Tearlaments Deck #768629 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tearlaments Fusion/Link Extra Deck boss (Kaleido-Heart, Rulkallos, Lacrima) reached through Tearlaments searches and Special Summons; Fiendsmith Fusion/Link pressure via Engraver, Lacrima and Requiem, with Horus and Dark Magician Chaos as board-presence backups
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter, then Scream/Scheiren/Merrli to send the top of the Deck and reach a Fusion or Link boss; hand traps held for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Havnis/Cryme to interrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild through Tearlaments recursion
• Recovery: Recursion from GY and banish (Reinoheart, Heartbeat, Grief) plus Tearlaments searchers to refill after a single interruption
• After siding: No side deck is listed, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably on paper: 15 Tearlaments copies give about 0.83 odds of at least one archetype card in a 5-card opening hand, and 28 searcher-text cards give about 0.98. Its recorded ceiling and median cannot be measured because no combo boards were supplied, so Combo Conversion and Floor scores are text-based inferences (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest area, with two Ash Blossoms, Maxx C, Cryme, Metanoise and Trivikarma giving layered negations. Brick risk is high: only 21% of Main Deck copies are exact Tearlaments names, and the list spreads across many sub-archetypes, which lowers Brick Management and Efficiency. The score does not come from Tearlaments being a popular archetype, and it does not average individual card scores; it also reflects that the list is Illegal (two Forbidden cards and an 18-card Extra Deck), which caps it as a structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-10) = 43, capped at 30 for Illegal legality (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Power null (Provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Dense searcher text (28 copies) gives high starter access
• Layered interaction from Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Cryme, Metanoise and Trivikarma
• Extra Deck bosses reach 3000 ATK with recursion from GY

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and an 18-card Extra Deck
• Low exact-name purity (21%) with many off-archetype cards causes brick and conflict risk
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Scheiren, Havnis and Merrli are single copies limited to one; losing them removes the main opening starters
• Extra Deck overflow means at least three Extra cards must be removed before the list is legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: two Forbidden copies and Extra Deck of 18 over the 15-card maximum; Banlist statuses per restricted_cards; Card text excerpts and archetype purity 21.4%
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric probabilities; Structural dimension scores and brick estimate; Combo ceiling from Extra Deck card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• 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 — brick, matchup, and turn-order rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied for best-of-3 evaluation
