Tearlaments Deck #774311 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion or Link pressure from the Tearlaments core (Rulkallos 3000 ATK, Kaleido-Heart 3000 ATK, Kitkallos as the enabler), backed by Kashtira Fenrir and the Fiendsmith/Baronne/Black Rose extra-deck threats.; Mill-driven recursion: Tearlaments Scream and Reinoheart fill the GY, and GY-sent Tearlaments monsters are re-summoned to rebuild the board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Tearlaments monsters (Scream, Havnis, Reinoheart, Scheiren) to generate a Tearlaments-named monster in the GY, then Kitkallos or Kashtira into a Fusion or Link line; Maxx C and Ash Blossom protect the first summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Havnis or Ash Blossom and Maxx C as quick-effect answers to the opponent's first summon, then Tearlaments Cryme or Sulliek to negate and rebuild through the GY.
• Recovery: Searchers (Scream, Lucina, Fiendsmith Engraver, Sulliek, Kashtira) and GY recursion (Reinoheart, Lacrima the Crimson Tears, Elfnote Lucina) re-establish a board after an interruption.
• After siding: Not applicable: the list has 0 Side Deck cards and Master Duel is primarily single-game ladder play.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Tearlaments starter: the archetype core is about 98% likely to have at least one piece in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric proxy). Its engine works through the GY, with Scream, Havnis and Reinoheart mill and recursion feeding Tearlaments Kitkallos and Rulkallos into 3000-ATK fusion boards. Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Havnis, Cryme/Sulliek negations) give several answers to a first summon, but the list carries about 14 splash copies of Elfnote, Fiendsmith, Mulcharmy and other lines that do not feed the Tearlaments engine, which lowers the median and raises brick risk. There is no recorded combo data, no side deck and no tournament or win-rate evidence, so the score rests on text-based structure. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points; the score comes from consistency, median output and interaction at the system level, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange, D13 dropped and weights renormalized over 95 (meta-neutral structural). Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers, with Meta provisional (no dated metagame sample). Structural = 5912/95 = 62.2; 0.80*62.2 + 0.20*58 = 61.4; modifiers -5 gives 56.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Tearlaments mill and recursion engine with a strong archetype core (about 98% to open a core piece).
• High-ATK fusion and Link end-boards (Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Baronne, Desirae).
• Layered quick-effect interaction: Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Havnis, Cryme and Sulliek.
• Dense searcher text (17 cards) for consistent access to key pieces.

Weaknesses

• Roughly 14 splash copies from Elfnote, Fiendsmith and Mulcharmy do not feed the main engine.
• Heavy Limited-card exposure: 8 Limited cards, including Kitkallos, which Rulkallos requires.
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.
• Exact-name archetype purity of 25.9%.

Critical choke points

• Tearlaments Kitkallos (Limited, 1 copy) is required for Rulkallos and is also a key recursion piece.
• Summoning a Tearlaments monster in the Main Phase depends on a Tearlaments-named monster being in hand; the splash lines do not replace it.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 43 Main (40 to 60), 15 Extra (0 to 15), 0 Side.; Copy limits respected: Limited cards at 1 copy, Tearlaments Scheiren Semi-Limited at 2.; Archetype spread: Tearlaments 15, Fiendsmith 8, Elfnote 7, Mulcharmy 6, Kashtira 4.; Core card stats and card text confirmed from the evidence card list.; Archetype usage stats: 25 core cards, one Guide present.
• Inferred: At least one core piece in opening hand is about 98% (archetype_core proxy).; Median output is lower than the ceiling because of splash lines.; Interaction density is moderate to high from hand-trap and negation text.; Going-first and going-second powers from structural weights.
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample).; D13 matchup and format fit (excluded from the structural score).; D12 side-deck adaptability (0 Side Deck cards).
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent. No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups, brick or OTK rates. usage statistics in this deck flags are false for 10 Extra Deck core cards (Kitkallos, Rulkallos, Kaleido-Heart, Pilgrim Reaper, Little Knight, Requiem, Moon, Dugares, Lacrima, Sequence) even though all 10 appear in the Extra Deck list. The matcher appears to check the Main Deck only, so core-card presence 60 is understated and these cards were treated as present. Deck title is null. Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample.
