Notes & Combos
Wanted to take a break from Tear Zero mirrors in D1 and busted out the ol' Swoso. Played 5 matches, won 5 matches. 3 Ishtears, a Floo, and a Numeron.
Only change I bothered to make from pre-Tear Zero was -Lightning Storm + TTT. Obviously this list isn't teched optimally for this meta, but doing so makes it boring by taking out the actually fun half of the deck (Tenyis) and replacing them Shifter and Dim Fissures.
Just wanted to remind y'all that it's not only Tear and GY hate turbo that's playable in this format. Decks that do any unfair thing can cheat out wins even without relying on targetted GY hate.
Protos + Chengying + Chixiao (Optional) is enough of an endboard to handle most of your matchups. Don't be reluctant to Dragon Circle your Chixiao for Protos if Emergence gets Ash'd.
Be mindful of Havnis during your turn 3 crackback. If your turn 1 board remains, try to put lethal on board without activating on field effects. Tear has very few ways to play in an open board state without their backrow.
