Spoiler Shield 🛡️

[@MiscGaming08]

The length of the video is all the spoilers you need

[@maskedduelist1380]

Was hoping there wasn't going to be any spoilers, until I realized it was a six-minute Snake-eye match.

[@gengstar09]

I wonder which is the Strongest SE -Pure with Savage/Borrel -FS with Beat/Apo -SE FS AZ 🤔

[@anbu_fear8901]

Pure with savage

[@andrejv.2834]

@@gengstar09 FS with apo is by far the strongest version This version is insane too but it's much weaker against hand traps and less consistent, as the fs engine and snake eye diabellstar are insane starters/extenders The only thing the synchro version is better against are board breakers as FS doesn't play hope harbinger, but most decks that aren't called tenpai or sky striker can't jam in 10 board breakers and still be consistent so that's not really much of an issue

[@jimtsap04]

Ocg version of snake eye before newest banlist is by far the strongest with fs, beato, apo, azamina

[@Luna_is_gaming]

Proving once again that Snake-eyes is the best 1 card combo deck 💀💀💀

[@rayronnyd4659]

Yup. Gets to run all the hand traps because it has multiple ways to start with one card.

I don't even like Swordsoul, but i can't explain the rage i felt by watching Snake Eyes just have everything under the sun

[@bhunt919]

To be fair this version of swordsoul shouldn't have even been in the tournament at all.

[@garychan2404]

This match is a prime example of powercreep. Swordsoul, who won the 2022 CBC, was oumatched and got destroyed by a much stronger deck.

[@andrejv.2834]

Tbf this is a much weaker swoso variant, but even the baronne/protos/halqdon lists would be fighting a huge uphill battle

[@ianokan9120]

If this isnt a couphing baby vs nuclear bomb situation im gonna be suprised

[@amethonys2798]

The only real reason SwoSo was as "dominant" as it was is because decks at the time couldn't run as much non-engine. The deck was ALWAYS fragile on the normal summon, but could usually play through one hand trap. The deck cannot play through 2 or more when cards like Taia are gigantic choke points where Imperm can potentially outright skip your turn.

[@GodzillaFreak]

It was also in a zero follow up format where it didn't need to justify its complete lack of followup

[@mcmisterhd1920]

Yeah same thing with purrely, it was nice when decks with a lot non engine slots and small 1.5 card combos existed (I guess we do have centurion now which is maybe rogue post support). Now thats no longer a selling point but a requirement to have (much stronger) 1 card combos, often not even 1.5 as before, and 20 HTs

[@GodzillaFreak]

[@mcmisterhd1920]

@@GodzillaFreak Pak went 10-0 in swiss and got top 16 last YCS... but yeah its not tier 1 or anything, just another rogue deck that needs a good pilot to top

[@GodzillaFreak]

@@mcmisterhd1920 I’m convinced people just don’t know how to beat it. Sunavalob effect

[@lhv2k]

Lol imagine playing a Mystic Mine deck and never able to draw and use Mystic Mine a single time in all 3 games, this is basically pure Swordsoul vs SE, so the result is obvious

[@lmr4403]

6 minutes video: surely it is Swordsoul that wins 3-0.....

[@maxicruz246]

Sworsoul es el mazo que más 3-0 ha logrado desde que se se unió a la CBC.

[@stevenashley27]

The hands from Snake Eyes were INSANE this video

[@donaldlivingston75]

Wow. Pretty damn impressive from Snake Eyes there. They really are the best deck of all time at least when it comes to conventional card design. Tearlament is just simply a different beast altogether that broke most established rules on what you're allowed to do. Next matchup is always a good one! Chaos vs Undead. Likely going to be super close, but gotta give it to chaos.

[@N12015]

I'm amazed on how broken mystic mine was... Jokes aside, Snake eyes' main strenght is how much non-engine they can pack while still mantaining consistency. This also shows how overrated most floodgate backro is. I mean, they did next to nothing in this match, because they're meta-dependant, frailer to beat than they seem, restrict less than you would expect (but also interact annoyingly with rules) and are very inconsistent because they're not material for any combo. Ironically FLAMBERGE was the most effective floodgate and is just disruption who turned into a floodgate by coincidence. Meanwhile Handtraps are more consistent and can just disrupt any combo, while 1-card combos like snake-eyes can easily run lots of disruption while also playing efficiently through them, and are the true issue alongside the price.

[@RoryWilliamson]

It was always going to be tilted in snake eyes favour, but drawing the perfect going 2nd cards then top decking ash in that last game was just bullying

[@victikirby15]

I’m admittedly not the biggest fan of Swordsoul, but this just felt mean

[@stiffeification]

this was more than obvious

Didn’t even have protos to try and grime a win out, there was no hope lmao

[@GodzillaFreak]

Swordsouls can't even break the zero interruption snake-eye board with how low the ceiling is

[@georgewilliams8492]

Yea flamberge gotta go bruh that was some Bs putting baronne in the S/T zone

[@idkdontask7142]

Hand traps sure are good cards huh

[@maxicruz246]

Le pagó con la misma moneda. Literalmente.

[@daggerofstyxx1387]

I’m a firm believer that honestly to kill snake eyes you need to ban the field spell if does som much for the deck

[@PhuckedUpPhilosophy]

That wouldn’t do enough, I think the fire king version doesn’t even play that field spell.

[@fabioferrari7475]

Yeah sure man, on the other hand flamberge Is ok 😂

[@daggerofstyxx1387]

@@PhuckedUpPhilosophy well the pure version and the white wood version would lose a lot of consistency and power with that card gone plus it’s not in The fire king version cause it’s not need plus fire king pure is better in every way now

[@daggerofstyxx1387]

@@fabioferrari7475 well flamberge would be harder to bring out if you got rid of the field spell plus it would matter if you use its effect on i:p to put it in the backrow or another card so if you got rid of the field spell it would actually make flamberge a choke point for the i:p combo didn’t really think about this did ya bud

[@PhuckedUpPhilosophy]

@@daggerofstyxx1387 pure fire king is NOT better than azamina snake eye fire king. Don’t know where you got that idea. Check the YCS results we just got today, not a single pure fire king list topped but multiple snake eye azamina fire king lists did.

Sheesh

[@xatuyou8045]

Why were we playing swordsoul without protos to begin with?

[@sejotejerina3732]

Now you notice it's a different list? XD anyway, how do you declare fire with Protos? How do you bait so many disruptions? The engine is just the same with ot without Protos, so it doesn't make any difference in the end. Also, I think we all know which deck is gonna win the entire tournament so yup.

@@xatuyou8045 MMM you don't have any argument so you reply with irony lol. Anyway, exodia is not unbeatable, if you look at its results (3-2,3-2,30) you can see the deck almost loses the first two matches lol. But whatever. Swordsoul tenyi has been power crept. That's the point here 😂😂😂.
