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.

Well pvp just reset and I was at legend 1 and now gold 1? I thought we only get demoted by 5 ranks? Did I miss something here?

I was KOG and now at gold 4, so I think they made us all rank down more than expected, I actually like that, we can get more rewards when ranking up

Why do you people always have to play the same 4 decks as everyone else constantly. It's so boring. I block meta deck user after meta deck user and it makes no difference. There are so many good decks you don't have to copy everyone else.

You're a liar. The reason you block meta deck users is so that you can get cheap and easy wins

You can still get matched up vs blocked people

What's the point of blocking them then. And honestly the meta decks right now aren't that good. I'm just bored of knowing exactly what the opponent is going to do 3 turns in advanced because I've played the deck 100 times.

Let's see the deck list in "KOG DECKS" section! It is funny and very strong! But requires skilled players!

There are alot of tier one decks that are not on the list. They don't seem to think any decks on here are good if they don't have guardian statue or use beatdown.

Use gaia with destiny draw, xing zhen zu and anti magic arrows. Trash the wild tornados, they aren.t needed. Thank me later

Try Element Saurus and Sergeant Electro if you have access to them, they would fit the deck better. No need for vanilla 1800 beaters, with Harpies non-existent you Field Spell is safe.

harpies are gone but Phoenix decks are still a thing lad

Having a Loutus is better. Fast otk. You can remove Inpachi and Angus to add more econ or Symbol of Heritage

Beatdown needs a nerf lmao, kaiba every damn match in platinum+

just cus it's used doesnt mean its broken. hhg was the same way. good, not broken, got nerfed because it was used too much and konami doesnt know enough about their own meta to know what's actually broken. any game that bans or nerfs 🔥 just because it's used a lot tends to be unbalanced and bad, which is a pretty accurate description of duel links

icefrog nerfs the crap out of everything in dota and that game is one of the most balanced games in existence. beatdown has been passively buffed with naturia/ninja/phoenix introduction and its everywhere in upper tier. you can still make the decks top/high tier but seeing beatdown every match tells me that its a bit too good

ninjas, phoenix, and red eyes are all good even without beatdown. nerfing beatdown doesnt do anything

The thing with REBD decks is that I don't see Konami touching it, just because of how expensive (therefore profitable) it is...
Anonymous
Konami may have decided to get real with the P2W but it has given us a very strong anti-meta tool : you can play around with the time limit loss if you try abit.
Mr 3x Mirror Wall during battle declaration had to wait an hour and a half to get his win.

Lol, just learn how to use the gems you get wisely. You can build strong decks that can take you to higher ranks without paying a cent. Of course you shouldn't be stupid and expect to build a REBD deck (at least not soon) while beeing F2P... But that is not the only good deck out there (even though it is the best currently)
