Tier lists are based on current decks. You can't accurately predict a deck they will enter the meta at above the top tier.

Furthermore, you added Aliens and Relinquised to a tier above 2 regional top 8's implying bias.

I'm implying that infernities are so good they already rule the meta before they even exist...in America:D

But seriously ok fine drop the relinquished and alien decks and then i guess this list is pretty accurate (final countdown is worthy of at least b class IMO)

Final Countdown is in D.

Also in the OCG meta, Infernities aren't on top and bw's in their meta are on par with them which indicates that they won't enter our meta as "god tier"

Similar to how Cat Synchro didn't come into our meta as god tier a year ago.

ok.
Anyway why would final countdown be in D class? I thought i had a decent amount of top 8s.

Currently only has 2 regional top 8's.

Reason is because Gladiator Beasts is almost an auto-lose matchup (Heraklinos)

Also random things like maindecked decree is a huge obstacle and almost impossible to overcome.

Oh ok i see.
Seems as thought nitelite isn't ranked high. Is that because its so new it hasn't had enough regionals to be tested at or because its really.....not that great?

That deck is ranked in "A"

I'd consider that to be pretty high.

SJ New jersey will show what is top tier; however, these are the decks I could see topping/ winning

- Synchro cat and blackwing : Both have been topping almost every regional and will likely be the 2 most played decks at the jump

- GB's and Machina gadgets: both less popular decks but solid contenders

- Salvodad, quickdraw and flamvell monarchs: have all been gaining a lot of popularity lately, and have tested really well from my experience.

- There will probably be a couple rogue decks in the top 32 probably a lightsworn or zombie varient if anything.

why has no one except yussa put quickdraw in tier 1? that deck is really good and has got quite a few regional tops in a pretty short ammount of time. Also infernities are not even in the meta right now so why are people putting it in tier 1?

Lets hope infernity doesn't poop too hard on this amazing format. I love seeing so many decks being "tier 1".

Sorry to ask a dumb question but what is nitelight? :o

The only things that could possibly come to mind ae LS and Flamevell varients but that doesn't sound right.
