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

Tier 2

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

Infernoid

Duel Links is still far more profitable than Duel Generation. Konami won't bother releasing a new game anytime soon.

And of course I brought up card game revenue. People always compare Duel Links with other card game app like Hearthstone, Vanguard Zero, or Shadowverse.

Nobody is that dumb to compare Duel Links with say, Pokemon Go. They're two very different genre.

The op (well the 2nd comment) was referring to the mobile game revenue in general not only cards. I remember people on reddit bragging (for some reason, as if it were their game lol) about it. though dl was not top 5 it was mostly at 7

Duel Generations dropped because its system wasn't exactly appealing. People have more fun with Duel Link's system, hence why it's much more successful than Duel Generations.

Restart the game until you get 2 squire. Use regular tickets to get dice it until you get some trap staples.

yeah squire is probably the most important card in this deck.

r e tarded saying that backrow is the most important thing in 3, 2, 1.......

yeah kog match was against legend 2 but a decklist easily koggable or able to do well in tournies.lots of times rank doesnt matter in legend.

Fun deck for you and a very annoying deck for your opponent ^^

Where are Six Sams S

How are they not tiered? Only bad matchup really is Witchcrafter, which is a snoozefest to play against anyway, and BlackWings. Any other deck in that tier list gets clapped.

Lunalight is not even tiered. If Shi En is on the field do you think that you can still use Lunalight Fusion? Good to see Fox in the banlist, you can no longer run Neos Fusion & Kiteroid.

I have built my six sams within the 1st week of my new account, with the help of dream tickets. so far never lost to lunalights. The deck is still the same back when it was meta when you go 1st and pull of the 1st turn ideal setup, which is Shien and Dual weild set. it's still hard to beat that setup if you don't have the answers in your starting hand.

Hahahahahahahaha good one......6 sams good? lol

<< Anonymous

I agree 6sams is not so good anymore since both of there important card are limited to 2. But still when I face them that turn 1 shien + 1 or 2 backrow, sometime you just cant do anything but to face that you'll get dual weild. now they even put Karma cut in their deck.

At least my deck that is consistently taking down Karakuri and Shiranui isn’t listed ;) muahahahaha

This tier list looks more accurate duel links meta has karakuri as only tier 1 their tier list is horrible

Dlm tier list have always been suspicious or feel manipulated, like how they had crystron as tier 1 even when it didn't have enough representation and of course didn't win a damn in a span of months

Anonymous

here is the suggestions for the ranked in legend:
You cannot rank down.No streak system
to rank up from legend 1 or 2 or 3 you need to go + 3.from legend 4 you need to go +4 total. and from legend 5 you need to go total + 5 .you can multiply this if you think they are small.like +6,+8,+10.(not streak)

The 'luck' here is the problem. It was a programmed luck. Try play Shiranui for a while, for example. You will notice that most of every rank up match, your starting hand will consist of all the tuners you had in deck.

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

If your running 4 or more tuners in a shira deck, you're playing it wrong.

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

That's the wonderful part of it. Of course, I just play 3 tuners. Yet they all are always out in first 2 turns if it were a rank up match

It's not only a matter if time.. u can keep trying but u u are unlucky you'll lose the 5th game many times and get frustrated doesn't matter what deck u play it needs alot of luck from l5 to kog 5 win streak since everyone is playing best decks lol

Thanks konami for taking us (almost) back to January meta.

I quit the game because of all the burn/stall deck on pvp ladder. It's so tiring playing for 20+ turn just to see their hp keep increasing and I lose more resources turn by turn. If I change my deck to counter burn I will get rekt by non-burn deck. The meta diversity is really great but somehow burn deck also has a lot of variety this season. I don't regret at all quitting this game after 218 straight days playing. Better play more 'skilled' game than rng 🔥

use a deck that destroys back row. this will be effective against burn/non burn decks

Ms Judge negated a counter trap card wow did not know that

<< Anonymous(lenovogreeceg770)

Probably has something to do with her effect being continuous and doesn't start a chain (note how in your screenshot, it's within the same chain as the counter trap, instead of being chained to the counter trap), thus it just applies and spell speed is irrelevant.
