The BEST going 2nd Variant! - SNAKE-EYES SKY STRIKER | YuGiOh! Master Duel - Duelist Cup

Although, I wouldn't dare call this a Snake Eyes Sky Striker variant even though we've included 8 Striker cards, but the algorithm loves it. However, without many handtraps (just triple Ash B., as it is a fire monster - staying within the fire theme) and more board breakers we'll take on the Duelist Cup of Mar '24. So sit back, relax and join us!

With Snake-Eyes being added in the penultimate box, it has taken Master Duel by storm. People tend to play either a handtrap ridden version going either for pure links or incorporate some synchrons into the build. However, in March I noticed builds with some Striker cards popping up, even topping some WCQ's, showing its battle prowess. I am not sure if the original idea came from ‪@JoshuaSchmidtYGO‬ (unsure about the timeline), but he definitely popularized this build for the main stream.
In my opinion, this more board breaker centric style of play is more challenging and more fun to play than the handtrap version, and I would consider it slightly weaker on turn 1 but slightly stronger on turn 2 than most current builds. Nevertheless, it is Snake-Eyes, so it is going to be powerful anyway.

Rank? And where the Handtraps?

[@cognitivegrub0]

This was the Duelist Cup, so I am not sure, but I believe ranking up to rank 15. This variant does not play handtraps (in a later version we replace the 3 Ash's by 3 Bonfire's) but more board breakers and just extension as been theorized by Master Duel World Champion Joshua Schmidt. From what I've experienced, you are slightly weaker when going first, but often perform better when forced going second. The Sky Striker engine is able to already to put monsters on board and can even get Linkuriboh into rotation to let Snake-Eye Ash dodge Imperms/Veilers. The engine itself is relatively small and doesn't really come up that often though. Is it better than the hand trap version, probably not. Is it more fun, I think so.

Bruh.. how do u make an entire video on snake eye SKY STRIKER and make ZERO sky striker plays?? 💀🤦

[@cognitivegrub0]

You haven't read the description, have you? This build has been dubbed by the community as a Sky Striker variant, which I disagree with, mainly because of the reason you just gave, they do not come up that often. However they have their benefit when they do (especially the Engage and Hornet Drones). I simply tested this build (again, did not name it) to show how it plays.
