At least their "Link 1 summon" was hard once per turn

The issue with Snake-Eye isnt that there's no other decks. Its that the format is way too tight, the top decks are all too expensive, the games are too luck dependant, and the format has been going on since February (so 8 months atm). And this is coming from someone who likes the Diabellstar lore decks. I'm hoping the new changes are enough to keep the Azamina cards from making SE super fucking oppressive again, but that's yet to be seen. Right now i'm carefully optimistic.

People have rose tinted glasses for this era but i still think it was a toxic format. Zoodiac just outresource any deck with a Drident and set 5 / have 5 handtraps.

Are we certain Zoos are the most toxic and not either Gumblar handlooping people for 5 or Kash when it could make you unable to play by locking all your zones or straight up win through mill during their combo because they had both Mind Hacker and Arise-Heart? The fact people thought those cards could be unbanned on this recent list is suprising... I may have started ad adamancipator, but dealing with Kashtira at it's full power made me contemplate murder as a viable strategy. Luckily for me (and any possible opponents) I no longer play the modern meta. Unfortunately, this means I will one day seek to inflict that pain onto others by playing the most toxic deck in Edison format that most people seem to forget exists (because it's an unspoken agreement to not play Self-Destruct Button)

The fact that you missed out Zoo era explained a lot, yeah. 1. Zoo is basically the first deck of its kind that started the trend of 1-card combo. Most decks before it required at least 2 cards to do things, with 1 of them is a hard draw. 2. Zoo can generate way too much advantage, even without the normal summon. That’s why it’s splashable in pretty much almost every deck. You either play Zoodiac or lose to it. 3. Zoo also started the trend of decks with minimal archtypal cards and tons of tech cards. And yeah, Ash Blossom was introduced in Zoo era too. 4. Gumblar loop may be broken because it stops you from doing anything, but at least in that era, you have had more handtraps to deal

it's not Zoo's fault that all the good D/D/D cards got delayed multiple times and the final delay on the structure deck meant it wasn't playable in TCG until literally the week before Zoo came out.
