* The Meta Championship Series (MCS) is the largest, most competitive monthly event. Top cut in an MCS means reaching Top 32 with a minimum win-rate of 71%. KC Cups are the most competitive in-game event. Top cut in a KC Cup means reaching Top 100 Global, usually with a winrate of 55+% over 200+ games.
This is an automatically updated snapshot of the meta, using data from DLM Tournaments, KC Cups, and the King of Games ladder.
Tier 1
The most successful decks currently, with power levels ranging from 12 to 30.*
Tier 2
Decks with power levels between 5 and 12.*
Tier 3
Decks with power levels between 3 and 5.*
* The power rankings are computed based on each deck's placings in DLM events, KC cups, and the King of Games ladder. The more competitive and the more recent the event, the more points each deck type earns for placing well in it. The exact power score for a deck type is normalized by taking a deck type's total power and dividing it by the cumulative power of all decks, so a deck with a power score of 5 comprises 5% of the current format's total power.
