Tearlaments Deck #769599 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Xyz/Link pressure from Tearlaments Reinoheart, Scheiren, Havnis, Merrli and Kashtira into Tearlaments Rulkallos or Kaleido-Heart (both 3000 ATK); Off-archetype Xyz and Fusion finishers (The Zombie Vampire 3000, Neo Galaxy-Eyes 4500, Grapha 3200) reached through the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tearlaments starter with the searchers (Scream, Grief, Metanoise, Perlereino, Tract) and summon a Tearlaments monster, then send materials to reach a Fusion or Link
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Tearlaments searchers and GY recursion
• Recovery: Foolish Burial and Foolish Burial Goods reset the Deck, and Tearlaments monsters in the GY can be revived through the Reinoheart and Kashtira effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its Tearlaments core (Reinoheart x3, Sulliek x3, Scream x2, Scheiren, Havnis, Merrli, Kashtira, plus searchers Grief, Metanoise and Perlereino) gives it searchers and recursion, so the engine can reopen after disruption. Interaction is dense (Ash Blossom x2, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Trivikarma, Metanoise, Sulliek, Doll Hammer), and the Extra Deck has high-ATK closers (Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart at 3000, Neo Galaxy-Eyes at 4500). Those strengths are offset by a 25.5% exact-archetype purity: the 40-card Main mixes Horus, Fiendsmith, Photon and Fabled pieces, and the 15-card Extra spans about nine archetypes, so the engines conflict and bricks are likely. Archetype popularity (the single guide and the 100%/87.5% usage-core cards) confirms the list is real but did not add points. The deck is Illegal because Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is Forbidden in OCG; the uncapped contextual value is about 42, and the score is capped at 25 as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers(-10) = about 42 uncapped; capped at 25 because legality is Illegal (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Tearlaments searcher and recursion density (18 searcher-text cards) supports rebuilding after disruption
• Dense interaction: Ash Blossom x2, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Trivikarma, Metanoise, Sulliek, Doll Hammer
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers: Tearlaments Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart (3000), Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (4500)
• Core cards match the archetype usage core (Scheiren, Havnis, Merrli at 87.5-100%)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is Forbidden and runs 1 copy
• Low exact-archetype purity (25.5%) and three competing engines (Tearlaments, Horus, Fiendsmith) plus Photon and Fabled pieces
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No combo records, so the ceiling and median are text-only reads

Critical choke points

• Reinoheart x3 is the main starter; P at least one in the opening 5 is only 0.34
• Horus enablers (King's Sarcophagus, Imsety, Hapi) need King's Sarcophagus on the field before they work
• Dugares occupies an Extra slot that the list cannot legally run

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Number 60 Forbidden in OCG, run 1 copy (status Illegal); Banlist token for Limited and Semi-Limited cards in the Main/Extra (legal copies match copies run); Deck composition: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; exact-name purity 25.5%; Usage stats: Scheiren, Havnis 100%; Merrli 87.5%
• Observed: Usage-stat core coverage 13 of 25 cards present (52%)
• Inferred: Starter probability (Reinoheart x3, 0.34 in opening 5); Brick and conflicting-hand risk from engine mix; Ceiling and floor from card text only (no recorded boards); Interaction density reads from text regex hints
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13), no tournament link
• Data gaps: 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 telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck in the export, so D12 has no list to evaluate
