Tearlaments Deck #773420 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tearlaments boss beatdown (Kaleido-Heart, Rulkallos, Pumpking the Great Ghost King) enabled by GY recursion (Inferred); Call of the Haunted Zombie boards with Army of the Haunted, Great Mammoth and Changshi (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tearlaments monster (Scheiren, Havnis or Reinoheart), mill and recur into a Tearlaments boss or Scream/Grief board, keeping Ash Blossom and Maxx C up (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C) and Stare/Sulliek/Cryme negations to stop the opposing board, then follow up through GY recursion into a boss (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Tearlaments monsters from GY via Heartbeat, Metanoise, Sulliek and Cryme; Pumpking and Grave Ghost recursion for extra bodies (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; sideboarding is unavailable in this list (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Tearlaments monster most of the time: P(at least one archetype card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.78 across 15 copies, and each 3-copy starter has about a 0.23 chance of appearing in hand (Inferred). It converts that opening into pressure through a mill-and-recur engine that returns Tearlaments monsters from the GY and puts high-ATK bosses on board, which earns the offensive and GY-economy scores. Interaction is layered (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Stare, Sulliek, Cryme, Metanoise) and carries most of the end-board score. The score is held down by 31 singleton main-deck slots, a 20% exact-name archetype purity that mixes in Call of the Haunted and Zombie cards, no side deck, and no combo boards, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference only. Popularity and archetype familiarity did not add points, and the score was not computed by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); engine conflicts (-2); wide singleton main deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*60 + 0.20*52 = 58.4, then -5 modifiers = 53.4, rounded to 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Legal list with all restricted cards at legal copy counts
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses across several summon types
• Layered negation and hand-trap interaction (Ash x3, Maxx C, Stare, Sulliek, Cryme, Trivikarma)
• Multiple GY recursion routes support resilience after one disruption

Weaknesses

• 31 singleton main slots and 20% exact-name archetype purity reduce consistency
• Call of the Haunted and Zombie package competes with the Tearlaments mill engine for hand space
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo data, so the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Opening into a Tearlaments monster; if the opening hand has none, the mill and recursion engine does not start (proxy brick ≈ 0.22)
• Hand traps are the main answer to going-second boards; four copies give ≈ 0.35 odds of one in a 6-card hand

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 60 main, 15 extra, 0 side within size rules [40-60]/[0-15]/[0-15]; Restricted-card copy counts match banlist status (11 Limited at 1 copy, Scheiren Semi-Limited at 2); Extra Deck composition 4 Xyz, 3 Fusion, 4 Link, 4 Synchro, 1 Synchro Tuner; Boss ATK values from card data (Psychic End Punisher 3500, Kaleido-Heart 3000, Rulkallos 3000); No side deck registered (Side Deck size 0)
• Inferred: Midrange primary strategy from GY-recursion plus boss-and-interaction text reads; Hypergeometric starter, brick, and hand-trap odds (0.78, 0.22, 0.35); D3/D4 ceiling and median from card text and guide snippet only; Engine conflict between the Zombie/Call of the Haunted package and the Tearlaments mill engine; Recommendations on singleton tech cards and Zombie World
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta-share data); Tournament reliability (inferred from D1, D2, D5, D12, D14)
• 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 absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) exists in YGOVN usage statistics.missing core cards is unreliable here: Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, Rulkallos, Kitkallos, Pilgrim Reaper and S:P Little Knight are in the Extra Deck (zone extra) but are reported as in this deck false, suggesting the flag counts Main Deck only Deck title is null; deck name is unavailable Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
