Tearlaments Deck #765486 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Graveyard-triggered Tearlaments bosses (Rulkallos, Kitkallos, Kaleido-Heart) and Fiendsmith Fusion/Link pressure after a mill-based board; Fiendsmith Desirae and Fiendsmith Link monsters as a second boss package
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Tearlaments Scream, Havnis or Reinoheart to mill and trigger GY effects, then extend into a Tearlaments Fusion or Fiendsmith Link; hold Ash Blossom and Maxx C for a fallback
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with a hand trap (Ash Blossom or Maxx C) on the opponent's first summon, then use Havnis or Reinoheart from the GY to rebuild a board; Cryme and Sulliek provide backrow negation
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion: Reinoheart and Fiendsmith Lacrima revive from the GY, and Tearlaments Kitkallos and Rulkallos re-summon Tearlaments bodies
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list runs no Side Deck (0 of 15 allowed), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Tearlaments engine: about 92% of going-first opening hands contain at least one of the 15 Scream, Havnis, Reinoheart, Fuwalos or Fenrir starters (hypergeometric, Inferred), and the mill-into-GY triggers give it several independent lines. Interaction is layered across Ash Blossom and Maxx C, the Tearlaments traps Cryme and Sulliek, and Rulkallos negation, although only about 43% of going-first hands and about 49% of going-second hands see a hand trap. Conversion to pressure runs through 3000-ATK Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart and 2800-ATK Desirae, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. The score is held down by the build itself: only 31% of the deck is exact-name Tearlaments, nine copies come from Fiendsmith, and the extra deck splits across three engines, with no Side Deck to adapt. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction read on the whole system; popularity and card-by-card power were not used.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo/Stun secondary read; Midrange profile used for the structural score. Structural ≈ 67, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); engine conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, null); 0.80*66.6 + 0.20*58 - 4 ≈ 60.9

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Many 3-copy Normal-summon starters (Scream, Havnis, Reinoheart, Fuwalos, Fenrir) give high opening-hand access
• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom x3, Maxx C, Cryme, Sulliek, Metanoise and Rulkallos negation
• High-attack Extra Deck closers at 2800-3000 ATK, with Graveyard recursion to rebuild after a clear

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity (31%) and a Fiendsmith splash that dilutes the engine
• Only 4 hand traps: about half of going-second hands see one
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Graveyard mill setup: if the first Normal Summon is answered, the GY-trigger engine stalls
• Single-copy Limited bosses (Kitkallos, Kashtira) and Limited spells are lost on one interruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within 40-60/0-15/0-15 limits; Copy limits: 10 Limited single-copy cards and Tearlaments Scheiren at 2 (Semi-Limited); Printed ATK/DEF of the boss cards (Rulkallos 3000, Kaleido-Heart 3000, Desirae 2800); archetype purity 30.9% and the Extra Deck breakdown (7 Link, 5 Fusion, 3 Xyz)
• Observed: Usage statistics show Tearlaments core cards at 100% inclusion (Maxx C, Reinoheart, Scheiren, Kitkallos)
• Inferred: ≈92% going-first access to a Normal-summon starter; ≈43% and ≈49% hand-trap access on going first and second; Midrange/Combo/Stun reading of the list; Interaction density and GY-recursion resilience from text
• Provisional: Format fit (D13) and post-side plan (D12): no dated meta sample or side deck to test
• Data gaps: The usage statistics in this deck flags are wrong for Extra Deck cards: Kitkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Rulkallos, Moon, Little Knight, Pilgrim Reaper, Dugares, Sequence, Requiem and Fiendsmith's Lacrima are all in the extra card list yet marked not in deck, so missing core cards and core_cards_present (15/25) are understated; the preprocessor likely matched only Main Deck cards no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate or brick telemetry exists; going-first and going-second splits and matchup outcomes are unknown Meta Power is Provisional (null) without a dated metagame sample
