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.

You seem to think that the only monsters that Karakuris have out at every possible given time are 3 Burei and 1 Haipa. That's like saying that Dino Rabbit has both Laggia and Dolkka out at every single possible moment during the duel, and will continue to have those two out until the very end. As a longtime Karakuri player, I can say that while Burei is the best play in the deck, it's not always the best play to make at every particular moment, so System Down and Chimeratech aren't always the answers. It's like saying Eradicating Aerosol kills Inzektors...they do, but how many people even sidedeck that card?

Because Inzektor plays rarely end with Insects and usually end with a Damsel in hand. Karakuri's usually end with plenty of Machines and use everything.

just gonna let every1 know inzektors is overhyped and easy as hell to counter.

{SARCASM}Yes, because the word of a thirteen-year old overrides data derived from tournament results.{SARCASM}

Sorry but this list is horribad... Why are trash decks like fableds and flamvell listed as tier 2?

I'm telling you, a mathematical formula would be the best way.

Multi-tournys? There's been ONE YCS this format.

D.D. Crow is at 3
shadow mirror is at 3
veiler is at 3
fiend chain is at 3
torrential tribute is at 2
chain dis is at 3
warning is at 2

theres more but you get the idea. Inzektors are prob going to be tier 2 considering all the counters to them..............

Am I the only one who counts the late Sept 2011 YCS's? Honestly, this format is not all that different from this one, other than less Planets and more water.

Last format doesn't count at all.

Gozen is at three.
Bottomless is at two.
Summon Limit is at three.
Rivalry is at three.
Mirror of Oaths is at three.
Torrential is at two.
Warning is at two.
Solemn is at one.

{SARCASM}Holy crap. Rabbit is Tier Two, also!
0.o{SARCASM}
O, and Inzektors do not target. Crow is not as useful as you would think.

No dude, you don't understand. Rabbitz is a deck that gets ridiculous advantage on the first turn of duel. Inzektors cant destroy opponents cards on turn 1.

Gruf. Just Gruf. A +2 and a set up for a Rank Five. That is all.

A rank 5 monster on turn 1 is not game changing in this meta.....

Hieratics are Tier 1 for sure when they come to the TCG.

I would have to disagree with that. Just stop their first summon or use maxx C, and you're good. They are far too dependent on each other.

So are Inzektor and they are tier 1

Inzektors aren't tier in TCG, only OCG. The tops they get in TCG always shows that they are having trouble competing with the big boys. I've never even seen them get top 4 tbh.

Instead of bitching Lethal, try and actually contribute to the list and the thread. I would like to hear your opinion, but you're doing it wrong. And the list I made was just for something to start with. I clearly said in the first post that I am not 100% familiar with every deck type out there.

So come on people. I know there are alot of decks missing on the list. And you probably disagree with something on the list, explain why.

ok well i'll try giving explanation to why i think certain ones should get put p or moved down

DW shoould be tier 1 for the fact that it did win a YCS (yes YCS does effect the tier list) and was able to beat a dino-rabbit deck which can easily side into macro cosmos or D-fissure easy, you get good beaters from them, discarding them becomes a plus instead of a minus (not including costs), garpha is a 2700 (3000 if gates is on field) beater who can be summoned very easily and when discarded you get a free pop, they can work very good with skill drain.

dragunity should be tier 1.5 for alot of reasons (but do note i am bias on dragunities because they my main decks and i think they should be tier 1 but most people here will disagree with that so i will setle for tier 1.5) like the fact they can get a beater with more then 2000 attack on the first turn and the turns after that, ravine is their own personal ROTA and foolish burial and turns dead draws into awsome top decks , if they can go first they can get certain advantages over rabbit , inzektor, and wind-up decks cause honestly if you can go first turn stardust against any of those decks they will have a hard time getting pass said stardust (rabbits will ned TGU or dark hole, inzektor will need hornet or dark hole but stardust will negate hornet, and WU will jsut have a awfull hard time getting pass stardust 2500 ATK ), they can pull off trident dragion OTK very easily, they legio for popping the oppents field, and they have so amny awsome tech cards its unreal

Crystal Beasts on Tier 3... obviously :<...

I'm not sure whether Ice Barriers are in Tier 1 or 2 seeing as the synchros are quite destructive with Gungnir and Brionac and the monster effects, Defender and Cryomancer can block off the opponent.

General Raiho also seems quite useful nowadays with his discard or negate effect that completely blocks off Infernity's and limits most people to X amount of effects per turn depending on their hand size.

people here will disagree with that so i will setle for tier 1.5) like
the fact they can get a beater with more then 2000 attack on the first
turn and the turns after that, ravine is their own personal ROTA and
foolish burial and turns dead draws into awsome top decks
, if they can go first they can get certain advantages over rabbit ,
inzektor, and wind-up decks cause honestly if you can go first turn
stardust against any of those decks they will have a hard time getting
pass said stardust (rabbits will ned TGU or dark hole, inzektor will
need hornet or dark hole but stardust will negate hornet, and WU will
jsut have a awfull hard time getting pass stardust 2500 ATK
), they can pull off trident dragion OTK very easily, they legio for

Yes of course YCS tops does effect the tier list.
But we've had 3 YCS so far (i think), Long Beach, Guadalajara and Lima.
In Long Beach the winner was Dark World.
In Guadalajara there was no Dark World in the top 16 (there was 1 in top 32).
And in Lima there was only 1 Dark World in the top 16.
So that's why I don't think that Dark World are tier 1.

And Dragunity tier 1.5? Sorry but that seems very biased.
I admit that I have never run Dragunity, but i've played against them
before and i do keep myself up to date with all the different YGO stuff,
and i don't think that they are any higher than tier 2. And one of your arguments is Stardust Dragon? Almost every deck has Stardust.
Just my opinion.

Poor Crystal Beast huh sakura? XD

And I don't know about Ice Barrier, never played against or anything.

For God's sake stop even discussing this topic, jeez I read the first 5 posts and saw endless retardness. And yes, I read to the end of the topic, only 2-3 posts were even worth looking at. Jeez, if you open holes in that bony thing you have in your circular part over your body called brain, you'll *this word has exceeded its tolerance limit -_-* deduce what's tier 1, 1.5, and what are decks that shouldn't be even on the list. And make your little brain also know that the meta isn't defined, there's a new trend every day, I can't reach final versions of decks because I'm constantly changing my deck for the new trends. Now use all that info above, and try to figure them out. Trust me, you'll get it, cause this is a format where bad players are pros, so all our levels are the same, now time to learn how to use the things zombies are always after, BRAINZ!

PS: Reborn, I'll kill you for making me read this topic.

yamisly stardust was jsut an example @_@ and actually the tier 1 deck you have up there dont even play sycnhros due to lack of tuners usually but even stardust was just an example of a good beater the tier decks would actually have some what of a ard time getting pass that dragunities can go into easily, but it looks like you ignored all my other arguments of why dragunities should be tier 1.5 :/ and something tells me you haven't gone against to many good dragunity decks if you have been able to go over them easily.......cause i will admit there are alot of people out there that jsut dont know how to play them good and you have yet to duel one of my dragunity decks which if i may say so are a work of art @_@ they are the archetypoe i know all the ins and outs of

honestly i wasnt really being bias, yes i admit i absolutly love dragunities, cause if i was being bias i would have said they belonged up there on tier 1 but i didnt i truth fully honestly believe they actually desrve tier 1.5 at least i mean cmon being able to go into a 2000 or higher beater every single turn is nothing to sneeze at and they also have the legio and aklys combo which inzektors are rip-off of
