Meta Summary: Romance Dawn Arc
As of July 2022, contributions from OPTCGReview
Less than a month into this card game, there is not enough collected information to formulate a strong tier list. However, it is looking very much like a triangle where Red > Purple > Green > Red.
Red with pure rush has the tendency to outpace opponents with their "Rush" effect and high attack power.
Purple if allowed to ramp mana early game, they can be at 10 mana by turn-3 for a Kaido to clear the board.
Green is best represented by Red/Green Law right now as it is packed with half a deck of 1-cost characters to swarm the board, search, and block. The 5 cost Law will just replace the 1 cost ones as beat sticks afterwards. This is probably the best deck for consistency in game right now.
Blue is the punching bag as it suffers from not having a good finisher.
