Notes & Combos

Some messy hands at times, but that's expected when trying to counter a tier 0 deck.

I usually ended on Elf + Masq + Carrot + Catty, sometimes an additional level 2 body (used as a free negate for Carrot).

I linked off Melffy of the Forest every time because its negate neither works on normal summon nor is non-target. Can't negate any of the Tears, can't negate Albaz, Aluber or the fusions, can't negate the Floo birds, is not really worth it against Exosister. Herald on the other hand was an excellent flood gate and Merry Melffys helped greatly in the Mirror match.

Carrot is very important for the current meta because even Tear runs Evenly Matched. Wins the Numeron Matchup on its own, which I surprisingly encountered quite a few times.

Two Carrot and two Red because I like hard-drawing either of them and being able to end on an additional negate.

TTT is amazing, would play 3 if I had the dust. Almost always used the third effect, which won me some games on its own. Having knowledge about your opponents hand and adjusting your endboard makes a game a lot easier.

Gamma Burst is also quite good, helped in a lot of OTKs, but certainly does not help when going first and trying to set up a board.

Evenly Matched was a very hit or miss card for me. Usually Tear ends on Cryme and I don't really have a way to force it out without commiting a bit and then not being able to activate it anymore. Did help in some games, mostly non-Tear, but this is the first card I would cut if I had other options.

Avramax was extremely good and enabled me some comebacks, but in the end Tear can deal with anything :^)
