The Merry Monarch of Darkness
Magical Musket is one of those weird “who would ever think of this combination?” archetypes they do every once in a while. They’re real-life American West folk heroes crossed with German opera characters.
The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

The other known case of that Kozmo (Oz, but set long long ago in a galaxy far far away). That is two over the span of...7 years? A decade?

I'd argue that Eldlich (Alchemy + El Dorado) and Evil Twin (Vtubers + jewel thieves) are in similar boats

Alchemy and the search for gold isn't that much of a stretch. The only real addition was the zombies.
Huh, Belle Starr used to live in an area I've lived in.

I was thinking in terms of works of fiction (I have to specify works here because I know some smartass is gonna make a crack about Eldlich's inspirations otherwise)

@Morningstar: I forgot to bring it up, but I didn't actually realize the Mirror Force cards formed a circle until I saw a video with them put together! ...And I've already forgotten which video that was. Does that image show up on an actual card as well, or no?
For decks that run garnets, how many (total number of garnet cards in the deck, not just specific garnet names) is usually seen as too many?
I wonder if there will ever be a Trade-In type card for Level 5 monsters. I'd also consider cards that let you Reload them or just special summon them.

Unrelated but kinda surprised to know the dark world archetype monsters are meant as noble demons from this site on the actual tabletop. Considering GX (the show that focuses the most on the duel monster spirit world) depicts them as evil monsters. Brron in particular.

No that was a fan edit. (one that i found on reddit a while back, but I think was created by a Japanese guy that posted it to Twit X, sorry)
Garnets to my understanding will usually be a one-of in most situations; you want as few of them as you can possibly get away with, to minimize the chance to draw them.
If you want to see it, it's not a garnet.
Role Model
I know that. I was asking for decks that run garnet(s), what is the total number of them in a deck that can generally be gotten away with before it's seen as too many? For example, splashing in Dragoon uses at least three main deck garnets.
Is four level 5 "garnets" in a 60 card deck considered too many? They can special summon themselves under specific conditions, and let's say they're in a deck with other monsters that can summon themselves from hand for no cost that can be tribute fuel if necessary.
On a semi-related note, I just tested, and Jigabyte
does not miss the timing if destroyed by Clear New World in Master Duel, despite having a "when" effect. If you try to activate the negated effect of the monster that Clear New World summons, Jigabyte still doesn't miss the timing. Am I misunderstanding how missing the timing works?

So, a thought has occurred to me about the current state of the TCG format... is this the fastest turn around time between Tier Zero formats? In this specific instance, going from Tearlaments format to the current Snake-eyes format.

There's no correct answer here, it's how comfortable you are and how versatile your deck can be; it depends on the nature of the themes and engines and garnets and techs involved. The two critical details for your situation are: (1) the benefit of fat decks is the lower chance of drawing garnets; (2) the more garnets you run, the more likely you are to draw at least one.
A few formats back, we had top-level decks going over 40 cards, to as much as 45, because the decks had just become big piles of engines, running on the principle that even if you drew into one garnet and borked the engine, you would just play the other ones. Here's an example of one that was cooked to 60 by adding in various support techs.
It sounds like you are trying to build a Charmer deck with the Awakening of the Possessed monsters. That deck kind of has other problems, and the Aot Ps can summon from the hand anyway, so you're probably fine running the four of them.
I like talking to friends about stories over food.

We got a 2 hour 40 minute rata special! A pathetic aesthetic on the very vast D/D/D archtype!

Rage of the Abyss sure sounds like Shark support. But on the other hand, we did just get the Armored Xyz stuff, and Nash stuff from the water duelist pack not that long ago.

Abyss could refer to other water themes (Mako.dek, Mermails) but it is just as likely to refer to dark themes instead (in which case it's hard to tell with how common it is)
Mermails aren't an anime deck, so they're unlikely to headline it. My bets would be on Sharks, Bakura, Goodwin/Sergey and Mako.

The Exodia 25th anniversary jumped in front of the expected Zexal deck, so assuming were back on track, it HAS to be zexal. Sharks will usher the year of water to douse the fires of the meta!
Lab will somehow remain meta. Nobody's quite sure how that keeps happening.
It's the new Burning Abyss.
Goku Black
Considering we got redeemed versions of Yubel and Zarc. I assume this will be a redeemed Verison of Nash's ace burning abyss.

What, Magical Muskets? Yeah, I didn't know.
