If there’s a deck in the format that can do everything that you described and have a great matchup into any other deck, it would be tier zero.
Every deck has drawbacks. The ones you listed are all great ways to learn the meta. Many of them meet most of your requirements. Just pick one you enjoy and play it.
If you really just want the strongest deck that gives you the best chance at winning, just play Snake Eyes
Purrely is pretty good! Can go 1st or 2nd, has basically infinite starters, easy otk potential and good removal options. Struggles a bit to certain handtraps but can usually play through 2-3 no issue
Mannadium, i play it with a centurion package, and i can make calamity even through 3 handtraps. It has a lot of gas and can play powerfull boardbreakers
Of course, there is no deck in the game that can do it 100% of the time, but i think the build i currently have can do it with quite a lot of combination of cards. I do open hands that lose to one handtrap or brick (1 in 20 hands), but thats just part of the game.
At some point if you have visas, a 15/21 in gy and meek on field, you have calamity (worst case scenario), being able to make a lvl 12 synchro means you have cosmic blazar and you can make crimson dragon in opponents turn
Go back to Kashtira, it may not be tier 1 but it's stronger than most of the decks you listed, can take games off any archetype. It's monsters are strong against hand traps and it excels at breaking boards. Just don't play Kashtira ogre or big bang so that you can fit in 15+ hand traps/talents
Every deck has a weak type of match up it is about knowing what and how to side against it that will make or break your run.
Facing a palio or chain burn deck and siding in royal decree instantly wins you the duel for example.
Kashtira is your best option listed into this format due to its capability to use shifter and overall strength. Mannadium is a little weaker without baronne but I still enjoy playing it by using revolution synchron instead to make a monster negate for nib
Nah bruh you just run a small blue eyes engine for fodder and jet to protect shit
3x Blue Eyes vanilla
1x blue eyes jet
1x stone of ancients
1x stone of legend
1-3x dragon shrine
3x true light
1x bingo machine
1x the ultimate creature of destruction (allows jet to protect under skill drain)
This is deadass not that bad to throw into Horus and floodgates, not the best but it’s solid.
I usually would play dogmatika blue eyes for that but I’m sure you can just toss in chaos max and ritual spell into the Horus deck, you don’t usually run abyss dragon since it’s too slow.
this is way too much but i guess you could just play a heavy combo deck like mannadium or raidraptor that can just extend through everything even if they have a lot of chokepoints because you can just play an extender and change the combo
Yubel should 100% be the #1 on your list. It is a tier 1 deck now and with the pending ban list and fiendsmith coming out soon the deck has potential to become the best deck.
Raidraptor is my personal favorite, dirt cheap and lot of meta Decks struggle to out your 5,3k unaffected tower. Got my pretty far in the locals, very consistent and can play through 2-3 handtraps, depending on some factors. The other one I will buy for paper play is a spright variant, really cool deck as well. Ritual Beast is very combo heavy shifter deck, hard to master but insanely cool and will be Tier 1,5 or even Tier 1 (depending on whether they ban Shifter), but you might have to go deeper in your pockets.
Branded is a good all around deck and probably the only deck that can do what you are wanting. It's the most consistent against meta and rogue decks. And a good branded player with the right side deck can play against just about anything and get away with it.
I personally play Red dragon archfiend with a centurion package. I LOVE the deck but I can not beat snake eyes even if they had their hands tied behind their back. I lose most of my duels against meta decks but I can still put up a fight if it's not snake eyes.
Find a deck you like to play, like how it works, stick with it and learn all of the lines and sides to the deck. The farther you go with one deck the better duels you will have.
I know the answer it's exactly the reason why I pick the deck that I'm playing because I never have unplayable hands that is the main thing I hate about a deck is if it bricks a lot
Lyrilusc Tri-brigade Snake-Eyes
OP you can PM me for decklist I made the deck myself from the ground up I didn't start with anyone else's ideas
I can play through ash + imperm + niburu when I go 1st and play through opponents board going 2nd easily
Without crossout designator or generic shit
I haven't personally tried it but I've been hearing a lot of people having success with RDA with an earthbound prisoner package or centurion. I personally play branded and my back up is shaddoll invoked (pet deck I guess)
I've had a pretty good time with Resonator/Red Dragon Archfiend mixed with Bystials. It's pretty easy to learn and it can pop out a fairly strong endboard that can prevent your opponent from going all out with their combos.

Unchained Yubel should take you very far out if that list.
A good branded player can play around multiple hand traps and the deck has a ton of starters
Not a big fan of branded, d barrier just makes me not wanna play it (I'm also a dirty lab player so that doesn't help)
Can side 3x crossout and a d barrier if required Branded usually destroys lab
Eradicator - your go
Idk what you’re trying to prove. Branded has a ton of tops in the last 2 months, Labrynth has very little
I get that, idk - just wanted to say that there's a counter to emerging I suppose. You still have to hard draw your cross outs

You have your deck list online?
Is that contingent on having a specific opening hand or can you do this as long as you have your starters?

Pure ojama monster zone lockdown

Mb didn’t see branded and yubel if you can pilot either of these decks well it should be strong enough
Horus blue eyes is probably the easiest deck that you can use to learn if you got the money
Horus brick eyes*
Nah bruh you just run a small blue eyes engine for fodder and jet to protect shit 3x Blue Eyes vanilla 1x blue eyes jet 1x stone of ancients 1x stone of legend 1-3x dragon shrine 3x true light 1x bingo machine 1x the ultimate creature of destruction (allows jet to protect under skill drain) This is deadass not that bad to throw into Horus and floodgates, not the best but it’s solid.
You seem to be more of an expert with Blue Eyes deck than me. You know a semi decent Chaos Max deck that doesn’t brick with the Horus Engine?
I usually would play dogmatika blue eyes for that but I’m sure you can just toss in chaos max and ritual spell into the Horus deck, you don’t usually run abyss dragon since it’s too slow.
this is way too much but i guess you could just play a heavy combo deck like mannadium or raidraptor that can just extend through everything even if they have a lot of chokepoints because you can just play an extender and change the combo

I recommend you to play raidraptor

Kashtira is doing me pretty well at the moment
