Tearlaments Deck #766415 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Tearlaments boss monsters (Rulkallos 3000 ATK, Kaleido-Heart 3000 ATK) through a Reinoheart/Scream/Havnis mill-and-summon engine that recycles the GY into Tearlaments bodies; Kashtira Fenrir and Fiendsmith Engraver/Lacrima lines as off-archetype extenders when the Tearlaments engine stalls
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Scream, Havnis, Reinoheart, Scheiren) or a searcher, mill with the Tearlaments engine to fuel the GY, then Fusion Summon Rulkallos or Kaleido-Heart using Brilliant Fusion or Super Polymerization
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Havnis (quick-effect summon on the opponent's monster effect) or Maxx C as the interaction layer, then rebuild the Tearlaments engine from the GY on the following turn
• Recovery: Reinoheart and Scream send Tearlaments monsters from the GY back to the field; Tearlaments Scheiren and Kitkallos re-fuel the GY; 13 searcher-text cards retrieve the next starter
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel is best-of-one with no sideboard (side count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck's Structural score comes from consistency and engine cohesion on the system, not from averaging card scores. Roughly 15 Tearlaments-named copies plus 13 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a live starter in the opening hand (about 0.88 for at least one searcher in 5 cards, Inferred), and the mill engine (Scream, Reinoheart, Havnis, Scheiren) keeps the GY fueled for Fusion. Ceiling is supported by Tearlaments Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart, two 3000-ATK boss Fusions with negation and removal text, but no recorded boards exist, so the median is an inference and is kept below the ceiling. Interaction is thin: Cryme, Sulliek, Maxx C and Havnis provide some negation and hand disruption, and the going-second plan relies on Havnis. The score is held down by splash density (27% exact-name purity across Fiendsmith, Gem-Knight, Mulcharmy and Kashtira), overlapping engines, and five Limited-status cards run at their legal maximum. Popularity and archetype identity did not earn points, and no meta or tournament data was supplied, so Meta Power is provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers (-5) = 0.80*62.2 + 0.20*60 - 5 = 56.8, rounded to 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Consistent starter density: 13 searcher-text cards plus 3-copy Scream, Havnis and Reinoheart
• Mill engine recycles the GY into Tearlaments bodies, supporting recovery across turns
• Two 3000-ATK Fusion bosses with negation and removal text give a real closing ceiling
• Legal in Master Duel with copy limits respected

Weaknesses

• 27% exact-name purity: Fiendsmith, Gem-Knight, Mulcharmy and Kashtira cards dilute the engine
• Five Limited cards and two Semi-Limited cards run at their legal maximum, so the list is fragile to banlist change
• Interaction is light: three negation cards plus Maxx C, with no board-breaking layer
• Multiple engines compete for the same hand slots, raising brick risk and pilot complexity

Critical choke points

• Fusion enablers (Brilliant Fusion x3, Super Polymerization x2, Instant Fusion x1) gate the boss Fusions; losing them to disruption stalls the closing line
• Limited-status Kitkallos and Kashtira are single-copy engine pieces, so their loss or a banlist change breaks a core route
• Mill-fueled GY recursion depends on the early engine resolving

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side within Master Duel limits; all restricted cards at or below legal copies; Composition: 23 distinct main cards, 15 Extra (9 Fusion, 4 Link, 2 Xyz); purity 27.3%; Searcher-text group of 13 copies and archetype-core group of 19 copies; Card texts: negation on Cryme, Sulliek, Rulkallos, Gem-Knight Hollowcore, Mudragon-adjacent effects
• Observed: Usage statistics: Tearlaments core cards at 100% inclusion (Kashtira, Kitkallos, Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Reinoheart x3, Scheiren x2)
• Inferred: Starter accessibility from hypergeometric estimates (0.88 searcher group); Engine cohesion and brick risk from splash composition; Ceiling and median output from card text only; no recorded boards exist; Interaction quality from negation text and hand-trap count
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side deck adaptability (not applicable in Master Duel, scored neutral)
• 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/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) — all Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck and missing_core flags are wrong for Extra Deck cards (Kaleido-Heart, Kitkallos, Rulkallos and others listed as absent despite being in the Extra list); no core-missing claim relies on them Master Duel has no sideboard; side deck dimension is not applicable
