Deck tier list [Post-Banlist Prediction]

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.

NO DECK DIES in this game, this is something people really FAIL to understand. There are people who reach king of games rank with Cyber Angels and that deck is soooo old, 2017 actually. If you don't believe it just go to the king of games section. Same goes for Hazy Flames, ninjas, damn even gravekeepers. On the other hand there are quite a bunch who vent BS whenever a deck is listed as KOG (they don't believe it, whatsoever) lemme tell you one thing, if you are a bad player or if you just lack the experience, it doesn't mean all the rest of players are like that

post nerf koa'ki meiru, well this deck isn't as aggressive as it used to be but far away from being dead.
this build heavily depends on urnight to summon sandman/wall and usually you will have another rock type koa/ki meiru in hand for maintenance cost, Gyokkou give lethal with urnight, sealed tooms is very useful in the current meta.

I dont even know when the ban list is going to be finally applied but Ive been a big fan of Gyokku, so I guess this build will be good

hmmm in 4 months u are likely to have enough gems to buy whatever u want anyway. Im really glade they limit the cards when the deck is almost dead in the meta, samurai skull was a clear example of this

Can someone explain to me what the hell anicent gear fortress does...it says that ur opponent can’t target ur monsters with card effects and what not the turn they were normal or special summoned...so why do cards like curse of anubis, or amazon onslaught work...doesn’t make sense please explain

It says "TARGET" T-A-R-G-E-T. "TARGET". Onslaught and Anubis, doesn't TARGET. Card that hasn't word TARGET it doesn't TARGET. Ok?

Cards that doesn't target are still the best.

wow I never expected Prinzessin + glass to be that good. Ive found quite a decent amount of ppl playing that deck and it seems very competitive

Koa'kis were like tier 2 for me

There were only 2-3 competitive ways to play it.

Last gamble version lost to buster blader because of piercing damage to winged kuriboh.

Balance version was awesome but it required heavy tech in order to work

tie that binds used to brick from time to time, even if you played econ instead of trunade so yeah. It felt like tier 2 for me as well

Ancient Gear unbeatable?
Wow I just defeated it with the new Prinzessin deck
