King of Game decks [Dec 2018]

A comment from Heartfilia:

Hit the KoG with Silent magician low budget, I had tried a variety of deck like, Geargia, Vampire, MH, but they just got me to Legend 2, and down again because I used GB deck, I don’t know why used GB in this season always brick, full monster in my hand and no backrow.

And I decided to used this deck, Very amazing Winstreak 15-0 from Legend 1 to KoG no single Lose.
I run 2 Chow Len the Prophet as alternate of Breaker the magical warrior, it help me a lot from Wall of D & Drowning Mirror Force and can force them to use Canadia and Floodgate on Chow, so summon Silent Magician is no problem.

If against BEWD users you just banish the core of card such as Cosmo Brain, I always do that and they auto surrender. Good Luck :)

A comment from Master Book:
I was able to catch King of the Games easily using this version on December 3 of that month. The version requires more player skill, but also mostly general knowledge about all decks goals so do not make wrong play. I recommend you use it if you have general knowledge of the goal. Another thing that helps a lot this deck is the skill, you always try to use it when catching the master with Eternity and thus pull a book from the gy to be able to fulfill its cost of activation. Always try to discard the book of rising magic to fulfill the trickster's invocation requirement, if necessary.

The combo of double power in the deceiver manages to go through all the high attacks of the goal, it is good to be aware of this. Always take the master using eternity. And always give priority to the raise if you are to start, as you will be getting 1 more card when you use it in your favor (so that any of the 3 cards assists in the situation). Well, that's it.

A comment Yu[M]mY:
Just like old spellbook, but i'm using restart to get a new hand if brick, the main combo is fool prophecy to get reaper and DMC, i used galaxy cyclone to prevent dna surgery.

A comment from GNCell:
Description: Spellbook took me some time to reach KOG. First few day of legend full of seal tomb skill with all type of deck, this skill completely kill spellbook. After few days, legend is more on bandit vampire, i guess legend player realize there is less spellbook player amd switch to bandit skill.

At this time, spellbook deck reach Kog title at fast pace. I put two magical warrior as it can destroy dna surgery which counter spellbook completely. For mirror match at turn 2, the only way to summon silent magician is to set monster and special summon silent magician. Legend player tend to forget switch auto to on, and auto never trigger to ask player activate quickspell when opponent set monster. My advise for spellbook player, just switch toogle to on if you want to use spellbook.

A comment from ErickM:
The fool of prophecy is a great card not to brick and besides filing the deck and having enough cards to give the fate.

The deceiver helps you as it is a special summon and also helps you discard magical books for the graveyard and have enough cards to give the fate, as well as help you to give possible OTK's.

The princess was a great addition on the deck since it makes you deal well with decks with many pitfalls that would be a weakness in a version without it. Banning monsters is really the main thing to do with playing this version.

A comment from Luxun:

Very nice climb with this. It depends a lot on luck for opening with mid and the field, but tth and canadia can buy you time until that happens. Started with restart, but if you faced sb it's almost insta lost. Sealed tumbs deals so well with both sb and vamp that most of the time you only win because of that skill.

The best combo of this deck consists on having thunder vassal, stadium, and either rebounder or slugger (let's suppose you have slugger). Activate the field spell, special summon mythra, tribute summon slugger, search rebounder, activate mythra's eff so that you can tribute summon again. Tribute summon rebounder, special summon slugger from grave and search for dunker. Special summon dunker by returning rebounder to the hand. Attack the token for 1500 damage with dunker and then, supposing the opponent had one or zero monsters (if one it went to the grave by now thanks to dunker eff), attack directly with slugger for game. This combo won me many games early, between turns 2-6.

A comment from Hęłł Kãį§əř:
U.A.s are not OTK, so I preferred to use Cyber Style again. You almost have Stadium in your hand at the first turn, so before you special summon a monster, activate Cyber Style to make the Porto Cyber Dragons gain 500 ATK. Beatdown, Destiny Draw and Sealed Tomb are good skills though with U.A.
The only hard match is against Spellbook... and maybe Vampire... and Masked Hero too... only :)

A comment from TjTier0:

Used Mermail SSA to get to legend but struggled with consistency. Switched to UA and swept through legends. UA slugger is the MVP and should be your primary monster.

1 snowman helped when going 1st. Lost once to Vampires and Once to Blue Eyes. Beatdown helped with getting over Blue Eyes decks. Would possibly use Sealed Tombs if i had it.

A comment from McBobX:

Vampires don't need any explanation now. The only thing I want to note about them is they have a very low chance against backrows, so running Sealed Tombs or Cyber Style (new version, like last season) didn't help me much. Bandit in the other hand, was useful in such situations, as Grace only cannot get rid of them.

Decided to put more Canadia and Xing Zhen Hu to also disrupt my opponent (not only him disrupting me, lol). There are many players running the new stall deck just to counter Vampires, so be aware of that.

A comment from IIINC:
For those new to Sealed Tomb, use Sealed Tomb in anticipation of graveyard-related play. You’ll likely use Sealed Tomb at the end of your first turn against Spellbooks as they get the most amount of momentum from using Spellbook of Fate - especially its banish option. This works well against BEWD decks as blocking their Silver’s Cry can cement your win.

While Sealed Tomb vampires isn’t anything new, it is worth mentioning that the KC Cup # 2 player had a third gozuki for mid-ranged play. For those of you who don’t have a third Gozuki, Sphere Kuriboh can help.

However, it is worth noting that this has less successful with Bandit Keith’s “Bandit.” It seems that offense-oriented decks need that third Gozuki if they wish to go beyond 20 cards for their deck and include another boss monster (in this case, Vampire Grimson).

A comment from RCF • Dieded:
During this month, Vampire is still good. They always adapt easily. But against Silent Magician, it may have problem handling it. Posthumous army is better choice since you can easily activate it every single turn.

A comment from Gowtu99:
A standard Vamp deck but with more backrow. I choose for Destiny Draw because there is always a card in your deck that will help you like Drowning mirror force or Enemy controller. Canadia helps a lot against many decks so i choose to put 2 of them in my deck.

I also put a Sphere Kuriboh in case of OTK decks with Hey Trunade or other backrow removals. Also i think 3 Gozukis is better so you can special summon your high level monsters without tribute.

A comment from Doraemon:
I like vampires for its consistency which my previous masked heroes KOG deck lacked, the chess-like playstyle that requires a player to think thoroughly before making a move due to its life-point spending and a lot of once per turn effects nature has made this deck a bit difficult for beginner but it's certainly powerful and fun.

There are two cards that I insist putting in that some might disagree, the first one being vampire grimson, I don't really see lots of grimson throughout my climb, but I think it's so important against mirror match, as a safe opening and adds a layer of protection which the decks lack (as the deck doesn't really mind send card to the graveyard sometimes, but when it comes to protecting a grace/vamp or even itself, it's absolutely clutch), the searching nature of this deck makes it viable to put in just one of this for an extra valuable option.

The second card that I see even less people playing is simultaneous loss, to me it's a must as it doesn't only serve as a defensive option that can be eliminate any card on the field during either's player turn, it also helps to set up your graveyard to boost the consistency even higher.

So far I have not run into any hard counter, the deck i hate the most is probably spellbook as they could banish important cards and disrupt your whole plan, the silent magician is also a problem as this deck relies so much on spells, but with smart play and vamp to suck up the lv.8, it's still alright.

A comment from pharmacist:
ike last month, vampires are too good for fast KOG climb.
I switched between bandit and sealed tombs according to the number of spell books I was facing.
Canadia and Widespread ruin deal nearly with everything you may face on the meta right now.

A comment from . J.afedo:
.The main idea is go agressive and make them spent their backrow and use bandith at last. Thats why the 2 econs and canadias. For stall and endless trap hell decks always declare trap with princess when they actived their effect with odion you know the card and you can play around it, also when they actived their trap you use canadia from the grave and put more pressure and make them spent more backrow.

Magic deflector is for mirror, SB and heroes. Btw, my kog rank was against last gamble heroes and he opened with mask and backrow removal and I open with Magic deflector so he use the first mask but the second one got negated so I won next turn with a vampire vamp.
