That is not a meta. Who want to post a kog deck does, but the meta is constituted of decks that top at tournaments. I posted à Stromberg deck because it’s fun, and with the motivation of inspiring other Stromberg players, but not at all because it’s meta.
I guess Because we have data in tournaments or in kc cups on how much those effective decks are played but ranks don’t provide viable data (every day the decks change in ranked)
It is a confusing matter for both of the reason you guys have stated: KoG climbing is hard or impossible to measure with so many things involved, and tournaments that can be measured are not the format the game uses.
The tier list should be used only if you wanna play tournaments, for normal climbing it is better to not to look at tier lists
