Tearlaments Deck #773922 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Link and Xyz boss pressure: Tearlaments Rulkallos (3000), Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart (3000), Kashtira Fenrir and Fiendsmith's Desirae, supported by Tearlaments mill and GY recursion.; Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Lacrima / Agnumday link-and-equip pressure, plus Gem-Knight Amethyst as a secondary Fusion finisher.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Normal or Special Summon a Tearlaments monster (Scream, Havnis, Reinoheart or Scheiren) to mill 3 and trigger the GY-based effects, search with Engraver / Tract / Kashtira Fenrir, then Fusion or Link into a boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx C as hand traps for the opponent's first board, and use Tearlaments Havnis (monster-effect Quick Effect Special Summon) to convert the response into a board.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY: Tearlaments Reinoheart and Kashtira monsters special-summon from the GY or banished zone, Havnis re-enters after a card-effect GY send, and Heartbeat / Metanoise / Sulliek recur Tearlaments cards.
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards in Master Duel, so there is no post-side plan. Adaptation depends on hand traps and Tearlaments Cryme / Sulliek in the Main Deck.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: the archetype core (23 copies) gives a 98.6% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and the 16 searcher-text cards give a 92.3% chance of at least one searcher, which earns the consistency score (Inferred, from hypergeometric estimates on the Main Deck). It converts that plan into bosses through a 15-card Extra Deck with Fusion, Link and Xyz routes, and its strongest closers (Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Desirae) reach 3000 ATK. Interaction is broad but uses many single-copy, Limited cards (Kashtira, Kitkallos, Sulliek, Maxx C), and the Tearlaments hand traps and negations give layered answers on both turns. The score is held down by the absence of recorded boards (no combo floor or median), no sideboard, and a split engine that mixes Fiendsmith, Gem-Knight, Shaddoll and Kashtira pieces, including a mutual-cost EARTH Fairy pair. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*63.25 + 0.20*54 - 4 = 57.4, rounded to 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong starter density: 16 searchers and a 98.6% core-card hand-5 probability.
• Layered interaction on both turns: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Havnis and Tearlaments negations.
• Full 15-card Extra Deck used across Fusion, Link and Xyz with multiple 2800-3000 ATK bosses.

Weaknesses

• Keldo and Mudora conflict: each requires discarding the other from hand, so one is often dead.
• No sideboard in Master Duel, so no post-side adaptation.
• Engine is split across five archetype families (28.1% exact-name purity), which raises brick and misplay risk.
• Eight single-copy Limited cards carry the engine; any future limit change would hit it hard.

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Kashtira and Kitkallos are the main engine enablers and are not replaceable within the list.
• Keldo / Mudora mutual cost means one of them is effectively dead in most opening hands.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 42 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within size rules 40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15.; Copy limits respected: Limited cards run 1 copy each; Semi-Limited Droll & Lock Bird and Tearlaments Scheiren run 2 copies each.; Boss ATK values from card data: Rulkallos 3000, Kaleido-Heart 3000, Desirae 2800, Kashtira Fenrir 2400.; Keldo and Mudora excerpts both state 'discard 1 other EARTH Fairy monster' as the Special Summon cost.
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (P core in hand5 = 0.986; P searcher = 0.923) from hypergeometric estimates.; Keldo / Mudora conflict makes one of the pair effectively dead in most hands.; Going-second hand-trap coverage P(at least one in hand6) = 0.629.; Interaction density and layering from card text (negation, removal and hand-trap roles).
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup coverage (D13): no dated metagame sample and no tournament link.
• 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 for this deck (going-first/second, matchup, brick or OTK rates). Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample. Evidence inconsistency: usage statistics marks Tearlaments Kitkallos, Tearlaments Rulkallos, Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart, Pilgrim Reaper, S:P Little Knight, Fiendsmith's Requiem, Moon of the Closed Heaven, Fiendsmith's Lacrima and Fiendsmith's Sequence as in this deck=false, but the cards array lists all of them in the Extra Deck. The missing core cards list and core-card presence (60%) are therefore unreliable and were not used as a deck weakness. Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is a core entry in usage statistics but is not in this list.
