% inclusion
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from the hypergeometric draw table; Going-first and going-second power from text and interaction density; Recursion and mill sustain from card text; Extra Deck coherence and pilotability
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta-share data); D12 side plan (Master Duel has no side deck in the export)
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the export Master Duel has no side deck in this export, so the post-side read is not applicable
