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

	Cost
	Tier
	1
	Expensive

Quick chart

Tier 2

Tier 2 decks have a bit more weaknesses than tier 1 decks but your opponent needs to draw them early on.

Infernoid

Infernity got hit hard with the "One Card Wonder" skill getting a hard restriction and Trunade being gone.

I want to go back to the TCG...both irl and in Master Duels.

<< Anonymous(MangakaJ96)

Infernity never use that skill, since nobody use Infernity to begin with.

And that's the point, the anon's joke is that Infernity was heralded as the next t0 due to having all its powerful cards at 3 copies in DL, but it ends up never even becomes t3 in DL, let alone t0.

F2p has difficult time to keep up with current meta, if they only rely on non-stop gems farm to build deck and don't spend money sure they'll quit this game immediately

How about player who just recently play the game?
Konami keep release new meta, and farming gems from char is take time

they can wait until Konami releases their LAST update, before start playing the game.

^^True
For example Harpies core card basically in the same MINI box.
The thing with F2P in this game is you have to learn to stick with your deck rather than keep buying every deck the moment it was released. Yugioh isn't exactly new player friendly in the first place, not just cards. aster rule, ignition, chain blocking, miss timing and such aren't something you always find in card game.

I have tier 0 deck!!!
I'm the strongest duelist ever!!!

"You don't need tier 0 deck when you got luck on your side"

NOT GUNS BLAZING

ranking system from L5-KOG 5Win streak is not healthy and can be frustrating.. instead change it to xp system we can have for example( -60 for Loss &+50 for Win) requiring u to have a good win ratio with also having a leaderboard after kog.. that'd be so much better than just praying that you're opponent doesn't get a godly Lucky hand and u gotta start over for that 5 Win steak again.

People asked to complicate the system because the whales reached the king of games too quickly and they got bored

<< Anonymous(NOT GUNS BLAZING)

people usually get bored when they reached KoG and play meme decks, because literally there is nothing to do, no rewards. The climb was painful, and we got nothing.

The only way to make it interesting is, make the KoG climb easy, and create a ranking system in KoG. Top 10-100 players will get rewards. That will keep the interest going.

Why do i even bother, Konami not gonna read this. Lol

If whales get bored for getting to KoG too easily, let them play other games and use money on them as well. It's not like Duel Links it's the only game ever created.

You have tier 0 deck, but your starting hand is suck = surrender

That's what happen to me, not only once or twice but five times in a row. Now i understand why skill is not necessary in duel links, its luck and money

The problem is that you don't have a tier 0 deck. It's probably not even tiered at all.

So the meta now is which deck has the best custom skill?

Now that you mention master of rites I don't see why it has an lp requirement, ritual decks are mostly garbage and nowadays skills are lp free custom made destiny draws that don't take your normal draw

Because there's no ritual deck to sell at the moment once konami wants to push a ritual deck they'll give it a broken skill

Why every deck recipe in this site is always "must put 3 UR from main box"!!!!
Can they just make it with SR and R card, just for fun duel

3 UR from main box? Consider that very cheap and affordable with free gems. High end decks require 10 UR from boxes and multiple SR all from boxes.

You don't have to

Just be aware that if you don't you'll always lose in pvp. If you can bear with it then don't buy those cards
