Tearlaments Deck #770381 — 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: Tearlaments Rulkallos and Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart (3000 ATK Fusions) built from Reinoheart, Havnis, Scheiren, Kitkallos and Kashtira Fenrir; Kashtira Fenrir 2400 ATK and Undying Legion 2700 ATK Xyz pressure once Fusion bosses are gone
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Scream, Havnis, Reinoheart or Scheiren to mill the top 3 cards and recur Tearlaments monsters, then Fusion Summon a Tearlaments boss through Super Polymerization or Instant Fusion
• Turn 2 (going second): Maxx C or Forbidden Droplet to answer the first summon or board, then rebuild the Tearlaments mill engine from the Graveyard and Fusion through the opponent's board
• Recovery: Graveyard-triggered revival of Reinoheart and Scheiren from the GY, plus Tearlaments Sulliek and Cryme to negate and reset, keeps the mill loop going after one interruption
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list runs 0 side cards, so there is no recorded post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Tearlaments starter: the hypergeometric estimate puts at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand at about 0.94, and the 17 core-archetype copies give about 0.95 (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from a mill-and-recur loop that feeds Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart at 3000 ATK, and the Graveyard recursion gives it real resilience after one disruption. Interaction is layered across Cryme, Sulliek, Droplet, Keldo and Maxx C, but only one hand trap is present, so going second is weaker. No combo boards were recorded, so the floor and median are text-based and not measured, and no tournament or win-rate data supports a meta read. The score comes from consistency, recursion and interaction on the system, not from Tearlaments being a popular archetype and not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*63 + 0.20*58 - 5 ≈ 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Redundant Tearlaments starters (Reinoheart, Havnis, Scream, Scheiren) give about 0.94 opening access (Inferred)
• Graveyard recursion sustains the engine after a single interruption
• Fusion bosses at 3000 ATK close the game quickly once live

Weaknesses

• Only one hand trap, so going second has limited answers
• Heavy off-archetype splash dilutes the mill engine
• Many Limited cards are single points of failure
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• The Limited Kashtira and Kitkallos cards are needed for the Fusion route
• Going second without Maxx C or Droplet has no clean answer to an opening board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within legal limits (Verified); Core usage stats show Tearlaments archetype inclusion at 100% (Verified)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access ≈ 0.94 (hypergeometric, Inferred); Interaction density from card text (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample (Provisional); Post-side plan: 0 side cards (Provisional)
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Evidence inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, Tearlaments Rulkallos and Tearlaments Kitkallos as not in this deck, yet the card list shows each at 1 copy in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct (44) is therefore understated and was not used Deck title is null; the deck was identified by archetype only
