Deck Tier List

The strongest decks by far in Shadowverse Worlds Beyond this August are Runecraft Spellboost, Rhinoceroach Forestcraft, Mid-range Swordcraft, and Mid-range Abysscraft.

Havencraft and Dragoncraft Are Recommended for Beginners

Havencraft, Dragoncraft, and Abysscraft are relatively easy Classes to play. Therefore, if you're a Shadowverse beginner, it's recommended to start with these Decks.

Forestcraft, Portalcraft, and Runecraft Are for Advanced Players

Decks like Forestcraft, Portalcraft, and Runecraft require a lot of thinking during a Match, making them difficult Decks to play compared to others. They are recommended for advanced players who have been playing since the previous Shadowverse game.

Deck Environment and Metagame

A Balanced Environment

Currently, Decks are able viable in the meta. While there are Decks that standout, many can be handled with matchups and builds, and since there is no specific Deck that is a clear answer to the current meta, it safe to say that the current meta is quite balanced.

Matchups are Key

In a balanced meta state, you need to pay attention to the matchups between each Deck. Whether it's in Ranked Matches or tournaments, predicting which Decks are prevalent and deciding on your Deck is extremely important.
