Lightsworn Tear without Kitkallos is absolutely NOT the best way to play the deck, Runick Lightsworn or some alternative Bystial/Centurion/Synchro spam is almost certainly better
@@carlostaffanelly418 That’s because Tear is just better Lightsworn. It’s Lightsworn but you don’t brick mill the millers and brick on the cards you need to mill.
Lore-wise, the Dark World monsters, despite being wielded by a villain in GX iirc, are actually a nice bunch who simply just look terrifying. Turns out, in cards like Dark Smog into Dark World Puppetry, which look like they're corrupting Ryko, no, they're actually helping him find his way when he was lost. In doing so, Dark Worlds introduced the Lightsworns to a new alternative power, which are the Twilightsworns, a power that mixes dark and light but used for good. In Dark World Puppetry, you can see that Snoww is helping Ryko, and Ryko is wagging his tail. I guess Snoww is then recruited into the Lightsworn gang as Weiss, to indicate her affiliation to the color white.
I really thought they corrupted the Lightsworn. I thought they were so evil that in a video I made to practice editing I gave Dark World the most evil sounding song ever. All Hail Britannia from Code Geass, because nothing is more evil than the British.
The Lightsworn lore is absurd, the entire justification for their milling mechanic is that they appear somewhere, save the day, then they're gone quickly, so they mill your deck to make sure that you deck out if your game goes too long.
Weiss is an interesting situation, and is the only case in which the Master Duel Solo Modes actually helps us. Dark Smog shows Goldd running into Ryko, and Dark World Brainwashing shows Ryko being commanded by Grapha, wearing his Twilightsworn Outfit that came out in the same set. This cycle looks like it concludes with Dark World Puppetry, with Snoww sending Ryko through one of the Dark World Gates. This paints a picture of Ryko being kidnapped, reprogrammed, then sent back home. What complicates this is that, in the epilogue of the Lightsworn Solo mode, we learn that the Twilight Cloth is locked deep within the Realm of Light, used in only dire situations when they evil they face is too much to handle on their own. The picture for Twilight Cloth even has the matching outfits for each of them, including a tiny cloak and dagger made for Ryko. But why would the Dark World have the Twilight Cloth, if it's supposed to be locked away inside the Realm of Light? I think the takeaway is that the 'Treasure Chest' that's supposed to hold the Twilight Cloth instead has as portal that leads to Dark World, who are the current caretakers of the Twilight Cloth. They give the equipment to Ryko, who returns it to the rest of the Lightsworn, with Snoww coming along to watch over things and return the equipment when it's in use. The main issue with this line of reasoning is how the Dark Worlds are framed. 'Brainwashing' and 'Puppetry' imply that Ryko is being manipulated, but honestly, the Dark Worlds are ALWAYS portrayed like this in their art and names, but their flavor text puts them in a very favorable light. Zure is an honorable knight, and Renge is a beloved defender. So the overly sinister names may just be embellished ways to convey that they're training ryko on how to use the equipment and tasking him with sending him back. The alternative is that the Dark Worlds are using Ryko to infiltrate the ranks of the Dark Worlds to spread the power of evil through the Twilight Cloths, but I think the Solo Mode disproves that, since the Cloth is something the Lightsworns do have a plan to use in case things get overwhelming.
@@RanDoomPuff "Is Dark World corrupting the Light Sworn? Who is Snoww betraying!?" "Uh, no one, the Dark World has always been unexpectedly chill for a place called 'The Dark World' and everyone is, unexpectedly, just kinda pals. Dark World is like, Disgaea evil where you call good things evil, and evil things good, but everyone's honestly surprisingly nice even while loudly proclaiming how terribly kindness is."
I scrolled too far to find this and was about to say it myself. Minerva in every iteration has had an owl with her but yes I guess now she’s even more godly lol. Someone had to have fun with that naming at Konami 😂
@@nicholasfarrell5981they unfortunately localized the name to wightlord. It does have a mill effect reminiscent of LS, but it is skull servant restricted.
It always had funny synergy with the wights tho. Can't really still call those decks wightsworn any more tho. But yeah the new one just milling cards is surprisingly nice.
The reason Snoww is in the Lightsworn isn't explained yet but the previous Lore Books told how they basically gave Ryko his Twilightsworn coat so that the more "evil" dark world denizens can't control him and bringing him back to the regular world. Later version of the lightsworn lore had shown them to ahve other Twilightsworn coats so Snoww might have stayed in the Light World making them the coats
To answer you Joseph, yes, it is Dark World Snoww, after her Defeat at the hands of Minerva in a Desparate Battle as Corrupted Ryko led their Master to Grapha before her Powerful Allies backed her up, Minerva purged the Evils of Snoww's Soul, making her Repent as a Lightsworn. Snoww has found it much more....Enduring to serve the Light....or so the Story goes, you'll need to hit up GoldenNova to confirm
Snoww was never evil, in fact none of the DW monsters are. The Lightsworn vs. Dark World is simply a war between 2 different nations and that's about it.
@@xdragoonzero0 but they arent in conflict, Ryko even got lost in dark world and guided by snoww back to the realm of light, yugioh most common trope is demon arent always evil.
As an olf lightsworn head, I van't wait for these cards to hit MD so I can haunt the casual duels with it. But I feel like my girl lumina deserved a retrain along Minerva. After all, she was akway the heart of the deck
With Curious and Kitkallos somehow skirting around the banlist, this deck might end up being a lot more interesting if it hits MD without more hits. Snow is also crazy, so I'm really interested to see how the deck gets implemented.
I know MBT is playing the Tear build because he’s a fan of the deck, but the Bystial version definitely seems to be a lot better. Bystials are a strong form of interruption against some of the top decks and you have access to powerful synchros like Bystial Dis Pater and Chaos Angel. Your consistency is probably also a bit better because you’re playing less bricks.
Crimson Dragon access also exists, bit it's kind of hard to put together another Level 12 Synchro into the pool so usually you're going for a 10 or 8, Crystal Wing, Dis Pater, or Majestic Star for field nukes is fun. I also feel like showing the Melodious or Orcust variant would have been nice here.
@@toadallynoodle5414 Getting another 12 is actually very possible, although it's a long combo that has to go uninterrupted. Start with Charge of the Light Brigade(and hope you mill 1 single name that sticks in the GY), search Dragonling. Activate Dragonling to summon itself. Dragonling effect to send and revive Felis. Synch Dragonling and Felis for Minerva. Minerva CL1, Dragonling CL2: Dragonling searches Judgment Dragon, Minerva mills Weiss and a second Felis. Felis CL1, Weiss CL2 target the Felis in the GY: revive both Felis'. Synch Minerva and Felis for Centur-Ion Legatia(and draw a card off of Legatia). You now have Dragonling/Weiss/Felis/Minerva in GY: Special Summon Judgment Dragon. Synch JD and Felis for Crimson Dragon. If you weren't wrecked by handtraps by this point, you are now ready to Calamity-Lock your opponent, with 1 bonus draw and without using a Normal Summon, thanks to a 1-card combo(and a little mill RNG).
@@toadallynoodle5414 That's the thing with Lightsworn right now is that you can play like 4-5 different versions of it. Also for the getting more level 12 Synchros on broad you can throw in the Centur-Ion cards and can even Calamity lock your opponent.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Raiden is your main normal summon. With the main 12 lightsworn monsters (and 3 Charge), plus 3 raiden, 1 maiden minerva (and maybe a garoth, if you’re greedy like me), you have enough names to potentially play Solar Recharge. It’s been pretty good in my testing (at 3), but your mileage may vary. It’s definitely the kind of card you can side out reliably to swap in cards like talents and the shufflers. For the Bystial ratios I’ve found 3 Lubellion, 2-3 Saronir, 1 Magnamhut, 1 Druiswurm, 1 Baldrake to work pretty well. Beast and Regained are your 2 Lubellion targets. Both little chaos dragons are staples and I like a Levianeer as an extra target for chaos space. Punishment Dragon > Judgement Dragon (You could side JD as a searchable board breaker tho) For the extra deck you can basically play whatever you want. You can really live it up with all the rank 4s you want; rank 8s aren’t too hard to make either, even without the Horus cards. Obviously, level 8 and 10 synchros are the star of the show. I find level 12 synchros a bit too resource intensive for my liking, but feel free to try them if you are so inclined. If you play Lumina you have access to rank 3 XYZ, but that seems like a bad idea. You should have some room left over for a few generic links as well. I hope this helped. Lmk if you have any other questions
Tearlament Lightsworn is definitely fun to mill and get a huge amount of advantage, but you are still at the mercy of the mill results. The Minerva Synchro and the new main deck monsters are certainly a more updated package.
I like playing Lightsworn with the Melodious engine. Not only can it get you to an early Appo to help you insulate your later lines, but the scales let you Pendulum Summon out a ton of Lightsworn monsters that you'd otherwise brick on. I enjoy playing my builds with more names, and let me tell you, a Garroth that's allowed to stick around can get out of hand very quickly.
@@geiseric222 Youre running an expanded lightsword engine to enable synchro plays, a full tear engine to enable fusion interaction plays on the opponents turn, and a horus engine to enable level 8 xyz plays and explosive crack backs. Hence why its an engine pile.
Here's what I *hope* is the lore with Weiss: Ryko got brainwashed and was with the Dark Worlds for a while. Weiss really came to love having a pet. Brainwashing was broken and Ryko rejoined the Lightsworns. Weiss sort of just started crashing in their base, insisting on co-parenting the doggo, and everyone's just too baffled to kick out the edgy freeloader. Over time Weiss softens and even reforms for real, but from the start, she just wants more cuddles with Ryko and if that means she has to be on "good behavior," well, I guess she hold her nose and cope.
Runick Lightsworn is a really fun take on the deck as well. You're plaaying with 20 instant fusions for level 4 bodies in Geri that can pick up fountains that you mill and convert into rank 4s. the deck plays like it's 2015, but the issue with it is that the rank 4/synchro 8 pool aint what it used to be.
I know it’s already 43 cards but I think Cryme is worth running for sure in this deck, it already needs a 2nd negate, and considering the bystials being prevalent, you can salvage your cards in sticky situations
4:08 "Vice" 6:18 "Ay-Jiss" I'm convinced that Joseph is just mispronouncing names on purpose to piss off fans. There's no way such a smart, handsome man with a vast vernacular and eloquent speech could struggle so much. I love you Mr. "Stray-toes" "Eye-sold"
Less tears, and forget rulkalos and trying to sub for kit.. up the bystials in your own deck since your dragonling can be searched since it’s a dragon, add in destiny hero malicious, and play chaos angel and Beatrice. Fill in the rest but keep it simple. Break boards going second and gas thru and over their board so maybe main superpoly since you play mudragon, garura and the predaplant fusion, or you should anyways with the tears, you can shuffle back your bystials.. superpoly is a quick spell so you can set it going first too. Oh and play a gd foolish burial 😅 (Didn’t realize this list actually won 💀)
I haven't stopped playing Tearsworn since Kitkallos first blessed my screen. These new cards were made for me specifically, and I thank Konami dearly for finally listening, I will cease my five emails a day now.
Lightsworn Scareclaw(mostly visas)i think is even better. Helps you get rank 8s up easier so you can insulate from Nibiru. Can use visas amritara to grab manadium reframing before using it plus judgement dragon/astraloud for zombie vampire. Also easy to set up omega/dispater for hand loop for 2 plus negate and banish recursion
Got fooled for a moment into thinking that it was actually going to be a Lightsworn deck. Was very confused about the “bad” branding and expected to see a list similar to the WCQ tops the deck has. Then I saw the tears and everything made sense 😭😭
interesting to not run garura. also 12:42 the play was to discard reino with scheiren not beast king. reino would then revive itself by ditching merli/tearkash and you can go from there depending on what was forced from the opponent
Yo i think i have a good idea for a series. So you take 2 decks that are very diffrent, or have a diffrent playstyle and combine them into one, then test them. I have two dark world-kashtira and tenpai-meladious.
Weiss is indeed just Snoww. As for why they're with the Lightsworn? Good question. There's a couple of pieces of art showing (Twi)Lightsworn Ryko seemingly getting into trouble in the Dark World including one with Snoww, so possibly she changed sides because he was a good boy? Or maybe was actively scouted by Ryko? Or Ryko was looking for a Dark World ally and Snoww was assigned/volunteered by one of Dark World's lords? It's really not implausible Snoww is working with the Lightsworn on good terms. The Lightsworn do use dark magic if the situation calls for it (as the Twilightsworn) so they likely wouldn't be opposed to working with the Dark World on the face of it, and the Master Guide Storyline for the Dark World cards says they're actually very friendly and makes the whole of the Dark World sound remarkably ordinary, it's a place that has it's up and downs and the Dark World monsters aren't necessarily bad guys. Of course the Lightsworn lore itself adds another wrinkle, the Master Duel storyline makes it sound like the various Lightsworn monsters are actually manifestations of a power that depend on the viewer and their hopes, a "Lightsworn" seemingly could manifest as any one of them depending on who is perceiving them/summoning them for help. At the same time it sounds like there is a "real" version of all the various Lightsworn and that they all "project" themselves down into whatever place they've been called to take action in (the reason they mill you is because it takes a huge amount of magical power to manifest themselves outside the Realm of Light), so maybe Snoww is still in the Dark World and is working part time via teleconference? Stranger things have happened.
Hated Lightsworn ever since a friend of mine back in school around 2010 would always woop my ass with basically a pro list while I was scraping together Crystal Beast Synchro from my cards I bought in packs and structure decks over the years.
Built this deck up for OCG and boy it may not be the best but I love seeing my deck get dumped. There's a satisfaction in having a huge hand (aka the graveyard).
I wouldn't ever care if Lightsworn's aren't competitively viable, as long as I can do something to make it fun to play and it gets some wins when it comes to MD, I'll play it!
That's the thing about gamba decks, they CAN win against anything, but they have to draw/mill just right to do it. Great for having fun, but kinda sacky for competitive purposes, meaning these kinds of things are always either going to be inconsistent or put on the banlist as soon as they regularly get to enough to do well.
I have a lightsworn deck that has three of every single lightsworn card except for Rinyan. It's one hundred cards and it can't mill itself out because it has punishment dragon and Michael the arch lightsworn.
I find it hilarious that this is basically tearlaments on a wheelchair, it's just tear rolling the two wheels known as lightsworns and horus and getting everything anywhere
Had a funny thought, Runick Lightsworn. When you wanna turbo mill. Also had an interesting interaction with siding Goblin of Greed against a hand trap heavy player.
I actually enjoy this deck, except my locals is full of fkn bystial and sideboarding imperial iron wall is an option cause floo seasonal player exist too :( Didnt know punishment dragon was quick, i cant read rip and hardest part of the deck is space management and mill result. Deck similar except i run shark, toad, ip masq and winda variant
suggestions, remove tear cards, switch for centur-ion cards, go for a synchro build 4/8/12 build with crimson dragon, auxila, legatia, cosmic blazar and archfiend. switch lightsworn aegis for the black goat laughs

I know it’s already 43 cards but I think Cryme is worth running for sure in this deck, it already needs a 2nd negate, and considering the bystials being prevalent, you can salvage your cards in sticky situations
God I miss 2016, metalfoes/abc/paleo was the greatest format of my life
It says something if Johnny Nguyen would rather play stun than his favorite deck.
4:08 "Vice" 6:18 "Ay-Jiss" I'm convinced that Joseph is just mispronouncing names on purpose to piss off fans. There's no way such a smart, handsome man with a vast vernacular and eloquent speech could struggle so much. I love you Mr. "Stray-toes" "Eye-sold"
No, Weiss is pronounced like vice, it’s a german name.
@@strangevol5264 me saying “vice” was correcting him, not quoting him. Ich WEISS das genau.
yeah its on purpose
Less tears, and forget rulkalos and trying to sub for kit.. up the bystials in your own deck since your dragonling can be searched since it’s a dragon, add in destiny hero malicious, and play chaos angel and Beatrice. Fill in the rest but keep it simple. Break boards going second and gas thru and over their board so maybe main superpoly since you play mudragon, garura and the predaplant fusion, or you should anyways with the tears, you can shuffle back your bystials.. superpoly is a quick spell so you can set it going first too.
Oh and play a gd foolish burial 😅
(Didn’t realize this list actually won 💀)
I haven't stopped playing Tearsworn since Kitkallos first blessed my screen. These new cards were made for me specifically, and I thank Konami dearly for finally listening, I will cease my five emails a day now.
Lightsworn Scareclaw(mostly visas)i think is even better. Helps you get rank 8s up easier so you can insulate from Nibiru. Can use visas amritara to grab manadium reframing before using it plus judgement dragon/astraloud for zombie vampire. Also easy to set up omega/dispater for hand loop for 2 plus negate and banish recursion
Got fooled for a moment into thinking that it was actually going to be a Lightsworn deck. Was very confused about the “bad” branding and expected to see a list similar to the WCQ tops the deck has. Then I saw the tears and everything made sense 😭😭
Most of the best LS decks throughout its lifespan have _never_ been pure builds. LS has always served as just an engine for milling...
interesting to not run garura. also 12:42 the play was to discard reino with scheiren not beast king. reino would then revive itself by ditching merli/tearkash and you can go from there depending on what was forced from the opponent
Yo i think i have a good idea for a series. So you take 2 decks that are very diffrent, or have a diffrent playstyle and combine them into one, then test them. I have two dark world-kashtira and tenpai-meladious.
Weiss is indeed just Snoww. As for why they're with the Lightsworn? Good question. There's a couple of pieces of art showing (Twi)Lightsworn Ryko seemingly getting into trouble in the Dark World including one with Snoww, so possibly she changed sides because he was a good boy? Or maybe was actively scouted by Ryko? Or Ryko was looking for a Dark World ally and Snoww was assigned/volunteered by one of Dark World's lords? It's really not implausible Snoww is working with the Lightsworn on good terms. The Lightsworn do use dark magic if the situation calls for it (as the Twilightsworn) so they likely wouldn't be opposed to working with the Dark World on the face of it, and the Master Guide Storyline for the Dark World cards says they're actually very friendly and makes the whole of the Dark World sound remarkably ordinary, it's a place that has it's up and downs and the Dark World monsters aren't necessarily bad guys.
Of course the Lightsworn lore itself adds another wrinkle, the Master Duel storyline makes it sound like the various Lightsworn monsters are actually manifestations of a power that depend on the viewer and their hopes, a "Lightsworn" seemingly could manifest as any one of them depending on who is perceiving them/summoning them for help. At the same time it sounds like there is a "real" version of all the various Lightsworn and that they all "project" themselves down into whatever place they've been called to take action in (the reason they mill you is because it takes a huge amount of magical power to manifest themselves outside the Realm of Light), so maybe Snoww is still in the Dark World and is working part time via teleconference? Stranger things have happened.
Funniest thumbnail in a long while and the skit is top notch
The first bit about how decks are played today. NAH ALL GAS NO BREAKS
Punishment Dragon with Perlereino active is a funny interaction.
And that’s another intro skit for the Joseph & Co comedy vault
He's got Dune on his bookshelf. Nice.
Wait the new new Minerva. Is an Greek lightsworn named after the Roman counterpart of the patron Goddess of her Polis namesake... WTF
Some people have not seen lightsworn decks past 2014 and it shows
MBT this is like the 5th Tearlaments TMT. Honestly I'd be fine with one more
Hated Lightsworn ever since a friend of mine back in school around 2010 would always woop my ass with basically a pro list while I was scraping together Crystal Beast Synchro from my cards I bought in packs and structure decks over the years.
Built this deck up for OCG and boy it may not be the best but I love seeing my deck get dumped. There's a satisfaction in having a huge hand (aka the graveyard).
Minerva is the "Athenian", because in Greece she is known as Athena, whereas her name is the Roman version.
for the full experience watch in 480, 720, then 1080 for each time period in the skit
I like how mbt calls this deck bad and unplayable but it honestly performed better than most decks he hypes up on TMT.
And its a list that topped a wcq
As a Lightsworn player, I felt the cold open in my soul
Is that LETS GO GAMBLING reference?
I wouldn't ever care if Lightsworn's aren't competitively viable, as long as I can do something to make it fun to play and it gets some wins when it comes to MD, I'll play it!
My favorite Synchro American playing white sworn
why didnt you take the list from trier, it won our regional and was undefeated, without tear :)
That's the thing about gamba decks, they CAN win against anything, but they have to draw/mill just right to do it. Great for having fun, but kinda sacky for competitive purposes, meaning these kinds of things are always either going to be inconsistent or put on the banlist as soon as they regularly get to enough to do well.
Aw, was hoping for Enlightenment Dragon, but I understand.
i swear on my light if this deck comes back again...
when the light is sworn 🤣😆🤣😆🤣
still funnier than "pop the baby" ahhh memes btw
I have a lightsworn deck that has three of every single lightsworn card except for Rinyan. It's one hundred cards and it can't mill itself out because it has punishment dragon and Michael the arch lightsworn.
Ah yes, the usual "If it mils just slap Tears and Horus in it" strategy
Your squeaky doors upset my dog
How do you forget foolish burial in a LS / Tear deck? 🥴
These Intro Skits never miss xD
ayo is that josiah bancroft on the bookshelf? holy shit what a crossover
0:27 "Nah, I got shiftered in every game".
To be fair to Lightsworn, which deck doesn't struggle against Snake-Eyes that isn't Tenpai?
What are the odds we get WightSworn? :)
10:20 The Blue-Eyes Pendulum deck from novaaokami not beating the allegations
I find it hilarious that this is basically tearlaments on a wheelchair, it's just tear rolling the two wheels known as lightsworns and horus and getting everything anywhere
Simply play Visas Lightsworn Synchro. It's so dumb and fun
Have i heared a "soon", when he called out his "MBT play Madolche" at the end
If you Sincro summon minerva with feliz and dragonling how did you send a wulf with her effect
MBT: "Hapi, Hapi, Hapi!"
Me: WHY DO YOU KNOW THAT??😮
it was a meme using purrely happy with that sounds clip, was shared a lot last year
Ah, that makes more sense. Only reason I know that because I have a little girl that listened to the song when she was like 1-3
@@DrapionMaxxx Yeah its cocomelon right? one of my kids watched it too like 4-5 years ago
if you only knew how funny MBT saying "Weiss" is to me
Very very cool deck, it whoud be cool if you play this deck more times
I really want to try runick lightsworn. It looks so fun
I wonder if I can use Lightswarms with my new playmat.
Close enought. Welcome back tearlaments
I think punishment dragon is good tech. I added it to my build a few weeks ago
Shouldn’t you be on king of the swamp instead of beast king of the swamp? Or at least one of each?
Had a funny thought, Runick Lightsworn. When you wanna turbo mill. Also had an interesting interaction with siding Goblin of Greed against a hand trap heavy player.
9:06 why did I receive a LoL notification here
Did not expect the LTG callout lmfao
I actually enjoy this deck, except my locals is full of fkn bystial and sideboarding imperial iron wall is an option cause floo seasonal player exist too :(
Didnt know punishment dragon was quick, i cant read rip and hardest part of the deck is space management and mill result.
Deck similar except i run shark, toad, ip masq and winda variant
Konami PLEASE give us back curious with a lightsworn material errata PLEASE
Idk but I wanted to know where did MBT bought that shirt. It is so durable that it's not even washed up after +14 years.
Horus Lightsworn Tearlament is where I'm at right now
Would The lightsworn dragling work with blue eyes?
Schrodinger's opening hands
Minerva is the Roman name for Athena, so i'm guessing thats why she is called "Minerva, The Athenian Lightsworn"?
Take a shot whenever he says graveyard in this video, have fun ^^
20 minute 10 minute testing is crazy
suggestions, remove tear cards, switch for centur-ion cards, go for a synchro build 4/8/12 build with crimson dragon, auxila, legatia, cosmic blazar and archfiend. switch lightsworn aegis for the black goat laughs
struggle? You were beating the hell out of them LOL.
Never mind Lightsworn, where did you get the Voiceless tshirt?
The decks in 2016 were all gas? that is a true gas leak experience
Id love to play LSworn stuff but the newer support and Horus are not exactly in my price range
Dog these opening skits shouldnt be nearly as funny as i find them most of the time
