Tearlaments Deck #761449 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Fusion
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 11 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Fallen of Albaz-linked boss monsters (Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Rindbrumm, Lubellion, Mirrorjade) off Branded and Despia searches; the strongest engine piece, Albion the Branded Dragon, is Forbidden and cannot be legally run.; Bystial and Light and Darkness Dragon fusion or extra-deck beaters that convert a board once the first Fusion Summon lands.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Fallen of Albaz through Branded Opening or Branded in High Spirits, Normal Summon it, and use its Fusion Summon effect into a boss monster; the 2 Tearlaments-named cards that the archetype label implies are absent from the list.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first search or summon, then rebuild through the searcher package; hand-trap coverage is the only real second-player tool.
• Recovery: Recover from a disrupted board by searching again with the 25 searcher-text cards and by recycling Fallen of Albaz or Despian Tragedy from the GY.
• After siding: No side deck is present, so there is no post-side plan; best-of-3 play is not supported by this list.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a Midrange-with-Fusion system and not as an average of its cards. Consistency is moderate: each 3-copy starter has about a 24 percent chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, but about 25 searcher-text cards keep the engine findable, which lifts D1 and D6 (Inferred). The list cannot be played legally as built: Albion the Branded Dragon, Archlord Kristya and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden, three staples exceed their copy limits, and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a maximum of 15. Because the deck is Illegal, it receives no normal Final Contextual score; the value of 30 is a structural cap, not a competitive ranking. The archetype label Tearlaments is also not supported by the list, which contains no exact Tearlaments card, so the popularity of that archetype in the usage data does not add any power here. Going-second hand-trap density and interaction give the deck a moderate floor, but the empty side deck and the absence of recorded combos leave the median and ceiling unmeasured (Inferred).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Extra Deck over cap (-4). Final formula: Illegal deck: structural cap applied. Unrounded 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46.4, then context modifiers -12 gives 34.4, capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Dense searcher package (about 25 searcher-text cards) keeps the engine findable
• Layered interaction from Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird and Branded Retribution
• Fusion boss monsters at 2500 to 3400 ATK give closing pressure

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Forbidden cards, copy-limit violations and an oversized Extra Deck
• No side deck, so no post-side or best-of-3 plan
• Core Tearlaments cards implied by the archetype label are absent, so the list is not a true Tearlaments build

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz is the single engine piece, and only about 24 percent of openings contain it
• Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden, so the main ceiling line is unavailable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Forbidden cards, copy-limit violations, Extra Deck size 17 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15; Side deck is empty (0 cards); Probability values from the evidence pack
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draws and searcher counts; Ceiling and floor reads from card text, since no recorded boards exist; Going-first and going-second estimates from hand-trap density and engine text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit, since no dated metagame sample or tournament link is supplied
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first, going-second and matchup results are Inferred or Unknown No side deck list, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
