Tearlaments Deck #765075 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tearlaments boss Fusion/Synchro/Link finishers (Kaleido-Heart 3000, Rulkallos 3000, Desirae 2800) produced from a mill-and-revive Tearlaments engine; Fiendsmith Desirae and Fiendsmith Lacrima pressure via the Fiendsmith Engraver/Lacrima/Tract line; Elfnote and Mulcharmy as secondary bodies
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tearlaments starter (Havnis, Reinoheart, Scheiren or Scream, about 0.78 at least one in 5 cards) or a Fiendsmith/Elfnote starter, mill Aqua monsters to the GY and extend into a Fusion or Link boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Havnis (about 0.49 for a hand trap in 6 cards) to stop the opponent's first summon, then use Havnis or Reinoheart to rebuild the board
• Recovery: Reinoheart and Lacrima revive from the GY (with banish costs); Tearlaments Heartbeat and Fiendsmith's Tract recover spells and traps from the GY and Deck
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no documented post-side plan; this is structural, not measured

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not by averaging its card scores. Its strongest part is an engine that reliably opens: about 0.78 chance of at least one Tearlaments starter in 5 cards (Inferred, hypergeometric), backed by 4 separate starters and a strong interaction suite (3 Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Cryme, Sulliek, Rhapsodia, Keldo, Mudora). Conversion is credible on text alone (Kaleido-Heart, Rulkallos, Kitkallos plus Fiendsmith Desirae), but there are zero recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-level inference only. The deck is weakened by four archetypes sharing one main deck (exact-name purity 25.5%, with Elfnote, Mulcharmy, Fiendsmith and Kashtira cards whose requirements conflict with the Tearlaments GY plan), and by a zero-card Side Deck. Usage statistics and the Vietnamese guide confirm the list is a real, accessible build, but popularity and archetype share did not earn any points, and there is no tournament or meta sample to support the Meta or matchup dimensions.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); (0.80*60 + 0.20*55) - 3 = 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Four independent starters (Havnis, Reinoheart, Scheiren, Scream) give about 0.78 chance of opening one (Inferred)
• Dense interaction: 4 hand traps, 6 negates by text, and removal-capable Kashtira and Keldo (Inferred)
• Strong GY recursion and mill fuel (Reinoheart, Lacrima, Heartbeat, Tract) for grinding (Inferred)
• High-ATK Fusion and Link finishers (Kaleido-Heart 3000, Rulkallos 3000, Desirae 2800) (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Four archetypes share one 40-card Main Deck; exact-name purity is 25.5% (Verified composition)
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified gap)
• Several reactive or archetype-locked main-deck cards raise brick and dead-hand risk (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Fusion and Link bosses need specific Tearlaments or Aqua material in the GY; a single Ash, Maxx or Havnis response can stall the line (Inferred)
• Going second with no hand trap (about 0.51 chance) leaves the first summon unanswered (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under master-duel rules: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side (0 to 15 allowed); All Limited and Semi-Limited copies are within legal limits; Archetype exact-name purity 25.5% and 41 off-archetype copies; Hypergeometric draw odds match a recomputation for 2- and 3-copy starters
• Observed: One Vietnamese guide describes a mill-centric Tearlaments game plan with boss recovery (truncated snippet); Archetype usage statistics list Tearlaments core cards at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.78 in 5 cards; Interaction density and resilience from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates; Finisher conversion from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13 = 50)
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Pipeline defect: usage_statistics.in_this_deck is false for all Extra Deck core cards (Kaleido-Heart, Kitkallos, Rulkallos, Moon of the Closed Heaven, S:P Little Knight, Pilgrim Reaper, Dugares, Fiendsmith's Sequence, Fiendsmith's Requiem, Fiendsmith's Lacrima) even though they are in the Extra Deck, so core_present_pct 60 and missing_core are understated; treated as a data error, not a real absence Deck title is null Guide snippet is truncated (section_count 0)
