Tearlaments
Elvis Agoto Jr “Junjun” (3rd in Asia Championship 2014, World Championship 2013 Philippines representative) went 10-0-1 and finished 1st in “Duelist Cup 2022 Philippines” which had 196 participants.
Extra-Foolish Burial in the Side Deck is his tech choice to play around Bystial Magnamhut, Bystial Druiswurm and Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries. Opening with Extra-Foolish Burial to send Tearlaments Kitkallos from the Extra Deck to the graveyard would trigger its effect to send the top 5 cards from deck to graveyard. If Tearlaments Scheiren, Tearlaments Havnis or Tearlaments Merrli were sent to the graveyard, then their graveyard effect to perform a Fusion Summon could be activated. Because there are no monsters on his field, the opponent could not respond with Bystial Magnamhut, Bystial Druiswurm or Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries.
Spright
XY (2nd in CCT Xiamen 2022) finished 1st in “China City Tournament Zhengzhou 2022” which had 278 participants.
Muckraker From the Underworld in the Extra Deck provides protection against Raigeki. When the opponent activates Raigeki on Chain 1, he could respond with I:P Masquerena effect on Chain 2. Resolving the chain, I:P Masquerena would use itself and another monster to Link Summon Muckraker From the Underworld. Then when Raigeki is resolving, Muckraker From the Underworld‘s Continuous Effect could be applied by tributing itself as substitute for the destruction of the other monsters on field.
It is important that Muckraker From the Underworld uses I:P Masquerena as Link Material for this to work on Raigeki. The OCG Database ruling for Muckraker From the Underworld states that a monster that is about to be destroyed cannot be tributed for the ① effect. Hence by using I:P Masquerena as Link Material, Muckraker From the Underworld cannot be destroyed by the opponent’s Raigeki, and thus could tribute itself for the ① effect instead of destroying the other monsters. The relevant ruling is under Muckraker From the Underworld Q & A.
Conclusion
Tearlaments leads another week with Spright trailing behind. With little to no impact on the metagame from the recent new releases, Tearlaments and Spright dominance is expected to continue for the remaining OCG 2022.07 format.
