Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel: The 10 Best Cards For A Tearlaments Deck

These are the cards to you need if you're building a Tearlaments deck.

Tearlaments is one of the newest archetypes introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. These cards are equipped with powerful effects that can trigger when the cards are sent to the graveyard, making Tearlaments a strong deck to use if you enjoy mill decks.

Not only does the deck have access to cards that can speed up your milling, but it can also mill your opponent’s deck to negate them from ever accessing those cards. This archetype made a giant splash in the TCG side of Yu-Gi-Oh! so it’s no surprise that it has quickly become one of the best decks in Master Duel. Start clearing that Solo mode and saving those gems!

10. Tearlaments Havnis

Due to their powerful mill effects, many of the Tearlaments cards, including Havnis, have been restricted to two copies per deck in Master Duel, lowering the deck's consistency immensely. This doesn't mean that the deck is obsolete by any means. Tearlaments is still quite the formidable deck in the format.

Havnis is a great tool for the deck since it can be used as a pseudo hand trap by its Quick Effect or if it's milled through any of your Tearlaments’ effects, it can net you an extra Fusion Summon.

9. Tearlaments Merrli

Tearlaments Merrli is one of the best starters in the deck. This card can start your mill combos by Normal or Special Summoning it. Unlike Havnis, whose mill effect can only be activated as a hand trap, Merrli can only use its mill effect by being summoned.

Not to say that Summoning Merrli is a huge commitment since Tearlaments have plenty of cards in their arsenal that can Special Summon each other. Just be careful if your opponent plays Nibiru.

8. Tearlaments Reinoheart

Merrli is restricted to two copies so Reinoheart becomes the best starter by default if you don’t see Merrli in your opening hand. Reinoheart can dump any one of your Tearlament cards from your Deck to the Graveyard. Foolish Burial is restricted to one, so playing Reinoheart is basically playing four copies of Foolish Burial.

With every Tearlaments card having effects that activate when they are sent to the Graveyard, Reinoheart opens every line of play that the deck can offer.

7. Tearlaments Scheiren

Scheiren is the quintessential extender for the deck. After Normal Summoning either Merrli or Reinoheart, Scheiren is an easy way to combo into more Tearlaments effects. This card can be Special Summoned, then it allows you to dump another Tearlaments card from your hand and mill three cards.

By doing so, you can trigger a myriad of effects. Whether it be an effect of the card that you sent to the Graveyard or one of the lucky three that you milled, Scheiren can set up some mean boards.

6. Tearlaments Kitkallos

The TCG figured out quickly that Kitkallos is way too powerful for the format, banning it outright, but in Master Duel, you can still play with one copy of it. Tearlaments is a Fusion-based deck that does not rely on a specific fusion card like Polymerization since when most archetype Monsters are sent to the Graveyard, their secondary effect lets you Fusion Summon a Monster from your Extra Deck.

Kitkallos can easily loop this Fusion effect since its effect can make your other Tearlaments monsters float into others while triggering their effects.

5. Primeval Planet Perlereino

Every good archetype needs a great Field Spell to accompany them. Primeval Planet Perlereino is the Field Spell for Tearlaments. This card can search your deck for any Tearlaments Monster and add it to your hand.

Since the archetype’s main focus is milling and then using Fusion Summon by returning materials from the Graveyard to the bottom of the deck, Perlereino’s secondary effect of destroying a card whenever that occurs will always be active as long as your combos aren’t stopped.

4. Agido The Ancient Sentry

Although Agido is not a Tearlaments card, it may as well be. With the new wave of the Ishizu support cards, Tearlaments got a new engine to speed up the mill and counter your opponent at the same time.

Agido can become an extender in the same way that Tearlaments Havnis is. You can Special Summon Agido from your hand and give you an extra body on the board whenever your opponent sends a card from their deck to their Graveyard.

3. Kelbek The Ancient Vanguard

The Ishizu cards have similar effects to each other. Two of them activate from the hand when your opponent sends a card from their deck to their Graveyard, which is extremely common in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, while the other two return cards from the Graveyard to your deck. They all have primary effects, although some are better than others.

Kelbek The Ancient Vanguard can Summon itself through its effect while returning a Special Summoned Monster to the opponent’s hand, slowing down their combo or even killing their board.

2. Keldo The Sacred Protector

Keldo is one of the two Ishizu cards that can return cards from your Graveyard to your deck through its effect. It’s an easy way to refill your deck with some Tearlaments cards you have used up already to prepare for the end game, or it can trigger Primeval Planet Perlereino.

Unlike the other Ishizu cards, Keldo cannot be Special Summoned by your opponent’s actions, but instead, you have to discard another Earth Fairy Monster from your hand. So unless you have another Ishizu in hand, you won’t be Summoning this Sacred Protector

1. Mudora The Sword Oracle

Unlike the rest of the Ishizu cards, Mudora The Sword Oracle has one of the most lackluster effects. It can still return cards from the Graveyard to the deck, but its main effect to search for Gravekeeper’s Trap is almost useless in a Tearlaments deck.

Although Mudora’s main effect might not bring you much success, (unless you use an interesting Gravekeeper’s build) Its second effect to return cards to the deck is much needed in this beast of a deck.
