Tearlaments Deck #757727 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Tearlaments Rulkallos, Guardian Chimera or Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Four Heavenly Dragons into a 2800-3300 ATK board; Kaleido-Heart, El Shaddoll Winda or Predaplant Dragostapelia boards that use negation and shuffle effects to strip the opponent's field
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon through Reinoheart, Scream and King of the Swamp into Polymerization or Super Polymerization for a Tearlaments Fusion (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Crown, Sulliek and Rulkallos-style negation on the opponent's board, then Fusion Summon through the field (Inferred)
• Recovery: Reinoheart and Scheiren GY triggers, Grief, and Fusion enablers in the GY and Deck keep lines alive after disruption (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan (Gap)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Tearlaments starter in about 29% of going-first 5-card hands from three Reinoheart copies alone, but its searcher density (14 cards, about 85% to hit at least one in an opening 5) and four Polymerization-class fusion enablers make the engine reachable more often than the starter count suggests. Its ceiling comes from the fusion pool (Rulkallos 3000 ATK, Guardian Chimera 3300 ATK, Four Heavenly Dragons 2800 ATK), and its interaction is broad on paper: two Forbidden Crown, two Sulliek, Skill Drain, Widow Anchor, two Gameciel and the Rulkallos and Dragostapelia negation text. The score is pulled down by self-inflicted conflicts: Anti-Spell Fragrance and Skill Drain are floodgates in a deck with 27 Spells, and Pot of Extravagance banishes random face-down cards from a 14-card Extra Deck. The deck has no hand traps, no side deck, and no recorded boards, so the floor and median are inferred from card text only. The guide calling Tearlaments top tier and the archetype's usage share did not earn points; the score rests on the list's internal coherence, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.80 Combo + 0.20 Toolbox. Structural ≈ 53.4, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure: Tearlaments enablers Limited (-2); Engine conflicts (-3); Off-archetype dilution (-2); Redundant fusion enablers (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-5); Meta provisional (no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.29 · 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

• Fusion ceiling: Rulkallos 3000 ATK, Guardian Chimera 3300 ATK, Four Heavenly Dragons 2800 ATK
• Searcher density: 14 searcher-text cards, P(at least 1 in opening 5) about 0.85 (Inferred)
• Interaction breadth: Forbidden Crown x2, Sulliek x2, Skill Drain, Widow Anchor, Gameciel x2 (Inferred from text)
• Recursion: Reinoheart and Scheiren GY triggers and Grief give recovery after disruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Zero hand traps: no interaction on the opponent's turn beyond Quick-Play and set Spells
• Anti-Spell Fragrance and Skill Drain are floodgates that also hit the deck's own Spells
• Pot of Extravagance banishes random face-down Extra Deck cards from a 14-card Extra Deck
• 15 single-copy off-archetype cards dilute the engine
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Going-first no-core proxy is 37.5%

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Limited enablers: Scheiren, Havnis, Merrli, Kashtira (1 copy each)
• Four generic fusion enablers: Polymerization x2 and Super Polymerization x2
• Reinoheart x3 as the main Level-4 starter (P at least 1 in opening 5 about 0.29)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 47 Main, 14 Extra, 0 Side within size rules; All restricted cards at or below legal copies (Limited 1-copy, Semi-Limited 2-copy); Composition: 27 Spells, 15 monsters, 5 traps; 12 Fusion, 1 Link, 1 Xyz; Hypergeometric probabilities as computed by preprocessor; Usage stat: Havnis and Scheiren at 81.25% inclusion
• Inferred: Engine consistency (D1, D2) from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density and going-second plan from card text; Fusion ceiling (D3) and recovery plan (D5) from card text; Pilotability (D14) from sequencing complexity
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13); no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability and going-first and going-second splits
• 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 absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null Side deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be assessed
