True Light control in Ishizu Tearlaments Meta

Описание: This deck is the updated version of my Blue-Eyes deck that reached D1 on January 2023 (   • DIAMOND 1 PURE BLUE-EYES 2023 (TRUE LIGHT ...  ) to counter Ishizu Tearlaments. I adjusted the decklist and added some cards to counter both Ishizu Tearlaments decks and anti-Ishizu Tear decks, which run rampant on the ladder.

Due to the popularity of Ishizu Tearlaments (and Anti-Tear decks), I needed to adjust the playstyle of this jet. In this meta, there are 2 kinds of mainstream decks played by players (in Diamond).
They are either Tearlaments variant or anti-Tearlaments variant (for example Phantasm Spiral, Necrovalley, etc). Blue-Eyes deck (this version at least) is in the middle of the crossfire between these 2 factions (Ishizu Tear vs Anti-Tear Variant), because the deck relies on GY, while both of these decks can counter GY. Previously, I could rely on Jet's recurssive effect (from GY) to win games. With Ishizu shufflers and anti-GY cards like Dimensional Fissure, I could not longer rely on this card. Besides, those cards can make some cards in this deck to be useless.Thus, I decided to make the hard choice, by playing Soul Drain(to counter Ishizu) , adding evenly match, and cutting 1 Jet, to stand a chance.

The 3 newly limited cards (Skill Drain, Gozen, and Rivalry) are actually very good against Ishizu Tearlaments and good against other decks too. With these cards limited and their substitutes are mainly good against Ishizu Tear (and against Dark +Fusion decks as well), this version of the deck can struggle against other decks.
