== Playing style ==
"Snake-Eye" is a theme focused around [[Level]] 1 FIRE monsters and [[Special Summon]]ing monsters from the [[Spell & Trap Zone]] treated as [[Continuous Spell Card]]s. The bulk of its monster line-up is made of Level 1 FIRE [[Pyro]] monsters that feature various consistency effects as well as a shared effect to send themselves and another card the player controls to Special Summon a "Snake-Eye" monster from the hand or Deck, excluding that respective card. The boss of the theme is "[[Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon]]", a Level 8 FIRE [[Dragon]] monster able to place any monster on the field or in either [[Graveyard|GY]] on the field as a Continuous Spell Card to its owner's field. On top of this, during the opponent's turn, it is able to take a monster treated as a Continuous Spell and Special Summon it to the field of its controller, leading to passive snatching of the opponent's stronger monsters.
The theme benefits immensely from various Level 1, FIRE, and Pyro support cards, such as "[[Bonfire]]", "[[One for One]]", as well as the wave of "[[Volcanic]]" support from ''[[Duelist Pack: Duelists of Explosion]]''. "[[Kurikara Divincarnate]]", a powerful [[board breaker]], can be easily searched by both "[[Snake-Eye Ash]]" the GY effect of "Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye". For another card that supports the theme well, there is the [[Link Monster|LINK]]-2 monster "[[Flametongue the Blazing Magical Blade]]", which protects the owner's face-up Spells/Traps as well as adding banished FIRE monsters back to the hand.
===Sample combo===
The "Snake-Eye" strategy can get going by simply [[Summon]]ing "[[Snake-Eye Ash]]", whether by [[Normal Summon]] or a card that can [[Special Summon]] it from elsewhere (i.e. "[[Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye]]" or "[[One for One]]").
The below combo focuses on setting up several points of interaction, as well as follow-up plays from "Ash" and "[[Snake-Eye Oak]]" after "[[Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon]]" is sent to the GY. It is capable of playing through "[[Droll & Lock Bird]]", as it would only prevent "[[Snake-Eyes Poplar]]" from searching for a "Snake-Eye" Spell/Trap after "Ash" searches for it.
# Placing "[[I:P Masquerena]]" in the [[Spell & Trap Zone]] with "[[Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon]]" so "Flamberge Dragon" can Special Summon it during the opponent's turn for a Link Summon (usually "[[Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess]]" for monster negates or "[[S:P Little Knight]]" for monster removal).
# "[[Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames]]" in the GY to destroy one of the player's FIRE monsters and one of the opponent's monsters to Special Summon itself after the opponent Summons a monster.
# "[[Amphibious Swarmship Amblowhale]]" can act as both follow-up and removal, which can be triggered by the effect of "Promethean Princess".

===Weaknesses===* Due to the archetype being reliant on using [[Graveyard]] to recur resources and facilitate grind game, anti-GY floodgates such as "[[Necrovalley]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", or "[[Dimension Shifter]]" can stop most of the grind game the deck has to offer.* As the Deck is focused on monster interruption and mostly lacks interaction with [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]] unless using external staples, the deck is ironically weak against [[Chain Burn]] Decks that can easily exploit the Deck's swarming capabilities to deal game-ending damage in a single turn with cards such as "[[Ceasefire]]" or "[[Just Desserts]]".
