Tearlaments Deck #766856 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link pressure from Tearlaments Kashtira, Tearlaments Reinoheart and Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, backed by Nibiru and Light and Darkness Ritual boss monsters (Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos).; Ritual boss monsters (Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos, Black Chaos) reached via Light and Darkness Ritual; Hyperinvoked Aeon and Mudragon as Extra Deck extenders.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Tearlaments starters (Scheiren, Havnis, Merrli, Reinoheart, Scream) and Special Summon into a Fusion or Link line; Foolish Burial or Mulcharmy for card flow. Interaction is weaker on the first turn because most hand traps need the opponent to act first.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Kuriboh and Nibiru as hand traps against the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert the surviving hand into a Tearlaments Fusion or a Ritual boss.
• Recovery: Tearlaments Reinoheart and Kashtira recur from the GY, and Scream, Sulliek and Perlereino add search/recovery. This depends on the legal copy limits being met, so the recovery plan is structural only for this illegal list.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan is available in a best-of-3 context.

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is accessible: P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.87 across the 18 core copies (Inferred), and the hand-trap suite of Ash Blossom, Kuriboh and Nibiru gives a real going-second interaction plan. The score comes from how these pieces interact on the system (engine access, hand-trap density, ritual and fusion boss access), not from averaging the card scores and not from Tearlaments being a popular archetype; the archetype is only 15.7% exact-name pure (11 of 70 archetype-tagged copies), and 59 off-archetype copies (Light and Darkness Ritual, Mulcharmy, Kashtira, Kuriboh) dilute the engine. The list is Illegal: 8 copy-limit violations, including 5 Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Cross-Sheep, Dugares) and 3 over-limit copies of Kashtira, Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization. Under the rubric it is capped at 35 and labeled theoretical/structural-only. Combo, tournament and side-deck data are absent, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference and the Extra Deck is missing Chaos Angel.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.4, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); engine_conflicts_dilution (-4). Final formula: min(35 illegal cap, 0.80*53.4 + 0.20*45 + (-12) = 39.7) -> 35; no dated metagame, so Meta is provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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

• Accessible archetype engine: about 0.87 P(>=1 core card in opening 5).
• Layered hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Kuriboh, Nibiru) for going second.
• Multiple Ritual and Fusion boss routes with high ATK bodies.

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 8 copy-limit violations including 5 Forbidden cards.
• Low archetype purity (15.7%) with heavy off-archetype dilution.
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability.
• Chaos Angel is absent from the Extra Deck, leaving the Extra extender coverage thin.

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Kashtira x3 and Super Polymerization x3 both exceed the current limits, so the engine core cannot be run as built.
• Single-copy Limited starters (Scheiren, Havnis, Merrli) each remove a key starter route if drawn once.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, 8 copy-limit violations and 5 Forbidden cards in the Main and Extra Deck.; Composition: 55 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; archetype purity 15.7% exact-name.; Probabilities: P(>=1 core in 5-card hand) 0.8747 for 18 archetype-core copies.
• Observed: Usage stats: 9 of 11 core cards present (81.8%); Chaos Angel and W:P Fancy Ball missing.
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and hand-trap interaction estimates from text and hypergeometric draws.; Going-first and going-second splits (no board data; derived from text and hand-trap count).; Brick risk and recovery plans from composition and card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample.; Format fit (D13) and tournament reliability depend on the absent tournament context.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent. No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown. Side deck is empty (0 cards): no post-side evaluation. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
