Tearlaments Deck #773816 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tearlaments mill-engine lines that reach the Extra Deck bosses (Tearlaments Rulkallos, Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, Tearlaments Kitkallos) and beat down with Tearlaments Reinoheart and Kashtira-line monsters; Xyz and Link boards (The Undying Legion, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS via its alternate route, Moon of the Closed Heaven and S:P Little Knight links) when the Tearlaments line is blanked
• Turn 1 (going first): Use Tearlaments Scream, Tearlaments Havnis and Tearlaments Scheiren to send the top of the Deck to the GY and fuel Tearlaments summons, then convert into a Fusion or Xyz boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet, Tearlaments Cryme and Tearlaments Sulliek to stop the first summon or effect, then rebuild the Tearlaments line from the GY
• Recovery: Recurse from the GY with Tearlaments Reinoheart, Tearlaments Sulliek, Tearlaments Heartbeat and Foolish Burial Goods, then re-enter Fusion or Xyz
• After siding: None in evidence: Side Deck size is 0 and no side list is supplied

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an archetype starter: 17 Tearlaments core copies give about a 95% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the 16 searcher-text cards add redundancy. Its conversion comes from the Tearlaments mill engine, which fuels summons toward 3000-ATK Extra Deck bosses; that ceiling is a semantic read of card text, not a recorded board, so it is scored as Inferred. Its interaction is spread across Quick Effect negations (Droplet, Cryme, Sulliek, Rulkallos), removal text, and one hand trap, which earns the endboard score but is not a going-second guarantee. The score is not earned by popularity or meta share, which are absent here, and card scores were not averaged: the system was scored on engine redundancy, interaction and recovery. Penalties come from mixed sub-archetype Extra Deck choices (29% exact-name purity), the Limited-status engine pieces at their legal maximum, and the absence of a side deck or any recorded boards.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo (D13 dropped and weights renormalized, since meta is provisional). Structural ≈ 66.2, Going First ≈ 69, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflicts (-3); Engine compactness and redundancy (2); Single Limited Extra-Deck boss (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 17 archetype-core copies give near-certain opening access (about 95%)
• Multiple independent starter types (Scream, Havnis, Scheiren, Reinoheart) reduce single-choke failure
• Quick Effect negations and removal text cover the endboard
• Extra Deck carries several 3000-ATK bosses

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured
• Low exact-name purity: Extra and tech slots split across sub-archetypes
• Side count is 0, so there is no post-side adaptability
• Limited engine pieces at their legal maximum

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Kitkallos is 1 copy and Limited: losing it removes the Extra Deck summon route
• AA-ZEUS needs the alternate Xyz route (an Xyz monster you control plus an Xyz battle), which is conditional

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, all copy counts within banlist limits; Card text and composition for every listed card; Archetype usage stats: core inclusion near 100% for Tearlaments core
• Observed: Archetype core presence (17 copies) in the deck list
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand probabilities (0.949 core, 0.935 searcher, 0.051 brick proxy); Engine ceiling, floor and interaction read from card text (no recorded boards); Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (placeholder 50); D12 post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos: 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Usage-stats conflict: Tearlaments Kitkallos, Rulkallos and Kaleido-Heart are in the Extra Deck card list (copies 1) but usage stats mark them in this deck=false; the card list was trusted Deck title is null Side deck is empty; no post-side plan can be scored Guide snippet is truncated and has no section titles
