Tearlaments Lost to Elemental Hero Clayman, and with MBT piloting them of all things, come on guys, we all know that not even full power Tear can stop that T H I C C boi
"Every single person has this exact experience. They bitch and moan about Ishizu-Tear over and over and over again, and then they play it and they go "How could I have been so wrong?"" Joke's on you, Joseph! I can have fun with Ishizu-Tear *AND* bitch and moan that Tear 0 is only fun if you're playing exactly the mirror with every other match-up on the side of Tear being nigh-guaranteed victories bar bricks and every other match-up on the side of the non-Tear decks being absolutely AGONIZING.
yeah I love the mirror everything else is just boring one sided wins/losses as per usual I do sincerely wish more decks were able to compete with tear consistently that weren’t just floodgate hell but alas
The tear pack in master duel is literally the most lopsided balanced thing I've ever seen in terms of pulls this is like the 5th video I've seen where the words "you got no URs in this pack" shows up
I went 90 packs deep before I got 1 Reinoheart. Luckily, I spent 0 dollars to build out a full Tear deck. But the account is new and needed staples, so that was 140 dives into the pack plus the SR > UR craft conversion.
Since a few months, it definitely feels like the 'you got no ur in 10 pulls' thing has gone up by a lot. I am almost certain Konami changed something in secret.
Jillian looking at Sadie on the Bean Bag while MBT is flabbergasted at Clayman's existence is the real life version of the two men staring out the windows a train meme.
My problem with Tear 0 isn’t that the deck is unfun, or the mirror match. It’s that if you play pretty much anything else you’re at such an extreme disadvantage that it feels like you shouldn’t even be trying it. Just today I fought a Mekk Knight player (I know not a great deck, but not the point) who Maxx C’ed me and I just played through it, leaving them with several board breakers, kaiju’s and pretty much their entire combo, yet I still had the recursive capabilities to stay in the game and beat them pretty much effortlessly on the clap back. As fun as the deck is for ME, that means that my opponent drew pretty much everything that could’ve possibly helped them and it still wasn’t enough. I don’t want to play a game where for at least 1 month there’s only 1 truly viable deck. Yes decks like Despia or Spright are ok, but how much can you really win with those against game after game against Tear? And the sad thing is that it IS a fun deck. If there were other decks which could truly be a match for it, then I would still be having fun, even if it was still the best deck. But because of how strong the deck is and how often we’re going to see it, I felt the need to build it so I don’t get slapped 9/10 games for however long it’s viable
Some decks can win at least. I got absolutely destroyed by exorsister when they maxx c me and banished my cards. I even had to use everything I had summoning all the fusions and my branded cards. I'll admit they really had the perfect hand and board to counter me, they went first, and I was using a weaker version of tear, but that deck will do well against tear and spright.
@@galaxyvulture6649 Of course other decks CAN win against Tear variants, but it’s a ludicrously uphill battle. Even with optimal circumstances like the situation you described, if the Tear player opened well enough, it doesn’t matter that much. If you want to perform at a semi-good level, at this stage of Master Duel’s format, it’s essentially Tear or nothing. MBT even mentions in the video that a lot of tools which allowed other decks to stand their ground against Tear aren’t in MD.
Tear Mirror is genuinely the most fun I've had in Master Duel. On the other hand, playing against a different deck is so awful. You either win easily or lose because of floodgates.
Honestly exactly how I feel. I never hated Tearlaments, I hated its power level. It's a skill-intensive and interactive deck, that just have too many points of interaction compared to every deck currently. So you lose if you try to face it fairly, or you run targetted hate to cheese a win
Honestly you don't need a playset of Wally, I run 2 in my pure Melffy deck, and only one copy of Staring Contest because it's searchable. I wanted to pull the pack for Melffy, to maybe get Tear as well. But I literally didn't need to, it cost me barely any mats to make. Of course, if you didn't have any Melffy cards before, then you might need to pull to get the extra deck URs, as you definitely need two of the XYZ cards each.
@@CuddleCuttlefish I mean for what it’s worth, I play Melffy Spright (bc the win rate is like, 5 times as high) and for that build you only need one of Joyous and Forest, but you do actually really need the three Wally for that deck (since it’s the best card in the archetype).
I don’t think that the deck is boring, but I don’t like it because of what it is rather than what it does. And what it is is a deck that if used well allows almost no counter play unless your opponent also plays tearlament. And I don’t mean in a “million negate” sense, I mean the deck covers all of his weakness so no matter what you do a good tearlament player will always come out of it in a good position (again, unless both players are using tear). And that’s kind of frustrating, because you either play tearlament or lose to tearlament, and one of the main things in Yugioh for me and I imagine others is the variety, so when you go in ranked and it’s either tear (and you lose because you don’t play tear) or the idiot who thought that the best way to counter tear was just to run every single floodgate with no win condition except the opponent surrendering. I’m at Least glad a lot of people are experimenting with exosisters, I have been seeing a lot of that deck in ladder as well so it’s not completely monotonous
Its hard for the mirror as well, to be honest. You punish the mill 5s but if you have shufflers in the gy you don't get punished by as much, its pretty much just sulliek and scream triggers, or them hitting their own ishizu cards to mill more or get a shuffler in rotation. If tear can get to dweller plus follow up there's very little you can do in the mirror, you have more options than other decks certainly, but it still feels pretty die roll dependent if you just see engine. The end boards are really just too diversified for its own good. Like a rukalos plus suliek and a havnis in hand is so hard for any deck to break through, and doesn't really have good cards to run into it.
@@stevenashley27 no what (I hope) M means is they're shorting the URs for this pack. Farfa + coder + mbt all had shit pulls on stream, plus the 70-30 ratio of players complaining in the comments of this video is kinda telling.
@@stevenashley27 if youre like that then i am probably a casino deity 2-3 pulls (i forgot the exact one), got all trains + infinitrack structure deck, except Number 81: Dora. Maybe...it was destiny for me
Yeah, while I do find it good that it is interactive, I just feel something off about it. You are telling me that the only way this deck is fun is in the mirror. If a deck is only fun if you play the mirror... I dunno man. Plus it also feels a bit unfair to other decks. They may not set up negates, but they sure will bounce you back.
Its not only fun in the mirror, its that you can only compete in the mirror. If another deck could stand up to tear without floodgates, that matchup would also still be fun. The problem is power level, not fun.
It is indeed boring to play, but not because of the playability, but rather the competitive aspect. It is no fun to play a game if you have all the advantage, there's no skill involved from the player. You just won because of the deck you're playing, not because of your strategy, and that's always boring. And this will happen to every deck they release that's on another league against everything else, on every game on existence. Having an unfair advantage against your opponent is by definition boring, otherwise we're not talking of a competitive person.
I agree. I have a pretty equal W/L ratio with my ss tenyi deck but the losses are fucking blowouts and if I win i just opened crazy and they bricked. I hate it
Tear/Ishizu is just an example of too many cards doing too many things from too many places at too many points. Also, seeing chain link 10 makes me question certain social constructs. Have a nice day all!!
The issue with Tear0 (or any tier 0 Format historically) is that the Deck itself might be fun to play BUT its the vast majority of the time not Fun playing any other Deck against it. Sure there are some Tier 1 Decks that have a decent chance to win against Ishizu Tears but... its still a very unfavourable uphill Battle where it 99%of the time depends on how bricked the Tears player opening hand is (as we have seen wonderfully in this Video where MBT got wrecked by Claymen :P ).
I don't dislike Tears because I understand the appeal of complex and interactive games where you can win if you play smart and even if you lose, you still feel enjoyable. That's nice. The problem is it's too powerful and it's just ONE deck that does something like this and plays over and over with a similar deck. The game just becomes a "Tearlaments simulator" over and over. I hope Konami learns from it. Also, some players only want to use Tears not for the complexity or learning experience, but simply because it's a powerful deck that plays for them and act cocky about it. However, often it's just bad palyers be carried for them.
Ishizu is more fun imo since there's much more interacting with the opponent and it's less solitaire. Although the Ishizu cards do guarantee that nothing else is playable.
@@kauanjos3199 I mean, the Ishizu’s have basically killed any Graveyard reliant deck. Which, with how the Graveyard might as well be a second hand nowadays, is a pretty significant list. Whatever they were smoking at Konami HQ when they made the Ishizu’s, I want some. Tear’s not entirely innocent - they’re still ridiculously higher powered than anything else around them - but they’re more “right place, right deck” to take advantage of the Ishizu’s being absolutely broken
i hate tear tbh, due to how oppressive it is verses any other deck, as someone who really enjoys playing janky bullshit i cannot express how frustrating it is to have the first two games after release be tear and have it just be so lopsided it's not even fun. like i just want to play my melffy deck dawg i don't need this shit. but to be fair, this was going to happen, i may not fully enjoy it but i am happy others get to experience this deck at a pretty strong level. i will be over here waiting for the enevitable kitkalos ban and more for us to start seeing deck variation again.
I agree with MBT on a lot of things, but I cannot fathom how he thinks tier zero ishizu tear is a healthy format. Watching people scoop after preforming the exact same plays game after game because they didn’t want to shell out the 150ish dollars that he spent on the free to play game. I literally do not have enough dust to build the deck, and I have lost 90% of my games against people who are playing it, so I’m just left in the dust because I don’t want to spend money on this shit.
It's the kind of format that reminds me of Dad. You are either playing Dad or losing. It's also similar how it had a rival for a bit in Glad Beasts before that was overshadowed, much like Sprights to Tear. Overall, I hate this format and will stick with my anti-Tear builds (Metaphys and exosisters).
@@IrrelevantOaf How well does your Metaphys deck do against Tear? Also, what’s your deck list? I’m playing Labrynth right now but even with a ton of floodgates it’s hard to make a consistent anti-Tear Labrynth build
Speaking of how expensive Tear is, can someone explain why CRYSTAL BEASTS have SIX UR?? One of which is a 3 of in some lists.. Crystal Beast is literally more expensive than Tear
I have this feeling that when konami make tear, in their head they think "what if we make an archetype like orcust that can play in opp's turn, but you dont need the field spell". I mean look at them, we have a normal summon that send a card from deck to gy (Reinoheart and mekkknight girsu), a big version of them that can interact with one card on the field when summoned (Kaleidoheart-Dingirsu), a counter trap that depicts someone getting a little stabby stabby in their artwork (cryme-cressendo), and a field spell that looked like a tower (babel-perlereno). I mean call me crazy but the connection is there.
I swear the match up is interesting only 25 percent of the time because they use dark law/winda/whatever war crime they can come up with on top of an abyss dweller and a Rulkallos
Millioniam eyes restrict also a thing? I didn't get to make dark law or dweller that much but when they came apon me then it is almost a win in mirror.
2:20 Konami: You wanna win, cough up more cash. We're tooootaly not making the uber powerful cards secretly harder to get. We love your mon~ Our beloved fans >:)
I got really lucky with tear pulls. Unfortunately I wasn't pulling for tear since I hate playing the deck, so I dusted it all and just crafted the verns I was missing
same with me but back then in runicks. i dismantled all the fountain cuz i got 3 of them in like 20pulls and bunch of runick's SR to craft newer weather painter cards.
Shieren is great I'm a lot of deck, the level 2 works in Spright.. They are very fun in other decks (and note they have a LEVEL TWO AQUA) but the Ishizu cards make things unbearable (I do use them in my Lightsworn though)
@@randomcatname7792 don't bring up spright the cancer in there own right. lightsworn, ogdoadic anything that likes mill the ishizu and tear work in. I had like a invoked, shaddoll, tear, witchcrafter, charmer deck which was very fun to use.
its different because it has a billion interaction lines. The deck can basically do anything at any time if you have the brain power. It still sucks to play against tho!!!
Having an answer to everything is boring. Fossil Dyna is also boring. What’s fun is when a deck has answers to most things and the opponent is trying to figure out the weak spots/choke points. It’s not fun when none of that shit matters.
Wow, I'm so glad I blew all my gems and UR dust to get Tear in MD! Now to grind to diamond. Surely it won't take long. Now to take a big sip of water while I look at the average game length of the mirror-!
I don't understand how people can enjoy playing a format where it's just a single deck. I don't care how "skill intensive the mirror is," part of playing a card game is the variety of strategies. I don't want to be forced to play either Tear or something specifically tooled to beat Tear. Also, the deck itself isn't even fun imo. Just mill, place fusion monsters on your side of the field until you have enough negates (yes this is just a build-a-billion-negate board, I don't care if they only have like one omni), set a trap, and then when they interact with your board you just shuffle your cards back to put the same monsters back out. Very fun deck
Not gonna lie, this sounds like you are playing Tear wrong if that's what you are doing. The decks interaction is extremely vast and trying to downplay it by boiling it down to billion negate board is just factually wrong, you said so yourself its 1 negate. But I do agree with the single deck problem, I love Tear its some of the most fun yugioh has ever had in the 8 years I've been playing.
I don't understand where the fun comes from when you win before your opponent made ans plays. That's less than playing against yourself. That's solitaire
The supposed fun comes from the mirror, where both players play during both turns. In other matchups, you usually just destroy people or get floodgated out of existence.
@@MasterQuestMaster Of course that could be fun, but if the only fun comes from the mirror (which you consistently get because of tier 0) then the archetype might be badly designed.
I'm sure all the people who's literal job it is to play Yugioh have no issues with an incredibly expensive deck that has incredibly long games. Not for me. You're right MBT I'll go play another game. Please inform me when this one gets banned
Yeah this set feels real bad to open. I opened up two packs and then went back to playing other games. I want to play tear in theory but not trying to whale for it.
i like how tear actually just doesn't care for maxx c. just give your opponent 2 draws make kitkalos with sulliek and then do the entire combo on the opponents turn the second they put a monster on field
Wait why do they have scream, that's a kashtira wave card. Tear here is even stronger than that 2-week window after the utrecht ycs and MAMA release where they were uncontested with ishizu and no bystials
This is just me, but I don't care how skill intensive and fun the mirror is, because after a while it WILL get old. You only have 1 interesting deck in the format and everything else is stomps or the skill intensive game that after a week of playing only mirrors, I can imagine even the most die hard fans will get tired of only mirrors. To be clear. I wish every match was skill intensive, but between a diverse meta. Not just the same deck playing against itself.
See Konami, an expert Tear pilot can lose to janky HEROs, and almost lose to Blue-Eyes, the deck is totally fine and we can be trusted without further hits on upcoming banlists
Of course that red guy can stop tearlament when he entire deck have macro cosmos like effect and ojama zone lockdown like effect. But is still long way to go for MD to get that deck. Once that red guy arrived, guarantee 100% become the most hated because it is floodgate type deck.
I mean, I don't like tear because I dismantled all but one deck, used all my gems and spent what I can afford and I'm still about 6urs off being able to play it. If conceeding on T2 counted for quests I'd not be as upset but I have to wait till I get my ass kicked to even scrape up a few gems.
I haven’t spent a dime on MD so I only have three cohesive full power decks but I’m proud to say that they are Ishizu Tear, Branded Despia, and HERO, all made just by grinding for gems
Funnily enough I had the opposite experience. I was looking forward to tear, and I do love this deck, but it is most definitely too powerful and I hope they e-ban parts of it, preferably ishizu cards and/or the traps so that the deck is still playable after the fact.
@@galaxyvulture6649 calling it now, the next banlist will be kit banned, merli & havnis banned (so they don't have to refund dust), the other 2 fusions unhit (so they don't have to refund dust), and just the SR ishizus banned (so they don't have to refund dust).
@@frig7014 i think they should just ban kelbeck and agido all together, the shufflers are fine. Agido and kelbeck is what really gives mill power to tear
MBT... A Yugituber that hates floodgates because it makes the game unplayable for him but loves Tier 0 Tearlaments/Ishizu because it makes the game unplayable for the opponent.
Same, never spent a single gem (edit: sorry, BOUGHT a single gem) and was able to make full power Swordsoul, Branded, Spright, and Tear, and that’s just the recent ones. Although Tear took everything I had, with 12k stock+gift box gems and 240 UR dust.
@@carlostaffanelly418 Usually I just play 2-3 duels to get my dailies (I try to do it everyday, but sometimes I can’t, so comes to around 5 days a week). Sometimes when I’m losing, I play 2-3 more „one more until I win“ duels. Usually comes down to around 1.5 hours max, depending on how fast the duels go. Edit: When I get a new deck completed, I tend to play it for a few hours because it’s new and exciting, and sometimes I play more when events are running (as a f2p player, you really need to get the most out of the events, but it still wasn’t more than 1 day of max 4 hours per event)
I had my doubts but you are so right Joseph, this deck is incredibly fun. Only problem is I know have to subject the poor folks of gold to Tear combos while learning the deck.
Just hoping for most of tear to be banned next mont. This deck is extremely toxic. If only the fucking Ishizu cards were banned, it could be a fair deck.
