Tearlaments Deck #757245 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion boss plus recurring Tearlaments beaters (Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Kitkallos) stabilised by GY-triggered Special Summons from mill; Link and Xyz pressure (Requiem, Pilgrim Reaper, Dugares) once the board is rebuilt
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal-summon or Special-summon Scheiren/Reinoheart/Havnis, mill 3 with Scream or Scheiren, then use the GY trigger to fuse a boss from the Extra Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Imperm, Droll, Maxx C) and Sulliek/Cryme to break the opponent's first board, then recover through GY-triggered Special Summons
• Recovery: Tearlaments Heartbeat, Metanoise and Sulliek return banished or GY Tearlaments traps and monsters to hand; Kashtira and Kitkallos re-summon from GY
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no post-side; the deck runs 0 side cards

Why it scores here

The deck scores from its system, not from averaging card scores. Three to five Tearlaments starters (Scheiren, Reinoheart, Havnis, Scream, Grief) with 14 searcher-text cards and 17 archetype-core copies give about 0.95 odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), so the engine usually comes online on turn 1 or 2. Mill-triggered Special Summons keep the line running after single interruptions, and the Extra Deck offers several independent boss routes (Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Kitkallos, Winda). Interaction is layered: five hand traps, Imperm, Cryme, Sulliek and Metanoise cover both turns. Weak points are the 15 single-copy main deck slots, the lack of a side deck, and the absence of observed game data, which keeps the score in the middle band. Popularity of the archetype and its guide were not counted as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*62.5 + 0.20*60 - 3 ≈ 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Archetype-core density (17 copies) makes the engine reliably live on turn 1-2
• Mill and GY-trigger Special Summons provide recovery after interruption
• Layered interaction: five hand traps plus Imperm, Cryme, Sulliek, Metanoise
• Several independent Extra Deck boss routes

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adjustment (Master Duel has no post-side)
• Six Limited cards in the core lower the deck's future stability
• Fusion lines depend on Extra Deck access; Instant Fusion and Super Polymerization are single-card dependent
• No observed game data to confirm floor or median output

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Scheiren / Reinoheart GY-trigger chain: losing them early leaves the engine without a starter
• Single Kashtira/Kitkallos access for Fusion routes

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all restricted copies within legal limits; Core cards and copy counts from deck export; Guide snippet lists Tearlaments mill and recovery themes
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter odds ≈0.95 from hypergeometric draw table; Recovery and interruption resilience read from card text; Interaction density from role tags and negation text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link); D12 side adaptability (Master Duel has no post-side)
• 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, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Master Duel has no post-side, so D12 is scored neutral
