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.

Tier 2

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

Are aromages a good deck? I always seem to lose against them using shiranui but they aren’t tiered. I’m just wondering if it’s worth it to try build one myself considering most of the cards are from the CT. Any help appreciated

If you don't want to use gems, you can instead use money you know?

We can only store 9999 gems. The rest will be stored in gift box and can expire. You will eventually need to spend your gems.

i think gamea tier list is quite accurate. Until that WC in T2. Should be AT LEAST placed at T1.

Is Infernity tiered yet? Or is it Mermail's brother?

Not tiered. But they aren't bad either. It's easy to reach KoG with Infernity, so it's a good rogue deck.

finally cydra removed from the list, time for me to use cydra again when nobody playing it, its just too annoying when everyone using the same deck

How tf is masked hero lower than dark magician and blackwing? Especially now that the first one is nerfed? It can roll right over these even going first at times if you know how to play it right.

I made a new account (already have kog on other)got 3 circle 3 nav and go KoG with like a 80% win rate. Yes it can brick but generally you'll be okay. DON'T play eye of timaeus it's a trap.

I think it is still really good too even though I still like my hero deck better. I know what you mean about eye of timaeus. Sometimes it is not good. I also have the ritual version with Master of Rites and a synchro one with night's end sorcerer. The only thing I am on the fence about is a predaplant version.

You have to compare each deck with existing meta, such as Hero against aleister. If you had a hard time against it, it make sense both Blackwing and DM on upper tier than hero.
Btw, blackwing can use Necrovalley even in their first turn which can disrupt most meta.

Necrovalley isn't really that bad for heroes with everything they have to get rid of it. The real problem is witchcrafters. And I wouldn't say it is horrible against shiranui, but not great either. And then shadow game can be a real 🔥 to it. It's still good against a lot of other things. I think it fell because it isn't as versatile as it was before witchcrafters and just less people using it.

I'm a f2p player, I'm almost kog with shiranui deck and I have 13000 gems, but I don't know how to spend them, I'm uncertain between buying truth universe's pack to make D/D/D deck and judgment force's pack to make Luna light and Lightsworn. What's your advice?

shiranui is still better. they are not worth buying.i think you should wait for new packs

they are not tier 1 , many ppl play necrovalley or kycco or other anti banish cards from gys that makes them along shiranui at least tier 2 not 1

Why is blue eyes still on the tier list??
<< Anonymous
Anonymous Reply
Perhaps because of spirit dragon. Still, considering how the current meta works, treating it as tier 3 is kinda overrated ( this also applied to dragunity as well ). Those dragons deck hasn't received any support to make it a tier deck. It might be kog worth, but not tiered at very least

Being tiered in the past doesnt mean it will be there forever. Alternatives hasnt even released yet at this point outside of skill

Idk if I read this correct but IMO Blue Eyes is a horrible match up for Cyber Dragon. Once you figure out the timing of the Blue Eyes cards (if you don’t already know them) it’s super easy to beat with cyber Dragons. Especially if you run Cyber Dragon Drie.
