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.

Level Augmentation, maybe? Just to make any monster (or a tuner) level 6 and then synchro summon stuff like Vermillion Mech Dragon (lv.9) for some flexibility. :)

Limit everything you want, nothing will happen if you know what I mean. Take it as a life lesson, you need to know the place where you belong, MULE.

I just returned to the game and I see the same decks, in the same tier as back in the day.

Did the game get a close notice and stopped being updated?

no but it sure feels like the game is abandoned

Really? I see plenty of people at DLM and the content is still hot topic.

Trolls left most of the chats, yeah that's true, maybe they had to.. maybe they had to do something quick ..

Im gonna be honest, karakuri needs kunazman to get hit, same with the searcher. Unlimit the green one and we will be fine

I can see merchant to be hit, but I doubt about Bonze though.
Possible hit I can think of, Merchant to 2, Komachi to 3.

Not sure if they gonna nerf Restart again.

Doesn't matter. If it gets hit, they may also release Kunazwoman, which is as broken

winged dragon of ra perhaps not but aromage is doing pretty well even in this KC cup.

15 tier decks for pvp. A nice period to play duel links. Just a small nerf to Karakuri and Shiranui and we will have a good meta.

Bias. It is not the first time this happens, some people considered crystron tier 1 for a long time despite not winning anything and not being majority in tournaments. These people were popular among sheep's and everyone started believing it

Not winning tournament are you sure? You should confirm with the Japanese community first.

I did, has won only 1 while shiranui and company, supposed to be inferior, have won more (I'm counting from Arena of Sanctuary)

Check yesterday's meta weekly: shiranui and karakuri had the same representation (13) only 1 karakuri made it to top 32

Its because of its matchup spread and how much stuff it can do. Magician girls often beat them but only because invocation is for people with no brains lol

I dusted off my old Yubel deck out of curiosity and the funniest thing is that it directly counters lunalights

Wow Weather Painters Just won 1st place at Meta Weekly. Guess the new Rank 3s helped a lot.

That meta weekly was without side decks so it has to be good in kc/ranked

they are trash specially against dms

If evil eye with lots of face-up spells is on this list, then why triamid is not on the tier list? Lol. All of their monsters even have quick effect and they have balance removal with master and pulse. Also not forget with their field spells, they can draw, dump, search, recover, gain LP, special summon, anti card effects destroy and anti-battle trap/battle phase handtrap. Also their boss monster, Sphinx which has marauding captain like-effect. This sounds biased but I'm DM player, btw.

Yeah, Triamid should be still tiered.

along with triamid.especially the unfair kinggolem spell

Evil eyes as way more power than triamid :
disrupt field , graveyard , recycle , absurd attack boost and unkillable boss monster with the draw back to manage your HP.
Its also a very consistant deck who can easily almost always setup the same field.
He have some issue with m/p removal and hight burst deck.
...
duel links meta page is misleading.it says elemtalsabers.but without invoker its nothing.

DLM is always misleading. Their tier list is based on their own tournament instead of the actual Ranked condition, and their tournament even includes side deck, something that doesn't exist in the game.
