The banlist did exactly what it was supposed to do…sell more product.

I haven't thought of a single ban list as anything other than a vehicle to sell products since 2012. Nobody should be banking on a ban list to end formats anymore. It usually means there is another one to exploit right around the corner.

This is Snake-Eye's 8th consecutive YCS win in the TCG, breaking the previous record of 7 with Tearlaments.

That YCS was such a joke…..more proof the last ban list did nothing to solve the actual problem and actually made it worse. At least we got funny memes like Double Nightmare lock and crossout designator on skill drain.

I still find incredible that even tought there are some really good decks like Voiceless Voice, Tempai, Branded, Melodious, Yubel, etc and yet Snake-Eye still stomps everything. It's time Konami does something, tier 0 is never a good thing.

Linkuriboh died for nothing. 😭

Honestly this is what the game State is when you had a diverse format but had some pro players complaining that they didn't know how to fight against unknown decks! I have no sympathy for any of them because now you got Snake eyes this and Snake eyes that! Enjoy your predictable pie 🥧!!!

The last time I liked Snake Eyes, I was playing Monopoly.

"If not; to Hell with you." Well, alright then. 😢

"Labrynth might be the best deck to take on Snake Eyes." Me, a Labrynth player, beaten and bloodied on the floor after being whooped by SE 0-4 at locals: "Y-yeah... Haah... Don't worry guys... I got this...."

I dont mind powercreep but it is kind of crazy weve gone from spright to tear to kash to this and now it might be fiendsmith next the unchained race meta was perfect its better when multiple decks are good like toss format

You forgot to mention the tinfoil playmat

3 tier zero formats in less than 3 years?

No I don’t like snake eye

I’m just gonna play WATER Xyz once “Rage of the Abyss” comes out.

I don't have any witty or snarky comments to make. I just really really hate Tier 0 formats and I hate how Snake-Eyes requires you to have 4+ hand traps in your opening hand to actually stand a chance.

The bad part is Konami just announced Ash will be in the 2025 tournament packs, which you KNOW they'll make it an ulti. Count that card out being banned for a while longer.

We went from tier 0 to tier 0 to tier 0 wth

Um.... The city that's shown is not Indianapolis... Its Philadelphia. Center City (downtown) to be exact. I'm from Philly and recognized it instantly.

Building and theory crafting snake-eye decks is so much fun and skill intensive. It is so sas to see it break down to hand trap wars... I hope something will be done against it, but I am also very happy that Baronne and co are gone!

I can't wait for Konami to power creep the game and we start calling Snake Eye too low-power and inconsistent for the new meta.

One of the big issues I'm seeing is that outside of labrynth, there's nothing that is eye-opening enough for these top players. HERO, Melodious, Salamangreat, and Branded all have their ability to combat this deck. Unfortunately, this game is a 2-3 turn format where you need to build a board or else you get fucked. INFO is gonna shake up the format definitely with Fiendsmith, Gimmick Puppet, and maybe White Woods. The year of fire might come to a close, but it's at the cost of the format being an FTK format.

I hate snake eyes in masterduel

How is this game still alive? Hasn’t it been “killed” so many times?

Time to start using Barrier Statue if the Torrent

Who would have thought the first time they give fire something it completely blows up everything

I'm not sure what's more annoying. Another Tier 0 deck that laughs at the ban list or that the second best is Lab.

Wait if they dont take care if things fiendsmith snake eyes gonna be even worse

I’m fairly confident we’re getting a mini banlist at the end of the month at the earliest (read: before WCQ). Snake-eyes wrecking most other decks is crazy already - making Fiendsmith legal the day of the event is where I’m like “nah hit the deck.”

Cap G are you working on a yugioh story video? Those are your best and most entertaining videos. Thanks.

I waited for years for Fire to be a good attribute :( this isn’t what I wanted

Why and how did they kinna handle the snake eye problem better in MASTER DUEL?

This is the third tier 0 format in a row. I think if they do one more this game is gonna see some serious decline

I took snake eye to a regional a couple weeks ago and topped after literally one night of practice. Every game felt like I had 10 more cards than my opponent. The deck is too free and needs multiple hits.

Wish they featured more time wizard content. Hoping for another banlist before nats.

I keep seeing people saying Apo/I:P and other strong generic ED monsters should be banned. No it is definitely not the newly released overpowered archetypes which can run 20 HTs, that have 15 one card starters, out of which 10 are extenders and most have a recursion effect, that are the problem. If somebody told me 2 years ago that linkuriboh is a problematic card I would have thought that the person is on drugs. Oh yeah and don't forget to ban all the newly affordable cards.

Though I am happy they went for the ED monsters, I'm pretty sure a lot of players knew SE was still a problem. Just go for Poplar and call it a day, really. It's where it all started, right?

Even though snake eyes isn't as oppressive as other Tier 0 decks were, we absolutely need an emergency banlist - and we needed it yesterday. As you are reading this konami should be already posting it. That is how critical it is.

Seeing Kuriboh in the gy blew me away lol. That person was using the OG handtrap

I have got to be honest I am just playing decks I love, like labyrinth, eldlich, and branded, with friends, and old formats like Yata, Goat, Perfect Circle, YCS Long Beach, and 2016 Monarch PK Fire, and TOSS. The best thing about old formats is that none of the cards are getting banned and once you have a decent card pool you don't need to buy more.

Gotta love the decision making over at komoney

at this point, I wonder should snake eyes get the dragon rulers treatment until it gets power crept / errata

I can't wait for the next banlist where they ban tenpai and voiceless cards

I can’t wait for white woods

Ban every single Snake-Eyes card on sight. Ban every last one of them. Justice for Baronne.

I love smoking snake eye hash

Something I just wanna say is I hate how a lot of people in social media were complaing about SE and stating that Tear was less of a problem. Tear was just as oppressive as SE is to any other non Tear deck, sure there was more interactive gameplay in the mirror matches but it doesnt mean it was any less fun for somebody playing any other deck. I guess what Im trying to say is SE, Tear and tier 0 formats arent fun and comparing which one was less oppressive is like comparing apples and oranges. I hope they just ban some key cards of SE or unban Kash/Tear cards so I stop seeing people complain about SE

imagine hitting sharv to 1 to make sure we get a T0 format

What’s funny is I’ve been not playing too seriously, I played a ton during kash and tear format. However, I’m getting back into it, so I heard all the noise regarding snake eyes. Built it on Edopro just to try it out of curiosity of how powerful it is. No shot bricked hard af on handtraps and lost to the dark magician bot💀. Didn’t draw engine for like 4-5 turns😂

Superheavy Samurai Orcust, really?? Anyone knows where I can see the list, I really need it 🙏✨

When can we get another 3/4 deck format?

Gee... Konami made an extremely overpowered and versatile archetype... What did yall think was gonna happen. This is why they need to go ahead and ban or limit Snake Eye... like now.

I didn’t even turn on the stream not once all weekend since I had a feeling of the outcome and well yeah it was expected. Sometimes we just a major change and think it’s time again

YCS Indy was a blast , i just wish snake eyes wasn't so OP . The only time i lost that match up is due to either them top decking or them going 1st game 3 and i opened no hand traps.

Am just going to play Bakura’s occult deck since more of his cards had been released. Hell I might add a graceful charity and pot of greed because IDC anymore am playing YGO my way. The way I grew up with

All of these tier 0 formats all at once oh my God this game is screwed

I like Fire monsters but I’ve never liked the Snake Eyes. It’s crazy how I know the combo chains despite never playing with the deck.. I think all of the lvl 1 pyro monsters in the deck need to be limited to 2. Bonfire should also be limited to 2.

BAN: • Snake-Eye Ash • Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess • I:P Masquerena • Promethean Princess Limit: • Bonfire • WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils

You should be on Metafy!

I just started master duel after about a 2 year hiatus. I come back to play my heroes... And I'm like wtf is all this?! This game evolved so fast. You can Maxx c someone and they'll pass and then start special summoning hella times on YOUR turn.

Can we start a petition please to make toons relevant and at least half decent in the meta, not asking for much

The way to hit Snake eyes: Put flamberge to 1 So oak does'nt summon the second flamberge from the deck or hand Also i was watching the ycs on Joshua Schmidt's Twitch live with farfa, Joshua Schmidt and everybody from the twich And it was funny seing all the mirror matches and everybody getting tired of Snake eyes 😂

Like we didn't see this coming. Konami thought hitting Baronne and Savage would change things😂.

So does this mean this is another tier 0 format?

Once gimmick puppets come out that will change

There needs to be Emergency banlist but there won't be

I’d argue the decks themselves aren’t bad. It’s the amount of non engine that decides the games.

Snake eyes is just too broken When I can have 2-3 hand traps on turn 1 and two board wipe cards on turn 2 yet they easily come back, you know it’s screwed I just surrender whenever someone plays it in master duel No point in wasting time and giving them satisfaction

Aaaaand thats why im taking a Break and going to play Pokémon.

At this juncture, Konami may need to start making hard locks more of a thing on newer decks they print going forward, especially the more potent decks. I don't mean weak locks like you can't Summon X while Y is on the field (Links invalidate that with their mechanics, as seen with Promethean Princess and Sharvara) or you can only Summon X for the rest of this turn (you can just make a bunch of plays beforehand). But given that they didn't put any meaningful restrictions on the Fiendsmith cards (here's hoping Snake-Eye still isn't at full power when that shows up), I have my doubts they'll do this anytime soon.

only way to extinguish fire is to play ashened/rescueace 😈

I liked this ycs best deck is best deck can’t wait for skill drain limit next 😏 skilled mirror matches are fun toxic mirror matches are bad

Remember that pepe was hit in like 2 weeks while zoo was around for almost a year. Its not a new thing. Emergency lists simply doesn't exist, balance hits doesn't either. Its simply "play that for 2 formats and win, then play another thing".

Every few months there's always some tier zero strat Ether Adamancipator Tearlament Or whatever Yugioh set design also encourages tier zero strats cause each deck is better then the last hence the incentive to buy new cards

I'm sick of snake eyes🙄🙄

yeah, i know they dont really do it like they should, but we're probably gonna see snake eyes get the Banhammer hard next list.

komoney seeing snake eyes T0 before synchro build. Hmmm recently its making synchros, lets ban them. Snake eyes : ok ill just play how i was before we made synchros...

I love snake eye

so the game is p2w irl too

UMR ash though + reprints in the mega tins coming up! you better be prepared for a long ride :D the most hilarious side effect of this however is tearlaments fans come out of the woodwork saying "SEE? this tier 0 format sucks and ishizu tear was a much more skillful format! all hail kitkallos!". like stfu "who makes dweller first" wasn't fun

I dont understand the people saying snake eye cards need to be banned. The issues are: IP, skill drain, princess, and apo. Ban those cards and snake eye is just like any other link spam deck. Anything harder just destroys the deck. What would the hits need to be? Access to ash would need to be less consistent so you need to limit: bonfire, wanted, witch, ash, field spell, and oss. The card is so searchable that as soon as you touch 1 card that searches it, the others become played in more copies in each decklist. Lets say you limit ash, the decks just play 3 oak and a fiendsmith engine to make beatrice to dump the ash so oak can revive. Are we going to ban beatrice and oak too?

they gotta ban promethean princess and im dieing on this hill

"oh you play snakeeyes what a coincidence me too" btw snake eyes ash is getting an ulti reprint so no ban i guess

It's almost like I was right and overpowered advantage engines are more of the issue and hitting generics disproportionately hurts rogue decks or something. Welp, who is ready for people to fool themselves and say The Zombie Vampire is more of a problem than the Horus cards?

Snake Eye Card Game

Sad Tenpai doesn't seem to affect TCG. They really love going first there😢

I just play what i enjoy. Lightsworn Zombies Darklord Skull servant Destiny Board Dark world Machina Heratic Limiting yourself to 1 or 2 decks because they're the best never made sense to me. The only time i remember playing anything remotely good was chaos dragons in 2012.

Tearlaments, Kashtira, and now Snake Eyes. 3 broken archetypes released in a row. If you have game breaking cards like these back-to-back, it will suck the fun out of playing and people will quit the game.

This is how card games die.

If you ban OSS people who build the Wanted package are gonna be mad. What about banning Ash or Oak, would the deck be still the best?

Konami about to ban Crossout Designator xD

People are ignoring the fact that hand traps are the problem because of how many of them there are. There is 3 versions of veiler that just say "negate opponent's monster". Hand traps themsleves aren't inherently a problem but when you can run over 12 of them it just becomes ridiculous. They also arent just there to "help the going 2nd player", they are additional disruptions when you go 1st. Every argument i see to not address the issue of hand traps is the same as i see from people defending maxx "c" but Joshua Schmidt defended hand traps which means its TOTALLY different from maxx "c" defenders.

My problem with hitting ONLY staples from the extra decks is that it hits other decks just as hard and there are always more options. And then what's next? Ban those options until the only options left are functionally vanillas with utility effects? Obviously Snake-Eyes will just go down the list of staples and eventually transition from a combo to a control deck. Once SE is done and over with, a new deck with one boss that's a bit too strong is gonna take over completely as Konami has kinda been building the game around the fact that these generic extra deck staples exist in the first place. The game is broken and Konami has only been applying band-aid fixes and now once one problem is removed, there can and there will be more that come from it.

All the ban list did was make Snake eyes players better by forcing them to stop funneling into Baronne Savage

despite the previous banlist being... not that effective.. im still happy that they started hitting the cards that are way to generic broken cards..

Can I have my Savage now plez

Yes I love it ❤❤❤❤

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg and my arm, even my fingers. The comrades I've lost, the game we lost... It won't stop hurting. It's like they're all still there. You feel it too, don't you? We gotta make them give back our past. To take back everything we lost!

Konami should rigged the game (again) in Blue-Eyes favor like that one accursed time. It will be funny, trust me.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a feature match with Simon where he hasn’t got a slow play warning….seems kinda slimy with the way he plays
