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

Fun deck idea I had. Doing well in Platinum so far. Thoughts?

Extra deck is 1 Red Eyes Slash and 1 Meteor Black Dragon (all I have, though I assume a second Slash would be optimal. Haven't had need of it yet though.)

Spellbook is not tier 1. Maybe tier 1 in how annoying it is to wait for your opponent to finish their turn.

how did you get 5 different named spellbook cards in graveyard on turn 1 to resolve fool of prophecy's effect?

I play spellbooks too and i use the same method with DMOC hahaha it's pretty easy if you know which cards start, this combo better in 30 cards with the grass, the grass is the fast method, but the slow method is this movement:

1) Library of crescent
2) Spellbook of secrets
3) Spellbook of the master
4) Spellbook of power (don't care if you lose the atk bonus, the important is to get spellbook in gy)
5) Use fool of prophecy effect to send a fate, life or another spellbook to need
6) End face summon reaper and use it effect to get DMOC.
If you manage to get this combo with a fate in BR you have a 70% to win to any deck.

some moron

So why is dark paladin not on here? i have an 80% win rate with it and i consistently beat sylvans. i understand it not being t1 but at the very least t3

In what tier are the crystal beasts with the new supports? I saw several videos on Youtube saying that they are competitive now, but I haven't had time to test them.

probably at the same level as the old meta maybe a little weaker meaning tier 3/4 don't look at this tier list tho. the fact that hey still have ca (a dead deck) as tier 1 speaks about how reliable it is. as for comparisons cb is probably about as good as flying fish a little below other stronger old meta decks

Flying fish >>> CB
Cb are not even comparable to flying fish! Although i remember a bloke in plat using CBs and it was quite consistent.

True, when they first came out, everyone one using them in pvp. I don’t know if it’s due to inexperience, but the worst part about facing that deck is waiting for your opponents turn to end. I never lost to them at the begging of the month and I never saw anyone play them anymore recently.

not that i see gamea's tier list as any good but given recent results spellbooks is either the best or the 2nd best deck in the game only to sylvans maybe if instead of "spell books" you put "cyber angels" you would be correct

a few days ago i reported some players because they seems cheating (connection failed, time limit loss). today at pvp my hand is always bricked so hard, no matter what deck i use, is it a form of penalty given?

well most of the time connection failures and time limit losses are simply connection issues or server failures. rarely is it a case of actual cheating. most obvious cases of cheaters that i have witnessed are hazy players who don't play aroma strat and still manage to get the sphynx effect with a spell on top. as for the other on it's a cards game, bricks are a part of it

Just some opinion

Hey guys I wonder which deck will be good or dead when the new leaked box arrives? From my opinion, Bujin and Six Samurai will be good and Sylvan will be one of few decks that gets killed.

thats right play a card that counters sylvans but is dead against other decks. bujins will be better six sams will still be garbo. sylvans won't be all that effected. nobleman isn't as good as other cards at countering sylvans because it's simply not a good main deck card.

Is there any cyber dragon deck that is usable in competitive rn?

Yes, but it's impossible to top with it currently. You can scrap your way to KoG using a machine fusion build of cybers but it's just not worth driving yourself crazy.

When they want you to have Cybers, Komoney will give you Cybers. And until then, weep with me
