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.

What the F is this new skill that fills the graveyard for Levianeer, Konami doesn't know what to do with this game?

Why then did they limit the Thunder dragons then if everything repeats again.

They want players to just buy a new GAndora deck to abuse the same strategy again?

Thank you for "Summon free livianeer" button, very convenient, only 3 times per duel jerks

It's konami manipulating the meta to increase sales, nothing out of the ordinary, they always do that in physical format but it's far easier in duel links.

Release new trash cards>make them OP with a skill>enjoy profit>nerf skill>said cards return to trash tier. Repeat

Konami doesn't manipulate the meta. They make the meta.

I feel bad for gandora whenever they nerf their skill it won't be playable anymore, other decks can still kinda play once they are nerfed, gandora is unplayable without the skill

This game is 🔥ed, don't know why I keep playing it tbh.
Firstly, Konami recognise Switcheroo is too popular, nerf it and replace it with 3SD. Next, HHG too good and 3SD OP, let's nerf that. Oh and Tea burn has no interaction so that's got to go! What should we do instead? Bring out otk decks with even less interaction? What a great idea, let's have naturia deck! Grr, oh, how can we make this even more broken? Let's put ice barrier OTK too!!! Come on. There's no skill and fun in a 2 turn game Konami.

Read the card again:

"...negate the activation, AND IF YOU DO, destroy that card, THEN draw 1 card."

What tier is stellarknight based on pvp ranked? What's the best ex structure to get right now don't say gaia as it requires bls and the pendulum selection box cards

By buying just 3 gaia structure decks and throwing in some f2p staples you have a complete deck for ranked from day 1.
Satterlarknights need at leat 1 dig to a main box.

Although gaia is a powerful deck, facing a random buster blader is almost instant loss.

Despite that, if you desperately need a ranked deck fast and cheap go for gaia.

Gaia needs bls and the pendulum monster both from different selection only whales can play gaia

Stellarknight is probably at least tier 2 if not tier 1.5 at this point, the deck is really good now thanks to the new cards.
BudvaDueling
Mark my words, Buster Blader is going to be the next tier 1 for months if another box doesn't happen. That being said, Dlv.20 on the 4th day of KC Cup, I present to you, my magnets deck.

Imo this is one of the best tier lists we had for ages. No tier 0/1 deck. All the decks listed have their weaknesses. I used rogue and fun decks I had sitting for months like witchcrafters, fortune ladies, red eyes, heroes etc and got some satisfying wins. Propably the most problematic deck continues to be harpies and water xyz due to they first turn otk potential and strong backrow. Beside those two the rest can easily get beaten.

I love that majority of decks don't really dominate and stomp on everything, except water xyz.

My problem is that this balance came tooooo late I'm really tired of water, Harpie and tg, they have been around for too long

Same I hate myself for saying this but we need 2 or 3 decks that break this meta it's so boring seeing the same decks again and again it reminds me of that 8 months meta we got pre witch sorcery

Besides Yugioh, I like One Piece. Kurohige is my role model. 659-440-527
Lvl 45 deck name is A Frog's Journey
Can easily be special summoned by mother grizzly.
This card will always deck out superheavy samurai since they don't use spell or traps.
