Last edited by Yamisly on Sat Apr 07, 2012 4:45 pm; edited 6 times in total

i would say DWs and six sams are tier 1

agent varients are probably tier 1.5 i think (earth WASNT THAT BIG of a hit)

t.g. stun is probably tier 2 now due to tengu getting semied and striker getting limited :/

in TCG infernitities arent really used but i would say they are tier 2 ._.

lightsworns could be tier 1.5 now

scrap could be tier 3 now

GKs are about tier 1.5 i would say

thats about all i got @_@

oh yea i myself would call dragunities tier 1.5 but thats jusut me i think @_@

DW aren't tier 1 just because they won 1 YCS. And I don't think the Six Sams are tier 1

Maybe, I'll wait to get more oppinions from people

lightsworns could be tier 1.5 now

Needs to be proven i think

GKs are about tier 1.5 i would say

I wasn't quite sure about this but i'll put them under 1.5

i'm not saying they are tier 1 because they have won a YCS i'm saying they are tier 1 because they ahve really been tier 1 scicne before the YCS really.

and sams are still tier 1 because they can go into shien and the naturia beasts in 1 turn if done right and if thats not a good enough reason then nothing will be for you @_@.

well with JD unlimited and lumina at 2 i figured it was obvious they would be tier 1.5 now @_@

but after reading you reply to some of the thing i said (mainly the thing about six sams) it sounds like you jsut put these things on your own opion, it might be better to jsut make a poll about this stuff instead @_@

I'm obviously not going to change the whole list just cause 1 person says so. If other people agree on what you are saying, then I'll change it.

Fair enough?

fair i jsut think tis obvious that the YCS (and yes the YCS doese predetermin what the tier list will be to a degree) prooved that rabbit, inzektors, and wind-ups wotn be the only tier 1 decks @_@ heack wind-ups and inzektors didnt even get top 4 XD so they wont be the only tier 1 decks this format that much i'm sure about :/

We need an equation for this...
How about...
T=pt/c
Tier equals the number of places a deck hold in all YCS's this format times the number of times it tops divided by the number of YCS's it has appeared it? Then just rank them like that?

^ the problem with that is that we have had only 1 YCS so far right?

Not even a single Karakuri mention? At the very least, it's tier 2...

i think karakuri would be tier 3 actually :/

Karakuri below Agents and Blackwings? Haha, you're a funny man, mimgrim.

Agents don't really do anything. Their searcher is limited and the best play they can do without Hyperion is Venus + Gachi Gachi. WOAH, A 2000 ATK LEVEL 3, THAT IS SO AMAZING

Blackwings don't really do anything but swarm and synchro now.

Nothing that Karakuris have is on the banlist. They have searchers, deck thinners, 3-card combos that get out 3 2600 ATK beaters and 1 2100 ATK beater, their own superior Mirror Force, a Dark Bribe without a cost...should I continue?

agents have archlord krysta to you know........

That's your only counter? Every deck has the cards to stop Krystia, your argument is invalid.

if thats the case then every deck has cards to stop karakuris to @_@ as i know your refering to staples :/

Touche.
But every Fairy deck can use Krystia. Cloudians can use Krystia, but Cloudians aren't anywhere on that list. Don't give me the Shine Ball argument; Cloudians can get out Smoke Ball just as easily as Venus can get out Shine Balls. What makes Agents so special when it comes to Krystia?

If you have to rely on Krystia, then your deck isn't very good...

i was jsut giving you a example that they have more then just venus and hyperion plus most agent decks now are chaos varient and play TGUs and BLS to but my reason for saying krysta wasnt that they relied on him bt that they have more then jsut 2 big plays they can pull off

I wouldn't call plopping down a Krystia a "big play".

then your crazy lol krysta is rreally good this format cuase he can stop SSs :/ so bringing out krysta is a big play cause hes a great card and the argument that everdeck has cards to beaat isnt a valid argument either cause with that argument then BLS sitn a big play either

If Krystia is "really good", then why doesn't everybody play Krystia? Maybe because Agents can't really do anything else other than get out Hyperion and get out 2000 ATK level 3s?

The funny thing is that during this entire argument, you never once mentioned why Karakuris deserve to share the spot that with Harpies on the tier list. Karakuris have shown to be worthy contenders. They loop with Burei, they gain massive card advantage, and they can control the field by denying your opponent's attempts to stall and negates their card effects. I admit, as a long time Karakuri player, I'm a bit biased over here, but I fail to see how you think they deserve to be lower on the list than BLACKWINGS.

My opinion what the tiers will be this format

Tier 1: Wind-Up, Rescue-Dino, Bubble beat
Tier 1.5: Inzektor, Dark World, T.G. Stun
Tier 2: Darkworld, Evols, Chain Burn
Tier 3: Worms, Agents, Scraps

ok fine i'll consent they are tier 2

but agents are better for various reasons and they should be tier 1.5

they dont play krysta cause they are stupid or dont ahve enoguh fairies for krysta, but thing is if you destroy krysta he goese back to top of deck to be broguht out again :/ and agents have mroe then jsut hyperion and venus plays, most agents decks play TGU, and with TGU BLS they also have sycnrhons somewhat :/ and tell me what other deck other then agents could bring hyperion, krysta, and stardust out in one turn?

Bubblebeat has been in, what, one YCS? It didn't even top.
Karakuri's are simple to side and main against.
Maxx "C", Veiler, Cyber Dragon, System Down...

Maxx "C" and Veiler kill basically everything.
Then you can use Eradicating Aerosol against Inzektors.
Admittedly, Chimeratech kills it.

EVERY tier 1 deck is easy to side and main against. People already maindeck cards like Veiler, Maxx "C", Warning, Torrential, etc, so trying to give generic examples of generic cards that beat a tier 2 deck does absolutely nothing to support your argument, because most of those cards you just listed (or variants of System Down) can be mained and sided against every deck in the format.

Try harder.

System Down just has System Down. Chimeratech just has Chimeratech. Those alone knock down Karakuri's. In the end, Tier has little to do with what is good; just what tops the tournaments.

Trust me when I say Kararkuri are easy to side against yet still hard to beat. Very versatile deck, hell they don't even need the grave, so system down could prolly only help banish 2-3 monsters they control, not to mention they get out 1st turn naturia beasts. That mixed in with the traps they have, siding 1-2 Cyber dragons won't do anything.

Either way, if it is not run, it is not Tier, regardless of its powers.

ok well now that i think about the tier lsit yamisly has up there the moe mistakes i keep on seeing so

move DW to tier one tis deck i seriously tier 1 sure its easy to side against but what deck isnt?

move sams to tier 1 cause bringing out naturia beasts and shi en out is enough to make it tier 1 lol

t.g. stun is really tier 2 now

hero is jsut to vauge TBH

agents should be tier 1.5 for obvious reasons (honestly the limiting of earth wasnt that bad in some cases it oponed up ne room for agents lol)

evol should be tier 3

flamvell should be tier 3

scrap should be tier 3

harpier shouldnt be up there AT ALL it no where near tier 3 its tier 4 (fun deck)

infernity should be tier 2

doese any one agree with any of these things i stated? ._.

its only been one ycs this format

Don't agree with the Agents being tier 2, I run tour guide agents and they simply rape all the tier 1 decks, without exception. Rabbit can't do a damn thing vs them. Also some noob above said that Kristya is not a big play, errr hello Kristya shuts down 90% of the decks nowadays, plus is a 2800 beater, plus you can get out 3 Hyperions, 1 BLS and drop a Kristya for game in the same turn. They are very controlish deck and someone with good skills will rape everything. Agents rape every single deck in the 1.5 list without exception, simply they can't win vs Agents unless the Agent players draws the biggest ***** of a hand there is. I dueled what 15 Haertic decks and wasn't impressed because I won vs all of them both in single and match duels, Kristya and BLS make all the difference in power, Hyperion is there to make sure you will drop BLS or Kristya, tour guide is there to make sure you play everything in the deck. also Agents main 3 Thunder Kings and 2 Spirit Reapers.

Added Karakuri to tier 2. The reason they weren't on the list to begin
with, is because i simply didn't know anything about them or how good
they are.

Agents moved to tier 1.5
