@ stiffeification 65% being the threshold for tier 0 has been the standard since as far back as around 2010 looking at old Pojo forum posts. The people who call it >50% or any other number are wrong, since that’s the precedent that’s been set for over a decade now. Yes the percentage is arbitrary. No different than how percentages translating to letter grades are arbitrary. 65% has just been the community-agreed-upon threshold that denotes a deck so overwhelmingly strong that it’s realistically only losing games against itself. Most tier 0 formats have also well exceeded that 65% threshold, with decks like Spyral and Tear routinely taking up around 90% and Zoo taking up literally 100% of top cut spots at some events. Pure SE from last format is one of the worse performing tier 0 decks, barely even qualifying pre-ban list. Point is, tier 0 does have a clear definition and has had a clear definition for well over a decade. The only way SE qualifies as tier 0 currently is if you lump every deck that splashes the SE cards under the same umbrella, which isn’t what we did with Zoodiac after the Fusion Sub combo got hit when it became a splash in half a dozen other strategies. Fire King SE, Salamangreat SE, and pure SE all play completely differently. They’re not the same deck.

The answer is "yes", its just that there's finally a somewhat budget meta deck in the room now in the form of Tenpai and Melodious (and i guess stun, but floodgate.dek is always strong if people aren't preparing for it to some extent; bringing it up seems kinda pointless, that type of deck is always going to see some level of success because its inherrently anti-meta).

In regards to Boardbreakers, Evenly Matched sounds like a card that would be the boardbreaker to max out on against Snake-Eye. Promethean and I:P in the S/T zone don't matter when your opponent is forced to banish all but one card face-down. Is Evenly not a popular sideboard option?
@ct1296
2 ай бұрын
You’re giving up your battle phase, and the opponent gets to keep Flamberge on board with Princess in grave (+ handtraps, usually 2+). The moment you special summon, they get a Princess pop which searches Ash + OSS with the Flamberge floating effect. You now need to make a board through that pop + the handtraps capable of contesting the opponents starter + extender next turn (a next turn they are guaranteed to have due to Evenly) - and there aren’t many decks capable of doing that. You need Evenly + 1-2 other cards for it to be impactful; at that point, it’s no different to needing multiple handtraps. You’re better off playing the cards that increase the strength of your turn 1 board and give you a chance of OTKing turn 2, rather than a card that is dead going first and still needs to be drawn as part of a strong hand to have the desired effect going second.
@andrewnguyen4801

No battle phase. They still have their full GY and hand (flamberge/princess) + handtraps. They just need to play a 1 card starter now that you've used everything and they rebuild again but with a battle phase while you gave up yours. Snake- eye is much more probalamatic than just their board.

Evenly matched is one of these cards that might sound broken, almost unfair in theory, but in practice it rarely is enough by itself. Decks have a lot of layers and follow up these days, and the opponent decides what to keep, so is very hard for them to make a wrong decision.

39:30 Is it not almost always correct to just hit the first thing? Sure, Ashing Aluber is stupid but Veilering or spot removing a Normal Summon has good chances to end a turn, doesn't it? What is correct against Snake-Eyes now seems correct most of the time. Even if they have an answer (such as Heavenly Dragon Circle on Moye) you deprive them of more options if you use the handtrap sooner than if you used it later, usually.

I think I lose about 90 percent of my lab match ups and thats even with prime hands. For me? Snake Eyes dies to Drowning MF sometimes Spell shattering Arrow (its a fun AND effective card for VS) Retaliating C can actually kill them straight off the bat, Id say about 30 percent of Snake eyes players scoop once they realise rhey need to banish poplar to get rid of my retaliating C. Chain Strike is deceptively strong in VS because you alone can easily make the chains fairly high. Swordsoul cards, Good synergy with Jialong 👍 Snake Eyes aint shit.
