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.

There is a typo in "tier 1" description. You can still see the description for koa'kis but Koa'kis is no longer in tier 1

Madolches are quite competitive, that's pretty nice. I've seen quite a decent amount of Madolche players at Legend 2 and even Legend 3

Ive only encountered like 4-5 madolche decks but yeah... they are quite competitive and they still have more support coming in the future I believe

Yeah, we still have some Madolche cards not released yet in DL. Putincessouer, Anjelly, and the Xyz monsters (Tiaramisu, Choco Ala Mode, and Glassoufle)

In the latest MCS tournament which applied the new banlist rules, the final was Koa'ki Meiru mirror match. Soon you will see more people playing Skull Meister and Bad Aim in ranked, also Koa'ki haters will start crying because post-banlist Koa'ki is still very strong

Im watching the current meta weekly that was uploaded and there was a mirror match between lavals, also dinos and amazoness made it to the finals. No koa'kis at all lul

Even without them crying, I can see Koa'ki (and Vampire) getting a second hit in the future.

D-Hero, Amazoness, Fur Hire, Spellbook, all are recent meta decks that got hit twice. Spellbook even got hit a second time even though nobody cries about it anymore.

Tier lists don't really work.
Tier lists are kinda decorative tbh... I consider day 17 to be already late in the season. Any skilled played could reach KoG with Hazy Flames by now

Tier lists are just referential, what matters is how you play a deck. No wonder why people made it to the top of tournaments with non-tiered decks such as SSA + GENEX controller

AG and survival tier 1?

ban lists gives space to LAVALS to become meta

no, lavals already made it to kog @DLM

also, dinos are less expensive than the laval deck, so who cares?

wtf is there some kind of hatred against laval or something? really wtf, that deck is strong enough to be kog material. Actually any OTK based deck can reach kog as it's already late in the season

Funny coz the last meta weekly @DLM had quite a decent amount of participants who made it to the finals playing lavals

I dont think koakis are dead
and even if they are, we got dinos

Dinosaurs are likely to survive for the next 4-5 months, so enjoy them while u can because after such time.. another different archetype might become the top tier F2P deck

balance koa'ki.
this build for some reason is more coninstant than my sealed tooms version, perhaps because balance increases your chance to open with diamond/iron core.
it's a good defensive but less aggressive build.
mirror wall better be replaced with a 3rd floodgate or trap stun.
rooklord is a good option in both builds but it didn't work for me.
bad Aim is another good option.

Balance sucks with new ban list fool! I'd play core reniforcement for sure and multiple ice maybe
<< Anonymous(Koaki)

I replaced mirror Wall with core reinforcement, believe me balance koa'ki is way better in terms of consistency, perhaps sealed tooms is the only reason for me to play its build over balance build.
drawing cyclone alone without any core is very rare, even if it happens traps can stall for some turns.
the number of times I opened without a core in sealed tooms/Grit variant is way more than balance

I tried your deck with in ranked, it got me to legend 3 pretty easily
I used 2 core reinforcements instead of mirror wall and a Canadia tho
thanx for sharing ^^
