It’s simple : I refuse to drop over a rack for tier 0 compare hands format when other games exist.

gouki and handrip tier 0 was prolly worse, but the fact that were even comparing them at this point should say enough about how bleak tcg looks rn

"It's super sacky, boring, and predictable, pay to win and complex but it's skill-based." So in 2 years the people who like Fiendsmith Snake-Eye will be claiming it was an amazing format and that every deck should have been like Fiendsmith Snake-Eye.

I've spoken to several players who have said that they have zero interest in playing until we get a ban list. This pay to win crap is horrible.

All that money to lose to 30 cent shifter

Sounds to me like there a new generation of card designers in yugioh. Either that or the ceo is babyraging to push the envelope.

Eeh snake eyes came out age of overlord. Poplar was Phantom knightmare, but that just shows you what 1 crazy card with 3 effects can do 😂😂.

Weak yugioh is fun yugioh.

And now we have MORE fuel to the fire that is the new and upcoming Azamina archetype. If the TCG continues to just ignore Snake-Eye, this is just another addition to the Tier 0 pile. And even if Snake-Eye is hit, this archetype can also easily fill in the missing holes.

The only way this format can get worse is if someone figured out a consistent ftk with either snake eyes or yubel. Like pendulum in 2018

Praying for everyone going to nats cause the bs yall about to go through is unreal

If they breathe, negate it.

This format will be looked upon as one of the darkest days of Yu-Gi-Oh, but we as a playerbase will get through it. We have to...

Can we get a Perfect Ban List video soon? Please!

i remember the look on a snake-eyes fiendsmith player when I ended on a 6 material unoutable Arrival @ignister and a 5400 access code after extending threw their whole board. just pure devastation on their face. Non-official match unfortunately, but still fun.

when did kash dethrone tear ? they made them to stop tear but still couldnt do it nor reach tier 0

Where getting even closer q mass wipe of players like what happened after master rule 4 came out

They need to come up with a new mechanic that chills out the game drastically, because clearly the cards themselves are incapable of doing so. That's so bad

i mean, there are good board breakers, but the best is Metaltronus by a wide margin.

They’re gonna ban feindsmith requiem at some point. That’s what happens when Konami prints a stupid busted link 1 Edit: moon of the closed heaven might be banned at some point as well

Maybe the strategy is a new era of yugioh where everything becomes OP and the keep retraining and supporting decks until literally everything can be played. Long con. And way more money.

3 tier zero formats in a row. I’m happy with this.

I've found it isn't hand traps that annoy me so much as everyone playing the exact same ones, including some obnoxious turn ending junk like Shifter/Droll/Draw on Summon effects, and even Ash or imperm sometimes do enough just because of all the variance involved with people running so many of them at a time just to "survive going second". The fact that generic hand traps are crossout bait should be enough to discourage the TCG from running "expected" ones as often, but the problem is they need to use the card to cover against the ones they're most vulnerable to, which means they have to run a bunch of "filler" hand traps anyway. Might as well put Gamma, Called By and Magical Mid-Breaker Field to 3 at this point and unban Red Reboot, it's basically the same level of ridiculous either way.

I predict holding a large tournament right after INFO release will blow up in Konamis face as in everyone taking fiendsmith with them and tons of ppl trying to take advantage of the Fiendsmith cards being new and cheating the whole time.

One good thing about all this powercreep: Blue-Eyes support getting released now might make the deck less of a meme. Maybe.

I totally hate the current format and tbh i would loved to have a new ban list one month ago... Other than snake-eyes/yubel i kinda expect runic stun decks to appear , low cost and synchro zone plus skill drain is a problem.

Just free AriseHeart,Master Piece,Drident,Broad Bull and Kitkallos🌊🧜🏼‍♀️

A lot of the hand traps needs to banned or limited, same for board breakers as they have both ruined Yu-Gi-Oh

There is a german youtuber who said that in 17 matches he played against 4-5 SE decks in recent times, we pray that FSSE has the same ratio

We need a continuous spell version of Mind drain.

Boo snake eye but fiend smith looks insane I really wish yugioh could make the game more diverse meta is when the game is at its best

Shifter players! We need you now more than ever!

Are these decks any worse than full-powered Tearlaments (Tear-Shizu)? Or would Tears still be dominant against these Decks?

Personally make all hand trap’s limited to 1

Now I just play turn zero Deep Beyond on top of all hand trap.

This format is like ooh look a fun flip deck oh wait it's too slow and hard loses to mulchumy. Konami why 🤡

Hand traps wouldn’t be as degenerate as they were if Konami just gave decks more means of playing around. Centurion sort of can to a degree to the point I kind of feel it was nerfed last minute before release.

So what you're saying is that this new Blue-Eyes structure deck is absolutely fucked unless the next four cards yet to be revealed are absolutely bonkers

Tear was worse, but the game was a little bit more accessible. I'm simply tired of 1 card combos that can afford to shove 15 handtraps into their deck and be basically immune to response. The game is becoming way too unhealthy

What will happen to snake eye fiendsmith after the banlist?

Imo you have to be an npc to play this game competitively

These are the type of formats that makes me glad I have other card games to play. I like playing Tenpai at locals when the try hard isn't there. Other than that this format and honestly this game feels dead.

This is why we need a draft format.

Right now yugioh isn't gonna be fun it's gonna be hoping n praying the opponent bricks just so you have a chance. The price tag is crazy the game play is crazy the weak prizes are crazy. But hey we love yugioh we gonna be playing it. This season will be interesting

Would resolving Dreaming Nemleria be good enough as a board breaker (the idea is Pendulum Treasaure + Eater of Millions)

This kind of stuff is why I fumble around with custom cards on Duelingbook. If the game's gonna be dumb, I want it to be funny dumb.

how to fix it tearlaments full power its way more fun than snake eyes

I think yacine is telling us to play runic stun at nats :D

It won’t get any different yugioh is just going get more harder and worse we just have to adapt to it soon enough going be lots of decks like this it just sucks because if you go 2nd you basically lose unless you’re opponent bricks

This current meta makes you appreciate the simplicity of the floowandereeze strategy. It’s actually crazy to think floowandereeze is rouge. 😂

Its crazy that once SE gets hit, yubel will be best deck by far and ppl wanna play too many handtraps these days just to stop everyone cuz they play a deck with lots of starters... need a master rule to bring the handtraps down to like 9 and Konami needs to stop making 1 card combo decks and start slowing down the game with 2 card combo decks while stop making genric as hell cards that get thrown into everyones deck

They need to stop making generic ass link monsters.

snek eye became to me as hated deck as tear, both must burn in hell and also fiendsmith like brave engine, just ban requiem

Worse than Chaos AND Kashtira!?

What about unchained fiendsmith ???

Screw it, konami limits every card in the game to 1 😂

This one.

guys, we await for you in vanguard! 😂😂😂

The worst tier 0 yet 🤡

Tcg has been pay to win since mechanical chaser 😂

thinks about dragon rulers for 2 seconds. "yeah you're wrong"

lets let the format play out before we judge it

Droll + any 2 hand trap they do nothing. (I play pure snake eye lmao)

It’s the end of Yugioh, oh wait that was with PePe, then Tearlaments and now Snake-Eyes, yeah this game is eternal.

Just unban kit

there needs to be a format that adds a rule where a player can only negate effects once per turn. That would stop 15 hand traps in every deck, the game wouldn't be about "go first and set up 10+ negates" and decks that aren't top 3 will have some viability.

Runick Stun is the key against these decks.

Handtrap .deck ft. a miscellaneous splashable engine? You mean Invoked?

Just draw phase dimension shifter and you're good to go, so easy.
