NOTES

The GameA Tier List is primarily based on King of Games decks submitted by users and performance in Tournament.

Tier list

Decks in Tier 1 and 2 are ones that are known to have achieved good success against other decks/players.

Meta decks

Meta decks are decks that are often commonly used by players in PvP. Meta decks will often change depending on newer cards or strategies, so we will keep updating this page often to keep everyone informed of newer decks.

Tier 0

Tier 0 decks are decks that completely dominate a meta and you either play the same deck or a deck that completely counters it (but loses to almost any other deck).

There are currently no Tier 0 decks

Tier 1

These decks are very well rounded. They have ways to deal with almost every deck and have very few weaknesses themselves.

Tier 2

Tier 2 decks have a bit more weaknesses than tier 1 decks but your opponent needs to draw them early on.

I am a starter and I am here to ask which deck/pack I should invest on. I currently have 1 Kunai with Chain, 1 Ninjutsu art of Transformation, 1 Gozuki and 1 Mirror Wall (I have BEWD also).

Oh you! Haha I commented on your earlier post. Well I suggest build a farm deck first. Both for farming LD and defeating SD. Sadly there are too many boxes now. Earlier days I invested in Phoenix box and it was well worth it. Staple SRH, competitive Phoenix deck, and swarming naturia deck for auto duel SD (also solve quick victory tasks). Go through each box, choose 1 that catch yr interest

I would go for a Hazy deck. Still strong, even after the 3*DeMo nerf. Sphinx is available at the cardtrader. Support in different mini boxes. With flame tiger in generation next (the only main box I would invest in as a beginner). Can go toe to toe in pvp (with aroma strategy) and can be used as a farm deck.

Do not build CA. Nerfed (mind scan, restart and semi-limited dakini and MAR with the way this game’s limited system works), and it’s also no-skill 🔥. Just memoroze the combos

Phoenix should be tier 1 after the nerfs, I just hit Kog with berserk dragon-phoenix deck with 90% win rate from plat4, all what I faced like GB, AG, dinos, burn, REZD, were almost easy wins for me.

Yeap. The only Phenix counter was CA. I'm sad, because I don't like this deck, even if I have it :P

Hi there,I want to know everything about Tier:
✓How it work?
✓How to build a tier deck?
✓What's the difference between tiers?
Thanks a lot for your replays.

The tier is simply the "rank" of the deck. Tier 1 decks are the strongest while tier 2, 3... are weaker.
Of course this classification changes every time new cards drop or some nerf is applyed.
You can check tier decks on this page and buy the cards of the one you prefer (or you can afford) to build.
Currently some top tier decks are Gladiator Beast, Ancient Gears, Phoenix...

4 wins, 1 loose, 4wins, 1 loose, 4 wins, 3 looses.
Total = 12 wins 5 looses
Fell from leg 3 to leg 2.
Please Konami change the way to be kog, it is sooo frustrating !

To win 5 times in a raw you need that's all.
If there is one powerful deck compared to the others (like CA),everyone gonna use it and win against the same deck as yours is luck.
If there is many different type of deck that are good, then you have a huge probability to play against a deck that counter yours and need luck to wins 5 times.

Completely ineffective against dark tho

I agree completely, it is less luck based as it as forcing you to use the most powerful of the decks available, even if logically you would be able to reach KoG with your current deck, the 5 wins in a row system enforces using top tier decks, therefore forcing people to spend more on packs.

This is so frustrating .. It happens to me lots of times ... Win 4 matches in Legend 3 and when I am about to reach KOG ... Bad starting hand , Opponent with optimum hand , and then You cannot play anything this is happening to me now as I am in Legend 3 .. and this happened to me lots of times last season .. I do not know whether bad luck or the system forces U to lose but it is very 🔥

Thats how the algorythm works. Packs opening, matchup, card drop, skill drop, and even the card shuffle is planned to be a 🔥 fest. They rigged every single thing that revolves around RNG. I know some people dont believe this, but thats what Konami wanted.

Add the fairy card with the flip effect of drawing one card and think about adding mystical balls to help summon winged dragon
