Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 43/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, FTK/Alternate-Win
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a large Extra Deck monster (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, Invoked Oceanus, Fiendsmith's Lacrima) from searched starters, then convert the board with ATK pressure; Tearlaments and Fiendsmith recursion lines that rebuild a board from the Graveyard and banished zone after interruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 starter from the Deck (Tearlaments Scream, Reinoheart, Grief, or Aleister the Reminiscent) that searches or Special Summons into a Fusion or Link route; hand traps are held for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Maxx "C" and Droll & Lock Bird as hand interruption on the opponent's Special Summons and draws, then a Fusion route through Aleister-link monsters on the next turn
• Recovery: Tearlaments Havnis, Merrli, and Heartbeat recover monsters or Traps from the Graveyard and banished zone; Aiwass and Aleister tutor the next Aleister monster
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (Side Deck size 0); no post-side plan can be evaluated from the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is legal and has a high searcher density (21 searcher-text cards, 98% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand), so it reliably opens a starter. The starters belong to three separate engines (Tearlaments, Fiendsmith, and a thin Invoked/Aleister core), so the first turn is accessible but the second turn is not reliably coherent. Interaction is above average for a non-control deck: Maxx "C", Droll & Lock Bird, Trivikarma, Tearlaments Metanoise, Tearlaments Sulliek, and Virakam cover several interruption types. The closing power is the strongest axis, since Hyperinvoked Aeon, Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, and Invoked Oceanus reach 3000 ATK or more. Popularity did not earn points: the Invoked archetype core is largely absent (only 3 of 22 usage-core cards are present, 7.3% exact-name purity), and no combo, tournament, or win-rate evidence exists, so the score comes from the system's consistency, recursion, and closing power, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 44. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-3); Engine conflicts and dead Extra slots (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51 + 0.20*44 - 7 = 42.6, rounded to 43 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.42 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and starter access: 21 searcher-text cards and 3-copy starters (Scream, Reinoheart, Grief, Aleister) give very high P(>=1 starter in opening hand)
• Layered interaction: Maxx "C", Droll & Lock Bird, Trivikarma, Metanoise, Sulliek, and Tearlaments negations interrupt both Special Summons and effects
• High end-board ATK: Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800, Kaleido-Heart 3000, Oceanus 3000, plus Fiendsmith's Lacrima's -600 field effect
• Graveyard recursion through Tearlaments Havnis, Merrli, Heartbeat, and Reinoheart keeps the deck going after single removal

Weaknesses

• No coherent single engine: Tearlaments, Fiendsmith, and Invoked cards are mixed with only 7.3% exact-name purity
• Fourteen single-copy Limited cards mean key engine pieces cannot be replaced if one is removed or drawn dead
• No Side Deck: zero post-side flexibility against any matchup
• Several Extra Deck slots lack Main-Deck support: Evilswarm Exciton Knight (no Lswarm), Predaplant Dragostapelia (no Predaplant), and Tearlaments Rulkallos (requires Kitkallos, not in the list)
• Core Invoked staples are absent (Invocation, Aleister the Invoker of Madness, Ash Blossom, Magical Meltdown, Super Polymerization); only 3 of 22 usage-core cards are present

Critical choke points

• Aleister the Reminiscent (3 copies) and Aiwass (2 copies) are the only Aleister-material sources for Invoked Fusions and Hyperinvoked Aeon, so a single removal or Droll lock on them stalls the Fusion route
• Fiendsmith's Lacrima and Engraver are Limited single copies; losing either removes the Fiendsmith Fusion route
• Maxx "C" and Droll & Lock Bird are the only hand-trap interaction (2 cards), so the going-second plan has almost no redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, all within size_rules; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts match banlist status in restricted cards; Archetype purity is 7.3% exact-name; 3 of 22 usage-core cards are present; End-board ATK values of Aeon 3800, Kaleido-Heart 3000, Oceanus 3000
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5) ≈ 0.98 from searcher-text group, which counts text hints rather than verified starter lines; Archetype-core proxy P(none in 5) ≈ 0.42; Interaction and recursion quality from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates from text and probabilities
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit, since no dated metagame or tournament data exists; D12 side adaptability, since no Side Deck is registered
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No guides for the archetype (total guides 0) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
