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

Sylvans shouldnt of even been added yet. They have so many older cards to add still yet they add this crap.

Anonymous

i vote that sylvan players are 🔥 and deserve to rot in hell, and second, they should be nerfed from tier 0 to tier 5.(and thats not a typo)

*States halfa$$ed opinion on Sylvans*, ;Sylvans player, "no u". Ha, shows how brain dead the community can be with horrible data. Sylvans will be eventually countered, let's see who figures the first counter to the deck though. Besides, there's no real skill that goes into the player who uses the deck itself. Now that we can agree on, is a fact. HAHAH

*looks at multiple copies of divine wrath, divine punishment, counter fairys, Hazy flames, angel 007's, ultimate providences, gravekeeper preistesses, etc*
hopefully one day we'll find a counter to this 🔥

Can Archfiend works with 2 Emperor?? If yes, what is the best replacement for the 3rd Emperor?

The meta flooded with Sylvans.. Or expensive decks that counters them. Well Konami sure did a good job in shifting meta in their favour to make more money. With them pumping out new boxes quickly as well making this shift rather quick too. Its kind of hard for F2P player to keep up if they are casuals like me... I guess they need to start revising the banlist to make it F2P friendly as well. That will be my only wish.

Just cruising

Just been playing around with this deck using Odion for fun and want to know anyone's thoughts about the following:

To date I am at Silver 5 and DLv.11 with Kaiba Cup, kinda expecting to get wrecked later on

2 x Lava Golem
3 x Flamvell Dragnov
2 x Enemy Controller
2 x Mask of the Accursed
2 x Tiki Soul
2 x Embodiment of Apophis
1 x Tiki Curse
1 x Skull Invitation
1 x Impenetrable Attack
1 x Wall of Disruption
2 x Attack and Receive

Try putting 3 Amazoness Swords Woman and 3 Massivemorphs. Massivemorph prevent direct attacks, and Amazoness Swords Woman will bounce damage back. Don't forget Windstorm of Etaqua. But if you want to know what I think, I'm one of those who dislike stall/burn decks. It's really not fun on the receiving end. (Unless you play one of the top decks that can clear the whole field.)

<< Anonymous(Just cruising)

Stall/burn is not that viable anymore because of all the board wipe in the current meta

Anonymous

Never been to KoG.First try to get rezd deck,then get wrecked by new Phoenix deck,after that meta was like:frog,ninja,ice barriers,dark world, bujin,ag... and now it's sylvan. This game should have multiple meta decks at once,instead of making only one deck overpowered and played densely at the moment.So boring and messed up.Not to mention burn and mill.

we have ssa, goldenfish, alien, archfiend, destinyhero, and ca still there too, i think that was multiple meta decks..

but yeah, the boring part was true because the new box didnt change the meta so much, only geargias kinda good and destinyhero got a new toy..

I would change aliens to tier 2 and geargias to tier 1, anyone else agrees? aliens get stomped by every deck in tier 1... they are just not as powerful as they were before Geargias in the other hand do pretty well against tier 1 decks imo.

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

Same opinion here dude... geargias are better than aliens ...aliens are not that strong now or are not that much visible in meta

Monreaux

Can we just change this games name to Sylvan and Alien Links!?!?!?!?!? JESUS H. CHRIST!!!!!! 5 battles in a row all Sylvan... remember when this game was fun?

alien tier 1? no way man.

<< Anonymous

In terms of power it is definitely on par with the rest of tier 1. You either pull off an OTK against the Aliens or you lose 100%. Even with a proper OTK combo the Aliens still might be able to stop it with spells and traps. Definitely Tier 1 worthy

<< Anonymous

I'll play against Aliens and people might believe they could be 'powerful', but to be honest, I over power the deck every single time, even when they have full backrow or even OTK. Maybe my deck is simply better, but, I don't see why they put Aliens top tier 1, my deck can demolish all top tier, CA, Aliens, and Sylvans. I've tested the experiment out. It ACTually works.

Care to actually share your deck? Or at least describe it? Or perhaps you want to keep your winning deck a secret? Don't blame you if that's the case.

<< Anonymous

Aquablast Reply

Alien is strong because it can neutralize face-up monsters quickly, clear your backrow using Alien Telepath, summon multiple monsters in the same turn, take control of your monster, etc. You might be able to play around it (like setting your monsters), but most decks just can't deal with it.

1 Hit OTK

gamea please put my tier 0 kog deck in your list..

KARATE MAN 1st turn OTK DECK
(turn2 or turn3 or turn4 otk)

draw sense earth or duel stand by skills

pay to play super very expensive budget

3 karate man
3 assault armor
3 secret pass to the treasures
3 into the void
3 hey! trunade
3 dark world dealings
2 sphere kuriboh

99% win rate
1% defeat rate is from mirror wall and sphere kuriboh/kuriboh

mirror wall is a luck from rng
no one uses sphere kuriboh and kuriboh nowadays because of 🔥ous decks like sylvans,etc...

It's called 'Cuc', it's for brainless losers who were once bad at the game and now they think their "good", for simply cucing every easy deck that comes his way to get KoG. The deck could've been built day one of Yu Gi Oh Duel Links and wouldn't of been top tier for how inconsistent the deck you built is. Quit cucing people and get out of KoG, it's only there for people who actually deserve it.
