A new leak fromYu-Gi-Oh Master Duelhas revealed that a Tier 0 archetype from the physical trading card game will be making its way to the digital client soon. The online platform for Konami’s massively popular trading card game has seen plenty of powerful cards release with huge impacts on the game’s meta. The “Runick” and “Swordsoul” cards have been powerful staples ofMaster Duel’s competitive scene and therecently-introduced “Spright” cardshave dominated the game. Now, a set of cards that caused a Tier 0 meta in the TCG will be added soon.
Released alongside Spright in the physical trading card game, “Tearlaments” quickly became a dominant force in the highest tiers of competitiveYu-Gi-Oh. The cards introduce a powerful strategy revolving around Fusion Summoning, with the Main Deck Monsters Fusion Summoning when they are sent to the Graveyard. The deck saw such overwhelming success in the competitive game that Konami would release a massive banlist, limiting three of the Monsters and banning “Tearlaments Kitkallos.” Now, the dominant deck will make its way intoYu-Gi-Oh Master Duelsoon.

A new batch of leaks from prominentYu-Gi-Ohstreamer Dkayed has revealed the launch window for Tearlaments' introduction intoMaster Duel. The Tearlaments cards are expected to debut in the game’s next Selection Pack launching in early April. Dkayed reveals thatMaster Duel’s newest packis expected to include both the cards from the archetype’s launch and post-release support like “Tearlaments Rulkallos” and “Tearlaments Kashtira.” The pack will also feature new support for archetypes like “Amazoness” and “Melffy” among others.
While Dkayed was not able to reveal the rarities of the upcoming Tearlaments cards, the new archetype will feature synergy with several strategies already in the game. The addition of the new Ishizu cards in March’s Selection Pack will allow players to use the same Tier 0 strategy that dominated the TCG. Tearlaments has also seen play in the physical card game alongsidearchetypes like Brandedand P.U.N.K. among others.Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel’s newest Selection Pack will likely coincide with the sunsetting of the “Sprites of Miracle” pack on April 9.
The introduction of Tearlaments will look to majorly impact the meta forYu-Gi-Oh Master Duelfollowing the archetype’s release. Tearlaments has made a strong showing in both Japan’s “OCG” format and the global format played throughout other regions, sitting as a Tier 0 deck for an extended period in both. The deck will also look to benefit from several cards not currently legal in the TCG, includingpowerful Spell cardslike “That Grass Looks Greener.“Master Duel’s meta will likely see a major shake-up when the Tearlaments cards launch next month.
Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duelis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
