Fire King
The version proposed today doesn’t offer any significant changes.
Fire King Sky Burn and the second copy of Fire King Island seem to be the general trend in OCG, along with Garunix Eternity, Hyang of the Fire Kings in the extra deck.
We notice the absence of Droll & Lock Bird in the main deck due to an increasing number of Snake-Eyes Decks dominating the top tables in recent events.
The Delta/Gamma package in the side deck seems to be the most suitable response to Crossout Designator/Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent, which are the most popular answers to a meta that focuses on Hand-Traps.
This week’s updates:
Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit is a great card to side against Voiceless Voice for Barrier of the Voiceless Voice. Also, it’s an interesting hand-trap at the moment because of its interaction against Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess, and Divine Temple of the Snake-Eye, which is decent as a turn draw when going second.
Snake-Eyes
Voiceless Voice
The presented list shows minimal changes compared to previous weeks. There are now 2 Pre-Preparation of Rites and the absence of Droll & Lock Bird. An interesting addition is the main deck inclusion of Bystial Magnamhut, mainly used to add Saffira, Dragon Queen of the Voiceless Voice and to banish I:P Masquerena against Snake-Eyes.
The presence of multiple copies of a card in the Extra Deck is due to Pot of Extravagance. However, this week, we see the addition of Secure Gardna, which was missing in previous weeks, for its combo with Blessing of the Voiceless Voice (read it here).
Tenpai Dragon
The tournament of the week is won by Tenpai Dragon, who clinches the RAM Festival Tournament 2024-02-11 – Japan – with 127 Duelists.
The list features some notable innovations, especially in the main deck. The addition of the Rokket package allows the deck to establish a resilient board when going first, with Borrelend Dragon being particularly challenging to deal with, especially for Snake-Eye decks that are currently omitting Super Starslayer TY-PHON – Sky Crisis.
The combo proposed by the deck is only possible in the OCG using just one Tenpai Dragon Baidora or a way to access it due to the presence of two Striker Dragons.

Kaiser Colosseum proves to be very oppressive when going first because it makes it nearly impossible to effectively deal with Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Sphere.
The addition of Burning Draw to the side deck in a deck that maximizes its potential when going second with board breakers seems to be particularly effective, especially against endboards containing Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess. Furthermore, the restriction that allows only Fire monsters to be summoned after its activation does not hinder the deck’s strategy at all, as it relies entirely on Fire monsters for its OTK strategy.
