Tearlaments Deck #762038 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 49/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Mechanic: Fusion/Link/Xyz, GY/mill-centric
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion or Link boards from Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, Rulkallos and Kitkallos (3000 ATK boards) after the mill engine fuels the Extra Deck; Fairy Tail 1850-ATK bodies and Magistus Fusion/Link threats as an alternate closing route
• Turn 1 (going first): T1: Scream, Havnis or Reinoheart (GY trigger) to mill and fill the GY, then Fusion Summon a Tearlaments boss, using Metamorphosis, Instant Fusion or Super Polymerization to reach it
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C or Scheiren on the opponent's summons, then rebuild a Tearlaments board from the GY through Cryme and Sulliek negations
• Recovery: The mill and GY-trigger engine rebuilds from the GY (Reinoheart, Scheiren and Havnis special-summon from GY), and Searcher text (19 cards) fetches the missing starter
• After siding: Not applicable: the export carries no side deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Tearlaments mill engine: the 13 archetype-core copies give about 0.87 probability of at least one in the opening five, and 19 searcher-text cards give about 0.96. It converts that engine into Fusion and Link boards at 3000 ATK, so the closing power and resource economy scores are above the middle. Its weaknesses are on the system, not the cards: the list splices three archetypes (only 26.8 percent exact-name purity), and the Spellcaster-only Special Summon lock from Fairy Tail monsters conflicts with the non-Spellcaster Tearlaments starters. The deck has no side deck and no tournament or win-rate evidence, so meta fit is provisional and reliability is held down. Popularity and archetype share did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange + 0.2 Combo (Midrange primary; Combo secondary, disclosed). Structural ≈ 57.8, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Hybrid three-archetype build (-2); Engine conflict (-3); Banlist exposure (-1); Dependence on one Extra Deck card (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*57.8 + 0.20*50 - 7 ≈ 49

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Mill engine is redundant: three GY-trigger starters plus Scream and Cryme recursion
• Hand traps cover both player turns (Droll, Maxx C, Scheiren)
• Fusion and Link bosses reach 2900-3000 ATK and carry negation and removal text
• Legal in full: every Limited and Semi-Limited card is at its legal copy count

Weaknesses

• Three archetypes share one deck, so starter and payoff roles overlap and conflict
• Fairy Tail Spellcaster-only summon restriction conflicts with the Tearlaments non-Spellcaster starters
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Fusion-dependent Extra Deck with 11 Fusion materials raises brick risk
• Several single-copy enablers, including Limited cards, make the engine fragile to a single removal or lock

Critical choke points

• Kitkallos or Kashtira (single-copy Limited) for the recovery and boss line
• Fusion material availability (Metamorphosis and Instant Fusion are the only two extra-deck access routes beyond Scheiren and Super Polymerization)
• Going-first starter access: Scream and Havnis at three copies give only about 0.33 probability each in opening 5

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 41 Main and 15 Extra within 40-60 and 0-15; every restricted card is at or under its legal copy count; Deck has no side deck (side_count 0); Card text for all 41 Main and 15 Extra cards is present in the evidence
• Observed: Usage statistics show Tearlaments core inclusion at 100 percent for the archetype
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Engine conflict between Fairy Tail Spellcaster-only summon lock and Tearlaments non-Spellcaster starters; Ceiling of Kaleido-Heart, Rulkallos and Zoroa boards read from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample supplied); Matchup and format fit (archetype meta-share not available)
• Data gaps: No parseable combos (total_combos 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample usage_statistics.missing_core lists Kaleido-Heart (28226490), Kitkallos (92731385) and Rulkallos (84330567) as absent, but the card list runs one copy of each in the Extra Deck; the stat-to-deck match is inconsistent, so core coverage (32 percent) is unreliable usage_statistics core list mixes in Fiendsmith and other off-archetype cards, which inflates the apparent missing core No side deck supplied, so the side-adaptability score rests on structure alone
