How this tier list works

Every number comes from ranked matches played on YGO Omega, the same data behind our statistics page. Nothing is voted on or picked by hand.

Tiers follow meta share, measured against the most played deck of the season:

TierShare compared with the top deck
Tier 160% or more
Tier 230% to 60%
Tier 315% to 30%
Tier 45% to 15%

A deck also needs at least 0.5% of the meta to get a tier at all, so the top deck is always Tier 1 and a small format can't fill its tiers with fringe decks.

  • Meta share is the deck's share of deck-games. Each game counts once per player, and mirror matches count.
  • Win rate leaves mirror matches out, because a mirror always wins exactly half. The ± is its 95% confidence interval.
  • Decks are grouped by the archetypes they run, so a hybrid counts apart from pure builds.
  • Seasons: each ladder has its own season, so TCG and Genesys cover different date ranges.

What this list can't tell you

This is ladder play on a simulator, not tournament results. Players of every level are in it. It shows what you will face on the ladder, which is not always what wins a premier event.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Yu-Gi-Oh! deck right now?+

On the TCG ladder, Angelechy, with a 55.2% win rate at 10.6% of the meta. It has the strongest win rate once sample size is counted.

What is the best Genesys deck right now?+

Megalith / Magnet, with a 64.9% win rate at 0.3% of the meta. It has the strongest win rate once sample size is counted.

Is this tier list based on tournament results?+

No. It comes from ranked ladder matches on YGO Omega. That gives a far larger sample than tournaments, but it reflects ladder play, not premier events.

How are the tiers decided?+

By meta share compared with the most played deck: 60% of its share or more is Tier 1, 30% is Tier 2, 15% is Tier 3 and 5% is Tier 4. Decks under 0.5% of the meta get no tier.

Does a higher tier mean a stronger deck?+

Not always. Tiers measure popularity. Sky Striker is TCG Tier 2 with a 48.7% win rate, while Power Patron / Elfnote is Tier 4 at 55.7%.

How much does going first matter?+

Going first wins 53.5% of games on the TCG ladder and 56.8% in Genesys.

How often is the tier list updated?+

Every week, on this same page. Each week also gets its own meta report, and the statistics page shows the current numbers for TCG and Genesys between updates.

Where can I see decklists for these decks?+

The statistics page has sample decklists, card usage and full matchup tables for each deck.
