Tearlaments Deck #774848 — 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 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Fusion/Ritual boss lines (Tearlaments Rulkallos, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos) reached through Tearlaments and Light-and-Darkness Ritual searches; Fiendsmith Desirae and Fusion/Link follow-ups from the GY via Fiendsmith and Tearlaments recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Tearlaments Scream/Scheiren/Merrli-style starters, search Tearlaments via Sulliek/Perlereino/Heartbeat, and convert into a Fusion or Ritual boss while holding Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Kuriboh - Multiply!) to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through GY recursion and Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Recover through Tearlaments GY recursion (Reinoheart, Lacrima, Sulliek) and Fiendsmith's Tract searches; the Extra Deck has 15 distinct singletons that give redundant follow-ups
• After siding: None: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (D12 scored accordingly)

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal: six cards exceed their OCG copy limits, and Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden yet run three times, so the score is a structural read capped at 25 rather than a normal contextual score. Structurally the system reliably opens its archetype core (about 69% for at least one of the 12 Tearlaments/Fiendsmith-core cards in a 5-card hand, Inferred) and has dense searcher text (27 cards, about 96% at least one in hand, Inferred). Its interaction is broad (9 hand traps and 6 negation-text cards, with Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre) and its Extra Deck offers high-ceiling boss lines, but there are no recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are text-only inferences. The deck is weighed as a system: the score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience, not from averaging the cards' individual power, and not from Tearlaments being a popular or top-tier archetype (guide snippet only, no meta share). Popularity earned no points, and the Forbidden and over-limit copies are the main penalty.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (about 4:1 weight shift toward Midrange). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(54.2) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 52.3; minus 10 banlist-exposure modifier = 42.3; Illegal cap applied, theoretical structural-only, final = 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.69 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.31 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher text (27 cards) and high archetype-core opening odds (~69%)
• Broad hand-trap and negation suite (9 hand traps, 6 negation-text cards)
• High-ATK Extra Deck boss options (3000-ATK Fusion/Ritual bosses)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir run ×3 and six over-limit cards
• Zero Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-name archetype purity (16%) and 15 Extra Deck singletons across several engines

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden in OCG and cannot be legally run at all
• Tearlaments searchers (Sulliek, Perlereino) are copy-limited and cannot all be run as shown

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality violations and banlist statuses (Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir, Limited/Semi-Limited copies); Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 composition; Archetype purity 16% and archetype spread; Card stats and text for boss monsters
• Observed: Usage stats: archetype core partially present (9 of 20 core cards, 45%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates (≈0.69 core, ≈0.96 searcher, ≈0.31 brick proxy); Interaction breadth from hand-trap and negation text; Going-first/second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) — inferred or unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; name taken from archetype only
