Pre-recorded video! VOTES: Snake-Eyes (89%) vs. Prank-Kids (11%) 0_o

[@otsman5614]

Strongest 1 card combo deck of 2022 vs the strongest 1 card combo of 2024

[@buddbrown6858]

only two years difference but feels the like night and day 😭

[@stonehitter]

One Card Combo with loci is also quit funny.

[@jikGeek]

It still baffles me as to why I Ishizu Tear is not 5x5*, but snake eyes is. Ishizu Tear should have been the first maxed out rating deck imo

[@_Sasuke_99]

For real tho. If anything, Snake-Eyes is what should have recovery at 4 and Tear have it at 5

[@stevenashley27]

Idk how the strongest deck of all time doesn’t have the highest rating on here but Snake Eyes does? Recency bias much?

[@Azkadaz]

​@@_Sasuke_99 No, Snake-Eyes has the best recovery perhaps of all time. I would put attack at 4. Their typical end board isn't the most intimidating but it's extremely consistent and resilient. The Zealantis OTK is just the Fire equivalent of Accesscode Talker which plenty of decks have, so I don't think it's a standout mark in that favor.

[@_Sasuke_99]

@@Azkadaz Ishizu Tear recovery is better, And ofc their attack is better too. They can very easily force out lots of negates with the deck engine alone, And could even OTK too with the field spell boost, Multiple removals and so on. If Tear doesn't get maxed out, Surely Snake-Eyes doesn't deserve to be maxed out either. That's our point

[@Azkadaz]

@@_Sasuke_99 I agree, Tearshizu should be maxed out. Their recovery is still a 5. But it is NOT better than Snake-Eyes. Snake-Eyes has guaranteed recovery through Original Sinful Spoils in the GY, even if their entire field and hand gets nuked and they get Time Sealed. With Tear, they have to top deck Reinoheart or Perlereino

[@BloodyVoyager]

Game 4 was disgusting. 4 handtraps, even though one is dead, and a 1 card starter that gets into an OTK through Nib. Just insane game design. Next match is Infernobles vs Dlink, right? One of the few matches in the modern bracket that's somewhat balanced lmao. Whichever goes first should take it.

[@divemissile8928]

maybe im coping but i feel like prank kids was held back mostly by the tech cards chosen in the list here. the engine seemed fine but stuff like ogre, twin twisters, droplet, etc really arent that great in this matchup. i suppose this is just a part of the tourney you cant really change though

[@jabberjo]

I think what really hurts the most about game 3 is that Lithium dodged 2 of 3 imperms and then met with imperm #3 before SE went through 10 cards if their deck. It happens but you still hurts when it does

[@gengstar09]

This was expected but heart breaking 😢

[@Jhawk2711]

Snake Eye of 2024 vs Snake Eye of the past

[@chrisburns9898]

This honestly convinces me we could prob have meow-mu back at 1. Prankid is just fragile snake eye.

[@petiteexplication6249]

Its already at 1 in MD with no change same goes for spyral cards and drident etc...

[@chrisburns9898]

@@petiteexplication6249 I’m still not sure about spyral in a format without maxx c, but I agree with your general sentiment.

[@stiffeification]

Could go to 3 easy

[@hi123452008]

@@petiteexplication6249 Cat went back to 3 in MD some time ago. It had no effect.

[@mrsquadbot]

The deck has blatant choke points and is terrible going second like your average combo decks, it will absolutely not do anything. Don't know why you want to bring up cockroach when both SHS dominated both MD and OCG at their peak, Adam literally refuses to die and has never leave the tier list until Block Dragon is banned, Dragon Link is the same, Mathmech had its time in MD and is enough of a threat in OCG that Circular got limited

[@donaldlivingston75]

Pretty good fight from PrankKids! They were right there in just about every duel. Snake Eyes's resilience definitely showed in the final game though. Being able to survive the Nibiru and still OTK, while PKids died hard to it.

[@GodzillaFreak]

Ah yes master rule 6 aka sp little knight shows its power

[@Tintaaa]

Great video as always, really fun to watch!

[@wallyonetwo]

Great match! Droll+Veiler+Nib is insanely powerful.

[@ShinerCCC]

Two boneless decks with 14+ handtraps fight!

[@maple1234567890321]

the top 4 will be tears, kash, SE, and unchained?

[@_Sasuke_99]

Finals will be Tear vs K̶a̶s̶h̶ [Shifter + Iblee] 🫠

[@esrohm6460]

to summ up: snake won because it is allowed to do its entire combo without normal summon ,they for no reason also grave effects that are effectively 0 card full card combos and generic cards are more broken. otherwise is the idea behind both decks the same, 1 card combo +infinite handtraps

[@bobisjustlost]

They got cooked

[@maple1234567890321]

ok i was off by 1. I thought it is gonna be a clean 3-0 for SE

[@maxicruz246]

Literal, no hubo tregua aquí, ganó el mejor la verdad.

[@danieldragoti337]

How you don’t use Crossout in prank kids ? No one used droll back then , I used triple copy crossout… would have been a different game with proper deck building

[@sejotejerina3732]

Ycs 1st place list, this is proper deck building lol. Of course deck list are build for specific formats and events. I don't want to be mean but any ycs champion is a better player than any of us in this comment section.

[@danieldragoti337]

@@sejotejerina3732how do you know I’m not a ycs champion ?🤔; crossout back then was mandatory…

[@sejotejerina3732]

@@danieldragoti337 but if the prop player didn't use it and had success then... Lol. What I'm trying to say is we should not question decisions made by the real pro players, we're not that good in this man, just saying. And this is the best version of prankids by the way.

[@surelynotadetective6296]

the last time i enjoyed a format so much was full power zodiac. damn, snake-eyes is so cool. i live this deck.

[@donnelleraeburn9207]

That prank kid decklist should of been running 3 red, 3 blue, 3 green and 2 yellow for the prank kid names, you want to see them in hand badly and for top deck

1st place ycs list tho

[@donnelleraeburn9207]

@@Lithium2300 yeah i can see that but it was first mostly because they drew tcboo 🐐

For real I know they have their own bells and whistles, but every modern deck just feels the same. It's all swarming into unbreakable negate boards + hand traps.

[@kashira-0]

@@StrunDoNhor I mean there are exceptions like Labrynth and Runick, but they're still despised even if you're not using floodgates. Every deck is seen as toxic and annoying by someone

[@TheTrueFool]

I bet you could just hide the deck names/art, just have the year displayed, and if you guessed the more recent deck would win you'd probably be right 80% of the time.

[@ivicapavic3381]

You completely threw the match for Prank Kids with going into that DPE at the end instead of an omni.

[@lucasemanuel5146]

To be fair any negate would meet imperma the same way soo, what's the difference?

[@Latias38]

DPE was the correct play; mainly because he got to use TT to pop 2 backrow and end on another pop for disruption. Plus Celestial draw 2 for followup next turn. He couldnt even go for the omni anyways due to the continous spells, "search then discard," while he had no cards in hand. He was only able to gather a discard for TT by searching Dracoback, using the Token as link material.

[@bdc129]

Bro really think an omni would be better than a free pop every turn + celestial draw 2 for follow-up
