Right now, the meta is being defined by a handful of powerhouses. The top decks you absolutely need to be prepared for are Spellboost Runecraft, Mode Abysscraft, Loot Swordcraft, and Crest Haven.

Best Deck Class for Beginners: Havencraft and Dragoncraft

If you're just starting in Shadowverse Worlds Beyond, We recommend getting your feet wet with Havencraft or Dragoncraft since their game plans are generally more straightforward and easier to pick up. If you've played card games before, Abysscraft is another powerful and solid choice to consider.

For Advanced Players: Forestcraft, Portalcraft, and Runecraft

Forestcraft, Runecraft, and Portalcraft are complex deck classes that reward players who can think several turns ahead. Likewise, the new Loot Swordcraft from the Heirs of the Omen expansion may have a steep learning curve, but it's incredibly powerful in the hands of an experienced player.

Aランクの画像Tier2[Strong Contenders]

Bランクの画像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.

Decks that are few in number due to reasons like insufficient deck power or unrefined builds, but still have a certain presence.
