Forum:2010-2011 Future Tier Decks

Which decks will hit the tiers in the near future? Storm of Ragnarok sure gives a big hint. I believe Scraps and The Six Samurais will make there appearance ('bout time Six Sams). So what decks do you think will hit tier status? -- DED Dragoon((Leaving Me Messages Are Often Left Here)

Dragunity should work as tier 2. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 06:00, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Skull Servants Not sure about them being tier 1, but I think they could be a solid tier 2 at least with Wightmare coming out. NNaturia should be a meta soon. Also, I've been dueling my friend's Mist Valley deck and I must say, I think the could become a meta very soon. Skullvarnish (talk • contribs) 06:05, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Mist Valleys...Skull Servants...I don't really think so...DED Dragoon((Leaving Me Messages Are Often Left Here) 12:26, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Scraps as tier 2. Recycling should be pretty good with the new cards like Dark Hole and etc. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 13:05, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

DED, you've obviously never gone against a Mist Valley deck. Apex Avain plus Thunderbird is hard to stop if they use stall cards. Skullvarnish (talk • contribs) 03:49, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

• You've obviously never played a proper Tier 1 deck if you think Mist Valley or Skull Servant even have a shot.--YamiWheeler (talk • contribs) 10:33, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

X-sabers, Machina, Naturia, & Burn might be the future Top Tiers. I keep hearing Mist Valley might be top tier, but that's not likely. Mostly because they are a slow out of the starting gate. Who knows really. Scraps might be top tier too, but right now they are VERY slow, plus its a new archetype more cards are soon to follow. It's anyone's guess at this point, we will have to wait and see. Automation44 (talk • contribs) 07:45, September 10, 2010 (UTC)Automation44

• Dragunities are looking to go places once the right amount of support is released in the TCG. Otherwise, the meta will remain pretty much the same as what it's developing into the last 3 weeks.--YamiWheeler (talk • contribs) 10:33, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Fabled Uprise

I don't see anyone even considering fabled decks to put up a fight! In my opinion once the cards that I'm waiting are released in TCG they're gonna go straight to the top... Blackwings are getting more cards as soon as starstrike blast is released. I love the fact that just about any deck has the potential to be top tier one. It all really comes down to peoples deck building skills... and the right cards on the side deck!

I was going to mention fabled you know. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 13:06, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

No Jurracs, no Fabled? In my opinion, after HA04 is out in spring/summer, they will become top tier, as they will have their full support IonCharge (talk • contribs) 18:38, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Fableds are really efficient. They can get out almost any level synchro twice or more...ON THE FIRST TURN. They'll definetly go very, very far.

--Drew-Gi-Oh! (talk) 18:42, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, they're decent. They need more support cards though..I honestly think The Fabled is a tad better.DED Dragoon((Leaving Me Messages Are Often Left Here) 19:45, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

If more Ice Barrier cards come out like the 3 Generals, they can probably be tier 2 since they have so much variety. People would be able to play them in different methods.Dj q-pid (talk • contribs) 14:04, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Well anybody considered worms? They have a great amount of flip power in them. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 17:13, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

I see Karakuria and Scraps being the next top tiers. Is it me, or are there too many Machine Archetypes ever since 5ds started? Adamtheamazing64 (talk • contribs) 21:01, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

You don't mean that Scraps are a machine archetype, right? They only have 2 Machine-type members: Scrap Recycler, which doesn't count, and Scrap Hunter which SUCKS. Runer5h (talk • contribs) 22:47, September 12, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h

Don't forget the warrior archetypes too. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 21:22, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

With Ojama Trio and Magical Cylinder at 2, I believe Chain Burn Decks are coming back, it's just too good right now...the endless possibilities. User:Goblinpunch787

I'd love to see the Darklords at tournaments. They just Pwn! Fawlker 16:59, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Karakuri have very little support at the moment and need more spell and trap support. They won't be top tier unless they get some sort of godly exclusive in the form of a sneak peek card, or an extremely broken exclusive. Or both. IonCharge (talk • contribs) 20:33, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Karakuris aren't going anywhere. They'll be as potent as the current Amazoness decks. Such bad effects.|'DED((Leaving Me Messages Are Often Left Here) 23:31, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Wait where's Dragunity in all of this? I find them awesome with their equips and stuff. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 21:35, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Dragunities are pretty cool, at best they'll probably be a top t2. As for fabled, I can't seem them becoming especially popular. After playing with an OCG fabled deck for a couple months now, I can safely say they're an OTK-or-die archetype, and they lose too easily to most high-tiering decks, since they don't have much going for them beyond basic beatdown. Neonian (talk • contribs) 13:04, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

You might want a look at the 2nd deck on this page: http://shriek.twoday.net/stories/11891348/ -Resk (talk • contribs) 13:07, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

I don't see what this shows tbh, It's pretty much just fabledsworn with dandylion and glow-up teched in for no real reason. The deck also seems really poorly built (2 krus/kushano?! 1 PoA?????!!!?!?!) and how it got second place is beyond me. Must've been a really good player. Either way, Fabled get crippled by necrovalley/royal oppression/kristya (who will be immensely popular once agents come out)/almost all forms of destruction and after playing them for so long I can safely say they're overrated. Neonian (talk • contribs) 13:17, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Necrovalley only really affects Krus tbh, the rest of them pretty much only target themselves, Necro-Fabled is a plausable deck type due to going Royal Tribute -> Swarm-Resk (talk • contribs) 13:25, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

But then they'd lose access to almost all their methods of making ragin/valkyrus, since they depend on krus to SS the required materials. They'd also lose PoA so they wouldn't be able to reuse anything.

i hate sets

if a person has to rely on a set to have a descent deck then they need to practice more. they are flawed and they take the verioty out that i loved about this game. its a cheap copout. u wanna prove your good than build your own deck don't wait 4 konomi to do it for you

I assume by set you mean archetype, and "relying" on them doesn't make you a bad player, it makes you a smart player. they make archetypes for the purpose of being used together, Sure there are decks that don't rely on archetype and are/were good (like teledad, gigavise, synchro cat, J&D, etc) but many archetpye decks stay top tier(ish) every format, blackwings had it, glads had it, sabers had it, and if this pattern stays, this format, nother archeytpe deck will have it--Berfomet (talk • contribs) 21:43, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Every smart player has to rely on something. Otherwise they won't be smart in the first place. And anyways I hope another archetype deck will have it. Dragunity sounds like a good canidate along with Scraps. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 02:49, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

At the moment...

Its still very up in the air as to what deck will take over the meta. I think Kurakuris will do very good. Its funny because everyone said the same thing about X-sabers when they first hit the seen. Now, one would not think to add them on the list of top tier decks with BF and LS. Dragunity might take the place by storm. I also feel that if no one takes in consideration how extremely awesome fables are you should check again. Scraps are big right now, after Starstrike they might get better or stay the same. When it really comes down to it, its the players using the right cards. Not which archetype has the most broken cards...If anyone here does there homework...BF where killing the OCG meta until this nifty little deck called Dandy-warrior came along. Over in the states, people are dropping there BF decks for Infernities despite the fact they lost a launcher...we all just have to wait and see.TheDivineDuelist (talk • contribs) 03:06, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it's up to the people to decide. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 13:12, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think by STBL and STOR, Scraps will be top tier, (Scrap Twin Dragon ftw!) along with Six Sams, and Fabled will be either Tier 1 or Tier 2. I'm also expecting Machina Gadget staying around for a lot longer. IonCharge (talk • contribs) 16:09, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Scraps sounds really great for top tier. They swarm and real good swarm cards. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 23:13, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

I think Scraps would be added in top teir.. because thy synchro and recycle thereby keeping a hand.... and when scrap searcher comes out it will be ridiculous. FREE LIGHTNING VORTEX..... Fableds are amazing...... Six Sams will take a while to get legit, but thy certainly have potential. And it might just be me but i think Dragunuity is weak... I prefer Jurracs over them......

Six Samurais anybody? With True Six Samurais coming out, I'm pretty sure they will be coming back. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 23:37, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Six Sams are already effective, just nobody uses them, I have been using Six Sams for quite a while, and even without the newer 'True Six Sams' they work just fine, i rarely lose. 78.144.36.32 (talk) 13:23, October 22, 2010 (UTC) (doz bate in disguise)

True Six Samurai will propel Six Sams to top tier. I'm expecting them to have a whole format to themselves. They're ability to swarm, destroy, and control is pretty large. They lock down S/Ts with ease (Shogun Shien and TSS Shien) and can control field well. IonCharge (talk • contribs) 19:56, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Gladiator Beasts

lol what about Glads i think their good ive been playin em for a while now and i hope if they come out wih six samurais they will beef up glads to because these two decks came out at about the same time

Karakuri

I went to the STBl sneek peak and got every comon karakuri times 3 and two merchants and three castles with Klock. These guys are devastating when combining them with the old Clown battle position archetype and Labyrith of Nightmare. They have easy ways of searching and draw power, loads of destruction power, and can stall for a long time. An endless supply of machines are waiting to take back the throne of tier one in yugioh. Adamtheamazing64 (talk • contribs) 17:14, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

dragunitys

im currently testin out dragunitys and i gotta say OMG with the right build these guys are beast amazing set up with dragon canyon easy combo set up with little over extending and you can easily dish out 5k or more damage in a turn hell just with a dragon canyon and a brandistock in my hand i can play dragon canyon dis brandistock search out dux bring em out equiped with brandistock and boom with 2 cards you have a 1900 atk double hitter dragunitys are definately gonna be tier 1 IMO Raiga (talk • contribs) 19:44, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Nordics are certainly gaining a big boost in the tcg especially with the new exclusive tuner and with that trap which allows you to add a nordic monster from your deck to hand, summoning the gods are not r hard thing and even the nordics are weak we have the nordic lights.Heaven's Judgement (talk • contribs) 21:10, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this format should definitely be a defining format. Six Samurais, Scraps, Karakuri, Nordics, Dragunitys, etc. I wonder how Konami will deal with all of this in the March 2011 format Gateway of the Six at 1.|DED (Leaving Me Messages Are Often Left Here) 21:11, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

dont leave out naturia

naturia could become a tier 2 with their multiple stun effects. though... the main thing of them i've seen so far are just quickdraw plants variants i like what i see in the nordic cards but i dont see them becoming metaKazisaki (talk • contribs) 19:46, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Why has anybody not mentioned Quickdraw deck i mean clearly look at them they have the potential to summon 3 syncron monster per turn or get a shooting star dragon with just 2 cards.. well although i like fabled decks but my vote's on Quickdraw deck :)......

I like Quickdraw, but I think it's far more potent when combined with other Archetypes. Quickdraw Monarchs for example. I think Karakuris, Scraps, Dragunities, and True Six Samurai are going to dominate the Meta come March.Bear Sounds (talk • contribs) 02:01, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

I think Machine Emperors will be tier 1,mif the Imperial Soldiers come out the will kick ass.71.194.60.36 (talk) 03:22, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Structure Deck: Dragunity Legion came out june in japan,so it mite be on the way

it's officially sceduled for march 10th-ish-Resk (talk • contribs) 00:10, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

In MY opinion.....

I think that Fabled decks have the potential to become tier 1, now that they have the support from Duel Terminal 4 you can easily create a situation of a FTK...... Lighness (talk • contribs) 16:58, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

The thing is, Fabled are too inconsistent. Ironically, the most consistent build happens to be merchant monster mash, which says a lot of about the Archetype. They can easily take duel 1 but it's always a downhill climb from there. There's so many cards that can disrupt their strategy and they can't always side in cards to counter them since it'll slow the deck down. Much like Infernities now, they will see a few tops here and there but won't be considered a true tier 1 deck.CleverJokes (talk • contribs) 18:20, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Normal Monster Mash'll be Tier 1, for sure. 86.157.247.141 (talk) 18:24, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Samurias, Plants, and blackwings will still be big. Hopefully if we get structure deck 20 faries will take off. My favorite new ter 1 deck is dragunitys. they can synchro for a level 8 every turn with dragon canyon

76.76.87.85 (talk) 03:41, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, Fableds are very consistent. And you can play them with almost any deck you want: Fabled Plants, FabledSworn, Fabled World, Fabled FTK, Fabled Merchant OTK, Ragin Turbo, the list goes on and on.

As for future tiers I think:

Tier 1

• Blackwings
• Debris-Plants
• Six Samurai
• Agents

Tier 1.5

• X-Sabers (haven't been seeing too many of them lately)
• Gravekeepers
• Fabled
• Dragunity

Tier 2

• Lightsworn
• Light-Gemini-Beatdown
• and some other stuff I can't think of...

For the end of 2011, (ignoring any cards that are untested, and banlists), I'd aggree with ShortCircuit's list, for the most part, but change it slightly for a more TCG enviroment

Tier 1

• Blackwings
• Debris-Plants
• Six Samurai
• X-Sabers
• Agents

Tier 1.5

• Gravekeepers
• Fabled
• Dragunity

Tier 2

• Lightsworn
• Light-Gemini
• Machina Gadget
• Scraps

Infernities in tier 1.5 or 2? They are still viable, if used significantly less nowadays. And where would you put a good Disaster Dragons build on that list I wonder? Just a thought. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 18:56, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Infernity control would be about 2->2.5, while it has huge negation power, and a clean launcher is game, they're just too easy to stop by the other Tier 1 decks. As for disaster dragon, I'd say about the same, as it's not changed much, and is just being outpaced by the newer archtypes-Resk (talk • contribs) 20:12, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Really any deck type can be top teir

I think ojamas can compete with other top tears, with the new DREV beats support they can be an amazing synchro fodder/OTK.... and Honest is pretty funny with it aswell seeing as all ojamas are light attribute. Also aliens can compete if they can pop off enough "A" counters... The whole point is, any deck type can beat anyother deck type. It all depends on the player.

They're not discusissing top tier players, Decks man. And no, not any deck can be top tier, ojamas never were top tier and aliens are okay at best. I'd love to see Ojamas take on zombies in japan when plague came out >:) --Helix-king (talk • contribs) 13:27, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Tier just means strength in this context, right? So tier 2 is the best, tier 1 is okay, etc. I'd love to see some high-tier spellcasters, although their day is gone-they were quite fast at one point, but synchros and certain archetypes are far faster. I suppose we might see some mid-tier Norse Gods decks, although God based decks tend to have some key weakness that isn't too hard to exploit, perhaps we'll see the same thing with if Slifer becomes a usable card for the Egyptian Gods.BobaFett2 (talk) 18:29, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

I'm just saying any deck has potential to beat any other... I've won a few regional tournaments using ojamas as a turbo synchro deck... they have real potential to be a top tier how ever due to their inconsistency i would give them two at best

I thought tier two was the top tier? BobaFett2 (talk)

No one is top two is competitive.

Oh. Thanks.BobaFett2 (talk)
