Tearlaments Deck #762110 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mill-fuelled Tearlaments boss pressure: Reinoheart, Kitkallos, Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart convert GY recursion into 2300-3000 ATK bodies.; Fiendsmith Desirae and Undying Legion as late-game boss or negate-based closers; Dragostapelia adds a second 2700 ATK threat.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Tearlaments starter (Scheiren or Engraver/Tract line), mill 3 with Scream or Havnis, then use Reinoheart or a Fusion from Extra to put a boss on board while holding Ash Blossom, Droll or Maxx C for the opponent's first response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold hand traps (Ash x3, Droll x2, Maxx C) against the opponent's first Special Summon or search, then revive through the GY engine on the next turn.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY: Reinoheart, Lacrima and Engraver special-summon from the graveyard, and Foolish Burial Goods, Tract or Grief refill the next starter.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck in this export (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens functional lines because 14 cards carry searcher text (P of at least one in the opening 5 is about 0.90) and several monsters can start the engine, including Scheiren, Havnis, Reinoheart, Engraver and Kashtira Fenrir. It converts that access into pressure through a mill-and-revive Tearlaments loop and a Extra Deck of six Fusion, six Link and three Xyz monsters that produce 2700-3000 ATK boards. Hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Droll x2, Maxx C) give it real going-second resilience, with about a 0.65 chance of at least one in the six-card going-second hand. Its weaknesses are a 31 percent exact-archetype purity, with Fiendsmith, Mulcharmy and Kashtira splashes diluting the engine, and single-copy Kashtira and Kitkallos pieces that create choke points. Popularity and archetype share were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score; the score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the system (combo evidence absent, so the ceiling read is Inferred).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-3); Banlist exposure (-1); Single Extra-Deck dependence (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• Searcher density: 14 searcher-text cards give about 0.90 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 (Inferred).
• Six hand traps (Ash x3, Droll x2, Maxx C) and Sulliek/Metanoise/Cryme give layered interaction on both turns.
• Extra Deck is fully used with high-ATK boss options (Rulkallos 3000, Kaleido-Heart 3000, Desirae 2800).
• Graveyard recursion (Reinoheart, Lacrima, Engraver) gives recovery after disruption.

Weaknesses

• Exact-archetype purity is only 30.9 percent; splashes of Fiendsmith, Mulcharmy and Kashtira dilute the engine.
• Turn-1 monster access is thin: Scheiren x2 is about 0.24 in the opening 5.
• Several single-copy Limited pieces (Kitkallos, Kashtira, Instant Fusion, Mudora) are choke points if drawn dead.
• No side deck in Master Duel, so no post-side adaptation.

Critical choke points

• Turn-1 monster starter (Scheiren/Havnis/Engraver) before the opponent's first interaction.
• Single Kitkallos or Tearlaments Kashtira for the Tearlaments boss route.
• Mill count: the GY engine needs enough Tearlaments in the GY, which Scream/Havnis mill can under-deliver.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side within master-duel size rules; no copy-limit violations.; Restricted card status: Limited and Semi-Limited copies all at or under legal limits.; Card text and stats for every listed card, including Extra Deck type split (6 Link, 6 Fusion, 3 Xyz).; Usage statistics show Tearlaments core cards at 100 percent inclusion in the archetype sample.
• Observed: Guide snippet describes the deck as a mill-to-GY Tearlaments build with recovery and boss-on-board reach (single guide, section_count 0).
• Inferred: Turn-1 and turn-2 starter probabilities and hand-trap coverage from hypergeometric estimates.; Ceiling and floor read from card text; no combos supplied.; Engine-conflict penalty from splash composition.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample.; Matchup fit (D13) and side adaptability (D12) are provisional.
• 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, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown usage_statistics in_this_deck flags disagree with the card list for Extra Deck cards (Kaleido-Heart, Kitkallos, Rulkallos, Pilgrim Reaper, Fiendsmith's Lacrima are marked absent in missing_core though listed in cards); extra-deck usage matching is unreliable and was not used for scoring Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; evaluation keyed on deck.id 762110
