Fire Kings

Joshua Curiano went top 15 while Patrick Burton went top 14 on Black Luster Soldier (Normal Monster) Event Philippines while both using Fire King Snake-Eyes.
Curiano and Burton are both active players in their communities, with Joshua on Kai and GAPO, and Patrick on ODA. Both players are using nearly identical builds, but Curiano decided to run 1 Fire King Island and 2 of Droll and Lock Bird on the main deck.

What separates Fire King Snake-Eyes from pure Snake Eyes is the Fire King's ability to provide intensive turn 0 disruptions with the help of Fire King High Avatar Kirin. furthermore, the kit of Fire King is rather simple but deadly and can set up an instant monster negate via Arvata when the timing is perfect. In addition, the utilization of Bonfire in the main deck significantly boosts the overall firepower of the deck by providing additional consistency, combined with several hand traps that are crucial to stopping opponents from their organized play. Fire Kings continue to dominate the whole PH meta from the first time it was released in 2023, in its revamped structure deck.

Snake - Eyes

Martin Owen Calleja went Top 2 on the recently concluded Black Luster Soldier (Normal Monster) Event using his pure variant of Snake-Eyes, which continues to provide him adequate power and support despite the extreme popularity of Fire King in the current metagame. 

It can consistently put up a respectable endboard, create a great deal of advantage, and have a robust resource loop over an extended game. Points of interaction commonly consist of the following end boards: I:P in own back row, ready to be summoned by field spell or flamberge; Princess in GY, with fire (Amblowhale) on board for a pop; and one or two non-engine interruptions, like as hand traps, called by, etc. Because the sites of interaction are distributed throughout the hand, back row, monsters, and GY, this board is surprisingly difficult to break. In addition, you usually reload your resources for subsequent turns (for example, summoning two level 1s back with Flamberge to GY, which grants you one or two more searches for the next turn).

Tenpai Dragons

Angelo James went 6-0 on ODA (Order of Duelists in Albay) Battle Fiesta 2024, with Tenpai Dragons. Aside from this, he also won the following week with the same deck, even against a mirror match-up during finals with Stephen Uy Tan. He opts to focus on consistency build to maximize the chance of getting a good starting hand and made sure to contemplate against the deck's main weakness on long games. The main build mainly focuses on ending the game at Turn 2, so he made sure to main as many go-second breakers as much as possible, without affecting the go-first setup. He also included 2 Nibirus on the deck to ensure that he can have a counterplay against most meta decks such as Fire King and Snake Eyes, and 2 Drolls to assure victory against Voiceless Voice. In addition, Changed of Heart had a significant advantage on mirror match-up, since when the opponent sets up the level 10 synchro, it can be stolen and used as his own.

Tenpai Dragons, despite being fresh in the current metagame, with its abrupt power and performance, continue to slowly gain popularity among communities already dominated by Snake-Eyes and Fire Kings. 

Voiceless Voice

Kenth Catacutan and Matthew Libo-On previously went as Champions on Unity Cup 2024 (February 3, 2024) and Weekly Ranking from Cebu (January 27, 2024), with the same deck, Voiceless Voice. However, Kenth previously had optimized his build and went for the Dogmatika-Nadir engine to combat the deck's problem of interruptions and going second. This is apart from the popular HT (hand trap) build, from which the deck is played being utilized by previous contenders of BLS, such as those of builds of Aaron Joshua Balboa (Top 11).

The idea behind his Nadir Engine, however, is to dump Garura to the grave and search Dogmatika Maximus, then summon Maximus after resolving Garura's trigger to draw and banish it. Upon summon, he will instead send Granguignol the Dusk Dragon to the grave along with another monster from the extra deck, completing the combo. Guignol has a special quick effect in the grave that special summons Despian Luluwalilith from Extra Deck with an additional non-targeting negate and permanent 500 boosts on all monsters once per turn when a monster from the Extra Deck leaves.
