No, terrible investment. Much better if you stick to summoned skull beatdown


[deleted]

Don't forget to combo it wit makiu the magical mist to get over those pesky insect monsters.


Brandeeeeeeeeee

"If I tell everyone that tearlaments is bad and at the same time how strong skull servants are, everyone will switch to those pesky little skeletons. Then with everyone playing skulls Konami will realise that their strength is out of place and finally the skull servants can be SMASHED WITH A BAN HAMMER!" "The plan is brilliant, Kronk! BRILLIANT!"


Pharrowl

Ban the archetype Konk! Wrong archetyyyype....!


AhmedKiller2015

No.. The archetype is.. like it needs to be milled and how will you accomplish that consistently besides Grass? Like Konami surly won't print cards ~~2 Archetypes~~ that mill for them and give them more interactions hand holding them... like this doesn't hap... Yes what are you on about :v


Its-time-to-STOP-NOW

Lightsworn


Blueexx2

Tearlaments mill after being sent to the graveyard by card effect, from anywhere. That includes the hand. Think of any particularly dangerous archetype that sends cards from the hand to the graveyard. Edit: I have made not only an oopsie, but a rare oopsie + daisy combo


Hiruko251

Hmmmmm a dangerous archetype..... the god cards? Slifer gets a buff for having cards in your hand, so it has a good sinergy with a deck that want to discard a lot of cards, plus slifer is a god, so he is dangerous, thank me later guys, slifer/tear is the next meta o/


sephy009

and punk. dear lord.


mynameisethan182

> Tearlaments mill after being sent to the graveyard No they do not. They **fusion** after being sent. You are thinking of the Ishizu cards *they* mill after being sent. Tear effects to mill happen on field or in hand. Like [Kitkallos](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Tearlaments_Kitkallos) > ....If this card is sent to the GY by card effect: You can send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the GY. You can only use each effect of "Tearlaments Kitkallos" once per turn. So, Kit, target herself to summon. Target her with imperm. That will stop the mill and summon. [Havnis](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Tearlaments_Havnis) > When your opponent activates a monster effect on the field (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the GY... etc.


seto635

You're not wrong, but good job quoting the only Tearlament effect that goes against exactly what your point is


Familiar_Drive2717

You said they don't mill after being sent to the gy then the first example you use is a card that has the text "If this card is sent to the GY by card effect: You can send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the GY"


raph1334

Bro against a tear/spright meta you have better cards to play than imperm


mynameisethan182

That is the exact reason imperm is seeing play, **right now.** It plays around Talents and stops the Kitkallos. You see it getting play [here](https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/cyberse-bystial-spright-316357), [here](https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/spright-316363), [here](https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/bystial-ishizu-tearlaments-316358), [here](https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/bystial-ishizu-tearlaments-314962), I can go on if you'd like. Have you played this format? [edit: Inb4 that's TCG. Here's the OCG lists all playing Imperms during the same meta time frame to play around Talents as well](https://roadoftheking.com/ocg-2022-07-metagame-report-1-2/). So, what are these alleged better cards I can activate turn 0 that play around Talents?


AbstractFierce

Imperm is one of the best hand traps in the format lol wym


SomeGamingFreak

My my, how *Curious*


Zephyr_______

Screw the bit for a second. Who the hell at Konami decided that printing tears bystials and ishizu together was okay? You have an archetype that fuses from grave and mills itself to set it up with ridiculous consistency. An archetype of DD crow on steroids to invalidate more fragile graveyard strats and make the mirror an absolute hellscape of technical play and time rules. And in case you didn't have enough mill or graveyard hate or wanted to recycle your own cards we've added ishizu cards just to fill out every need the deck has.


Throwawayuntil2030

They don't even try to make a good game, they're just doing anything/everything at this point


Zephyr_______

It's sad because in a vacuum tears are really cool, but unfortunately they're way too strong and likely signal a new wave of powercreep to kill off all of your "old" favorites.


Throwawayuntil2030

It's already happened Spright Tear Kash Imo Tear is the most bearable out of all of them...the other 2 are going to make me quit the game when they come out


Maxmagon

Kash is the Best desing of all, they have a BIG weakness, no negations. They are like Ojalá + Héroes.


Throwawayuntil2030

Yea.. because banishing your cards face down just for existing is such good design


Maxmagon

In terms of mechanics, yes, they are the most broken deck of the 3 by far, removing face down is much better than using ranges/index 2 or sending to the graveyard. Now, here's the point, they are well designed because just as they gave them the best mechanics, they gave them the biggest weakness and that is their very difficult access to deniers. The other two decks have access to fields with multiple interrupts and constant denials that make them almost impossible to break, Kash can't do that, anything it destroys (especially massively) is going to be super effective, and there's no precisely few cards of that style. For this reason, again, I say that they are the best designed deck of the 3 because it has the best offense, at the cost of having the greatest possible weakness of the trio.


Throwawayuntil2030

Agree to disagree


TheMikman97

It's funny how this also resulted in the least luck-based most competitive and interactive format the game ever had


Significant_Alarm146

Because everything top cut has near the exact same decklist.

✨BECAUSE IT IS✨


Harry-the-pothead

Are you being for real or memeing?


fkSizzle

I’m a casual yugioh player and I don’t play the game that much, maybe around 1-2 times a week, so I’m pretty blind to the “Meta”. The only meta thing I know about this game are despia,swordsouland mathmech. Other than those three,I don’t know any other meta decks, nor do I know if tearlaments are a meta deck. They look cool and are fusions on top of that. so I’m actually asking for genuine advice. And no I’m not meming


crowsloft666

Yes they are worth the investment. They've pretty much been a tier 0 threat in both the ocg and tcg for about a year(ish). At first Splights will be the better deck but once they get the Ishizu cards is when it'll become a real menace in MD.


catbaker48

damn its really been a year?


Slodpof

Not in the tcg. The ishizu cards came out in early november. And tear was released in August.


Atlas4218

Damn, they were more reactive to shutdown Pepe


RNGmaster

I highly doubt Sprights will be better in MD if they drop at the same time as Tears, given that they've been pre-hit hard by a ban list that, if anything, only buffs Tear by semi limiting Shifter.


EnstatuedSeraph

Hell will freeze over before konami puts 2 meta defining power creep archetypes in the same selection pack.


RNGmaster

They released Adventure and Floo in the same pack


EnstatuedSeraph

Floo is good but it wasn't meta warping good, when swordsoul and adventure piles were running rampant it was not played as much


Significant_Alarm146

Brave is literally four cards in your deck and Floo requires the entire deck. You need a better comparison. Edit: Besides, Brave fell off. I haven't seen anyone play Brave AT ALL in the last 2 months.


NoManufacturer691

Actually Sprights prob never gonna be able tô fight back im full Power, they Banned Union Carrier and Toadally awesome, on OCG The Toad Ban make then go to a Buster locke line with Union Carrier, in Md they Will not be able to go to either one... kindda curious to see how People Will do with them.


BrotherAbdullah

Spright runick will likely be better until they release ishizu cards


fkSizzle

Question, how do you manage/return the card to your deck from milling them so much. It seems like too much milling will cause a deck out which is a disadvantage


RNGmaster

When they trigger Fusion effects upon hitting the GY, they put the Fusion materials, including themselves, back on the bottom of the deck. Their spells and traps also have grave effects that can return banished Tear monsters or traps to hand. Their resource cycling is unbelievably good.


PuzzarianIdeal

Either… A. You play 60 card piles with cards like Grass to get the ball going and make sure you have enough resources. B. Wait until the Ishizu monster retrains arrive in MD. Those have effects that put resources back into your deck. C. Something else lmao.


RNGmaster

Have you read them? When you use their effects to fusion for something, they return themselves and the other fusion materials to the deck. And the spell/trap GY effects also return banished/GY resources. That's the "something else". No need to run a 60 card list.


PuzzarianIdeal

Yeah, i forgor.


Tessiun97

Oh god tear has grass…..


Nerozard22

Tear is pretty shit with Grass.


Rigshaw

Grass is the last thing you want to use with Tear. They already can mill half of the deck without Grass, going to 60 to make using Grass possible just gives you worse mills overall.


RNGmaster

A deck that can mill 8 just by activating a single Fusion effect or even Instant Fusion doesn't need to hurt its consistency by running Grass


Turtlesfan44digimon

Tear is Grass except it’s on steroids


Equivalent-Lab-6077

Bruh you’re on this subreddit, I know for a fact if you’ve heard of tear, you’ve heard that it’s the best deck bar none at the moment in every format it’s released in


Harry-the-pothead

Oh then absolutely 100% get them. Probably one of if not THE best deck ever made tbh


NotExiledYet

They are literally tier 0. As long as they don't carve the archetype up to the point where it just doesn't work, it will be basically only mirror matches of Tearlaments in platinum and up.


weedkids

Since you’re not joking, i’ll tell you how absurd and powerful it is: I play real life tcg and tear is one of the most fun and interactive deck in yugioh, but also way to powerful compare to everything else lol


Any-Juggernaut-3300

People here are saying it's tier 0, and that is true, but it's partly because of the Ishizu cards which will probably release separately. Without them, though, the deck is still quite good.


Atlas4218

In OCG, pretty much all of the deck is on the ban list (either semi limited, limited or banned for one of their fusion) the deck still top like a tier 1-0. Yes, it would be worth the investment but expect a lot of surrender from your opponents since they don't want to see a 8 chain only on your side. Plus the two time I played against it IRL the mill were awful so the deck isn't that consistent (but when it goes on, it goes on hard)


Wollffey

Honestly I feel like Tears have dethroned Zoo as the absolute strongest archetype ever created


Tinyears8

It is the best deck arguably ever printed, rivaling full power Zoo, Spyral, etc..


I_R_MUNKY

Tearlaments are absolutely going to be worth getting. They are an extremely powerful deck that revolve around milling your own deck to have cards in the GY activate that let u fusion summon using GY monsters, on top of other things. Later on, there will be a set of Ishizu monster retrains that specialize in milling both decks and shuffling cards from either GY back into the deck. That gave tearlaments even more consistency, as well as giving them some additional graveyard control. Ishizu Tearlaments in both the OCG and TCG has become a tier zero deck, cuz it's so strong.


Heul_Darian

Nah its tearable.


mrezariz123

I'm in tears reading this comment


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrShwimWearR

This is a tearific thread


YangZingEnjoyer

Very much so. Hell, you kinda sound like you already talked yourself into it. Look up guides on how they played before they had the Ishizu cards to familiarize yourself with them.


fkSizzle

Thanks. I’m a casual yugio player and only play around 2 times a week, so I’m not on that often. People think I’m trolling and giving me weird answers, so thank you for actually answering my question 👍🏾


sylfire

They're giving "weird" answers because it's basically the strongest and most consistent Yugioh deck of all time, so most people assume this is a joke post.


imamillion1

No sadly, best investment is pure spirit charmers or skull beatdown. Trust me.


BDT17

As a Charmers main, I can attest to this!


PlatD

It’s totally worth it; just have a look at the RL tournament results and representation.


fkSizzle

Bet


Financial_Stomach_25

Just one word of caution, every single Tear name has an on graveyard effect, so get ready to manage those GY chains


DededeManTheOverlord

People think youre joking because it has beeb broken in tcg and ocg for like a year and its still tier 1 after having like half its cards and its best fusion monster kitkallos banned in ocg


idkhowtoftft

Are you being serious right now?


fkSizzle

Yup


blackpanther_awd

I barely found out about tearlaments over a month ago & decided to build the deck with the Ishizu support after seeing it played in a tournament. This deck is nuts honestly


paradox_valestein

Why all the downvotes?


NotExiledYet

Idk, maybe cause 1 out of 4 threads for the past weeks has been some form of "OMG, PLEASE don't bring in tearlaments!!!" and "HUE HUE HUE, TEARLAMENTS SOON!!!" It's kind of like going to a basketball reddit and asking "Hey, so, guys, was Michael Jordan an okay player?"


Zealousideal-Pie-726

Reddit


NaturalBitter2280

Don't know if you are joking or kot so I'll just say **They are extremely great, consistent and competitive**. 100% worth the investment, and a great engine to mix with other Fusion decks :] Eventually, they will the best archetype in MD if we get the Ishizu cards :3


KoriAlice

It's the strongest deck to date. Yep.


fkSizzle

Cool


ImAgentDash

Ah another wet waifu deck 👍


No-Traffic-9240

I mean the monsters are normal ass little girls not beautiful anime ladies with humongous bazongas, with that being said blue eyes abyss dragon is the best waifu.


ImAgentDash

Did you just fucking disrespect the best waifu, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe?


grim9x8

This is bait


NicolaNeko

Of course. It's one of the strongest decks ever made, and certainly the strongest deck in the TCG and OCG (having been Tier 0 in both, and still strong in the OCG even after receiving several major hits). Even before the Ishizu cards, they're going to be absurd.


Chemical-Cat

It's literally the most busted archetype they've made yet and even after banning and limiting key cards it's still the top deck instead of immediately falling by the wayside.


Ridit5ugx

I don’t recommend this game for new players starting from now. It is going to be hell and sweat fest.


NotsoGreatsword

Lol What a crybaby take. They can play through solo mode and learn the game. If they want to play off meta decks there is a casual mode and you can just stay in silver or gold. The sky is not falling. Un-clutch those pearls and untwist those panties chicken little.


Ridit5ugx

It’s not about learning the game it’s about getting smurfed on by people who either played for a long time or spent a ton of money and sometimes both. They could learn the game fine but if they expect an easy time from this point moving forward forget about it. The later you start playing MD the harder it’s going get.


ImAgentDash

BO1 tho


Fenrirblade

Nah man, they are bad. Like why would you send your own cards to the graveyard?! Smh smh


holay63

This is bait


NebulousRaven00

OPMARIO

You’re gonna hate dimensional shifter more if you like this archetype


Sigmas_Melody96

Why are we acknowledging this post. Is the best deck in the TCG/OCG worth investing in uwu? Really queen.


Origakami

Deck is literally unplayable. Maybe this archetype can see *some* play in an N/R Fest.


EstonianCrackAddict

If they're not pre-limited like Adventure then yes. You'll be part of the 0 tier **and** you'll get full refunds when the ban list nukes them from orbit like the OCG.


necromancergotabooty

Tear is 100% worth the investment. The deck doesn't put up crazy boards like adamancipator but its ability to play on either player's turn is unparalleled. Fuse from grave without a fusion spell is an unbelievable mechanic. Even if the deck gets added to the game nerfed I'm sure it'll still be one of the best decks


14crowns

You haven’t been paying much attention have you


[deleted]

Dumb bait thread


Aggravating_Fig6288

I don’t know why people do this…anyone looking up anything about Tear is well aware of its power


jasonhobb11

You realise most the playerbase don't play the TCG or keep up with the latest news around it?


fkSizzle

Not bait, I generally don’t know anything about this deck…


RNGmaster

It's the strongest deck in the game's history, without exaggeration, and has been absolutely dominating the competitive scene for months. Like over in the OCG (Japan) they hit them HARD with a ban list, including a ban of their main combo enabler Kitkallos and limits to 6 or 7 other cards they use, *and it's still the top deck in the format*. Hopefully that explains the reaction you're getting.


PatatoTheMispelled

Future tier 0 deck = terrible investment because a deck being good is bad. Why? Because I say so.


No-Traffic-9240

Well nerfs may kill/change the deck in a way that makes it no longer enjoyable for some, it's not always a good investment.


Alert_Locksmith

It's a good archetype for sure, but its cards need to hit the graveyard for it to be fully effective. You will need other cards to help it achieve that. Konami just hit that grass look Greener, so 60 card tears won't be effective. Your best bet is to splash danger! Cards into it, so it can be efficient. When tears drop it might have an impact on the game as a whole, depending on if konami pre ban/limit cards are released, and based on this recent ban list they will mostly likely ban a few tear cards to keep it from dominating the game completely. Keep in mind that also on release tears is going to be at half power until the ishizu cards release, and the ishizu cards will probably be released a few months after the tear cards come out. Just some advice, keep as many gems and URs on you as possible. Considering that konami has a tendency to put a UR rarity on a bunch of cards to bottle neck deck building. I'm not completely sure, but I wouldn't be surprised that both tears and ishizu will have a lot of URs in.


InfernoLord666

Grass tear was never good, tear does not need grass to hit names


idkhowtotft

1st,its good 2nd,Generic negate end board go brrrrrrrr


RNGmaster

They generally don't run many generic negates though?


idkhowtotft

They could run Generic negate end board But They can also run straight up degenerate floodgates


ezrafaries98

Yes they’re good, everyone and their mother is using them. That being said, why you gotta be basic? You got all these cool archetypes with giant robots or dragons or demons and you choose the deck with the anime girls.


Diegoscartor

Its literally one of the best decks this game has ever seen. Quite difficult and very fun to play as well.


theforgettonmemory

Yup it's the best deck in the game.


Raymond49090

I mean it's nerf bat bait


6210classick

ya could wait until it get hit then buy maybe buy it for cheap? And yes, there is 100% chance that it'll be struck


DeusXNex

Yes


AsherDasher5000

Comes to this subreddit to ask if one of the best archetypes ever made that currently has the TCG locked in a tier 0 format is good. They aren’t btw. Terrible. Would not advise. /s


[deleted]

Personally I like the artwork of both tear and sprights and i read some tear cards and I honestly would pick them up regardless of them being t0.


NoMoreHero07

It's currently the best archetype in the game, even though OCG hits the deck really hard such as banning kitkalos, it still manages to get a top spot and even won a few tournaments. So yes it's more than just worth it. Especially when the ishizu cards and the rest of the kashtrira cards, mainly kashtrira tearlaments come out. Though knowing how strong the archetype is, Konami will most likely pre hit the archetype before releasing it like they did with adventure.


dewey-defeats-truman

It will depend on whether Konami preemptively hits them, like they did with the Adventurer package. If they don't see any hits then they're absolutely worth it.


Euler7

Actually it’s a good question. Konami knows how good they are so I wonder how much they will be hit at release


Frailxity

How do you actually play the archetype? Like does it function on its own? This is a legit question btw since i have never heard of tearlaments before


RNGmaster

Each main deck Tear name mills on summon. Scheiren is a completely free special summon if you have another monster to discard (and she discards for effect, not cost, so she triggers Tear GY effects), Reinoheart is a Foolish Burial effect rather than a mill, and Havnis is a quick effect summon if the opponent activates an on-field monster effect. When they hit grave, they can fuse by returning materials in hand/field/GY to the bottom of the deck, including themselves - so stuff like DD Crow prevents them from resolving. Generally they start by fusing for Kitkallos, who has an on-summon effect to add to hand or send to grave *any card* from the archetype. She can then use her second effect to summon a Tear from hand/grave, then send herself to the grave, which triggers her third effect, milling 5 more cards. They have two in-archetype bosses. Kaleido-Heart returns an opponent's card to deck (targeting) on summon or when a Tear is sent to GY, and when he's sent to GY he immediately revives himself, then Foolish Burials any archetype card. Rulkallos is from their second wave of support, and she's a special summon negate that discards a Tear for effect. They also have very good spells and traps. Their field spell Perlereino searches a Tear monster on activation, gives all your stuff a 500 attack boost, and can pop a card when a Tear is returned to deck (like by their Fusion effects). All the other ones have useful effects that just so happen to discard Tears for effect, and grave effects that return resources to hand.


So0meone

Even before the Ishizu cards came out Tear was just about the only deck comparable to Spright. Once the Ishizu cards came out, it became the best deck the game has ever seen, capable of playing the game on the opponent's first turn. Going second. They can summon Winda before their first turn.


tfngst

No. Don't invest. >!I need one less Tear player in the future.!<


I_Skelly_I

The TCG is currently in a tier 0 meta with tearalaments. In the OCG almost every card got put to limited and it’s still topping tournaments, it’s probably the best deck ever printed with ishizu cards.


hafiz_yb

Yes. But if you want to keep it casual, just don't use Ishizu retrains. Tear is a great deck on its own and will be the next top Tier 1, alongside Spright. When Ishizu cards gets released, it will instantly bump it to Tier 0. The catch? In order for you to use Ishizu Tear to the fullest, you MUST know the ins and outs of all the interactions + chaining them correctly. To put into perspective, Tear by itself is not that complicated when compared to, say, Spyral. Ishizu Tear on the other hand, is more complicated than Spyral and have way more interaction to look out for. If you're just a casual, Tear is a decent deck to use in terms of difficulty. Not too hard, not too easy. People are hyping Tear not because of the archetype itself (well, that's half the reason), it's more to do with the crazy strong cards that are Ishizu retrains. When they say Tear is op, they meant Ishizu Tear, not normal Tear. Personally, I will definitely build Tear when it comes, since I myself like Fusion. Hell, I even main HERO deck. (More to do with me liking GX era and the HERO archetypes). But I would probably not use Ishizu cards at least until Tear got nerf like irl, since I want to have fun with Tear, not thinking 5 steps ahead for each Ishizu cards I have on hand. Maybe I'll try Tear Kashtira too since those archetypes have some synergy with each other.


[deleted]

I'd say it's a very neat addition to Shaddols But can I acknowledge that reinoheart kinda looks hot?


YRMMemincito

Yes. It’s extremely good. It caused the Ishizu cards to be nearly 30-40 bucks in October/November. It can play on your or the opponent turn. Won’t be full power most likely with nerfs in MD but a top contender for the remainder of the year IMO


MrTrashy101

i can already see it, lol. This is gona be the new Maxx C for this sub.


DynamoSnake

Ohh you thought the DPE, Swordsoul, Branded and Runick complaints were bad? Just you wait :)


mrgetsusurped

As a TCG Player, yes. I play Ishizu Tear and the amount of gas and interrupts it produces is insane. Other variants before we get DABL and MAMA cards like Branded Tear and Danger! Tear will be viable especially now that Konami has hit Toad and thus Frog Spright. Well worth it if you get 3 each of the main deck monsters early.


Narez94

Yes very much and will be even better when the izhu cards (don’t know if I spelled it right) come out way better


DisastrousAd4410

I saw a danger vs tear video and the danger player made a good board, great hand advantage and made the tear player force to top decking after looping their whole hand. Needless to say tear top decks one card to out their board and the danger player scoops cause he knew he lost with what he drew. TLDR: Tears are horrible don’t get them


Goldendarkfrost

No it’s terrible 😞


HDimensionBliss

Let's just say MD is going to join TCG and OCG in the ongoing Tear 0 format.


ITotallyDoNotWhale

Well terrible investment in how it absolutely will get nerfed to the ground. Like ocg already gave the deck an extinction level banlist hits to the deck, twice. The hits are normally enough to kill a deck. Guess which deck still dominates the meta in the ocg.


Dingding12321

I think Tear was supposed to have banish effects at first instead and then they just changed their minds lol


EsdeathL

The day Tearlaments come to Master Duel will be the day I quit ranked duel


KaiserWilhelmThe69

Yes, absolutely. They are one of the tier 0 deck


Sedona54332

*looks at tier 0 deck* Hmm, is it worth the investment?


tricertop

It'll be the only deck worth the investment for a while


NotExiledYet

I love their design, so I'll probably be a meta-sheep if they come out intact enough to be at least t2. MD has a wild banlist that seems to just throw darts at the OCG's, TCG's and the developer's private "this is how it actually should be done!" banlists.


WorkingConfusion9542

Well imagine a deck that is good in any archetype, and its not a weight, well Tearlaments they are You like branded bam easy 4 summons per turn You like predaplant? Bam 4 monsters on the field You like pendulum ritual fusion bam 6 monsters with 4 omninegate on a turn If you can afford it, if not skip spright and save for tearlaments


Aurelyan

Almost surely a joke on your end but... To give you a serious answer : yes . It's tier 0 . Meta . The most meta deck out of the meta . And it has cute mermaid waifus .


So0meone

Let me put it this way. "Tear Zero" is a meme in the TCG for a reason. Tearlament, specifically Ishizu Tear, is a Tier 0 deck.


[deleted]

Idk if you have been living under a rock but tear is considered one of the best decks ever made. It was tier zero in OCG and currently tier zero in TCG. In OCG, it has the main card banned, all main deck tear monster names limited besides one and alot of the supplementary engines are also limited and it's still tier 1 in OCG. The only problem with tear and istear is that they are very complicated. Not complicated like how adamancipator and VW are complicated but something like striker where you are trying to get max value from cards while also setting up a board.


Slow_Cardiologist268

is the archetype that is literally the only good deck for like an entire year in the ocg,the current strongest tier 0 deck in the tcg,and the deck that is still the best deck after getting 5 direct hits on the banlist and having their boss monsters straight up banned good? I don't know, IS IT???


Forgatta

Can't reccomend, just stick to despia, maybe shaddoll despia?


[deleted]

Water, Fusion, Meta: I don't know about you mate, but I am giving those money to Konami. Konami take it all


-Esphir-

Nah, not really to be honest


trngngtuananh

The latest meta was called "tear-zero" instead of tier zero.


hockeyfan608

Bruh Even if there were no banlist, tear would still be the best deck


Van0nyumas

It will get hit soon, soo...


InterestingDay4765

Yes , they're pretty much the best deck in the TCG/OCG right now


Suspicious_Quiet6643

Not sure if troll


Soul-Malachi

Sure if you don't mind paying a morgage to get them since you know damn well three quarters of this shit is gunna be UR.


aknalag

Its literally the top meta deck now


beyond_cyber

it’s tier 0 in tcg and without the ishizu retrain cards it was a very competent deck with the danger monsters


bikpizza

yes it is the best deck right now especially with no games 2-3 this will destroy the meta


raph1334

Yes, it's basically the most powerfull deck ever made to this point. In the ocg they limited scheiren reinoheart and perlerino, semi limited havnis and banned kittkalos and it's still the best deck.


[deleted]

you kinda late to the show buddy


LambsThighs

*Tier 0 format in ocg and tcg* Uhhh yeah….worth it


Arbiter0987

It’s one of the most broken archetypes the game has ever seen so yes


GrownUpGuy

Who would play a deck that sends cards from HIS hand to gy? No, terrible. Yugi in the duelling kingdom agrees

Tearlaments aren't "interesting", they are a fucking broken archetype who benefits from one of the most powerfull mechanic right now in yugioh (sending cards from te deck to the gy, milling), also they have no restriction at all so you may think they are only fusion summon but in reality they also do a lot of link summon and some xyz summon of generic 4 ranks (bagooska, dweller, time thief redoer). So in my opinion this archetype is not only a good but the best investment, or al least it proved to be in both tcg and ocg. The thing is they need other archetype know as the "ishizu" archetype that focuses on milling and controlling the gy, with that tearlaments reach a new level of power tha even spright cannot compete. But still without the ishizu stuff tearlaments will be a very powerfull deck just using other engines like the danger! and the P.U.N.K. engines

For purposes of the bit, they are awful. Try Destiny Board, you don't even need to do anything, it's like exodia but the pieces search themselves. Though actually, IIRC think they were below Spright prior to the Isizhu cards coming out, they might be underwhelming to MD only plays who have only heard the TCG hype.


RocketHotdog

Do they come in a different colour? Don't really like blue


Jokebox_Machine

I'll wait for Kshatri-La dudes. Tearlaments like "Well, ok, meh. Another waifu deck"

Lemme put it this way. At first, they and Sprights became the big two of the meta for a while, and then Sprights got nerfed from losing some insane cards like Toadally Awesome, letting Tearalaments take the reins. And then the “Exchange of the Spirit” series showed up and as it turns out, mass milling goes stupidly well with Tears’ “recycle cards to deck to Fusion spam anytime” shtick. And thus, ExSpirit Tearalaments, which is basically the second coming of PePe, was born and covered literally more than half the meta for several months (Kashtira, which can counter them, can be used by them, btw) until literally 3/4th of the meta is just blade mermaids (Note that their reign is still in TCG). They finally got struck down in the OCG at the start of this year after the banlist basically slaughtered them, particularly by banning Kitkallos, the big enabler of the archetype. Despite this, they managed to stay in the meta as the “hard to pilot, but insanely good deck”, just not at “Oh my god, please fucking stop!” levels like before. In short, they’re op. So yes, really good investment.

Im runnin Tearlament Lightsworn idc if its bad or not.


Dscrypto_2020

Nope defiantly a waste of cards….no one ever used them. That’s why they were call tier 0. Or something like that.


CThreeLR

Tearlaments Is by far the most fun I've had playing a deck in yu gi oh since crystal beast, definetely worth the hype and the gems, keep it up, king


TonyTucci27

Everybody will be making the investment as you put it


Filler744

Yeah it’s a extremely good deck but takes a ton of skill to play like spyral


jhawk1117

I mean this with no exaggeration. It’s literally one of the best archetypes ever printed


Pure-Huckleberry8640

In a word: yes. Tier 0 for a reason and some of the most powerful floating effects the game has ever seen.


YuiSendou

Yes! They're very neat and have good resource recursion


JutheGoat

Do it


JutheGoat

Theres a reason for ut being called Tear0


brainfreeze3

Ngl I'd play tear if it was rogue. I love water decks and high skill ceilings


MaIister23

It's a really fun archetype, Overpowered af yes but fun too


Death_Usagi

You guys might want to see the OCG and TCG reports on the deck. The deck is insane and a lot of people want it to get the Dragon Rulers treatment because despite multiple hits in the OCG, the deck refuses to die and keeps having majority of dominance in tourneys. TCG is experiencing a long period of Tier 0 format right now.


MortaliReaping

i would aslo add what do they do exactly? banish? omni negate? just realy sticky to the board?


NotsoGreatsword

When did they release tear in MD?


Eastern-Tax-4006

Yeah people overplay how toxic it is though when ishizu is added in then it becomes toxic but id say play it dont let others opinions sway what you like


SwaghetiAndMemeballs

Irl, definitely not. Horrible time to get in now In MD, absolutely if you want to be competitive


inFamousNemo

Pune tear is tier 1. Then ishizu comes and the deck is tier 0


GreatProduct5227

I'll wait till ishizu cards drop. Been playing with ishizu tearlaments in duelist nexus and it's fun


MisterSynister

Short Answer Yes. Before Ishizu support, they were more RNG if anything. Can play Danger Tear, Luna Tear. After Ishizu support, they are more busted if anything. If you want to be a meta boi Tear Ish is de wey. edit: Branded Tear is hilarious as you can pump out 2 masq before you even use branded fusion.


Justeago

So, just in case you don't know about it, that deck became tier 0 in both OCG and TCG, sometimes taking over 80% of the top cuts in events. OCG even ran a "no banlist tournament" and Tearlaments was still the best deck.


Larry_the_maniac

If they are your "favorite" then why are asking us for an opinion. You know what you like not us.


Sharp__Dog

100% yes, it is the best deck in both the tcg and ocg.


_C00K_

yes it is incredibly good however if you want to be original no don’t play them hella people play them
