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.

hey guys I started to play DL yesterday and follwing some tips I got this deck and I can confirm it is very cheap and very strong, I biuld it in only 2 days I tried got 3rd Squire.. but I think 2 is ok since I got 2nd Solitarie and it substituite 3rd quire very well but if anyone got 3 Squire use it, I just use 2nd Solitarie to save some gems, this deck is very cheap and can reach KoG easily

Should I save my gems or spend then on getting the cards for the tier 1 and or 2 decks? Honest opinion cause I wanna spawn for these decks but I dont wanna spend my gems just for them to be hit with a hard ban

So far, if your gems are not over 9999, I will suggest to hold on first because I think you can wait for the banlist then only start to invest is better.

People complained about connection issue when there's only 2 players in one duel, imagine if it's 4 players.

I miss the meta back to old days when Axe Raider was the strongest monster...

Yo that Dark Magician deck is horrible and it shouldn't be in a Tier list. Not until Eternal Soul, Soul Servant, and Magician Souls get released.

I heard D-HERO plasma and the rest of masked heroes topped the KC CUP.

I built that deck more than 1 year ago, I guess Konami appreciates old players.

Totally agree with the above post. Heroes topped KC Cup for 2 reasons:
1st - Was a new deck so many duelists weren't prepared how to face it and how it works.
2nd - It is a FAST deck. It will either win or loose in 2nd turn. Dueling time is crucial in KC tournaments. The goal is to earn points FAST. Winning or loosing in 2nd turn is much better than playing for 8-9 turns and finally lose.
