Tearlaments Deck #772902 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link/Xyz boss beatdown with 3000-ATK Fusion Monsters (Tearlaments Rulkallos, Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) built through Tearlaments and Fiendsmith searchers; Fiendsmith's Lacrima ATK reduction and Tearlaments negation/board-control lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Tearlaments/Fiendsmith starters (Tearlaments Scream, Tearlaments Scheiren, Fiendsmith Engraver) to search and set up a Fusion or Link Summon; theoretical only because the list is illegal
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Tearlaments negations (Tearlaments Sulliek, Tearlaments Cryme, Trivikarma) and Galaxy Cyclone for interaction, then convert through fusion; no hand traps are present
• Recovery: Tearlaments Reinoheart and Tearlaments Heartbeat recursion from GY; searchers (Tearlaments Scream, Pressured Planet Wraitsoth, Fiendsmith's Tract) rebuild hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards and no post-side plan can be scored

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in OCG: three copies of the Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir, three copies each of the Limited Tearlaments Kashtira and Fiendsmith Engraver, and three Super Polymerization against a limit of two. The structural read is therefore theoretical only and is capped low. Within that cap, the deck has a dense searcher suite (19 searcher-text cards, about 0.89 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening) and a credible 3000-ATK fusion finish, so consistency and closing power score moderately. It is a multi-archetype build (exact Tearlaments purity 18.6%, with Fiendsmith, Kashtira and Mulcharmy cards), which lowers main-deck efficiency and pilotability. It has no hand traps and no side deck, so going-second and post-side scores are weak. No combos were supplied and no tournament or win-rate data exists, so the combo and meta scores are inferred from card text and the archetype usage table. Popularity in the guide snippet did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49.2, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4); illegal list cap (-11). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*49.2 + 0.20*42 - 12 = 36, then capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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 suite (19 searcher-text cards) gives high starter access
• Multiple 3000-ATK fusion finishers and Lacrima's field ATK reduction
• Negation/removal breadth (9 negation-text, 27 removal-text cards)
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with diverse fusion/xyz/link options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir plus over-limit Kashtira, Engraver and Super Polymerization
• Zero hand traps and zero floodgates weaken going-second play
• Three archetypes compete for the same hand (18.6% exact purity)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Fusion Summon routes depend on a small number of Fiendsmith/Tearlaments starters that are Limited to one copy
• Kashtira Fenrir being Forbidden removes an engine piece the list currently depends on

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts within OCG size rules; Four copy-limit violations, including Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir; Card text and ATK/DEF values for listed cards; Archetype purity 18.6% and extra-deck breakdown
• Observed: Usage table: Tearlaments Scheiren, Havnis and Merrli are core cards in 90–100% of archetype decks
• Inferred: Starter consistency ≈ 0.91 in a 5-card opening (hypergeometric proxy); Going-second interaction is weak (no hand traps); Negation/removal breadth suggests midrange-to-control interaction
• Provisional: Matchup and format-fit scores (no dated meta sample); Top-tier status from a single guide snippet
• 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 — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown side deck is empty — post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
