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.

The Phantom Knights

Tier 2

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

Infernoid

Another King of Games deck.
You can get that Witch-Rider with a Ticket and Double Magical Arm Binds are truly useful against Ancient Gear and Koa'ki Meiru. Quite a creative build, it's only weakness would be Amazoness but if you play it right you can take them down as well.

Btw. The skill is The Tie that Binds.

This deck actually is very good in the current meta. Blackfalcon can help you to control the field very easily by spawning tokens.

Another cool build and totally f2p. Some of the URs right there can be obtained with tickets, I'd pick the witch rider with it.

Hi there.
After struggling a lot (and I really mean a lot) I finally managed to reach KoG with aquactress this season. Very fast OTK and it struggles only against Yubel. You'll have to get the win streaks without facing her, otherwise, you die unless you steal the yubel with Econ and attack directly with the Whale.
Anyway, it's a fun deck and more importantly is not expensive at all. (But yeah, not advisable if all you want are easy wins)

P.S wtf... it'd be nice if they just clean the toxic spam here.

Congrats bruh. This deck is getting old but it's interesting how it can be competitive in the right hands. KoG rank well deserved.

It's kinda sad how some really UNGRATEFUL guys tried too hard to bury this one without even saying "Thanks for the Deck". I guess some spammers here got no class at all.

Aromage King of games.
The only expensive cards are canadias and you can get some with tickets, I didn't use drowning mirrorforce too much, so I guess you can change that one for another not-very-expensive trap such as widesread ruin or WoD.

There are people who already made it to Kog with Lavals and that build is even less expensive than this one.

good deck tbh Reply

Arowaifu is always meta during the last weeks of the season. I reached KoG with Aromages the last month n.n

<< Anonymous(good deck tbh)

Not a bad build at all. However, I wish there would be better cards in the Secret of the Ancient box or that they get more usage in the future. Maybe Im just a n00b but to me Junk Synchron is pretty much the only thing I know how to play from SoA lol :d

I guess they buried this deck because it was a clear proof of the game being totally free to play.

Enjoy the F2P

Damn ! Look at this.
Another Free-to-Compete deck that made it to King of Games rank this month. (and actually pretty early in the season)

How much is it going to cost you?, really. Maybe 2000 gems.

I think you exaggerated a little. At least one copy of Stardust Dragon is needed so I'd say 4k, but yeah. It's 100% Free to compete.

Free to compete.

Accept Reality, guys

As I said before:
1) Last ban list update only limited R cards.
2) then EX structure packs became purchasable with gems.
3) They have also increased the drop rate of gems. They also renewed the dueling stamps pretty fast. What does that tell you? Duel Links is doing pretty well.

Which is the strongest deck right now?
Answer: DINOSAURS.
- You can get if for free.

They should disable the comment section, or get rid of this site and open a new one with just info about the new content. No comments allowed. Otherwise we will have to deal with this idiots who keeps posting: Don't play this game, the drops are bad, everything is expensive, bla, bla, bla 24/7

It seems like there is some kind of plot against duel links going on. Weird.

I bet this guy who keep calling "expensive" to duel links is being forced to repeat the same dumb speech again and again. Otherwise he wouldn't be doing the spam all day.
They better disable the comment section like they did in the OCG channel. Japan should realize there are UNHEALTHY people in the western world who simply cannot tolerate businesses besides their own.

Quite literally, some people made it to Kog with Vylons, Dinos and Lavals. Yet this idiot keep posting the game is "expensive".

Hey Konami hater

You may not be aware of it because you don't even play. But getting gems is relatively easy in the game, since keys are massive you can even level up characters at the game and you will often get 10-15 gems from the small treasure boxes. Real players know they can build even the "expensive" decks for free. It's not even time demanding.

He's an unhealthy person who has been paid or something to post crap in this site every day. Someone must have sent him here.

I’m pretty satisfied with the meta right now because the new Dino deck is really Free-to-Obtain. ^^
