Tearlaments Kitkallos - POTE-EN042 - Ultra Rare - 1st Edition

Product Information

Yata-Garasu and Change of Heart are cards that were previously thought to be extremely powerful throughout the entirety of the game's history - until the TCG unbanned them first. After witnessing the low impacts that these cards brought to the metagame, it is very safe to say that these cards are completely outclassed and will never live up to their legendary status 15 years ago. Underworld Goddess of the Closed World can use one of the opponent's monsters as materials, becoming a safe way to remove monsters from the field. It can also negate Special Summon effects by tributing a monster you control. Rulkallos" provides battle protection to Aqua monsters, and has a Special Summon-effect negate that also sends a "Tearlaments" card from hand/field to GY by effect. Its GY trigger effect has it revive itself if it was Fusion Summoned.

This article will attempt to cover my personal thoughts and breakdown of the relevance of these sudden new shifts within the F/L list while we celebrate the passing of another great year. As a final disclaimer, this is about the OCG January 2023 Ban List. Several TCG exclusives like Garura, Wings of Resonant Life and Pitknight Earlie do not exist in the OCG yet. If Kitkallos hits the grave in any fashion she will give you a mill of five cards. Holy cow, there are a lot of archetypes that want that effect and Tearlaments are only one of them. Lightsworn and Shaddoll come to mind immediately. Within their archetype you have the potential of having all five milled cards trigger and that is something that really makes the archetype something dangerous.Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart" is named after a kaleidoscope, referencing the archetype's stained glass aesthetic. Raigeki and Foolish Burial Goods are very weird hits in my opinion, because while they were never useful in the latest metagame, semi-limiting them makes no difference at all. However, they could be very important pieces for supports in the next three months, we may never know. What do I think of this List?

Main article: The Valuable Book EX 3 card storylines §No. 02: The New Broken Worlds Etymology [ edit ] Kitkallos being banned seems like the most oblivious hit as its the main play maker due to the search, mill, and easy material requirement. While its the material for Rulkallos not only can they fairly easily use swamp king but they could print another monster that has the effect to copy her name. Along with making instant fusion a one card combo enabler. Kitkallos" can add/send specific "Tearlaments" cards to the hand/GY, and summon "Tearlaments" monsters from hand/GY while sending another monster from field to GY by effect. Its GY trigger effect mills 5. Bigger version of Kitkallos, needing Kitkallos and another Tearlament monster for the Fusion Summon. Because you need Kitkallos for this summon, you’ll have to Fusion summon her first and then fusion climb, which in Tearlaments isn’t hard to come by. Send another Tearlament monster that you haven’t used for the Kitkallos Fusion Summon, and boom! You’ve got Rulkallos. This is even easier to come by if you use Instant Fusion to summon Kitkallos and then mill a Tearlament monster that can perform the Fusion Summon through any kind of milling or discarding means. Tearlaments have their own effects to mill, they have the Ishizu monsters, and they’ve got Tearlament Grief, Tearlament Heartbeat, and Tearlament Scream in the form of Spell cards to send/mill to get that Tearlament in the grave to perform another Fusion Summon. Ancient Fairy Dragon is a newly released level 7 synchro that partly synergizes with the Kashtira theme, so it may grant some sort of boon in return, but personally I believe this archetype is now unplayable as both pure or an engine. Minor Archtypical ChangesSky Striker Ace - Kagariis a very notable unhit, as if to celebrate the continuous waves of support the archetypes gets every year. This time, the power level of the game is way too high for Sky Strikers to compete. Although it may be a while before we can expect full power Sky Strikers again, we could be expecting even stronger cards for them, like the newly released Sky Striker Ace - Azalea. Generic Changes To reflect their theme of sadness, the mermaid girls "Tearlaments" were depicted as in distress or crying for various reasons, such as being abused by "Reinoheart" as seen in " Tearlaments Sulliek".

In this current meta, Evenly Matched is the most effective way to clear out the opponent's field, at the cost of doing nothing during the Battle Phase. The less cards you have on the field, the stronger this cards is; and because the cards are banished, the Tearlaments Cards cannot activate their GY effects. NOTE: Because Tearlaments Reinoheart was used as material, you can Fusion Summon Tearlaments Rulkallos instead in this combo, depending on your cicrcumstances. Alternate Card Options This picture depicts the 19 – 27 November Metagame. It is not an exact accurate representation of the current OCG Meta. Lava Golem and the other Kaiju-like monsters (like the Kaiju archetype, and The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode) can actually take care of the Tearlaments Fusion Monsters, as tributing them does not count as "sent to the GY due to a card effect".The week ends off with the new boss monster for the Tearlaments archetype, and an upgraded form of Kitkallos, Tearlaments Rulkallos. a b c d Effect/card can only be activated if the player controls either a "Tearlaments" monster or a " Visas Starfrost".

A 1-for-1 that Special Summons a Tearlament monster from your hand or grave by sending the targeted monster you control to the grave isn’t going to be a 1-for-1. You’ll target another Tearlament or Ishizu card and send it to the grave, activate its effect and get a plus off your “1-for-1”. Maybe you’ll mill and get more resources to use, maybe you’ll just trigger another Fusion Summon, either way, this effect IS NOT a 1-for-1. Tearlaments Rulkallos…well…this is awkard in light of the new banlist, but lets review it as if that didn’t happen. Tearlaments" is a portmanteau of "tear", "tiara", and "lament". The theme of sadness may be a reference to the tragic fairy tale The Little Mermaid. Should you have Terraforming instead of Primeval Planet Perlereino, activate it and search out the Field Spell as soon as possible. Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess provides negation against monster effects, and it gets stronger if it was summoned with more materials. Boss MonstersSince the inception of Kashtira, Tearlaments has proven that it is basically able to merge with any other archetype. What happens when Kashtira is hit on the banlist? Will Tearlaments simply adopt yet another engine? Because of how crucial the Graveyard is for the Tearlaments archetype, denying them that will shut down their combos. Dimension Shifter can do just that if you happen to open the Duel with it on hand, and might even singlehandedly win you the Duel if the opponent has no way of playing around i. It's the end of the year again! And with every end, comes a new beginning: the birth of a new OCG Format. Santa Claus has a list of nice and naughty cards, and here it is in its lengthy glory! for-1 effect on the surface to Special Summon a Tearlament from your hand or grave and send the other monster of yours that you had to target to the grave. Within this archetype and even used within other archetypes this won’t be a 1-for-1. Each Tearlament (minus Reinoheart) will trigger a Fusion Summon upon hitting the grave, monsters within other archetypes will trigger searches or field advantage. If you somehow only got a 1-for-1 with this effect it would feel like a negative. You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from you hand, but you cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect.
