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.

I wonder what's a good deck with many negate cards. Spammed Silent Swordsman with counter cards back in the day and I was wondering if there's still any deck like that in the game instead of the same meta OTK decks.

Thunder dragon meets your criteria but it's meta too for those exact reasons: several negates and big chances of otk

^also onomat. Roach + bounzer

I believe both onomat and TG got hit because it has negation with OTK material.
You won't find any top tier deck that can only do OTK

Exactly 7 deck Will be limited but that's not seem a nuclear.
I think with New main box and New World, we Will see New meta list.

Why resonator is demoted to tier 3? Everytime I face it it's still strong even banned trunade is not big problem for it.

Resonators are not really strong by themselves, the need 3 book of moon and treacherous to be top. I have all the card except BoM and if the opponent have roach you lose. And if you have scholding the opponent have 100% MST!

when you have the LOL combo of chronomaly, you win. (Moai - Smily - Moai).
Too bad, Chronomaly is still like Bricklords.

I'm F2P been playing since 6/21 and having fun playing a non meta deck that many seem not to know what to do with.

Amazoness Onslaught is still powerful when it does snowballs by allowing its player to banish lots of monsters.

You'll need something to stop cards like MST and Cosmic Cyclone though.....

I recommend not playing this game until the developer has released good free2play decks and Book of moon in gem access.

Playing ranked right now with free2play Harpies or Blue eyes is means that Resonators, Gaia and Thunderdragons will wipe the floor with you.

Let them play against each other, don't let them easily rank up

Oh I didn't know you need prismatic BOM in order to compete in tournament. I thought a normal one would is enough.

You don't need strategy to play this game, you need money to play it. At least that's what happens now, after 4 years released

True. KoG at least 10 times (already got the Icon within first year playing). And I have never spend money on this game.

How you play free to play Harpie deck against Onomats and Thunder dragons? There is no way to win without Book of moon against some Xyz monsters. Going second against Gaia it is also auto lose. Harpies also unfavored against Blue eyes.

You find more of the f2p versions of onomat, td than the whale versions you know? If you missing cards your opponent probably is missing a few too, it's not like everyone has the fully optimized versions of meta decks except you

Man, players still get to KoG with 100% f2p lunalights that doesnt even run fire-formation tenki. You just need to spent a little more time in ranked duels. Thats all.

Gold is the most useless item in game, so card trader

Why would they give you a sphere kuriboh for free when they can squeeze money/gems from you while at the same time feed you with trash UR/SR cards?

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.
