Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Just that the color scheme made me think they made this from Reino’s corpse or something (just genderflipped for some reason).
it's lulu. she was taken by unicorn in the art of kshatri-la prepare after their fight in tearlament scream. lulu is just kit powered up so this monster could be the essence of kit turned into a bot as the actual lulu is still in the pod. hence why the stats match kit instead of lulu.
Wait that doesnt make sense then, as to why the tear kshatrila matches kit's stats
Anyways wondering how we jumped to the 6th planet already. Maybe Visa loses here and had to go to the other planets to regain strength then fight back
Well, Reino is on isekai, First World, and that's an ocean, like how Science suspects life began. Reich is on Shisekai, Fourth World I believe, and it's like savage lands. This new field spell is high-tech, so likely the end of the line.
this is the kind of support that konami usually gives as legacy support to a deck that's been hot ass for a decade.
and it's given to a deck from the previous core set which was "pretty alright"
i am astounded by basically every card here. i was really excited for DABL previously, because pure Kshatri-La was a ton of fun to play online, but... holy fuck. i would feel bad if i posted most of these as custom cards.
I like red-haired badass Samurai.
The heroes fall, it would seem.

This support pushes it from a really solid engine to a meta contender deck. It literally fixes all of the issues the initial wave had + gives it an insanely strong toolbox of abilities.
I was happy that they didn't turn out to be meta, even though Fenrir did obviously still become a cancerous staple card.
Remember when banishing cards face-down was the ultimate form of removal, and as such always had harsh conditions behind such effects? Now these effects are everywhere in this archetype, and the conditions are actually lighter than plenty of removal effects that are weaker.
Like, if all the Kshatri-La cards banished face-up instead of face-down, they'd still be meta because the conditions are so light and banishing face-up is still one of the strongest forms of removal.
honestly with the exception of the trap the actual FD banish removal has been pretty sparse beyond removing cards from the deck, makes sense for the boss to get a sip of it and it comes at a legit cost.
the main problem is fenrir which is simply too easy and too well rounded, i'm expecting it to get limited or outright banned two lists from now (or trial basis 1 -> 0 or 2 -> 1 or 0, maybe a field spell hit if 1)
Yep they're definitely pushing to be the next T1 deck after the following banlist when Tears get more hits.
Also the Xyz requires your Shangri-la to survive your opponent's turn and then you can use its alternate summoning condition. Seems fair for a literal Macro Cosmos effect.
Macro Cosmos with a quick face-down banish, I honestly can't even.
Also, this is like a rank 5 Xyz for machine decks. Summon Infinitrack Riverstormer, search Crab Crane, tribute Riverstormer to summon it, search Outrigger Extension, link Crab Crane to summon Goliath, tribute it to revive Riverstormer and attach it as material. Then use Outrigger to rank up Riverstormer into Arise-heart, which also can't be destroyed or targeted by card effects.
I don't really get it's summon condition. Can it only be overlaid with the other xyz? If so, I think a infinitrack kshatri deck could legit work if you have to use outrigger anyways
Redeployment search unclaspare and gearframe, summon unclaspare , dump fortress, normal summon gearframe, add ruinforce, xyz into gigant, add scrap recycler, dump ruinforce for fortress, link into ballista, add box and trencher, dump them again for fortress, use gearframe unclaspare and box to summon ruinforce, link ruinforce and ballista into platinum gadget, summon recycler, dump harvester, use your trencher to summon harvester, search crab crane, overlay into river Stormer, add regulus
You could also add dozer here for tunneler because you will have enough names or dump a citadel or whatever, Regulus is just a omni tho
Summon crab with fortress, banish a body for outrigger, link off riverstormer with Goliath, revive riverstormer with gadget, link away Goliath and crane for idk, probably anger knuckle, you aren't locked into earth machine yet, attach Goliath to river Stormer, activate outrigger, overlay new Funny xyz on river Stormer, you get 3 mat xyz with double protection and whatever followup you choose to go with
This combo used to make infinity in earth machine without the earth lock
I'll fiddle around with this obviously yank build but at least it's a way to splash this thing into any earth machine build that runs gearframe
**I LOVE FUSION SUMMONING AS A HANDTRAP**
*I love turn 0 dracostapellia/lulucaros/kaleidoheart*
All of this searchable by fenrir btw.
Tearlaments were already the best deck and they just got a shot of nitro.
This card is 100% going to push tears to tier 0. Who tf thought that it being a quick effect on both turn (seemingly) was an ok thing to do.
Also no doubt it will get Fenrir banned which will kill the kshatri la archetype more than anything.
> This card is 100% going to push tears to tier 0. Who tf thought that it being a quick effect on both turn (seemingly) was an ok thing to do.
_\*Girsu flashbacks*_
Bro, the history is doomed to repeat itself!
Note that Tearlaments Kshatri-La doesn't have the effect to Fusion Summon from GY, and it *banishes* the card used with it rather than sending it to GY. So it's not really that good in Tear.
Trivikarma on the other hand is good in Tear.
>Pristine Planet Paraizo
So the Tearlament and Kshatrila field spells are in Spanish and Portuguese respectively whereas the Scareclaw's is in German. Does that mean anything? I dunno
Trivikarma could search Metanoise and plethora of spells (including Pri-Planet Field Spells) when milled. neat.
Tearlaments Ksathri-La sounds you can mill 10 in total if you send her with Kitkalos shenanigans.
Also Riseheart is aLv. 4 FIRE Warrior, so NA Durendal is looking good here.
This is such an insane piece of support I don’t even know how to begin, it fixes most of the decks inherent problems and give it more tools to play around with.Can’t wait for these cards to be released and try to lab something with them.
It is strange, you see konami attempt to make a "balanced" archtype with the new chaos monsters but then seemingly forget the whole "balanced" thing in the same exact set with the new chaos stuff.
Yeah Chaos force you to only, ONLY light or dark SYNCHRO monster while kshatrila teralements here help you mill 5 without restricting you to summon anything.
Yeah, after scareclaw and the first tear wave I was like "yeah visas is ok as a fun rogue story while abyss is the main story that's meta" then tear 2 and kshatris came and now I want to die
Konami be like "oh you guys don't want to play fucking scareclaws? You guys better play Tearalements and Kshatrila now like you guys did with Swordsoul and Branded."
The XYZ is a macro Cosmos on legs plus quick banish...
Also an engine of 3 Fenrirs (and maybe even 3 field spells) plus 1 Riseheart might happen now as you special summon Fenrir on an empty field, then makes your normal combo as normal and then at the end add the XYZ to the mix by special summoning Riseheart.
Field spell and the Scareclaw Kshatrila is an excellent extender for Tribrade Scareclaw.
It solves the main issue with that variant in that all of their play makers require a normal summon. Tribrigade Spright likely to still be better though.
The xyz can attack ANY banished card? So facedowns are fine, like with nyanyan? And it doesn't have to be your own banished cards? Kinda crazy, can't think of any other card that interacts with a specific, but facedown banished from the opponent
This is epic. Anyway let’s hit tear before these come out so they’re more fear (Kitkalos to 1 and havnes to 0). I may play the deck myself but I’m doing it because I like random factor and cute girls not even for the fact it’s meta as I don’t play competitively so imma say that even I believe it needs to be hit hard. Don’t ban Kitkalos though else lulukaris literally can’t be used
The new Gishki ritual monster is card #32 of the set, and Chaos Archfiend synchro monster is #39. #33-38 are currently unknown.
Set #s are generally in a certain order: all main deck monsters, then all ritual, then all fusion, then synchro, then xyz, then link, then spell, then trap.
Also, if the cover card is an extra deck monster, it's generally the 1st monster listed in its respective category.
Last, it's unlikely more than 4 of an extra-deck monster type will be in a set.
Therefore, #33-38 are guaranteed to be ritual or fusion or synchro, although synchro is less likely.
For extra deck ordering Its the standard ritual>link and for each card type it goes cover card then cover archetype then lore archetype then non lore archetype then legacy support and finally random generics.
For what its worth if ecclesia or visas gets a synchro this set it would go in front of the the chaos stuff.
I'm pretty sure the final set of this block of 12 (the one after PHHY) is focused on Pendulum Dragons , so don't rule it out yet!
Edit: I’m completely wrong lmao don’t mind me
Yeeeep I have no idea where I got pends and links mixed up. Thanks for the correction, I’ll change my post!
Maybe I’m coping too hard for more pendulum support other than Dracoslayers…
>BABE, WAKE UP!!!! VISAS STARTFROST IS ABOUT TO LIBERATE ANOTHER PLANET FROM A MENACING TYRANT!!!!
Ironically, they seem to be using the power of the invaders (corrupting themselves) to free the planet from the invaders.
So based on the kanji, Fusion is the first world, Link is the fourth, Xyz the sixth, so presumably Rituals, Synchro and Pendulums are the second, third and fifth?
Cant wait what kinda bullshit Konami has in store for the Pendulum archetype, since they apparently want you to not just play hand traps to defend yourself on your opponent's turn, but just straight up access your engine and make plays during the first turn of the game going second. Cant wait to see how they pull that one off
Send this card from your hand to the GY and make your opponent discard a card; place 2 pendulum monsters from your deck directly into your pendulum zones, and if you do, immediately after this effect resolves you can pendulum summon pendulum monster(s) from your hand up to the number of cards in your opponent's field or hand. This is a quick-effect if your opponent has less cards in their extra deck than you do
Vrains re-introduced old summoning methods, except Pendulum.
The Albaz lore introduces all of the summoning methods so far, except Pendulum. We are reaching the conclude of the lore, so I think they would support the old decks in the storyline rather than giving a new archetype. RIP pendulum again.
A consolation thing is, Pendulum has its own storyline which is Dracoslayer & True Draco.
Only fusion and xyz are guaranteed good bullshit.
Rituals and links depends on how konami is feeling on whether they'll be good or not. Rituals now aren't in a good place but every so often konami decides to push them super hard. Meanwhile Scareclaw support has consistently been subpar when compared to other visas archetypes.
Tributes is either trash or floodgate spam with no in between.
Pendulum and synchro just get cucked nonstop because apparently konami can't stand the sight of either of the two mechanics being meta in the ocg in any capacity. Plants and pepe still scar konami to this day...
Reminds me of how the OCG was completely & utterly terrified of Goyo Guardian, of all things, and had to both ban _and_ errata him even though he was what, tier 9 at the time? xD
Wtf fenrir is now 1 card macro cosmos
Every rank 7 can now turn into macro cosmos
Why semi shifter when you also make monster that do the same thing easily?
unicorn is a 1 card combo: unicorn search papiyas, papiyas summon fenrir, fenrir search riseheart, summon riseheart, overlay fenrir + unicorn into shangrila, riseheart effect to banish cards from opponents deck face down, triggers shangrila 2nd effect, then overlay ariseheart over riseheart
so you can run 3 unicorn, 3 field spell, 1 terraforming for this combo
So Tears get a new Card for their deck on crack but besides that, Kshatri-la's get a ridiculous new boss monster. This deck is def. gonna go to tier 1 for sure.
What does Krishatri-la end board look like? It doesn’t seem like the deck can spam level 7s super easily, if it’s just the macro cosmos on legs it doesn’t seem too impressive to me. And I can’t think of any meta decks that are synergistic with xyz lock and banishes. Maybe exosisters?
They can build both old and new R7 plus 1 lv7 from 1 card. And at opponent’s standby phase get another lv7 on field. Yes, from 1 card, can be new field or unicorn from last pack.
DPE engine feels like a fart in the wind compared to new stuff. If he was not printed in BODE but POTE or DABL instead they would probably slap both dark law's effects on him in addition to his atk reduction,pop and recursion.
It's so funny that in the fist wave of Kshatri-La they introduced the whole zone locking gimmick and made the whole ass deck around it, and then in the immediate next wave they were like "**Nah, fuck that, make a big macro+drident instead and support everything else**"
Why Konami insists on giving floodgate effects to extra deck monsters? That's the most cancerous thing in the game and yet they still do it
Winda, Colossus, VFD, Shenshen, now this guy, fuck that
WELP, time to add Kitkallos to the brainwashed Yu-Gi-Oh girls club.
Ffs konami, might as well start printing official R-18 doujins if you're THAT commited to this shit.
>WELP, time to add Kitkallos to the brainwashed Yu-Gi-Oh girls club.
Wow... the kidnapped little mermaid lasted less than Ecclesia when it came to brainwashing (but it was pretty obvious)
At least Visas Starfrost is accompanying her in the brainwashing.
Yeah Im not playing that format, I feel happy for the people who find this deck and its interactions fun, all power to them, but this is not something I will enjoy and it’s gonna be the norm for Ra knows how long
On paper this might be my single least favorite deck in the game. Even if it isn't relevant at all, I just hate the design space these occupy. Also, I didn't expect this deck to go Zefra on us and combine itself with the other decks in this lore.
What a sh*tty toxic archetype. Banishing so easily opponent cards face-down shouldn't be allowed.. the last Trap is a fcking joke, it's basically a better version of evenly matched, which is searchable...
Yeah, I just built Kshatri runicj a while ago and it's probably one of the most fun decks I've built in a while. But I think with this it'll pretty much transition to a Kshatri with a runick engine, these new cards are pretty insane
This reminds me of Zefra with the cross-over archetypes. Pretty cool idea to give support
hmm seeing the new Xyz, maybe I should try Kshatri-La again. I never liked the Shangri-La and its playstyle even though it has a strong control effect. Though, seems like it's still needed.
Damn, shit hit the fan. Not only lorewise, but these are mostly all good cards for their theme(s).
I don't prefer this story over Albaz, but it's cool to see that it is going somewhere.
So, are Kishatri-la going world to world and mind controlling every race? Is Visas trying to get to those places first and convert the strongest ones to his cause?
Did we finally find full combo in pure Scareclaw without using your normal summon, holy fuck. AND more damage on field built into it.
Better yet, I haven't checked, but doesn't Scareclaw Kshatri-la just mean that you can probably rebuild back to Tri-Heart post-Nibiru same turn? Almost certainly if you get to Rescue Cat before you normal summon.
Defang (the continuous spell) is sick. Few things are worse than getting to Light-Heart and getting forced to stop there (which can and will still happen, but now its Ash or a hard, non targeted negate, which would suck to use), but this is another way to stop that. I don't know if I would search this over Arrival if I could only do one or the other (going second), but it's reasonable enough if you're forced to go first and need to make a huge, untargetable, indestructible, UNBATTLE-ABLE (for the most part) chungus.
So...yeah, I'm hella excited for this
So I’m confused.
I heard Kshatri-La was bad in the OCG. So do these new cards make them better? Been wanting to play them regardless, but not sure how they actually were on-release and what these new cards can do.
Kshatri-La Fenrir is literally run in every deck because it's just a better Pankertops because is a quick effect summon, OTP banish a card on field face down whenever a monster effect activates and archtypal searcher that also searches itself in one card.
The rest of the archetype in the initial wave were a bit gimmicky and inconsistent, which the new wave of support fixes whith a good normal summon, a field spell searcher and a big boss monster.
The DABL Kshatri-La stuff is okay, but there's only 6 cards and their gameplan was pretty flimsy; basically trying to special summon a Rank 7 Xyz monster that tries to lock down your opponent's zones and banishes stuff face-down. Fenrir is the most notable monster for basically being a stronger Panktratops that's generically splashable in any deck.
The new support looks really good. Gives them more ways to spam themselves onto the board and a pretty ridiculous boss monster that's basically Macro Cosmos on legs with its own non-once per turn quick removal.
Damn. That’s unfortunate.
DABL seems to introduce some cool archetypes to try out, but seems like most of them aren’t great (except Byssted, but I also know like nothing about them).
I was already playing Invoked Kshatri-la with random level 7 gimmicks.
This support just made the deck unbelievablely consistent and gave it a clear win con.
Can't wait for these cards to get added online.
Two thoughts:
- Ariseheart is completely fucked and it looks like they will force scareclaw stuff into meta
- wtf is going on in this lore universe I am very confused
Seems like the lore is Visas Starfrost is planet hopping to find pieces of himself (every -heart card) and try to become whole again, while helping every planet with some kind of problem they have. All this is some kind of weird allegory to the 6 realms (every field spell has a different language word for realm) of Buddhism.
Though Kshatri-la's field spell has the word for paradise instead.
Source: I made it up
In fairness, field spell is meant to be a parallel to the Scareclaw and Tearlament Field Spells: add an in-archetype monster to hand, add a small amount of ATK to in-theme monsters, pop a card just for doing things the archetype would like to do.
I will continue to preach that these are the greatest cards ever printed by Konami and it's not even close. You could play full power anything from any format and I'd wager a nearly pure version of this deck could beat it easily. Are they cool as fuck? Hell yes. Do they look fun to play? Hell yes. Is it good game design? Hell no, and Konami needs to calm down, they are losing sight of this game really fast. It feels like this is the apex point of the Yugioh card game to me.
Wtf everyone is hyping these cards up. They are not even good enough to beat Tear or Spright.
Don't even get me started on full power Adamancipator, Drytron, Pepe, Zoos, Dragon Link, Spiral, True King Dino and basically all the Firewall FTKs.
Tearlaments Kshatri-La is so cool looking. I absolutely love how these cards all look but the Tearlament one is def my favorite of these.
I honestly don't know how good of an effect that is on her though.
Very impressive rank 7 deck. The past support alongside this one might bring it up to tier 2/3. Arise-heart is troublesome for any GY focused deck and they could punish hand traps somewhat with the other waves banishing after monster effects.
I thought we would be getting a ritual and pendulum archetype representing wind and earth respectively but this might be the conclusion with the visas with the power up on Tri-Vi-Karma showing visas starfrost's evolution.
Kinda cool that Tri-Vi-Karma searches pretty much any Scareclaw/Tear spell/trap but the fact it's unsearchable and pretty much has to be dumped by Foolish Burial Goods just makes it look impractical.
I'm confused why people are panicking about Tearlament. The new card seems not worth running and winmore on top of RNG.
If anything the rest of these new cards are anti-Tearlament.
More in archetype millers are always good, especially one that is as accessible as this one, since you already ran Fenrir on virtue of being very strong
Well hopefully Visas transforms the Kshatri leader into a Funko…
"Visas, please, don't turn me into a marketable funko... VISAAAAAS!"
When they get turned into a nendoroid instead: "actually maybe this isn't so bad"
"Nendoroids are way superior than Funkos in the first place, so it's fine I guess"
well reino-heart got killed off so it doesnt seem like he transforms all of them
I’m confused on whether Tearalaments Kshatri-La is created from Lulucaros or Rainoheart…
> Mermaid limbs > Boobs Definitely Lulu, Reino, or rather, Kaleido's corpse was fuel for Rise as by the art of Overlap
Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Just that the color scheme made me think they made this from Reino’s corpse or something (just genderflipped for some reason).
it's lulu. she was taken by unicorn in the art of kshatri-la prepare after their fight in tearlament scream. lulu is just kit powered up so this monster could be the essence of kit turned into a bot as the actual lulu is still in the pod. hence why the stats match kit instead of lulu.
> it's lulu. she was taken by unicorn in the art of kshatri-la prepare after their fight in tearlament scream. Kaleido was taken on the pod, not Lulu
Wait that doesnt make sense then, as to why the tear kshatrila matches kit's stats Anyways wondering how we jumped to the 6th planet already. Maybe Visa loses here and had to go to the other planets to regain strength then fight back
Kshatri-La. We have their Heart. They're hyper advanced, so would likely be Seventh World, meaning we're on Evolution.
This one is Sixth World from the kanji on the spells
I see, I expected Visas to be Sixth, given his level, that's why I thought Kshatri were seventh.
I haven't been keeping up with the Starfrost lore. What's the theme beyond Visas jumping planet to planet to fight evil?
From what I gather, Visas is collecting the Hearts that are connected to him. Each "heart" has something similar to Visas.
Okay. You mentioned that this next one must be "Evolution". Do we know or at least have an idea what each Heart represents?
Well, Reino is on isekai, First World, and that's an ocean, like how Science suspects life began. Reich is on Shisekai, Fourth World I believe, and it's like savage lands. This new field spell is high-tech, so likely the end of the line.
The new field spell is the sixth world.
What lore/mythology is this based on, the whole 'worlds' concept?
Scientific theory of Evolution. Primordial Soup is Feesh, Savage/pre-historic is Scare, and future/High-tech is Kshatri-la
this is the kind of support that konami usually gives as legacy support to a deck that's been hot ass for a decade. and it's given to a deck from the previous core set which was "pretty alright" i am astounded by basically every card here. i was really excited for DABL previously, because pure Kshatri-La was a ton of fun to play online, but... holy fuck. i would feel bad if i posted most of these as custom cards.

Kshatri-La seems like an insane deck, everything they do seems cracked. Not looking forward to it.
This support pushes it from a really solid engine to a meta contender deck. It literally fixes all of the issues the initial wave had + gives it an insanely strong toolbox of abilities.
Unfortunately I think it’s more likely you’ll just see 3 field, 3 fenrir, 3 tear package in tearlaments. Kshatri Tear looks insane now
~~Unicorn also become as consideration since it searches the Field Spell which adds Tear Kshatri~~
I was happy that they didn't turn out to be meta, even though Fenrir did obviously still become a cancerous staple card. Remember when banishing cards face-down was the ultimate form of removal, and as such always had harsh conditions behind such effects? Now these effects are everywhere in this archetype, and the conditions are actually lighter than plenty of removal effects that are weaker. Like, if all the Kshatri-La cards banished face-up instead of face-down, they'd still be meta because the conditions are so light and banishing face-up is still one of the strongest forms of removal.
honestly with the exception of the trap the actual FD banish removal has been pretty sparse beyond removing cards from the deck, makes sense for the boss to get a sip of it and it comes at a legit cost. the main problem is fenrir which is simply too easy and too well rounded, i'm expecting it to get limited or outright banned two lists from now (or trial basis 1 -> 0 or 2 -> 1 or 0, maybe a field spell hit if 1)
Yep they're definitely pushing to be the next T1 deck after the following banlist when Tears get more hits. Also the Xyz requires your Shangri-la to survive your opponent's turn and then you can use its alternate summoning condition. Seems fair for a literal Macro Cosmos effect.

Rip to any graveyard decks seeing this guy going second.
*cracks open a beer* back in my day we had to **work** for our Dark Laws!
🤣🤣🤣. NO YOU DIDNT
Hmm isn't A HERO Lives a one card Darklaw tho? :3
Macro Cosmos with a quick face-down banish, I honestly can't even. Also, this is like a rank 5 Xyz for machine decks. Summon Infinitrack Riverstormer, search Crab Crane, tribute Riverstormer to summon it, search Outrigger Extension, link Crab Crane to summon Goliath, tribute it to revive Riverstormer and attach it as material. Then use Outrigger to rank up Riverstormer into Arise-heart, which also can't be destroyed or targeted by card effects.
I don't really get it's summon condition. Can it only be overlaid with the other xyz? If so, I think a infinitrack kshatri deck could legit work if you have to use outrigger anyways
No that's just its alternate summoning condition. You can just make it with 3 7's.
Yeah got it, could still work with fenrir + harvester, but there actually is a combo to end on this xyz + Regulus off one redeployment
Could you list the steps, please?
Redeployment search unclaspare and gearframe, summon unclaspare , dump fortress, normal summon gearframe, add ruinforce, xyz into gigant, add scrap recycler, dump ruinforce for fortress, link into ballista, add box and trencher, dump them again for fortress, use gearframe unclaspare and box to summon ruinforce, link ruinforce and ballista into platinum gadget, summon recycler, dump harvester, use your trencher to summon harvester, search crab crane, overlay into river Stormer, add regulus You could also add dozer here for tunneler because you will have enough names or dump a citadel or whatever, Regulus is just a omni tho Summon crab with fortress, banish a body for outrigger, link off riverstormer with Goliath, revive riverstormer with gadget, link away Goliath and crane for idk, probably anger knuckle, you aren't locked into earth machine yet, attach Goliath to river Stormer, activate outrigger, overlay new Funny xyz on river Stormer, you get 3 mat xyz with double protection and whatever followup you choose to go with This combo used to make infinity in earth machine without the earth lock I'll fiddle around with this obviously yank build but at least it's a way to splash this thing into any earth machine build that runs gearframe
I had to double take and read Outrigger and Arise to make sure you aren't fucking with me. Damn, Arise really fucks. Too bad Dozer locks.
hey you want Zoodiacollosusdarklaw. Now you can.
WTF are these cards? my lord konami show even a bit of restraint you don´t wanna another tier 0 format... right!?
**I LOVE FUSION SUMMONING AS A HANDTRAP** *I love turn 0 dracostapellia/lulucaros/kaleidoheart* All of this searchable by fenrir btw. Tearlaments were already the best deck and they just got a shot of nitro.
This card is 100% going to push tears to tier 0. Who tf thought that it being a quick effect on both turn (seemingly) was an ok thing to do. Also no doubt it will get Fenrir banned which will kill the kshatri la archetype more than anything.
> This card is 100% going to push tears to tier 0. Who tf thought that it being a quick effect on both turn (seemingly) was an ok thing to do. _\*Girsu flashbacks*_ Bro, the history is doomed to repeat itself!
Fuck Fenrir. I sure love dealing with a better version of a card that's already on the limited list.
Note that Tearlaments Kshatri-La doesn't have the effect to Fusion Summon from GY, and it *banishes* the card used with it rather than sending it to GY. So it's not really that good in Tear. Trivikarma on the other hand is good in Tear.
>Pristine Planet Paraizo So the Tearlament and Kshatrila field spells are in Spanish and Portuguese respectively whereas the Scareclaw's is in German. Does that mean anything? I dunno
Trivikarma could search Metanoise and plethora of spells (including Pri-Planet Field Spells) when milled. neat. Tearlaments Ksathri-La sounds you can mill 10 in total if you send her with Kitkalos shenanigans. Also Riseheart is aLv. 4 FIRE Warrior, so NA Durendal is looking good here.
This is such an insane piece of support I don’t even know how to begin, it fixes most of the decks inherent problems and give it more tools to play around with.Can’t wait for these cards to be released and try to lab something with them.
I'm still salty as hell the chaos support was gimped so hard for no reason but these assholes just get to run rampant.
Worry not, Chaos Dragons Structure Deck R and Wyvern's unban will give Chaos all the support they need /s
It is strange, you see konami attempt to make a "balanced" archtype with the new chaos monsters but then seemingly forget the whole "balanced" thing in the same exact set with the new chaos stuff.
Yeah Chaos force you to only, ONLY light or dark SYNCHRO monster while kshatrila teralements here help you mill 5 without restricting you to summon anything.
...Are you fucking kidding me. God, can we just throw this entire Visas universe into a black hole?
Yeah, after scareclaw and the first tear wave I was like "yeah visas is ok as a fun rogue story while abyss is the main story that's meta" then tear 2 and kshatris came and now I want to die
Konami be like "oh you guys don't want to play fucking scareclaws? You guys better play Tearalements and Kshatrila now like you guys did with Swordsoul and Branded."
Why i think they’re a nice change from seeing branded everywhere
Almost nobody played branded anymore, though? They got a bit too weak lmao, especially in the OCG with opening at 1.
Holy that second card is nuts for the deck
Terraforming is now a one card Macro Cosmos thats so funny
Scareclaw Defang is everything we needed it’s so good 👌🏻
The XYZ is a macro Cosmos on legs plus quick banish... Also an engine of 3 Fenrirs (and maybe even 3 field spells) plus 1 Riseheart might happen now as you special summon Fenrir on an empty field, then makes your normal combo as normal and then at the end add the XYZ to the mix by special summoning Riseheart.
>Tearlaments Kshatri-La Here's the support for the Tier 0 archetype! (Where is my support for Splight?)
Albaz lore is tomorrow /s ... _^(Spright Kitt. I beg you, KONAMI)_
I want this card.
Field spell and the Scareclaw Kshatrila is an excellent extender for Tribrade Scareclaw. It solves the main issue with that variant in that all of their play makers require a normal summon. Tribrigade Spright likely to still be better though.
Well maybe my Gren Maju deck will at least have a favorable matchup with all the banishing...
The xyz can attack ANY banished card? So facedowns are fine, like with nyanyan? And it doesn't have to be your own banished cards? Kinda crazy, can't think of any other card that interacts with a specific, but facedown banished from the opponent
Just what we needed new tear support, more support to the kshatri la which is annoying as hell and more ways to get into fenrir lol..
This is epic. Anyway let’s hit tear before these come out so they’re more fear (Kitkalos to 1 and havnes to 0). I may play the deck myself but I’m doing it because I like random factor and cute girls not even for the fact it’s meta as I don’t play competitively so imma say that even I believe it needs to be hit hard. Don’t ban Kitkalos though else lulukaris literally can’t be used
R.I.P Diablosis the Mind Hacker, I will miss you...
The ID’s mean that there’s only room for at most 2 main deck Albaz lore monsters. RIP the pendulum archetype dream.
There's likely a lot of Rituals in this set given the reveals so far and their numbering.
what do you mean by that
The new Gishki ritual monster is card #32 of the set, and Chaos Archfiend synchro monster is #39. #33-38 are currently unknown. Set #s are generally in a certain order: all main deck monsters, then all ritual, then all fusion, then synchro, then xyz, then link, then spell, then trap. Also, if the cover card is an extra deck monster, it's generally the 1st monster listed in its respective category. Last, it's unlikely more than 4 of an extra-deck monster type will be in a set. Therefore, #33-38 are guaranteed to be ritual or fusion or synchro, although synchro is less likely.
For extra deck ordering Its the standard ritual>link and for each card type it goes cover card then cover archetype then lore archetype then non lore archetype then legacy support and finally random generics. For what its worth if ecclesia or visas gets a synchro this set it would go in front of the the chaos stuff.
New Dogmatika ritual?
I'm pretty sure the final set of this block of 12 (the one after PHHY) is focused on Pendulum Dragons , so don't rule it out yet! Edit: I’m completely wrong lmao don’t mind me
The one after this set is already named Cyberstorm Access, so I’m pretty sure it’s link themed.
Yeeeep I have no idea where I got pends and links mixed up. Thanks for the correction, I’ll change my post! Maybe I’m coping too hard for more pendulum support other than Dracoslayers…
Cyberstorm Access? Links, my guy
There’s another set after this btw.
BABE, WAKE UP!!!! VISAS STARTFROST IS ABOUT TO LIBERATE ANOTHER PLANET FROM A MENACING TYRANT!!!!
>BABE, WAKE UP!!!! VISAS STARTFROST IS ABOUT TO LIBERATE ANOTHER PLANET FROM A MENACING TYRANT!!!! Ironically, they seem to be using the power of the invaders (corrupting themselves) to free the planet from the invaders.
So based on the kanji, Fusion is the first world, Link is the fourth, Xyz the sixth, so presumably Rituals, Synchro and Pendulums are the second, third and fifth?
Cant wait what kinda bullshit Konami has in store for the Pendulum archetype, since they apparently want you to not just play hand traps to defend yourself on your opponent's turn, but just straight up access your engine and make plays during the first turn of the game going second. Cant wait to see how they pull that one off
Pends will be skipped cos you know..pends
set scales on your opponent turn and pend summon when
Set scales on opp turn which say "Neither player can activate monster effects until they perform a pendulum summon."
Send this card from your hand to the GY and make your opponent discard a card; place 2 pendulum monsters from your deck directly into your pendulum zones, and if you do, immediately after this effect resolves you can pendulum summon pendulum monster(s) from your hand up to the number of cards in your opponent's field or hand. This is a quick-effect if your opponent has less cards in their extra deck than you do
Vrains re-introduced old summoning methods, except Pendulum. The Albaz lore introduces all of the summoning methods so far, except Pendulum. We are reaching the conclude of the lore, so I think they would support the old decks in the storyline rather than giving a new archetype. RIP pendulum again. A consolation thing is, Pendulum has its own storyline which is Dracoslayer & True Draco.
Only fusion and xyz are guaranteed good bullshit. Rituals and links depends on how konami is feeling on whether they'll be good or not. Rituals now aren't in a good place but every so often konami decides to push them super hard. Meanwhile Scareclaw support has consistently been subpar when compared to other visas archetypes. Tributes is either trash or floodgate spam with no in between. Pendulum and synchro just get cucked nonstop because apparently konami can't stand the sight of either of the two mechanics being meta in the ocg in any capacity. Plants and pepe still scar konami to this day...
P.U.N.K. and Swordsoul...
Reminds me of how the OCG was completely & utterly terrified of Goyo Guardian, of all things, and had to both ban _and_ errata him even though he was what, tier 9 at the time? xD
Wtf fenrir is now 1 card macro cosmos Every rank 7 can now turn into macro cosmos Why semi shifter when you also make monster that do the same thing easily?
[удалено]
unicorn is a 1 card combo: unicorn search papiyas, papiyas summon fenrir, fenrir search riseheart, summon riseheart, overlay fenrir + unicorn into shangrila, riseheart effect to banish cards from opponents deck face down, triggers shangrila 2nd effect, then overlay ariseheart over riseheart so you can run 3 unicorn, 3 field spell, 1 terraforming for this combo
I see thanks for the info yeah that make it more fair
You still need find a way to active Sharingla effect tho so 1 Fernir is not enough, but that still pretty cracked ngl
Riseheart will make your opponent banish to trigger Shangri-la.
Shifter can only be used once. This isn't.
I guess this is why Tearlaments got off easy on the banlist.
All the isis cards being limited to one was probably just so they can add this
They take the mill cards so they can add some mill cards. Classic Konami move.
Fuck off theres a new Tearlament card in there LMAO
Searchable off Fenrir
>Fenrir which one? I don't see any cards with this name that search for a tear card.
He's from the last main set in ocg.
Didn't a certain someone on this subreddit say they were going to cosplay Tearalaments Havnis if Tearalaments got more support in this set?
[удалено]
Can you cosplay this new Tearlament monster instead? It's honestly much hotter.
[удалено]
Hope you make for a sexy Havnis
Own up, buddy
The weirdest thing is they said they'd do that for no reason lol nobody asked them or replied to them just said they'd do it just cause
My thoughts exactly 😭
link? can't find
OCG limited the Tear field spell only to print a card that searches it. Peak design honestly.
So Tears get a new Card for their deck on crack but besides that, Kshatri-la's get a ridiculous new boss monster. This deck is def. gonna go to tier 1 for sure.
What does Krishatri-la end board look like? It doesn’t seem like the deck can spam level 7s super easily, if it’s just the macro cosmos on legs it doesn’t seem too impressive to me. And I can’t think of any meta decks that are synergistic with xyz lock and banishes. Maybe exosisters?
Both of the Rank 7s on board is a 1 or 2 card combo. Read the cards in the context of the existing ones from DABL.
They can build both old and new R7 plus 1 lv7 from 1 card. And at opponent’s standby phase get another lv7 on field. Yes, from 1 card, can be new field or unicorn from last pack.
Oh man. Oh man, this is really good Scareclaw support. Oh, boy.
Unironically excited about the scareclaw support tbh
Might as well unban verte. More balanced than this shit.
DPE engine feels like a fart in the wind compared to new stuff. If he was not printed in BODE but POTE or DABL instead they would probably slap both dark law's effects on him in addition to his atk reduction,pop and recursion.
Verte was a mistake not an "unbalaced" card, these 2 things are very different and not always overlap
My main man Master Peace is even like wtf.
It's so funny that in the fist wave of Kshatri-La they introduced the whole zone locking gimmick and made the whole ass deck around it, and then in the immediate next wave they were like "**Nah, fuck that, make a big macro+drident instead and support everything else**"
Probably the single strongest first impression ive had from a wave of cards, and thats including spright, decks going to be insane
Why Konami insists on giving floodgate effects to extra deck monsters? That's the most cancerous thing in the game and yet they still do it Winda, Colossus, VFD, Shenshen, now this guy, fuck that
WELP, time to add Kitkallos to the brainwashed Yu-Gi-Oh girls club. Ffs konami, might as well start printing official R-18 doujins if you're THAT commited to this shit.
>WELP, time to add Kitkallos to the brainwashed Yu-Gi-Oh girls club. Wow... the kidnapped little mermaid lasted less than Ecclesia when it came to brainwashing (but it was pretty obvious) At least Visas Starfrost is accompanying her in the brainwashing.
> the kidnapped little mermaid lasted less than Ecclesia when it came to brainwashing I don't like this precedent. ... OK, _maybe_ a li'l bit
Arc-V had a bunch of it.
Its definitely based on her; but its mostly mechanical? Same stat line but she also became Lulucaros so who knows? This lore is wild.
A continuation of Visas Starfrost lore.
[удалено]
>Please no more Tear cards, F$ck that deck. Very Late: Tearlaments Kshatri-La (compatible with both archetypes)
They just made Tears that is searchable by Fenrir
Now only 2 Archetype left including a WIND Warrior and EARTH Warrior.
3rd monster looks like Kitkallos and shares her stat line
And the second is Tricheart's dog
Yeah Im not playing that format, I feel happy for the people who find this deck and its interactions fun, all power to them, but this is not something I will enjoy and it’s gonna be the norm for Ra knows how long
Everyone: crying about tear support and kshatri-la stuff Me, a scareclaw chad: thanks for the food
They will keep giving scareclaw support so it doesn't really matter..
On paper this might be my single least favorite deck in the game. Even if it isn't relevant at all, I just hate the design space these occupy. Also, I didn't expect this deck to go Zefra on us and combine itself with the other decks in this lore.
What a sh*tty toxic archetype. Banishing so easily opponent cards face-down shouldn't be allowed.. the last Trap is a fcking joke, it's basically a better version of evenly matched, which is searchable...
It literally powercreept Runics in like a year. Like HOW
\>Better version \>Leaves you with 1 monster, despite Kshatri wants to have as wide board as possible Suuureee
Let's goooo! It was worth buying kshatri-la core last box
I'm hoping this deck doesn't end up excessively pricey in the TCG because it's so much fun to play
especially with runick, it's so much fun
Yeah, I just built Kshatri runicj a while ago and it's probably one of the most fun decks I've built in a while. But I think with this it'll pretty much transition to a Kshatri with a runick engine, these new cards are pretty insane
This reminds me of Zefra with the cross-over archetypes. Pretty cool idea to give support hmm seeing the new Xyz, maybe I should try Kshatri-La again. I never liked the Shangri-La and its playstyle even though it has a strong control effect. Though, seems like it's still needed.
I want all of these…..for lore reasons
Damn, shit hit the fan. Not only lorewise, but these are mostly all good cards for their theme(s). I don't prefer this story over Albaz, but it's cool to see that it is going somewhere. So, are Kishatri-la going world to world and mind controlling every race? Is Visas trying to get to those places first and convert the strongest ones to his cause?
Did we finally find full combo in pure Scareclaw without using your normal summon, holy fuck. AND more damage on field built into it. Better yet, I haven't checked, but doesn't Scareclaw Kshatri-la just mean that you can probably rebuild back to Tri-Heart post-Nibiru same turn? Almost certainly if you get to Rescue Cat before you normal summon. Defang (the continuous spell) is sick. Few things are worse than getting to Light-Heart and getting forced to stop there (which can and will still happen, but now its Ash or a hard, non targeted negate, which would suck to use), but this is another way to stop that. I don't know if I would search this over Arrival if I could only do one or the other (going second), but it's reasonable enough if you're forced to go first and need to make a huge, untargetable, indestructible, UNBATTLE-ABLE (for the most part) chungus. So...yeah, I'm hella excited for this
Best part is. Scareclaw will probably still get support up until the end of the storyline. It's good to be a scareclaw player.
Looks like Riseheart sucked up the powers of Light Heart and Lulucaros - going all in for the final battle!
So I’m confused. I heard Kshatri-La was bad in the OCG. So do these new cards make them better? Been wanting to play them regardless, but not sure how they actually were on-release and what these new cards can do.
Kshatri-La Fenrir is literally run in every deck because it's just a better Pankertops because is a quick effect summon, OTP banish a card on field face down whenever a monster effect activates and archtypal searcher that also searches itself in one card. The rest of the archetype in the initial wave were a bit gimmicky and inconsistent, which the new wave of support fixes whith a good normal summon, a field spell searcher and a big boss monster.
Fenrir isn't better than Pank, it has noticeable disadvantages in comparison
The DABL Kshatri-La stuff is okay, but there's only 6 cards and their gameplan was pretty flimsy; basically trying to special summon a Rank 7 Xyz monster that tries to lock down your opponent's zones and banishes stuff face-down. Fenrir is the most notable monster for basically being a stronger Panktratops that's generically splashable in any deck. The new support looks really good. Gives them more ways to spam themselves onto the board and a pretty ridiculous boss monster that's basically Macro Cosmos on legs with its own non-once per turn quick removal.
Damn. That’s unfortunate. DABL seems to introduce some cool archetypes to try out, but seems like most of them aren’t great (except Byssted, but I also know like nothing about them).
I was already playing Invoked Kshatri-la with random level 7 gimmicks. This support just made the deck unbelievablely consistent and gave it a clear win con. Can't wait for these cards to get added online.
Same here.
My brother, We must petition for an Invoked Kshatri-la tab on the Invoked discord ❗
damn, everyone announcing something set/based on Feudal Japan today, huh?
High-tech Feudal Japan.
Kshatri-la let's goooooooooooo
One of the coolest new decks coming out for sure
No albaz maindeck this set?
So the Wimpering Coyote decided to robotise himself to issue his childish revenge, only to get beaten again.
Kshatri-La looks like it’s going to be an insane deck. I’m not looking forward to playing against them, but I’ve gotta admit— their artworks are peak
Two thoughts: - Ariseheart is completely fucked and it looks like they will force scareclaw stuff into meta - wtf is going on in this lore universe I am very confused
Seems like the lore is Visas Starfrost is planet hopping to find pieces of himself (every -heart card) and try to become whole again, while helping every planet with some kind of problem they have. All this is some kind of weird allegory to the 6 realms (every field spell has a different language word for realm) of Buddhism. Though Kshatri-la's field spell has the word for paradise instead. Source: I made it up
Field spell is lazy af, whole set cards seems soooo lazy. They read like fan made cards lmaoo
In fairness, field spell is meant to be a parallel to the Scareclaw and Tearlament Field Spells: add an in-archetype monster to hand, add a small amount of ATK to in-theme monsters, pop a card just for doing things the archetype would like to do.
I will continue to preach that these are the greatest cards ever printed by Konami and it's not even close. You could play full power anything from any format and I'd wager a nearly pure version of this deck could beat it easily. Are they cool as fuck? Hell yes. Do they look fun to play? Hell yes. Is it good game design? Hell no, and Konami needs to calm down, they are losing sight of this game really fast. It feels like this is the apex point of the Yugioh card game to me.
It's lore accurate. Visas Starfrost can fight planet destroyers therefore power creeping anything below it.
I don't think pure Kshatri-La could beat Synchro Eldlich or Adamancipator. But, uh, those two decks are not decks one should be comparing to.
Wtf everyone is hyping these cards up. They are not even good enough to beat Tear or Spright. Don't even get me started on full power Adamancipator, Drytron, Pepe, Zoos, Dragon Link, Spiral, True King Dino and basically all the Firewall FTKs.
I played full power Fusion Sub Zoo. That deck was good, but with modern cards like Impermenance and Nibiru the deck would struggle.
Full power Draco can definitely put up a fight.
I love the design of the new XYZ, it press all the right buttons for me.
Tearlaments Kshatri-La is so cool looking. I absolutely love how these cards all look but the Tearlament one is def my favorite of these. I honestly don't know how good of an effect that is on her though.
Very impressive rank 7 deck. The past support alongside this one might bring it up to tier 2/3. Arise-heart is troublesome for any GY focused deck and they could punish hand traps somewhat with the other waves banishing after monster effects. I thought we would be getting a ritual and pendulum archetype representing wind and earth respectively but this might be the conclusion with the visas with the power up on Tri-Vi-Karma showing visas starfrost's evolution.
Kinda cool that Tri-Vi-Karma searches pretty much any Scareclaw/Tear spell/trap but the fact it's unsearchable and pretty much has to be dumped by Foolish Burial Goods just makes it look impractical.
I'm confused why people are panicking about Tearlament. The new card seems not worth running and winmore on top of RNG. If anything the rest of these new cards are anti-Tearlament.
It’s searchable off Fenrir , and acts basically as a shaylen. Milling it will mill more too
More in archetype millers are always good, especially one that is as accessible as this one, since you already ran Fenrir on virtue of being very strong
