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.

New Cyber Dark is good, I just got all those 3 Cyber Dark cannons I was missing and gotta say the deck works like a charm in the current meta. However, you need future fusion to make it even more consistent

>_> it's not very competitive... well, it might be, but you need to be very good about your decisions, not an easy deck to play because it lacks backrow... once you decide to attack, there's no way back, just like with Koaki' Meiru

What has made Gladiator Beasts come back onto the scene?

I've been away from climbing the ladder since the most recent main box so I'm a little out of the loop and curious.

Oh is that it? That's disappointing, I thought I missed news that a new Glad Beast was released haha

Yeah, they should give us a bit more Glad Beast already. Last time we got more Glad Beast support, they're not that good. We need the new ones and the good ones.

With the right backrow the deck is pretty much viable again.

Karakuri sazank

Yeap I would say this is burn deck too. I guess that's it in legend. Nothing that is honest straight up duel. Staying in lower rank is more fun.

6th card on top row has quite a long name, its "Karakuri Ninja mdl 339 Sazank". Btw, you guys should now the big difference between burn decks and Anti-metas. Burn decks had lots of spell cards that inflict 'effect damage' such as burning land, Restructer Revolution, Mask of the Accursed, etc, so you can win with such 'effect damage' alone.
This one looks wayyy more like an OTK deck.

Nice deck, but that's nowhere near "non expensive".

Just found this dude on the ladder, I really liked his deck so I would like to shoutout him.
He was really really close to beating me, and he was on his last match to enter legend.
I hope to see his deck in the kog list.

HAAHA, you delete my HUGE post about how this game manipulates who you are matched up against? Why, no cussing or anything like that, just my observations? are you owned by komoney? or are you purposely trying to keep people ignorant? The more you delete, the more I want to post...
<< Anonymous(What O.o)

They do. They manipulate who you fight against. This is based off of Slot Machines in Casinos. They try to keep you playing for as long as possible. It also makes you waste money trying to make a deck to counter a certain deck that keeps popping up in ranked. Once you make the deck to counter, they will match you up with one that counters your NEW deck. They manipulate what cards u draw also.

DLM is sometimes questionable, to be honest.

No way Anki deck is anything lower than T2.

yubel phoenix is a psychological and tactical ploy by the competetive environment to lull the players into it but in actuality it's semi-viable and quite bricky. god in paper, bad in execution! hah!

When GX came, Dakini became tier 0 and F2P,and 5Ds to prevent to make the same 'mistake' nerfed 5ds. There's no syncro meta yet, and the best tuner monsters from the new box are UR or SR, a really stupid way to make synchro popular, since they put the 5Ds character's ace cards as a skill. I hope things will get better...

Dunno why you use quotation marks since it IS a literal mistake.

GX is supposed to be the Fusion season, yet it's Ritual that completely breaks the meta at that time. Doesn't help that the Cyber Angel Rituals have Arc-V level of power creep since they weren't released in real life until Arc-V era.
