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.

So, has Batteryman not been tested enough to seed, or is it not even worthy of the tiers? At first glance, I'd say it's a new Naturia, only with more utility.

Battery Man > Fur Hires.
Battery Man is the real MVP :D !, however, it might brick, but it doesn't mean it's not a good deck; Archfiends brick as well from time to time and it's awesome anyway.

I am tired to play spellbook. So i want to build my own deck. combining Silent magician, gold sarcophagus (that I am buy from Spellbound of silence) and granpa card skill to search pieces of exodia. But i need two copies wonder wand and legion fiend jester again...

Hmmm... I get the idea, while u try to summon exodia silent magician gets stronger. Nice! But I think it's a bit agressive, if u r planning to summon exodia I'd add defensive backrow such as WoD instead of 2 Hey Trunade. You can counter furries this way but your main problem would be amazoness swordwoman.

Just make your deck a bit more defensive, you don't need Trunade / Cosmic if you plan to summon exodia

Beautiful idea!!! But a bit to aggressive: remove hey trunade and add WoD or Cosmoc cyclone

Anyone got a competitive E hero(not Neo-Spacian) deck?
<< Anonymous(E- Hero Tryhard)
Anonymous Reply
there's no competitive E-hero deck unfortunately, but i guess you could try a neos deck with blazemn to send him to the grave and oversoul to sp summon along some counter meta backrow also put necroshade in to be able to normal summon neos with no tirbutes also blue dragon summoner to search neos
<< Anonymous(E- Hero Tryhard)

also there's that card you get for lv 40 alexis. it could also be a good tech but neos would die in the end phase with it

you might want to put some overall good dark monsters in ur deck, maybe like a 1800 atk pierce effect monsters. attack, pierce, mask change, attack directly

no way to create a prefect hero deck without paying real money. here in eu though it takes 7 euros to get 2 structure deck after buying the first one with gems, meaning it is cheap. other than that you could play it with no fusion of imperfect with 1 vyon.

High Burst Potential? Yes. High Control Potential? Yes. OTK Swarm? Yes, but OP is taking it too far. Just Chalice them, I run 3 in my deck and I have no problem unless they go first in which I'll probably just bait them. Canadia is also good against Wiz and FTH works best as a tech card.

1. Fur hire
2. Spell book
3. Amazoness

I hate this meta. So boring -.-

I'm having fun running silent crystals. As soon as I get my third Divine Punishment I'm going to run fairies. Looks like a fun casual deck

I reinforce what I have been saying for weeks: Fur Hire is Tier 0.

I didnt take Dkayed seriously but at least he plays the game and knows what meta is. Now I see this guy from gamea knows nothing about PVP. But thats ok, this site still good for PVE, news and leaks information.

Meanwhile, I'm here slaying that deck with Wind-ups.

Fur Hire has become Tier 0 in Dkayed's website after the last Meta Weekly Tournament where all top 4 players (the champion, 2nd place, 3rd and 4th place) used Furry deck. Very few decks can deal with a Fur Hire deck that runs 2 copies of Hey Trunade

Fur Hires become Tier 0 in Dkayed site!
So where is the furries defender now? "they are not ot at all", etc. where are you my little friend?

Yeah, this deck is clearly Tier 0.

Honestly I want to see a huge number of players complain about this, so that we get our next banlist sooner.

And I say this as someone who has a Fur Hire deck.

Is Gem-Knight really Tier 2?

I've fought some on Platinum before and haven't found any Gem-Knight user in Legend yet, but none of the one I fought really stand out though.

There are already people who reached kog with gem-knight so there's that.

The best Gem-Knight decks I've come across use "That Grass Looks Greener", so I also created a deck for the archetype with that premise and it's definitely high tier. Gradually more common in Legend as people realise the OTK potential.

any deck can reach KOG. well almost any. the reason gems have more KOG deck than those out-of-meta old deck is cuz they're new. though if they get the cards gems can certainly explode, they are still mildly inconsistent, i'd say KOG worthy at best.
