Notes & Combos

Another month, another season with Luna Tear! Reached M2 day 3 with a 72% WR, but unfortunately life + flip flopping in M2 made this M1 run much longer than it had any right to be. This is also the same list I topped a Challenger Cup with (Farfa's most recent 512 CC) where I went 7-0 in swiss but lost in top 32 to an unfortunate brick and not drawing a Dweller out.

Why play the Lunalight engine?

• If you play Tear, you may have noticed that you are experiencing a drop in consistency in the hands you open being playable and your mills being good.
• Instead of bloating your deck with excessive non engine in Bystials, give some slots to an engine that provides extra gas.
• • The Lunalight engine solves your mills being horrible by adding additional good mills in Chick/Perfume, with minor consistency boosts when you open Chick + Tiger/Perfume or hit them in a mill 3/5.
• • It also provides additional mill power in Dugares, Kagutsuchi and Curious
• As a result, the Lunalight engine offers a much higher ceiling as well as consistency in reaching this ceiling (I almost always was able to make a full board of Elf + Gryphon + Dweller + Kaleido + Sulliek + Snow going first)
• It also provides up to 3 additional pushes going second (Dugares, Kagutsuchi, Dharc, Sprind) allowing you to break many boards with ONLY ENGINE
• • Lunalights provide the gas to establish your own board after breaking the opponents. I went 2-5 on cointosses in the CC, but won all 5 games going 2nd thanks to the Lunas
• • "Tears to break, Lunas to establish"
• Gryphon is a stupid card that can set Sulliek (at 1) or Spoly/Droplets and floodgates the opponent for easy wins once it hits the field
• • It is impossible for 60 card pile decks to "gas" through your board when Gryphon is up
• You do not have to play bricky traps like Cryme because you beat Evenly in engine! Snow banish Kaleido Chick in BP beats Evenly as well as any Battle tricks (Numeron, Avramax and Runicks go bye bye)
• Easier to deckout the opponent going second when you are under Maxx C
