Tearlaments Deck #772208 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion pressure from Tearlaments Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart and Kashtira-line boards, enabled by Aqua/Tearlaments Special Summon chains; Fiend/Horus and Xyz (Zombie Vampire, Pilgrim Reaper) boards via Fiendsmith Engraver and Imsety
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tearlaments starter (Scream, Reinoheart, Scheiren, Merrli, Havnis), search or send the top 3 with Merrli/Scheiren, Fusion Summon a Tearlaments boss, and hold Ash Blossom or Droll for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the four hand traps (Ash x3, Droll, Havnis, Solemn) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Reinoheart and Perlereino searches into a Fusion boss
• Recovery: Recurse Tearlaments Grief, Heartbeat and Metanoise from GY and banish-based revival of Reinoheart to rebuild the Fusion Material pool
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This OCG Tearlaments list reliably opens a Tearlaments starter at a rate of about 0.92 for the archetype core (hypergeometric, Inferred), and its four hand traps plus Forbidden Droplet, Trivikarma and Solemn Judgment give it real interaction density on the system, which is what earns the strongest dimension (D7). Its ceiling and median cannot be measured because no combo boards were recorded, so the Fusion-boss conversion scores (D3/D4) are text-only inferences and stay near the middle. The list is Illegal: five cards exceed their OCG copy limits (Kashtira x3 vs 1, Ash x3 vs 2, Super Polymerization x3 vs 2, Perlereino x3 vs 2, Engraver x2 vs 1), and the deck runs no Side Deck, so it cannot be built as presented. Popularity from the archetype guide and the core-card usage stats confirms the shell is real, but it did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score; the final value is capped low because the deck is illegal.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(53.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-6) = 44.8, then capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (copy-limit violations); theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 hand-trap and negation text (Ash x3, Droll, Solemn, Droplet, Trivikarma)
• Strong Extra Deck boss ATKs (2200–3200) across Fusion, Xyz and Link
• Core archetype starters present at high copy counts

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG copy limits in five cards
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-name purity (21%) and many off-archetype singletons

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Scheiren or Merrli as the sole Fusion-material enabler for the Aqua boss line
• Ash Blossom x3 as the only repeatable answer to the opponent's first interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Five copy-limit violations and Illegal status (legality block); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Boss ATKs from card data; Hand-trap and negation text on 11 cards
• Observed: Core archetype cards present at high copy counts (usage stats)
• Inferred: Starter P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 for the archetype core; Interaction density drives the D7 score; Ceiling and median are text-only inferences
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit
• 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 — post-side performance unevaluable
