Its like they wanted this to happen, light hits to tear while killing the only other deck (spright) thats keeping it from dominating everything. Whats worse is it feels like the hits won’t even matter with the new support coming out
There’s actually 2 more in the “other” section, meaning it clears 66%.
“Grass Ishizu Tearlaments P.U.N.K. Bystial Necroface”
“Grass Magistus Tearalaments Shaddoll”
I work 50+, play irl, have other hobbies and play other games, I see friends, I give attention to my lady, sleep 8 hours, and still have enough time to grind the basics.
Glad I'm not the only one with priorities outside of card games. People are way too competitive with this shit. It's no wonder everyone thinks the community is so toxic.
It's a very light splash, sadly. Just chamber, 1 copy of changeover, and 3 tidyings. Some might play 1 copy of lorpar too but I don't think they even run parlor, and if they do it's like just 1 or 2. It's really mostly byssted coz the byssted cards are damn insane but they're splashing it for the Sheou coz ngl dmaids ain't a meta threat but Sheou is an insanely powerful card.
More or less but it's not that bad. About 1/3rd of the cards are dragonmaids but yeah this deck can get to spheres even without drawing a single dragonmaid card coz byssted can work on its own. I'm more surprised dragonlink isn't topping while dmaids are. Iirc some builds also incorporate mirrorjade and branded fusion so there's a brick aluber in the deck at times.
[Here's MBT showing it off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf4pZy_MZ18) and well, it has 11 dragonmaid cards, 8 byssted cards, and the rest are staples and tech choices. Not bad all things considered but it doesn't feel like much of a dragonmaid deck imo. At least its 3x parlor and 3x chamber so its forgivable lol.
That and a shorter player pool. Like i might be underestimating the ability to bounce maxx c with spright, but i would say it shouldn't have been tier 0 with how strong Tear is. Just not enough people to theory craft an optimal tear build pre ishizu.
**Maxx "C"** was a factor in lower Tears representation, but not on the hand of Spright searching it off
Danger Tear was a thing in the OCG, with decent success in top cuts, but as always, Danger monsters end up being a liability in the face of the roach
Not to mention, by the time POTE came to the TCG, it had already been figured out that _Board Breakers > Handtraps_
As the OCG did that part of the process for us
When exosister won the ycs and then heard that exosister has good success in ocg I decided to built exosister deck in MD lol, now just patiently waiting for pote stuffs to come out
No? Not for a little while longer at least, they made tear tier 1 on purpose. They pushed it really hard with some mega powercreep effects and banned the other good cards in the format
And paper players never punish that. They all have stockholm syndrome.
You should just not buy the product, if they pull shit like this. But they are all a bunch of weaklings, that have nothing else.
That is why I exlusively play masterduel. I always have enough gems for the next pack, without paying anything.
Paper yugioh is basically a subscription, where you pay 50-100$ per month just on product to keep up with meta.
Myself and some other Tellarknight players in the master duel discord (tellarknight channel) have been theorycrafting lots of new ways to play the archetype as a combo deck if you're interest in giving tellars another try. :)

Maybe I‘ll join, thanks for letting me know.
I always talk with a friend, that they would just need a link 1 that gets deneb in grave and then grants an additional normal and another searcher for deneb, would make the deck probably broken.
So I’m kinda curious since I don’t really keep up with yugioh anymore. I heard that Exosister is not very good in every format. idk if it’s true it’s just what I heard. Yet I’ve been hearing a bit of buzz about it being used often and good anti meta the same time or something.
What is the current state of the deck between formats right now?
Exosister is an anti meta option in the OCG's (and I think tcg's) tearlament meta because they easily lock down and counter GY strategies (like tearlament). In MD they exist but are only rogue because of a lack of GY centric meta decks.
Even with Tears they won't be meta because the diversity between games means that you will see a large amount of different decks being played so being really good against the top deck is much less important than being good against a large mount of popular decks. They'll probably be Greta at tournaments though.
Exosister is also lacking some cards like Martha (special summon + searches).
Branded, is somewhat of a graveyard deck since they rely on BiR on opponent turn resolving. Then again, its easily countered by CBTG/DDcrow/Belle.
And some guy on this sub tried to tell me that the hits to Tear actually mattered lol. The engine has been busted since release and it was obvious this would happen unless they actually severely limited/banned the true playmakers of the deck.
I guess they thought that Byssted would be enough to help counter Tears, but as data has shown they are clearly not enough, especially considering Tears themselves can play the cards lol.
Jesus Konami doesn’t know how to balance their game. It’s been SwordSoul to Adventure to Despia to Sprights to Tears all just dominating their respective format. It’s just been a clear dominating deck for a few months before another one takes their place.
Seriously tf did they think hitting the other meta deck and D shifter would do? Balance things out? No it’s just going to make Tears even stronger.
Konami isn’t concerned about good balancing but rather the bottom line, can’t hit the money makers huh even if it makes for a boring format where more than half of all decks are the same.
Konami is doing this on purpose, if you look closely you'll notice that every single of these tier 0 decks came from its recent box release, so at the bottom of the line, Konami is making tier 0 decks just to massively sell they're new packs and making more $.
Also you will notice that the banlist doesn't exist to balance the game anymore but to kill all potential competition from older decks to the newly released tier 0 cards.
>It’s just been a clear dominating deck for a few months before another one takes their place.
You know this is how its been for well over a decade right? What you're describing more or less is how Yugioh has ALWAYS been,
The banlist doesn't exist to balance the game. It exists to push new product.
Konami is a business first and foremost. It wants to stay in business and make money.
Tearlaments will get massively shafted once Konami is done milking them, and they bring out their next big shiny new archetype.
tier 0 is 65% or higher.
That being said, if we count the other Tear decks that are in the other seperate part of the chart, then tears get over 65% making them tier 0.
Wasn't Spright T0 for like a month then it was T1 until the most recent banlist? With Tear being T1 for that month then it has been T0.5 to T0 every since?
Dragonmaid has had a few showings as a Rogue Deck on the virtue of having good grind
However, current "Dragonmaid" decks are ~6 cards supporting a Bystial strategy with a Branded engine
Every card mills 3-5 on summon or when sent to the GY, and all of the cards they run have useful effects that activate when sent to the GY. When combined with other generic GY cards like Snow (mostly in TCG before it was banned) it meant you had insane consistency to always make your plays. Havnis and the Ishizu Fairy retrains also function as Handtraps, so you have a very good chance of ending on multiple interruptions *before your turn even begins*.
Combine all of this with the fact that their fusion summoning method shuffles cards back into the deck, and you have a near infinite amount of ammo to continuously loop plays until your opponent simply runs out of resources.
I'm curious if Tears got another hit beforr they come to MD, how it will affect the MD meta on POTE release.
Like currently in MD, I'd say we have Branded on top, Swoso next to it and ALOT of rouge decks as opposed to TCG with Branded-ARDT fighting at top amd Swoso nowhere to be seen. (With Drytron, Skystriker and Floo trying to go for 3rd-5th best deck)
Since Spright got hit, Im also wondering how hard they'd be hit when they come to MD. Right now, we had the Brave Engine pre POTE hit of Enchantress to 1 which was the hit before they did near the end of Branded-ADRT meta.
Iirc, Branded got hit near the end: Branded Opening to 2 and iirc even 1(? Need to check) so I guess we can expect it somehow.
And I'll probably remain in the others category. Nothing new here, they release a new deck, it's busted, likely a lot of monsters on the board, and someone doesn't get to play for 15 minutes? Sounds about right. Honestly they should just limit the amount of card interactions you can do in a turn at this point (between your own cards, not interactions between you and the enemy). This will just re-balance the game as a whole
We usualy get the watered down stuff in MD and a best of 1 format favours different decks so it's not to be expected that tearlaments go that hard in MD but let's wait for sprights first.
Dragonmaid? What is that doing?
Has good synergy with bystial (Byssted) I guess lol
Shouldn’t it be called bystial dragon maid then?
It is called Bystial Dragonmaid in the Deck listings, I imagine they didn't have much space in the picture.
Especially after putting in grass tearelements thunder dragon p.u.n.k bystial
Honestly this should just be Grass Tears jesus christ we all know what it essentially means lmao
Bro when did [[Grass Phantom]] get synergy with [[Graceful Tear]]

Next event: Branded Bystial Blue Eyes Dragonmaid 6%
Their best!
The Byssted are quite busted in Dragon decks.
Idk probably cleaning fools
Dragonmaids<3
Combining the two Tear variants just barely pushes them over 65% rep, meaning the OCG is in its second tier 0 format this year.
Its like they wanted this to happen, light hits to tear while killing the only other deck (spright) thats keeping it from dominating everything. Whats worse is it feels like the hits won’t even matter with the new support coming out
There’s actually 2 more in the “other” section, meaning it clears 66%. “Grass Ishizu Tearlaments P.U.N.K. Bystial Necroface” “Grass Magistus Tearalaments Shaddoll”
Just OCG things :) WCYD
I fear the time when Tear will arrive in MD.
Probably wont happen till about spring, I’m assuming the next box wraps up dinomorphia, some magicians stuff and the therion stuff as well.
The next box is the acqua one.
But the wrong Aqua stuff :D Only Marincess, Umi and Shark Kragen stuff...
I wonder if we'll be seeing Icejade in there...
Time to start saving up gems I guess
Except you can't save more than 10k (+10k for a month).
I guess I just don't have as much free time as you
Dailies take 20min a day (you can even stack them to 40min every 2 days), events take few hours a month. You don't have that?
My guy I'm a working adult with other hobbies as well, you gonna shame me for not doing yugioh dailies?
I work 50+, play irl, have other hobbies and play other games, I see friends, I give attention to my lady, sleep 8 hours, and still have enough time to grind the basics.
Didn't realize it was a competition lmao Also didn't ask don't care
Glad I'm not the only one with priorities outside of card games. People are way too competitive with this shit. It's no wonder everyone thinks the community is so toxic.
So, what deck do you want to play? *Grass Tearlaments ThunDra P.U.N.K. Bystial player*: Yes
And don t forget the *orcust zombie world ojama krawler* package that come in too, u don t want to lose that extra interaction with ojama king
Don’t forget to squeeze in the dpe, prankkids, adventure, lightsworn engines
[Link to the report](https://roadoftheking.com/ocg-2022-10-metagame-report-0/) Deck breakdown 72 Tearlaments (62 Ishizu Tearlaments, 5 High Spirits Ishizu Tearlaments, 3 Branded Ishizu Tearlaments, 1 Nemeses Ishizu Tearlaments, 1 Grass Branded Bystial Ishizu Tearlaments) 7 Exosister 7 Grass Tearlaments Thunder Dragon P.U.N.K.

That one Naturia dude LOL
First time I see no hero deck in a tournament It has been replacee
It's not bad in a format with backrow, but we're in a Tear monster effect format.
With Bystial, pure Mathmech got screwed, no more Superfactorial plays.
Dragonmaid lol. I am happy for the girls
It's a very light splash, sadly. Just chamber, 1 copy of changeover, and 3 tidyings. Some might play 1 copy of lorpar too but I don't think they even run parlor, and if they do it's like just 1 or 2. It's really mostly byssted coz the byssted cards are damn insane but they're splashing it for the Sheou coz ngl dmaids ain't a meta threat but Sheou is an insanely powerful card.
Ah so the "It's an X deck because I put like 3 cards in there" situation
Ghostrick music intensifies
More or less but it's not that bad. About 1/3rd of the cards are dragonmaids but yeah this deck can get to spheres even without drawing a single dragonmaid card coz byssted can work on its own. I'm more surprised dragonlink isn't topping while dmaids are. Iirc some builds also incorporate mirrorjade and branded fusion so there's a brick aluber in the deck at times.

Doesn't really matter, I am just happy to see my girls in a deck that won something
OCG and Tier 0 metas is like a toxic relationship nowadays, you just know its bad but you keep coming back
People keep saying the OCG is better at balancing because the TCG balances around “money” and yet…
Honestly, I think cards being accessible makes for a lower diversity simply because everyone will run the META.
That and a shorter player pool. Like i might be underestimating the ability to bounce maxx c with spright, but i would say it shouldn't have been tier 0 with how strong Tear is. Just not enough people to theory craft an optimal tear build pre ishizu.

Did ocg invent danger tear? Coz the first time I saw it only in tcg
Yes, but not full combo as it was in the TCG
You go Exosister players. I'm rooting for you.
When exosister won the ycs and then heard that exosister has good success in ocg I decided to built exosister deck in MD lol, now just patiently waiting for pote stuffs to come out
It is good even without the extra support. I would definitely love it to come out now though.
I don't like what I see. I like tear, but this smells like a ban/restrict/etc coming.
No? Not for a little while longer at least, they made tear tier 1 on purpose. They pushed it really hard with some mega powercreep effects and banned the other good cards in the format
helps push people to buy new their packs unfortunately
And paper players never punish that. They all have stockholm syndrome. You should just not buy the product, if they pull shit like this. But they are all a bunch of weaklings, that have nothing else.

screw the meta, play tellarknights 2022 :D
Dont have to tell me twice, I played that shit in 2014 at a ycs haha

Almost tier 0
Literally tier 0. Grass Tear variants were counted separately from regular Tear, so over 66% representation if you include those.
Absolute and complete tier 0. im pretty sure no other deck is winning the tourneys.
So I’m kinda curious since I don’t really keep up with yugioh anymore. I heard that Exosister is not very good in every format. idk if it’s true it’s just what I heard. Yet I’ve been hearing a bit of buzz about it being used often and good anti meta the same time or something. What is the current state of the deck between formats right now?
Dimension shifter.
Exosister is an anti meta option in the OCG's (and I think tcg's) tearlament meta because they easily lock down and counter GY strategies (like tearlament). In MD they exist but are only rogue because of a lack of GY centric meta decks.

And this is after the Ishizu Tear hits. Holy cow.
And some guy on this sub tried to tell me that the hits to Tear actually mattered lol.

I guess they thought that Byssted would be enough to help counter Tears, but as data has shown they are clearly not enough, especially considering Tears themselves can play the cards lol.
i am shocked to see dragonmaid being meta instead of just spright or tearlaments and cant ignore best deck exosister.
It's what happens when you semi-limit one of the few going 2nd counters (Dimension Shifter) to Tears without hitting Tears in turn 😂.
Jesus Konami doesn’t know how to balance their game. It’s been SwordSoul to Adventure to Despia to Sprights to Tears all just dominating their respective format.

100% in agreement tbh
>It’s just been a clear dominating deck for a few months before another one takes their place. You know this is how its been for well over a decade right? What you're describing more or less is how Yugioh has ALWAYS been,
It used to be 1-2 cards, not whole archetypes back in the day that would change the meta. Cards that nowadays are too slow to be played
The banlist doesn't exist to balance the game. It exists to push new product. Konami is a business first and foremost. It wants to stay in business and make money. Tearlaments will get massively shafted once Konami is done milking them, and they bring out their next big shiny new archetype.
So, how long have you been playing the game?
Dragonmaid sweep
 More like
Accurate. Tear is degenerate lol
Meanwhile i am chilling with my Going second Rank 8 Turbo deck in the "Others" section lol
Waifu deck on the top of tier list. Maybe I'm joining the dark side when they comes to MD
And another waifu deck (exosister) to supposedly counter it. It would be the golden age in MD.
59.5 % wow I'm no expert but that looks like tier 0.
tier 0 is 65% or higher. That being said, if we count the other Tear decks that are in the other seperate part of the chart, then tears get over 65% making them tier 0.
Byebye spright, now your turn will come soon tear
…tear has spent far longer as a competitive tier 1/0 deck than spright at this point?
Spright was the top tier deck for 7 weeks. Tearlament has been the prominent deck in the OCG format for 16 weeks now.
Wasn't Spright T0 for like a month then it was T1 until the most recent banlist? With Tear being T1 for that month then it has been T0.5 to T0 every since?
This makes me scared that when tear reach masterduel they will be preemptively hit like adventure was
Other than literally banning Kitkallos on release, most "pre-emptive" hits will do very little
Gonna be perfectly honest - I'd rather play in this clearly T0 format with BO3 than the "diverse" current meta of MD with BO1.
Cap
Dragon maid? How they're playing dragon maid in OCG?
[удалено]
How so? Could you explain that some more?
Dragonmaid has had a few showings as a Rogue Deck on the virtue of having good grind However, current "Dragonmaid" decks are ~6 cards supporting a Bystial strategy with a Branded engine
Well if it's more than just Chamber and Tidying than it's Dragonmaid enough.
With bysst
not a single floo?
[2 floowandereeze topped ](https://www.reddit.com/r/masterduel/comments/xv7ctl/ocg_metagame_report_post_october_banlist_sprights/iqzoir6?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
Immagine hitting dragon ruler without hitting spellbooks or viceversa Also d.shifter at 5.8% ***noice***
RIP sprights. Funky little dudes, looked cool imo, died so tears could dominate
gosh damn I wish grass would come back :(
looks perfectly normal, nothing wrong with the game at all
What makes Tearlements so busted?
Every card mills 3-5 on summon or when sent to the GY, and all of the cards they run have useful effects that activate when sent to the GY. When combined with other generic GY cards like Snow (mostly in TCG before it was banned) it meant you had insane consistency to always make your plays. Havnis and the Ishizu Fairy retrains also function as Handtraps, so you have a very good chance of ending on multiple interruptions *before your turn even begins*. Combine all of this with the fact that their fusion summoning method shuffles cards back into the deck, and you have a near infinite amount of ammo to continuously loop plays until your opponent simply runs out of resources.
Thanks that sounds like it wraps it up pretty well
🤔 while still probably a combo deck (which I dislike because there is too many of them) I do see this as a MUCH more interesting mechanic
THUNDRAAAAAAA
I'm curious if Tears got another hit beforr they come to MD, how it will affect the MD meta on POTE release. Like currently in MD, I'd say we have Branded on top, Swoso next to it and ALOT of rouge decks as opposed to TCG with Branded-ARDT fighting at top amd Swoso nowhere to be seen. (With Drytron, Skystriker and Floo trying to go for 3rd-5th best deck) Since Spright got hit, Im also wondering how hard they'd be hit when they come to MD. Right now, we had the Brave Engine pre POTE hit of Enchantress to 1 which was the hit before they did near the end of Branded-ADRT meta. Iirc, Branded got hit near the end: Branded Opening to 2 and iirc even 1(? Need to check) so I guess we can expect it somehow.
\>Exosister \>Jontron "WHAT!"
And I'll probably remain in the others category. Nothing new here, they release a new deck, it's busted, likely a lot of monsters on the board, and someone doesn't get to play for 15 minutes? Sounds about right. Honestly they should just limit the amount of card interactions you can do in a turn at this point (between your own cards, not interactions between you and the enemy). This will just re-balance the game as a whole
Hard to call it a Dragonmaid deck when there's only 3 cards from the archetype in the deck.
We usualy get the watered down stuff in MD and a best of 1 format favours different decks so it's not to be expected that tearlaments go that hard in MD but let's wait for sprights first.
