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.

Tier lists are completely referential.
Both Triamids and Electromagnets were in Day 2 of the WCS tournament.

That's F2P
And top tier

I do not understand what's good in Triamids besides it is cheap to build
I never lost to it
It’s not nearly so oppressive as Desperado, Neos, or Metaphys decks

Dude above is bad, I bet he doesn't even make it to kog. Triamids are Day 1 KOG material => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1T21jmuTp0

I think Triamids are still a solid tier 1. Last time people though no archetype would be good in a mini box, but I guess people are always wrong, not in vain the ones commenting tend to be the less experienced players lol

I bet another f2p deck will come, maye fur hire monsters + Barbaros or something like that.

F2P = META

Don't forget Electromagnets
<< Anonymous(F2P)

Their key weakness (and its one hell of one) is that they have no form of backrow protection nor can they handle a good board wipe. Because if you nuke the board their small comeback potential shows. They’re not weak but they’re based on using all their resources to control the board so when it’s taken away they don’t have anything to fall back on.

Lol, people took neos fusion alone to WCS, also electromagnets, everything that matters are the skills of the player.

I respect Six Samurai & Triamids players more than those Red-Eyes, Desperado, Neos Fusion & Geartown.

They need to make this game so that you can only duel against players in your own region just most other PvP games (with the exception of WC of course.) Tired of all these Japanese players on ranked/PvP event.

That’s probably what the op means by it being unfair. I agree, the same concept applies to other PvP games such as fort night for example. Some regions of players are going to be way better than others.

Meh, DL seems like a luck based game more than a skill based. The player who drew a better hand wins the duel, especially now with despacito dragon running around.

Is Red-Eyes not tier 1 anymore? What changed?

Now that we took care of scum Weevil, this is the next bane of the meta we must get hit. This degenerate deck just hides behinds traps, and summons lava golem for burn.

What the guy above sad man, seriously... no one plays jinzo at the moment. But this deck is pretty much Platinum material, I only play stall to farm skills.

Unoriginal meta in a nutshell. Try making a cool rogue deck to counter them.
not that good
Why do people think trap decks are strong? I've tested it myself. They have a lot of weaknesses and the playing style is very lazy. Trap decks might be useful to farm skills though

Trap decks are kinda weak, yes.

Traps are platinum rank material, they can be good in a proper amazoness stall deck... but I only play stall to farm some skills

When the opponent finally learns it's a trap deck most of the time they figure it out too late and then Obelisk is already smashing.

Farm deck category?

Triamids are tier 1 and they are easy to build, you just need gems and a brain.

Triamids are decent, but Six Sam are clearly superior and are also F2P
