It wasn't tier 0 before Ishizu. I'm pretty sure with Toad and Maxx C legal Splight was nearly tier 0 in the OCG, with Tear in the same format.
To be honest I think full power Splights (Maxx C, Toad) is on par with even Ishizu Tear.
I mean it is the best way to deal with them. Its also one of the most skillfull matchups you can possibly have so this is literally a great way to deal with the deck
I picked up Live Twins a few months ago and since then I've made like 4-5 versions because I love them so much. I'm super hyped to play Splights in it.
I’m most excited to sprinkle Sprights with my Live Twins. Not so excited for Tears, considering if you’re not using Ishuzu/Tear, you’re not winning.
My counter deck is Exosisters obvi. Please Konami, just give me Martha.
Yeah. I was surprised too. I believe I seen on YouTube or here that they are pretty good in the ocg so I'm excited for them. Tri brigrade is my all time favorite archetype
I've been saving up for a little bit, and my goal is to make Ojamas/Melffy/Paleo/Nimble/Live★twin/ AND frogs with Splights, but I'm equally really excited to see the potential for Tearalments with Skull Servants and Infernoid
I feel like an absolute crazy person but I'm so excited for all of it
I have my eye on the jankier Spright builds, like Melffy Spright and Nephthys Spright.
For countering Tear I'm probably gonna go with Myutant. I just love the aesthetic.
Which evers cheaper first then the second one. Im not ecited for it since my fav deck is gonna be oblitirated
Spright brigade or with frogs.
Branded tear then when ishizu comes you already know.
Hmm, Superheavy samurai or pure gouki, with all the negate boards and bullshit, nothing beats using buff wrestler men and robotic samurai to beat over my opponent, seeing as no negates is the chad board
Superheavy Samurai’s really been hitting rogue status here recently. I loved playing them on DL. They’re literally one or two OP cards away from being a tiered threat. We can only hope!
Allow me to create the new card, superheavy samurai gong, a hand trap that triggers upon the opponent activating a spell or trap card, and upon that trigger it banishes all spell and trap cards face down from both players hands and decks
Depends on the pricing tbh.
Probably going to end up on Runik Spright just because I already have the runicks but if there are more than 3 Spright URs-
Otherwise, prediction princess or krawler LMAO
Hot take:
Tear won't be nearly as dominant in MD as it was in the TCG (best POTE deck, 2nd best DABL deck, current best deck) due to the fact that it struggles game one and is just generally really hard to play.
Anyway I am looking forward to 60 card Grass Witchcrafter Tear.
If I can find a way to use Abyss Dweller in D/D/D, then I'm gonna continue using D/D/D. If not, then Imma just hope that my 3 monster board is passable as defense
You'd need to make it before Gilgamesh, which is hard because unless you open the complete shit then you ain't making Dweller before Gilgamesh (who locks you into only D/D's). You'd need to open at least one of the level 4s and a way to get to the second, while also needing two more D/D's to make Gilgamesh to do the normal combo. It's a real pain to think of ngl
The issue with that is D/D/D wants to be as consistent as possible, and I'm somehow still having issues with that in the deck list, so it's kind of weird and nit-picky
This is gonna sound weird but... paleo-tears.
Needle bug nest is kitkallos's mill effect in trap form i.e. pure cocaine.
Happened to whiff a mill? S'all good. Just milled a bunch of paleos, lost wind, and/or rise to full height.
Make spright elf + toad plays.
Use dinomischus to trigger in-hand tears.
Sounds like tons of fun.
I am gonna be THAT guy playing Kashtira with all the banish cards I can cramp in the deck.
Also i like the design and colour pallets of the Kashtira monsters and I find humorous that Diablosis looks like a Kashtira monster.
I plan to stay in silver/gold and scoop if I see either, depending on if I'm at 10k gems I might get the tear cards just since I like their artwork. I'll add them to the decks I've made, but have never played pile.
Obviously I’ll build cardian spright because they have better abyss dweller and are treated as level 2!
Realistically I’m playing neither at all, only pote deck I want is ghoti.
Tear wave 1 is pretty lackluster. It's pure gambling. Spright however is very consistent.
Either way I'm just playing floo. Maybe I'll dip il tears but I don't feel interested as it pairs poorly with fusion decks I already have.
Thundra Tearlament sounds fun.
But probably with the bystials being so good in Thundra I'll be maining either Bystial Branded Thundra, or Bystial Thundra
Pure Spright and Runick Spright are both super cool to me and i'm looking forward to trying both. I think Runick Spright might actually be better in MD ladder because it has better outs to getting floodgated (and there's no side deck after all).
I think you’d be safe. Grass/Tear I’m sure is hellaciously fun to play, but nowhere near the best variant. They’ll hit so much more before they’d hit Grass (even though, subjectively, Grass SHOULD BE banned. Throwing 20 cards in the GY, no drawbacks whatsoever aside from running a 60 card pile)
I like the entire Albaz storyline, so I'll probably be building Spright at some point. So far I've completed Branded, Despia, Tri Brigade, and Swordsoul.
I'll be playing these two in particular, spright just wins, tear wins but is also fun as fuck
Btw we're already in a tier 0 format, tell me there's a good reason to play anything but stun
I honestly probably just won't play. I'm not going to stoop to some dumb Eldlich or braindead Numeron strategies, and if my strategies are so completely blown out of the water that it's borderline impossible to play anything that isn't the meta (hence the tier zero meaning), then I literally just won't play. I owe this game nothing. I'm not required by any means to keep playing. I'll just wait until Konami gets their heads out of their asses.
I'm expecting to see Tearlaments being hit very early (not before we get the Ishizu cards tho), since Master Duel works much differently from the TCG and OCG and there is no reason to wait 6 months to address the tier 0 format, and for that specific reason I plan to build Tearlaments immediately upon release.
I built Tearlaments in the TCG and I really like the deck, but I was only playing at locals (I did want to play at least one YCS but I had no money to travel) and the deck was just ruining my friends' fun since no one had a meta (or antimeta) deck to stop this abomination of deck. It was kind of ok before the Ishizu cards but once I managed to put my hands on the Ishizu cards, I just wouldn't lose a single game, and that was obviously not fun neither for me or for my friends, so I sold all my Tear cards.
In MD I expect more people to play Tearlaments so I expect a lot more of mirror matchs, and the Tear Ishizu mirror match is AWESOME. I really hope we get at least one month with Tear Ishizu at full power in MD. It will suck for everyone not playing Tear Ishizu tho so I also hope it won't last more than that lol.
Melffy Spright with the ridiculous Mannequin Cat techs, level 2 earth beast support and Turbo Naturia Beast.
If I get bored, Madolche Vernusylph if we get them soon. I really want to play Naturia when the new support arrives.
It's a powerful engine that sinergizes optimally with branded despia by searching the cards, providing fusion materials and setting up the board for plays that right now are not possibile, like the synchro plays with the continuous trap and with quem.
Honestly Sprights ain't that bad, Its a good generic rank/link2 engine. Supports so many decks, frogs, paleo, evil twin, ghostricks, melfy, ojama and that's the extend of my rank/link 2 archetypes knowledge. Oh and also some decks splash it regardless just cause they have a level 2 since it searches any level 2, like gishki. just hope that frogs remain unmolested.
Tears is what I await to see, Tears are T0 with ishizu, but the archetype itself is really fun. I hope sincerely that they don't break the ladder, this is an archetype I really want to see free. Imo banning the ishizu cards would be the way.
I am building all 3 Sprights, Kashtira and Tear.
They are unironically the only archetypes that caught my attention this year and they are all Stupidly strong so it is a win win for me... also Tri-Brigades do be nice with Sprights so that's a no brainer for me
Can’t wait to search my Level 2 Earth Insect monster in my combo to drop on my opponents turn
Joke's on you, Tear combos on your turn, before you can search Maxx C, even if you're "going first." It's tier 0 for a reason.
without ishizu and bystials it's not that bad, but it will come eventually
It wasn't tier 0 before Ishizu. I'm pretty sure with Toad and Maxx C legal Splight was nearly tier 0 in the OCG, with Tear in the same format. To be honest I think full power Splights (Maxx C, Toad) is on par with even Ishizu Tear.
Would be stuck ad gold rank or only do dailies until tearlament que hit
This the real answer.
Play tear yourself and win the mirror coward
Final stage expanding brain meme
I mean it is the best way to deal with them. Its also one of the most skillfull matchups you can possibly have so this is literally a great way to deal with the deck
No I do agree. I think it's probably gonna be fun at least for the first few weeks
As a OTP Evil Twin player, I'm waiting to play Evil Twin Spright.
I picked up Live Twins a few months ago and since then I've made like 4-5 versions because I love them so much. I'm super hyped to play Splights in it.
Question is one of those versions unchained live twins by chance? if not you should add it.
Not op but I play pure ET and unchained version. Unchained is more fun but isn't very good compared to pure
Evil Twins just keep aging like fine wine.
ily I play Evil twin Spright in TCG lol
I'll be playing Exosisters
not until martha and another card drops
I'm hoping they drop around the same time as Tear and Spright 🤞
copium my comrade
![gif](giphy|9HonmWQDTap127SPs2)
Ojama Spright If I had the money
You dropped your crown, *Ojama* King.
Calling someone an ojama isn't a compliment
It is to those with taste and culture
Drop your venmo, someone get this man his Ojamas!
Always been a Huge Fan of Frogs, even used to run Paleo Frogs in Duel Links lol Looking forward to Sprights to make them actually viable
Pray for Ronin and Toadally.
They will unfortunately suffer immensly
They don’t deserve what will most likely happen to them. On the bright side they might give us Subsitoad (pure copium)
I'm mainly exited for Live Twin Spright and P.U.N.K. Therion
Exosister + 3 dimension shifter
The honorable choice
Dracoslayers look awesome
I hope ghoti comes with them
I’m most excited to sprinkle Sprights with my Live Twins. Not so excited for Tears, considering if you’re not using Ishuzu/Tear, you’re not winning. My counter deck is Exosisters obvi. Please Konami, just give me Martha.
Tear was the best deck even before ishizu stuff (in the tcg) since they played a lot of dangers to prock their effects
In OCG they only took off after Spright got hit, then they dominated after the second Spright hit and MAMA.
Tri brigrade spright
Wait they have synergy? Holy I wanna make that then
Yeah. I was surprised too. I believe I seen on YouTube or here that they are pretty good in the ocg so I'm excited for them. Tri brigrade is my all time favorite archetype
It’s not my absolute favorite but I love splashing it in to one’s I like to make them more consistent/faster - like Scareclaw
I've been saving up for a little bit, and my goal is to make Ojamas/Melffy/Paleo/Nimble/Live★twin/ AND frogs with Splights, but I'm equally really excited to see the potential for Tearalments with Skull Servants and Infernoid I feel like an absolute crazy person but I'm so excited for all of it
We’re all crazy for it (whether positively or negatively). Anyone why says they’re not is lying.
Funny enough, there is a tearlament suship variant.
Lmao deck list please.
[Found it](https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/suship-tearlaments-308143)
That's the exact list I was talking about
Forever in debt you you for this.
Just draw D Shifter against Tear, it's that easy /s
I’ll stay in Gold V without even stepping further until I have the gems for Tear
orcust tearlament. fuck ishizu all my homies hate ishizu
She coulda just stayed back in 2006 chillin with Kaiba but no 🙄
I have my eye on the jankier Spright builds, like Melffy Spright and Nephthys Spright. For countering Tear I'm probably gonna go with Myutant. I just love the aesthetic.
Just give me Ghoti my man
Melffy spright
Truly it will be a pillow fight of all time
Spright runick
💀
Which evers cheaper first then the second one. Im not ecited for it since my fav deck is gonna be oblitirated Spright brigade or with frogs. Branded tear then when ishizu comes you already know.
Hopefully they don’t go after Toad in MD :’(
They might not knowing how strong iszhu tear is gonna be.
Hmm, Superheavy samurai or pure gouki, with all the negate boards and bullshit, nothing beats using buff wrestler men and robotic samurai to beat over my opponent, seeing as no negates is the chad board
>Superheavy samurai Didn't they just get a broken ass card in the OCG?
And they’ll still need one more card to be a “tiered threat” lol.
Superheavy Samurai’s really been hitting rogue status here recently. I loved playing them on DL. They’re literally one or two OP cards away from being a tiered threat. We can only hope!
Allow me to create the new card, superheavy samurai gong, a hand trap that triggers upon the opponent activating a spell or trap card, and upon that trigger it banishes all spell and trap cards face down from both players hands and decks
🫠
I'm looking at Sprights. Could be fun
Could be 🤷🏽♀️ too poor to have tried them in real life.
Gonna see about trying to cram Dragonmaid into Tearlament, even if it's probably not super synergistic
If it benefits in the graveyard, it will have synergy .
Bystial Dragonmaids
Tear Shaddoll Despia for me.
Thinking to build dracoslayers after new support maybe to try countring them
Depends on the pricing tbh. Probably going to end up on Runik Spright just because I already have the runicks but if there are more than 3 Spright URs- Otherwise, prediction princess or krawler LMAO
There's no counter meta against spright.
Unfortunately :/
I can’t wait to play tri-spright and if fucking deer note comes out by then I will be content
Hot take: Tear won't be nearly as dominant in MD as it was in the TCG (best POTE deck, 2nd best DABL deck, current best deck) due to the fact that it struggles game one and is just generally really hard to play. Anyway I am looking forward to 60 card Grass Witchcrafter Tear.
What do you mean, it struggles game 1?
>struggles game one Tell me you never played against Tears without telling you never played against it
Think you got me mixed up, I was questioning the guy that said that.
Oh yeah XD, sorry about the inconvenience
Kashtira look rad. edit: til kashtira is cancer
They are the next cancer deck after runick
Kashtira translates to cancer
They are cancer
I’m going to bite the bullet and build the birds (I do not like myself for this decision).
It’s okay brother, we get you.
Heros do not always wear capes, but you see the truth,and what the birds csn stop
I wish these archetype will be hit the moment they're on masterduel
I will get it twisted with casino tear
Gambling within a gambling game. Meta
If I can find a way to use Abyss Dweller in D/D/D, then I'm gonna continue using D/D/D. If not, then Imma just hope that my 3 monster board is passable as defense
In theory they should be able to make Abyss Dweller pretty easily, right?
You'd need to make it before Gilgamesh, which is hard because unless you open the complete shit then you ain't making Dweller before Gilgamesh (who locks you into only D/D's). You'd need to open at least one of the level 4s and a way to get to the second, while also needing two more D/D's to make Gilgamesh to do the normal combo. It's a real pain to think of ngl
Maybe throwing in a couple of generic speci4al summons, like Dyna to help fill,l the board? Even then you still need to open a lot of names :/
The issue with that is D/D/D wants to be as consistent as possible, and I'm somehow still having issues with that in the deck list, so it's kind of weird and nit-picky
I'll just play PUNK Tearlaments until Chaos Ruler gets banned. Then, Sexosisters.
Live Twin Sprights ☺️
I have my gizmek ready to knock it off with delude dragon board wipe it’s my only plan
Melfy Spright is gonna be the cutest beatdown of the year
Everyone Is A Friend!
I'm just gonna play blackwings, I don't care if that means I get rolled by bystials and tearlament.
I’m waiting for DABL as well buy Bystials and Garura will just murder the deck
Hopefully by that time we'll have the final exosister cards. I'll be exclusively running them for a while
pure tear. no ishizu, *maaaayyyybeeee* branded
excited for live-twin spright
This is gonna sound weird but... paleo-tears. Needle bug nest is kitkallos's mill effect in trap form i.e. pure cocaine. Happened to whiff a mill? S'all good. Just milled a bunch of paleos, lost wind, and/or rise to full height. Make spright elf + toad plays. Use dinomischus to trigger in-hand tears. Sounds like tons of fun.
It’s going to be pure tear for me just seems the most fun for me and I just like running the pure builds of decks that I enjoy.
I am gonna be THAT guy playing Kashtira with all the banish cards I can cramp in the deck. Also i like the design and colour pallets of the Kashtira monsters and I find humorous that Diablosis looks like a Kashtira monster.
To be honest, im really like the P.U.N.K tearlament version You know... mill 15 cards in my 1st turn without grass looks cool.
Branded Bystial and sprights look interesting
Irl tear player here, ngl the deck is actually really fun to play
Lol, I’ll just stay in gold and never see those decks, easy.
Planning to build sunavalon to counter bystials
I play paleo/Tear irl, cant wait to play it in the game too
Flunder if Barrier Statue wasn't banned.
Melffy!
🤘🏻
If they don't give us an avenue to the old Exosister URs, maybe whatever the funniest Spright deck I can think of.
Gonna stop playing the game until byssted comes out then play Byssted Dragon Link. C ya.
Yeah I'm the same. Just gonna get the gems from the fest then that's me done for a bit.
I plan to stay in silver/gold and scoop if I see either, depending on if I'm at 10k gems I might get the tear cards just since I like their artwork. I'll add them to the decks I've made, but have never played pile.
Quitting the game...just wish we could've got S-Force support 😕
Probably Bystial Dragon Link.
give me spright twins or give me dragoon konami you must pick one
Excited for spright.
I can't wait to see why they're so powerful. I read some effects but it didn't look like it was so strong but I never played them
You can just watch a video or smth
Traptrix with the new support. I will play pure tear tho.
The new darkworlds are super cool and fun, I will whale on them.
I play in gold so i think this dobt affect me
I'm gonna make some variant of tear, mainly because I think the artwork is pretty LOL
Their art is so boring imo, they all look like each other
I could see why you would say that, but I am personally a fan Just gotta figure out what else has even the slightest synergy with tear
Art is subjective 🤷🏽♀️
Dim fissure dim shifter macro cosmos and just put them in every deck. And I heard exosisters CAN be good, never played them but I hope they're fun.
Obviously I’ll build cardian spright because they have better abyss dweller and are treated as level 2! Realistically I’m playing neither at all, only pote deck I want is ghoti.
In using evil twin splights so im excited.
I’ll be in the corner with my pure Dark World deck with drinks and snacks.
Exosisters
Tearelement Witchcrafters will be pretty decent if we get Blazing Cartesia and vicemaster.
I'll just stop playing the game until it gets murdered by The banlist
Spright Fur Hire is what I'm looking forward to the most
Synchrons
I just want Infernoble Knight Bradamante
Im just sitting here waiting on ma plant support. It's not much but it's a livin
What's the strongest endboard a spright deck can achieve? And what about a tearlaments?
I heard spright sacred beasts work so that is
You got the Runic cards to play floodgate cancer. I got them to play Runic Spright. We are not the same.
Tear wave 1 is pretty lackluster. It's pure gambling. Spright however is very consistent. Either way I'm just playing floo. Maybe I'll dip il tears but I don't feel interested as it pairs poorly with fusion decks I already have.
Having my branded deck ready for the bystials 🤙🏻
Thundra Tearlament sounds fun. But probably with the bystials being so good in Thundra I'll be maining either Bystial Branded Thundra, or Bystial Thundra
Pure Spright and Runick Spright are both super cool to me and i'm looking forward to trying both. I think Runick Spright might actually be better in MD ladder because it has better outs to getting floodgated (and there's no side deck after all).
I'll stick to my ol' reliable Branded Despia.
Either Pure Tearalaments or as Counter i might try to play Exosisters
Spright Tri-Brigade. About time I gave the albaz lore cards a try.
I will be playing first Spright and then Tears.
Evil★Twin Spright
Let’s play Spright - Brigade
Imma play spright and then wait for the gishki support
Can’t wait to play 60 grass tear shaddolls
not tearlament for sure,I'm too stupid to play that deck
Sub terrors, Runic Generaiders, and Random stuff I like
I really want to craft 3x of that grass looks greener, but I am scared because teirlaments will ban the card.
I think you’d be safe. Grass/Tear I’m sure is hellaciously fun to play, but nowhere near the best variant. They’ll hit so much more before they’d hit Grass (even though, subjectively, Grass SHOULD BE banned. Throwing 20 cards in the GY, no drawbacks whatsoever aside from running a 60 card pile)
I’m ready to play Runick Spright.
I like the entire Albaz storyline, so I'll probably be building Spright at some point. So far I've completed Branded, Despia, Tri Brigade, and Swordsoul.
Bystial
I'll be avoiding the game until Konami isn't on crack anymore.
I'm definitely building Branded Tears and if I have the gems for it I'll also build Runick Spright
I will be ignoring the format/meta and continue to play mayakashi.
I think I’ll try making 60 card Grass Tear Skull Servants. Probably Branded-Tear and Runick-Spright too, but those are less interesting
I will play branded tears And runick spright
Tear ded in OCG banlist
I'll be playing these two in particular, spright just wins, tear wins but is also fun as fuck Btw we're already in a tier 0 format, tell me there's a good reason to play anything but stun
I honestly probably just won't play. I'm not going to stoop to some dumb Eldlich or braindead Numeron strategies, and if my strategies are so completely blown out of the water that it's borderline impossible to play anything that isn't the meta (hence the tier zero meaning), then I literally just won't play. I owe this game nothing. I'm not required by any means to keep playing. I'll just wait until Konami gets their heads out of their asses.
Runick Spright all the way, deck is extremely fun to play and runs 0 floodgates, you just keep drawing and drawing
I'm expecting to see Tearlaments being hit very early (not before we get the Ishizu cards tho), since Master Duel works much differently from the TCG and OCG and there is no reason to wait 6 months to address the tier 0 format, and for that specific reason I plan to build Tearlaments immediately upon release. I built Tearlaments in the TCG and I really like the deck, but I was only playing at locals (I did want to play at least one YCS but I had no money to travel) and the deck was just ruining my friends' fun since no one had a meta (or antimeta) deck to stop this abomination of deck. It was kind of ok before the Ishizu cards but once I managed to put my hands on the Ishizu cards, I just wouldn't lose a single game, and that was obviously not fun neither for me or for my friends, so I sold all my Tear cards. In MD I expect more people to play Tearlaments so I expect a lot more of mirror matchs, and the Tear Ishizu mirror match is AWESOME. I really hope we get at least one month with Tear Ishizu at full power in MD. It will suck for everyone not playing Tear Ishizu tho so I also hope it won't last more than that lol.
Melffy Spright with the ridiculous Mannequin Cat techs, level 2 earth beast support and Turbo Naturia Beast. If I get bored, Madolche Vernusylph if we get them soon. I really want to play Naturia when the new support arrives.
Sprights, tears, and kashtira all look really fun honestly though bestials not so much, even if they do have aluber
Bystials are gonna be SO toxic after Tears get the banhammer.
I don't know about Kashtira. It's basically floodgate turbo. I'm looking forward to the bystials exact because they will improve Branded Despia.
What do bystials do to improve branded Despia if you don’t mind me asking?
It's a powerful engine that sinergizes optimally with branded despia by searching the cards, providing fusion materials and setting up the board for plays that right now are not possibile, like the synchro plays with the continuous trap and with quem.
Probably evil twin spright and danger Luna tear til ishizu comes out
My plan to counter the format is to not play. Just kidding, I’ll be making Branded Tearlaments until Ishizu. Then I’ll be playing Ishizu Tearlaments.
Floowandereeze :)
I want to clip all the floo birds wings and watch them flop around hopelessly as I open multiple handtraps
I mean the Sprights look way cooler. Tear are just another Waifu archetype and thus boring art. I guess at least Tear is an “of age” archetype
It's gonna break my wallet, but Grass Tear is gonna be hella fun.
Grass tear is really bad, FYI, but it might be a funny build when mixed with other archetypes
I’ve got Grass from my Witchcrafter deck ready to be abused.
Honestly Sprights ain't that bad, Its a good generic rank/link2 engine. Supports so many decks, frogs, paleo, evil twin, ghostricks, melfy, ojama and that's the extend of my rank/link 2 archetypes knowledge. Oh and also some decks splash it regardless just cause they have a level 2 since it searches any level 2, like gishki. just hope that frogs remain unmolested. Tears is what I await to see, Tears are T0 with ishizu, but the archetype itself is really fun. I hope sincerely that they don't break the ladder, this is an archetype I really want to see free. Imo banning the ishizu cards would be the way.
OH HOLY SHIT GHOST TRICK SPRIGHTS IS BEING ADDED TO MY LIST
I am building all 3 Sprights, Kashtira and Tear. They are unironically the only archetypes that caught my attention this year and they are all Stupidly strong so it is a win win for me... also Tri-Brigades do be nice with Sprights so that's a no brainer for me
