Duel Links King of Games decks, how to reach King of Games, tips for being a King of Games duelist.
update 02/05/2019

A comment from Hepo:
Note: Draw power is important, so summoning Vyon and dumping Celestial is the priority, and always use Destiny Draw when possible (unless you can end), if you don't draw into a monster your backrow is there to save you.

A comment from Mr. D:
The only thing that I made diferent from the rest, and it makes a great diference, is that I run 2 Forbidden Chalice. It has alot of sinergy with this deck and against top decks these days. Like getting Koa'ki Sandman get of the field to use traps, stop Vampires...

I used last gamble, kuriboh cards help you to survive the turns you need to be able to use Last Gamble. Thanks to yugi_duellinks for the idea.

A comment from Zuggernaut:
Hey, just it KoG with a Fusion masked change variant. Fun deck. Proper play allows you to play out of most scenarios. Switcheroo is a must for putting back Mali or Poly if you have Vyon.

A comment from Malleus:
Notes:
The ideal board is black falcon, another of the monsters, and a token. You can set toggle button to on to activate aerial recharge right after you pay its cost for the turn. The hardest matchup is koaki meiru. Sonic boom can net you a bunch of cheesy wins, especially if you activate it during the damage step against something with low defense.

A comment from Kappalamda:

Pretty fun deck and easy to make synchro plays. Lp boost guarantees that wyvern starts with 3100 Atk although if summoned early it easily gets destroyed by card effects so Armades is safer early. Having 0 equips means they are not heavily countered by silent decks. Stardust shines on Koaki and Yubel matches

A comment from Lashie:
Notes: Proof that you don't need a "Tier 1 Championship Deck" to KOG.
No strategy here. Summon a monster. Set all your backrow, hope opponent doesn't have Hey Trunade Only 2 Ojama Blue because I don't have a 3rd one.

Noble Knight

A comment from Anton:
Surprisingly after getting beaten with several decks (Masked heroes, Vampires, BEWD and Spellbooks) and ranking up and down between legend 1 and 2, I hit kog this season with one of my favorite decks - Noble Knights.

Running Sphere Kuriboh is a must as it helped me to avoid otks or having more control about when and how using reinforcements skill, I only have 1 Kuriboh but I'd like to run 2 instead of the D.D. Assassin.

I have always thought that this deck is really good and hard to beat and it makes me very happy to have found a viable way to play it in the current meta.

Radion Control

CurraheeLast GambleJan 5

A comment from Currahee:
This is an absolutly control deck against any top tier. (Koa'ki Meiru has to think very well when we use each card...)

I use two P. Canadia and TTH too, because an extra summon (for the Sacred Soldier or defense) and the second TTH for the skill cost or counter trap cost; and of course in addition to this, there is a higher chance in the starting hand.
Sea Horse make plus drawing and search for its or Radions, and in many cases I could use it several times for because M. Accelerator's effect. That extra card is good for counter against monster effects too. For this, the Ultimate Providence is a great valuable and useful card in this deck.
Backrow cleaner, tilter : Xing Zhen Hu and G. Cyclone.

Main card is Radion with really cool effect. Thunder Sea Horse, Radion and Morphtronic Accelerator (I have just 2) have a key chain connection. Sphere Kuriboh is an another defender against the backrow cleaner decks or Silent Magicians or Jinzo or any boss.

The last essential help and rescue is the relationship between Diana's and the Sacred Soldier's effects.

Paleozoic

Gummy_Bears!Chain ReactionJan 31

A comment from Gummy_Bears!:
There are many versions of Paleozoic out there, but win ratio with this version is incredible. Its competitive advantage lies in the flexibility. Each card usually can be useful in at least a couple of different ways depending on the situation. I'll address that for each card, very briefly.

  • The ability is Chain Reaction to chip away life! Puts under pressure and helps a lot

  • Paleos core

  • 2x wall of D, pure gold, and can summon a paleo

  • dust tornado can pop annoying back row, set traps for the following turn, and summon a paleo

  • curse and windstorm can either stop an opponent from attacking, summon a paleo, and allow our paleo monsters to take advantage of low defenses during our damage step.

  • wetlands are mandatory. 2x is enough, as we draw and thin out our deck with paleo & weaken opponents monsters a lot

  • 1x o'lantern, good beater and destroys one monster. Limit to 1 since it does not protect us during opponents turn

  • 1x HERO as we need more back row removal, good to send traps to the GY and saves us from Jinzo and Lava Golem

  • 2x amazoness, mandatory(!!!) major damage and can defend, good vs big blue eyes, anki, koa'ki etc...

A comment from Damwolf:
Long time reader, first time poster. Seems like alot of people have forgotten what SSA does, so had plenty of rage quit once they realised their anki can't kill the whale.

The deck revolves around the whale, he is your MVP and best chance at victory. Try to get fishborg planter into the graveyard as quickly as possible and keep bringing him back to the field as he can get the whale into the graveyard from which he can be summoned to the field.

Remember ice dragons effect can discard an atlantean to destroy whatever was special summoned. Once the whale is summoned be patient, don't attack without SSA being activated unless there are no face downs. Finally got a bit of abyssmegalo in there for the occasional otk. Good luck and happy dueling.

A comment from GARUNIX:
I started from gold and lost 3times until KOG (ezz). Most important things. Use Silent sword slash desensive or if you are sure that you'll win the game. Try to summun silent swordsman and negate every spell. Don't speculate on a bluff. Try to defend silent swordsman with everything you have.

It's important because if Lvl 7 comes to fast you'll lose. I use Silent swords man 2 times. It has two reasons. 1: Two are enough because you can get him with silent sword slash. 2: I don't have enough money to buy him a second time :( . I would be happy about a donation. :). I wish you all good luck. Don't fear other decks. Especially koaki because this deck is based on spells. With your ability you can shuffle lvl 7 or 5 in your deck back.

They were never meta to begin with. Kinda like Mermails, hyped because of what happened in the TCG/OCG, only to do mostly nothing in DL.

I don't understand those salty pathetic dudes that only said "konami is greedy" and bunch of stupid things. i don't defend konami they are not saints. but being this stupid?. come on the most strong deck right now is really cheap, you can build any competitive deck without expensive real money. it's not konami fault that you love blue eyes ultimate dragon and spend 15000 gems only to get it.
Master Shamo
I hopet that the limit for every card to be 1 and the deck wtith 30 cards only .. only some cards to allowed to have some copy like blue eyes white dragon that is need to fusion summon or cards that have effect with other copy of themselfs ... than u will see how good yugioh will be .. then u will see how everyone will enjoy the pvp .. thats will be what yugioh need to be sucessful .. ( this is my opinion nothing more nothing less )

in a deck with 40+ card is ok .. i said some cards to have allowed to be 3 copy polymerization i think need that , but this is just a dream my friend .. just a dream of a old shool yugioh player :p :p :p

your idea is great in my opinion the best duels are +10 turns but less than 20. Its just that konami wants to make people play the game because duels aren't taking so long so.......We need a an official trinity format where you can use each card once and the deck must be 30 cards or 60(tcg)
<< Anonymous(Master Shamo)
i disagree Reply
so you basically want archetypes to die out. that would just make every player play the same deck. the same best 15 lv 4 monster in the game and the the best 15 backrow cards (with some varieties going around) and then all the f2p whiners (all due respect to f2p player - i'm one as well) would still complain about being unable to get the more expensive cards and ofc losing
<< Anonymous(Master Shamo)
i disagree Reply
but i would agree with the 10-20 turn duel idea. the problem with this is that it would just make the game too expensive and too repetitive. not to mention every deck would be running mind scan, again making it even more repetitive. it would basically mean the death of duel links

As I said before:
1) Last ban list update only limited R cards.
2) then EX structure packs became purchasable with gems; the cost of it went down from 10 bucks to 6$.
3) They have also increased the drop rate of gems. What does that tell you? Duel Links is doing pretty well.

Which is the strongest deck right now?
Answer: Koa'ki Meiru.
You can get it for free.

Actually, they are doing very fine. Last ban list update only limited R cards, then EX structure packs became purchasable with gems; the cost of it went down from 10 bucks to 6$. They have also increased the drop rate of gems. What does that tell you?. I think you people are blinded by hate.

I think the recent ban list and skill rework are going on the right track. Looking at the kog list, it's one of the most diverse one. There are still some meta deck that outright stomp other decks but that's normal they have a better consistency. Sincerely hoping for a limit on vampire and koa'ki next. We don't need tier 0 / 1 decks.

First you point out how so many decks are getting KOG. Then you want vampire and koaki on the ban list. This sounds like a contradiction. The fact that we have all of these different decks doing so well should tell you that we don't need any other limits.

Currently 166 kog players submited on this website. 44 are tier 1 deck (26%). 43 are using tier 2 deck (25%). I am aware a lot of people don't submit their kog deck here. But with just this, you can see how 2 decks are overwhelming the majority of other archetypes. And those decks aren't doing well, because they don't have enough support cards to compete. That's why i want those tier 1 limited.

Vamp is not even tier 1 anymore tbh. Karakuri, koaki and bb are. And I didn't think any of those need some nerf.
Wacko Tsunami
The current meta is not bad at all. Even if Koa'ki Meirus are the top deck right now, I don't encounter them too often.

I'm seeing a lot of Karakuris, Buster Blader, vampires, silent magician and yes... even some Ankis lol

well yeah bruh, Im not encountering koa'kis as often as I encountered sylvans and fur hire, which is very good for the game. But even so, Ive been playing a lot against them even this last day of the season with my alt account. They are pretty relevant.

hmmmmm just by taking a look at this kog list I realized how diverse is the current meta, plenty of decks are viable. Koa'kis might be the strongerst atm but they do not 'shut down' other decks as amazoness onslaught did.

That's what the ban list do. Glad people acknowledge current meta diversity and not 🔥ing that it's not.
