Fire King
The TCG Fire King deck shares many similarities with the early weeks of the OCG Fire King deck.
It features a small package of Fire Kings, with each being played as a single copy except for Fire King High Avatar Kirin, which is included at three copies.
Additionally, the main deck incorporates an additional target for Legendary Fire King Ponix, in the form of Circle of the Fire Kings, replacing Fire King Sky Burn, which is more common in the control-oriented OCG meta.
The main deck features 15 flex spots, accommodating popular hand traps such as Nibiru, the Primal Being, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Effect Veiler, and Infinite Impermanence.
The remaining three flex spots, currently filled by two Triple Tactics Talent and one Called by the Grave, may be rotated with Droll & Lock Bird or Cosmic Cyclone depending on the event and player meta-calls.
In the main deck, there are not only three Diabellstar the Black Witch but also a tech exclusive to the TCG meta at the moment: Divine Temple of the Snake-Eye.
For more information on this tech, refer to the spicy deck tech article linked here.
The extra deck follows a cookie-cutter structure with a variation due to Divine Temple of the Snake-Eye, adding Knightmare Unicorn.
Regarding the side deck, there are no notable new approaches in a less defined meta, resulting in a more generic setup.
Droll is included for the Fire King matchup, while Belle is for countering Branded Despia and Voiceless Voice.
Sinful Spoils of Subversion – Snake-Eye is used against various Rogue and Anti-Meta decks such as Floowndereeze.
Lightning Storm and Cosmic Cyclone are crucial in this meta, especially when going second, providing immediate outs to cards like Anti-Spell Fragrance, Summon Limit, or an opponent’s I.P. in the S/T zone.
Currently, Anti-Spell and Summon Limit are the most commonly used floodgates for decisively hindering the opponent when going first, minimizing their gameplay interactions.
Snake-Eye
The Snake-Eye list proposed this week adds a twist to the version we’re accustomed to seeing.
In a meta without Maxx “C”, Magicians’ Souls finds its place in 3 copies within this main deck to enhance accessibility to Diabellstar the Black Witch by linking monsters into Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians, reviving her from the graveyard, and setting Original Sinful Spoils – Snake-Eye, which enables Synchro plays thanks to Jet Synchron.
Interestingly, Snake-Eye Birch is absent and replaced by a copy of Kurikara Divincarnate, intended as a going second extender that aids in pushing through boards.
The proposed flex spots include the classic 12.
Nibiru, the Primal Being, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Effect Veiler, and Infinite Impermanence, along with the addition of 3 Triple Tactics Talent and a single Called by the Grave.
As for the side deck, Magical Spring emerges as a tech of the format, allowing you to draw cards equal to the number of face-up Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls, then discard cards equal to the number of face-up Spell/Trap Cards you control.
Its approach is intriguing within a format dominated by the Snake-Eye engine, which places various face-up cards in the S/T zone.
Winner of Pocking WCQ Regional (147 players) piloted by Daniel Hartmann:
Voiceless Voice
Straight from Phantom Nightmare, Voiceless Voice revolves around Ritual Summoning “Skull Guardian, Protector of the Voiceless Voice” with a unique ATK boost when “Lo, the Prayers of the Voiceless Voice” is on the field or GY.
Novox offers flexibility, enabling the player to play archetype-specific Continuous Spell/Trap cards and access other powerful Ritual Monsters.
Barrier of the Voiceless Voice protects LIGHT monsters and redirects attacks, while Radiance of the Voiceless Voice adds or Special Summons monsters directly from the Deck/ or targets cards controlled by the opponent, up to the number of LIGHT Ritual Monsters (Warrior or Dragon) the controller of the effect controls.
It destroys both the card with this effect and as many of the targeted cards as possible.
The archetype synergizes with “Saffira, Queen of Dragons” and “Sauravis, Dragon Sage of the Voiceless Voice”.
The List showcased prefers the Diviner of the Herald / Trias Hierarchia package over Nadir Servant / Dogmatika Maximus.
Diviner sends Trias Hierarchia to the graveyard, then tributes it using its effect, triggering Herald’s effect to summon Lo, the Prayers of the Voiceless Voice from the deck.
The cards in the extra deck, except for Dyna Mondo and S:P Little Knight, are not frequently used, allowing the deck flexibility to add cards that may prove useful in diverse situations, such as Chaos Angel and Relinquished Anima.
