[@four-en-tee]

I think what i like about the 3v3 format (not the current meta, just the ruleset in general) is that it greatly mitigates luck due to normal distribution (which i guess says a lot about the current advanced format in the OCG/TCG). In a healthy, diverse meta, i figure the importance of the coin flip would be a lot more diminished as well. That's more so just been an issue with the Snake Eye format in general, the top decks right now live or die by winning the coin flip because the consistency and power ceiling in 2024 is just that ridiculous.

They can share 3 cards (which were Maxx C, Ash, Imperm). Otherwise they can use up to the maximum allowed copies of the card across all their decks. Apo is at 3, so they can use 3 Apo across their 6 decks (so they can use 1 Apo in 3 decks for example).
