Deck Environment and Metagame
Meta Analysis
Loot Swordcraft Dominates the Early Meta
Loot Swordcraft kept its Tier 1 status from the previous meta and only got stronger with buffs, plus the nerf to Maddening Benison. Right now, it’s the deck to beat and the one shaping the current meta.
Earth Rite Evolution Runecraft Rising
With unmatched evolution generation and Restore synergy, Earth Rite Evolution Runecraft combines board control with consistent tempo. It is emerging as one of the strongest new Evolution archetypes introduced this expansion.
Abysscraft: Multiple Competitive Builds
Evo Abysscraft and Mode Abysscraft are both strong contenders, while Mid‑Range Abysscraft remains a good deck. Overall, this deck class has several builds that can stand toe-to-toe against the best decks from the current meta.
Portalcraft Damage Boosted by Beelzebub
Lishenna Portalcraft and Puppet Portalcraft have surged thanks to Beelzebub’s damage effect. Both decks now have the potential to break into Tier 1 depending on how the competitive ranks shift.
Havencraft Remains Strong, but Under Pressure
Even after the nerf to Ward Haven, the deck still delivers powerful Evolution and Ward synergy. Aether’s ability to flood the board made it one of the strongest decks at the start of the new season, but with Abysscraft steadily rising and other archetypes adapting to their tech, Havencraft now struggles against targeted counters and tougher matchups.
Deck Rankings | Tier List
The strongest decks in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond are Earth Rite Spellboost Runecraft, Loot Swordcraft, and Crest Havencraft.

Evaluation Criteria
Tier Criteria
| Tier | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Tier1 | [Top of the Meta] Boasts a high level of refinement and deck power, and is central to the meta. As a result, they are often countered and their decklists become well-known, but those that are difficult to counter tend to remain. |
| Tier2 | [Strong Contenders] Decks that have power comparable to Tier 1 decks, but have weaknesses such as matchup disadvantages against top-tier decks or a lack of consistency. They often move between Tier 1 and Tier 3 depending on changes in the meta. |
| Tier3 | [Solid Decks] Solid decks that have slightly less deck power compared to Tier 1 and Tier 2 decks, but each has its own strengths and can compete to some extent in the meta. |
| Tier4 | [Developing Decks] Decks that are few in number due to reasons like insufficient deck power or unrefined builds, but still have a certain presence. |
| Tier4 | [Lower-Tier Decks] Decks that are significantly outclassed by other decks in the current card pool. They are waiting for new card additions or card adjustments for a chance to break into the higher tiers. |
