To this day Tearlament remains the ONLY deck ever to be Tier 0 in TCG, OCG and Master Duel. There is no format in Yu-Gi-Oh in which it didn't kick everyone elses teeth in.
Fun fact : In ocg there was a tournament hosted with no banlist. Guess what deck won ? It's Tearlaments ! It's so funny that even with all the crazy shit unbanned, Tear will still rise to the top as the best deck ever created lmaoo
Forgetting nekroz while getting rulers wrong by saying they got banned when the babies got banned at the time and eventually rulers got limited and later banned with the release of dark matter Edit: rulers were never tier 0 either
Tear is seen as a skillful tier 0 play, due to both players being able to play on both turns. This makes it where you actually need to know when to use effects and when not to. While other tier 0 formats just vomit out a hand that's almost impossible to play through.
@@UTgohan No, since judgements have to be set beforehand. Ishizu mills happen for both players, which means that both players get the advantage since tear activate on the effect to be sent to grave.
People need to understand how tear ishizu is bar none the best most consistent and resilient deck we ever had in the history of yugioh. Tell me other deck that can play at turn 0, have interruption in monster, trap, spell, grave and hand, make their full power board in less than 5 summon, have the ability to otk, able to interrupt and comeback even after their board get destroyed through hand trap and board breaker. No wonder the no banlist tournament from ocg have tear ishizu as number 1 deck after dragon link, spiral and zoodiac.
@@idkdontask7142 hmmm, no, i dont think zoo at full power can compete with Tear at full power, Tear at full power almost has 0 dead hand(which mostly morden YGO tier 1 or 0 decks have), it can go 1st or 2nd doesnt matter, they have at least 9 cards helps you play on your opp turn any way. 1 of the best card helps Zoo good is Norden who can summon a monster from grave, you know, that's grave, and shizu laughs at that, look like you can summon omegaLUL
@@viethoanggamer you missed the point, a 2017 zoo list isnt as strong as tear, a no banlist zoo list absolutely is. You forget how good it was. They could search out anything in their deck, ratpier is amazing, drident is amazing and broadbull is amazing. Just like Tear, Zoo almost never bricks. Also Tear loses to dimension shifter lol. Edit: Also with no banlist zoo would have Gossip shadow which they could easily make and then go into Rongo which is a victory condition on its own, alongside a drident and a broadbull and they can go into Zeus. They can also casually main deck dimension shifter. If zoo with no banlist was there then they probably wouldnt even need norden anymore
@@idkdontask7142 here's the thing, zoo and all the other T0 decks that came before tears needed a turn to setup, tear doesn't, tears is at minimum 2 tiers above the second best deck in the history of yu gi oh, also, no banlist tournaments have been done and yes tears is by far the best, yes even above FTK decks lmao.
@@Inquisite1031 I mean zoo can easily run a full bystial package/shifter. These cards haven't been out for years as u seem to imply. OCG no banlist tournaments don't really matter a lot of the time as they're literally the people who play runick stun and ignore objectively better runick variants that use runick as a combo engine.
Really nice and detailed video. It’s great how you’re able to explain so much in a short amount of time while at the same time being able to engage the viewer. Great stuff
there were those spright player’s beating the crap out of mediocre tear players in a couple tournaments, and considering how weak spright is compared to tears that does tell you how tears isn’t just an auto pilot deck. Nor does it prevent the other player from actually playing the game. It does have outs to almost everything but the deck IS as good as the one playing it.
Is defense of Ishizu Tear, they are eat least not trying to floodgate you or negate every single card you play unlike other Tier 0 stratus. And honestly, I would rather the Ishizu cards be banned than do what they did to the deck in TCG/OCG. While I only have 2k gems (took a break) I'll eventually get Tearlaments and enjoy them while they last, same with Spright considering the latest OCG banlist P.S: I played shen TELEdad was t full power, even had a friend who played it. It was a a rough match back in the day
Invasion of Chaos/Yata lock format wasnt a tier 0 format I believe, just a busted deck that saw wide play. There is specific criteria regarding representation for something being a tier 0 deck which chaos at the time doesnt meet. Also i didnt get far into the video but Dragon Ruler was also not a tier 0 format, it was a 2 deck format (arguably 3 if you count evilswarm) with Prophecy and Dragon Ruler rather than it beint one domonant deck.
After the January 2020 banlist that ended the TOSS format in the TCG and the release of Magician's Souls, SPYRAL was looking to be one of the best decks of the pre-master rule 5 format. Which is probably why they banned Master Plan as they didn't want to go through all that crap again.
Masterplan was banned as soon as MR5 dropped, which indirectly nerfed spyral a lot (because it didn't help the deck, while helping a lot of other archetypes). They banned plan because they were about to release new stupidly generic combo deck engines (namely halq, auroradon, linkross and infernoble [which can be played in spyral]). I'm a 100% sure that plan could be unbanned now (in fact the deck is worse that it has ever been these past 5 years), but it's risky since it can become good again with one single generic combo engine.
I groan every time I see magicians souls dump master plan. This was a great video, out of all the tier 0 decks, Tearlaments seems the most bearable honestly given the deck availability of their respective formats
Tear-Ishizu as skillful mirror is the best joke in YGO history. They just mill and pray for a better target in GY, or in non-mirror, they can just auto-pilot to win the game. And maybe they never play mirror with other decks too, because most control deck mirror will be pain in the head. Maybe their only mirror last time is Zoodiac where single pops to opponent normal summon is enough to stop the play, or when Spyral Format when going 2nd cards are rare so they cannot do anything after opponent full combo. . For me "skilled format" in card games is diverse format. Because it gives proof that the best player is not only mastering their own deck, but s/he knows other decks very well and uses that knowledge to beat them. While in Tier-0, most of players just master 1 deck because they will always play and face the same deck again and again. . Tier-0 is always bad for competitive or casual. But somehow TCG pro loves this format, maybe because it is "easier" to play because you don't need analyze too many decks, you have "guarantee" when picking a deck, and auto-pilot in non-mirror; really funny.
If there's one thing I noticed about people claiming that Ishizu Tear mirror being "Skillful" is that those players are the walking embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.
i've never seen a comment so wrong in my entire life lol "tear ishizu is not skillful because 1. they mill and pray for a better target" no ? wtf even is a better target ? the mirror is literally about managing resources and not firing your name and bystials like a retard "2. in non-mirror" no ? we were talking about mirror and you're already off topic less than 20 words in lmao "maybe they never play mirror with other decks" yes we do ? I've never heard anyone saying strikers or spright mirrors weren't skillful lol, and yes I would argue tear mirrors were harder than all the mirrors I've played "zoodiac where single pops to opponent normal summon is enough to stop the play" tell me you haven't played zoo format without telling me you haven't played zoo format "skilled format is a diverse format" can't really say what u're talking about here, yes triangle format (with 3 decks in tier 1 which counter each other, basically sala strikers orcust) are pretty cool to play and often enjoyable and skill rewarding, but if you're talking about format where a huge number of decks are playable (which I assume is the case since you said "diverse format"), this once again proves you don't know what you're talking about. these are the worst format to play because no matter how well you prepare you cannot have answers to everything, and playing against 9 different decks in a 12 round YCS is just awful to anyone that has a decent understanding of deckbuilding (which doesn't look like you do). "while in tier 0, blabla master 1 deck and face the same deck" yes, that is exactly why it is skilled lol. you're playing with the same deck (often the same list, as tier 0 often don't rely on deckbuilding that much), so to get an edge and keep a strong winrate on all your games, you have to be A LOT better than your opponents. that seems obvious, this is just maths, but idk "tier 0 is always bad for competitive" no. "or casual" this is not what we're talking about, but once again no. you playing charmer structure deck against strikers with 3 engage is not worse than playing against full power tear. casual players are not welcomed in competitive tournaments, tier 0 or not. that has been the case for as long as i can remember (i've been playing since late synchro-early xyz era) "maybe because it is "easier" because you don't need to analyze too many decks" no it's not, yugioh is not always about deckbuilding or preparing, it's also about technical play. while I agree that deckbuilding is a very interesting part of the game, and that it was absolutely inexistent in tear format, technical play was at it's peak, and that's what we're talking about here. if you don't like technical play-heavy formats, then yeah you can literally quit the game during tier 0 formats because you'll not like it, that doesn't mean it not interesting to play or skillful. "you have a guarantee when picking a deck" you have no guarantee at all, because if you're bad you lose "and auto-pilot in non-mirror" once again, off topic i don't even know why i spent so much time answering your comment as you're clearly a beginner with too much ego, but you should really take a step back and try to understand what you're saying instead of complaining, because you clearly don't know what you're talking about btw : i won't read your response bc i don't really care and i've nothing to learn from you, but if you think you're right we can money match in a tear mirror, $100 with middleman, bo3, bo5, bo10 or anything you want, hmu

@@TheUncleShow The deck did meet the Tier Zero requirements, as Tier Zero is defined as a deck that had 65% or higher player rate, player rate that Dragons Rulers didn't meet.
Tear mirror being skillful? Oh yes random mills and chaos going off all at once, 15 plus chains the deck was a crazy stupid, the people who said the format was skillful obviously just liked their free wins lol 😂
master duel is my first real time playing yugioh. before this, the last time i played was on the school playground.... god... thats almost 20 years ago... anyway. i heard of all these tier 0 decks before, because i still followed the anime and wanted to know how things changed, but all these super strong ''you play this or nothing'' decks made me go ''no thanks''. master duel got a lot of flag for releasing in an ''old format'', but i think this was a good way to slowly introduce new or returning players to all the summonings before the stronger versions came out. im still not looking forward to tear... but with my new experience, and all the tools we have in master duel that the tcg didn't have, im hopeful for a good format.
"you play this or nothing" has always been the case, for every game that have a competitive metagame, ever (except fighting games maybe?). that doesn't mean you won't get fun or enjoy the game. tear is a cool deck, too bad it completely denies everything else, if you play it you'll prob enjoy it, at least from a competitive standpoint
Am I crazy... Or did you completely miss Gladiator Beasts? Um... Gyzarus... Cough. Also I'm pretty sure even as powerful as Drulers were, Spellbooks could compete with them, as you said in the video. They would each be a tier 1 deck, not 0. I'm pretty sure the margin is 65% winning, which Drulers were close but didn't quite make.
It's an old Japanese policy that's thankfully dying off. Back in the 80s there was trend where Japanese (and some American) game companies wouldn't share the names of their staff in fear of talent poaching. It started dying off in the 90s but it's a mindset that sadly hasn't left. Though some Yugioh artists are getting their names out there now thankfully.
@@sugarsmile7852 Oh I ain't justifying it, I want more artists for Yugioh to be known. Cuz you do notice certain artists pop up and it'd be cool to learn names.
@@TheUncleShow Worlds format has nothing to do with OCG or TCG metagame, as the banlist is combined. And that guy was right, Dragon Rulers were one of the few "tier 0.5" format were you either played DR, Spellbook, or don't play at all.

"you play this or nothing" has always been the case, for every game that have a competitive metagame, ever (except fighting games maybe?). that doesn't mean you won't get fun or enjoy the game. tear is a cool deck, too bad it completely denies everything else, if you play it you'll prob enjoy it, at least from a competitive standpoint
Well luckily Master Duel wont release Tear at full power and pre limit the archetype. Tier 1 yes but not Tier Zero which is bad.
You left off Zoo?? And Full Power Nekroz?
Am I crazy... Or did you completely miss Gladiator Beasts? Um... Gyzarus... Cough.
Also I'm pretty sure even as powerful as Drulers were, Spellbooks could compete with them, as you said in the video. They would each be a tier 1 deck, not 0. I'm pretty sure the margin is 65% winning, which Drulers were close but didn't quite make.
Nekroz would like to speak, also if you're going to mention pepe, then mention dark matter dragon turbo
Dragon rulers over nekroz is kind of weird
You know a lot about yu-gi-oh so could you explain why Konami doesn't credit their artists for the card artwork
It's an old Japanese policy that's thankfully dying off. Back in the 80s there was trend where Japanese (and some American) game companies wouldn't share the names of their staff in fear of talent poaching. It started dying off in the 90s but it's a mindset that sadly hasn't left. Though some Yugioh artists are getting their names out there now thankfully.
@@TheUncleShow countr arguments: look at the other cards game vs yugioh
@@sugarsmile7852 Oh I ain't justifying it, I want more artists for Yugioh to be known. Cuz you do notice certain artists pop up and it'd be cool to learn names.
nice vid
I mean, u skipped over 3 tier 0 decks (Dark Armed Return, Glad Beast, Nekroz) but overall a kool video
temperaments
Ha 2024 and they have released the dragon rulers in master duel.
DAD was not tier 0
just tier 1
noice vid
Dragon Rulers weren't tier 0. Unlike Nekroz.

You sure about that?
@@TheUncleShow Hey dont use that guy as source. That dude is terrible.
@@TheUncleShow Worlds format has nothing to do with OCG or TCG metagame, as the banlist is combined. And that guy was right, Dragon Rulers were one of the few "tier 0.5" format were you either played DR, Spellbook, or don't play at all.
@@TheUncleShow Rulers were kept in check by Spellbook. Worlds is a different format altogether.
Dragon Rulers were never tier 0. They never hit the criteria.
Maxx c Is too powerful .. i mean a 500ATK monster ...
