Deck Rankings for Set 6 Apocalypse Pact
The strongest decks in the Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond Set 6 Apocalypse Pact are Loot Swordcraft, Evolution Forestcraft, Enhance Swordcraft, and Milteo Abysscraft.
Dragoncraft and Portalcraft Are Great for Beginners
If you’re new to the game or want to avoid mechanically demanding decks, classes like Dragoncraft and Portalcraft are excellent starting points thanks to their straightforward game plans and forgiving play patterns.
Forestcraft, Swordcraft, and Havencraft for Advanced Players
Classes such as Forestcraft, Swordcraft, and Havencraft require deeper decision‑making and a working knowledge of the game, which makes them more challenging to play. Loot Swordcraft in particular demands good technical skill, placing it firmly in the advanced‑player category.
State of the Metagame
Set 6 Meta Analysis
High-Powered Evolution Forestcraft Rises to the Top
With the addition of Althenia and Sathanid, this deck has gained incredible power in the late game. The pressure of playing Althenia right before Sandalphon is very hard for opponents to survive. Furthermore, even if the opponent fills their side of the table with followers, it is easy to break through their defenses using Sathanid or Cupitan, making this an excellent deck for picking up wins.
OTK Runecraft Takes a Huge Hit
One-Turn Kill (OTK) Runecraft, which used to consistently win the game in a single turn around turn 7, can no longer pull off its combo so early because its key combo card now costs more play points. This gives slower decks, which had completely disappeared from matches because they couldn't survive the sudden knockout, a real chance to shine again.
All Card Buffs and NerfsEnhance Swordcraft Remains a Popular Choice
Enhance Swordcraft is a powerful deck that fills your side of the table with threats while dealing instant damage using "Storm" followers. A particularly scary move is to pressure the opponent with Noel IV after activating Yidmetra, and then following up with an Enhanced Albert. This combo, which forces the opponent to wipe out your team and heal their leader at the exact same time, has become a dependable way to secure the win.
Milteo & Luzen Abysscraft is Stepping into the Spotlight
Milteo & Luzen Abysscraft is gaining attention for its ability to take advantage of the early-game weaknesses of the most popular decks. It uses a fast, aggressive strategy to flood the table with followers right from the start. Thanks to small power-ups to cards like Reverent Demon, Bibatii, and Ghost Dodger, its early plays and card drawing have become much more consistent.

| 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. |
