Okay, you want to know what is fun about all the mentions you gave for stuff that can "deal" with Joe...

All of them are either easily dealt with OR they have not even been out yet to give a complete look at how they fare against Shades.

Bal Saucer - Gets cuked by Joe

New Azi - Doesnt have Penetrate and can easily be cuked if they dont deal with Joe instantly, but due to the lack of Counter Destruction and good enough soul hate in Zwei, they cant really do anything to stop the shade.

Balle Soleil - Its just a Double Attacker and it even loses its ability of damage reduction as soon as that fragile little Soul is gone. And it can easily be stopped by Malicious Selector CounterAttack and much more. Balle Soleil is not a super good card. Its actually really simple and doesnt do a lot either.

Abygale LDV - Joe gets destroyed by this, yes, but due to the Counter timing of his ability: Abygale gets destroyed too, before the ability aactivates.

Zetta.dek is maybe the only one that really stops it. But Shadow Shades have access to Magical Glue to remove Zetta from the field. Easy as pie.

And that are just a few examples including Joe and one spell. Shadow Shades have much more than that at their disposal. Also: Using Bal Saucer as an arguement is dumb. We all know how easily that card is to counter, ESPECIALLY for Magic World.

In regards to Fifth Omni: Yes, one card does not make a deck. Thats not what I said. I said that Merak SD pushed FO to the top tiers. And that is because Merak SD just has such a good synergy with the deck that it makes it so much more destructive. One card can have the ability to make a deck ten times as powerful, depending on what it does. Examples includes Jackknife SD, Hasted Yamigedo, etc.

I will say it again: Good cards = Better than getting a lot of cards
