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.

Does anyone else here besides me get the worst match ups possible?

When I play Subterror, my opponents are Ancient gears.

When I play Ancient gears, it is Blue eyes.

When I switch to Blue eyes, it is Darklords and Desperado

> play flower cardians they are able to deal with every deck
it is a good idea,
but you need 6,000 gems on average to get all 3 of all cardian cards (and with my luck, maybe even more)
I think it’s too expensive for a deck that will be playable no more than a month

No, just you.
Create a SIDE deck, that might help you a lot. Your deck will be less vulnerable to certain counters.

I think what he meant is "create an alternative deck," rather than trying to somehow side-deck in a game that doesn't allow side-decking.

All tier lists are theoretical.
They are not real.
People who focus too much on tier lists always loses in the game lol

I disagree.
You can play anything, but tier 1 - 2 decks are clearly better than others.
<< Anonymous(DOrian)
OP is right Reply
Tier lists are only good to give you insight about which decks are considered as meta.

But you can defeat any tier 1 deck with a TIER 3 one or even with a kog worthy rogue deck. I'm pretty sure about it because spellbooks topped many KC Cups while being OUT of the tier list.

why can't you make a the agent deck?

I find this tier list more legit than the duel links meta website tier

This list on DM is based on the popularity of cards.

The more players choose this deck in the tournament, the higher it is in the top

Hello again GameA, thanks for responding to my request for a UA decklist. Can we have Agents and Cardians next? IF those are actually viable decks.

Hi, we already upload Flower Cardian decklist page but Agent still in progress, we will try to upload it as soon as possible

When theres only a tier 1 deck, it means its tier 0...

They don’t have to “auto-win” against the other meta decks, they just to be able to compete with them- which they do. This is no T0 deck

If they have "counters" they those counters should be tier 1 too. never can exist only 1 tier 1.

Tier 0 deck is the deck that players use most often in tournaments, approximately 70 or 80% of players, I don’t remember the exact percentage

It’s 60% or higher
Fair-meta?
I get Cyber Angels were OP at the beginning, Sylvans and Amazoness were good too. But they still deserve that nerf today?

Will Cyber Angel/Sylvans/Amazoness beat Blue Eyes/Red Eyes/Desperado if they were the same as back in the day?

Or it's ok to see OP decks now because there are "many" right now?

Sylvans are slow for today standards, cyber angels they easily get to tier 1 again if they lose all limits, and amazoness, maybe if we get more backrow removal.

Wohoooo my first KOG wit Desperado

If Vendreads can win against ancient gear, desperado and neos fusion.

They are pretty much top tier. You only need 2 copies of revendread slayer to make the best version, that's F2P

DLM's way of manipulation :
- spreading F2P things across the internet
- stating that F2P deck can do well in tournament to make people interested
- asking those people to join their tournament, FYI to join their tournament people must first subscribe DLM's Twitch or join DLM's discord
- Since they have spent money to join the community, they will start investing money on box/structure deck

Is Aromage deck KOG worthy?

I love that deck but I still can't put it to work against meta decks

Hello GameA. UA is very spicy in Leg and KOG right now. Please make an updated decklist too.
