Notes & Combos

I used this deck both for Master 1 climb as well as March DC Cup 24. I got 29.3k points and rank 793.

The main idea behind this deck is that snake-eyes has many 1-card combos but they are fragile to both hand-traps such as veiler/imperm or floodgates such as d-shifter/difi to name a few. You basically can't play under those circumstances. To counter that, I used labrynth techs which has built in destruction effects. In one game, I was able to pop difi three times using Lovely's effects.

The best thing is big-welcome doesn't lock you at all compared to welcome. So this list doesn't play welcome at all.

The card that essentially bridges the two archetypes is Thrust. Given the hand-trap meta, you are very very likely to get maxx c/ashed/veiler/nibbed etc on your turn. Then, you can use thrust to set a big-welcome or daruma (if you already have big-welcome)and you have a great followup.

There are some very neat interactions between the two:

  1. If you are going second, you can set big welcome using one of the furniture cards during turn 1 (usually end-phase). Then in your turn, if your snake-ash gets impermed/veiler you can use big-welcome to dodge it + get a non-targeting destruction.
  2. If your opponent sets up difi or uses d-shifter, you can quick effect set using the furniture cards, and unless they are able to take care of your set card, you will have decent followup next turn.
  3. Poplar and big-welcome have a great interaction, since if you bounce back poplar, it can re-summon itself as the effect states that it is added to hand (not necessarily from the deck).
  4. You can also recycle your nib with big-welcome.
  5. The best part of the deck though is that it is 60c. Very often, I get access to grass and when it does, it is basically game over. The rollback interaction with big-welcome, daruma, and silvera is cracked. I haven't lost a single game during dc cup if I was able to resolve grass. At times, you can also grab one-for-one but that is rare since grass is almost always the more powerful card.
  6. During your opponent turn 1, if you have furniture + diabelstar, you can discard diabelstar using the furniture to set a card. Then, diabelstar effect activates and you can send another card to set silvera. So Turn 0, you have a set big-welcome + omni-negate in silvera.
  7. Since silvera works even if diabelstar is in your hand, it works very well with big-welcome too.
  8. The labrynth cards are also excellent baits.
