BT05 War of Dragods Meta

Hey Buddyfighters!

With the release of Future Card Buddyfight Ace's 5th main set, The Buddyfight Meta has moved on from Dimension dragon dominance.  BT05 has brought upon us amazing decks such as Evil Deity Dragons and a never before seen mechanic known as Double Buddy! Although it is early to determine the Meta, This is what we think are the top picks for this set. Do note that with the release of S-BT02A, Blazing overclash, in the next two weeks, The Buddyfight Meta will face a complete shift. This Meta analysis will be useful if you have an upcoming Regionals before S-BT02A. Without further ado,lets see where the decks stand at the current moment.

Tier 1

Dimension Dragons(DD)- This deck is still one of the most reliable deck in the game with the ability to fully abuse the power of lost world and its overpowered cards. With the addition of cards like D.Zenith, The deck's consistency level has increased by a huge amount. And by calling Vanity End Destroyer, it allows you to add any card of choice from the soul every turn. This ensures that you will have the specific card needed for any situation. Making the entire deck an even greater threat then it used to be.

Evil Demon Dragons- This is a brand new deck introduced in BT05. Their unique concept of reaching their full potential when you are at 1 life makes this a very interesting deck to play. With tools like Black Parsol of Eternal Darkness, Umbrell,  You are able to completely control the game from the early stages. It has many great tools that ensures your survival each turn. The main goal of the deck is to reach 1 life as soon as possible and finish the opponent with their trump card, Belial, Which has a critical of 666 and triple attack. The ability to control the opponent's gauge and cards that allow survival of multiple turns makes this deck a very frightening foe.


Horus - A newly introduced concept in Buddyfight where you can have two Buddy! This changed the way Buddyfight was played. The deck has insane draw power and massive board presence. Similar to Link Dragon Order, This deck creates a field full of cards that cannot be destroyed or returned to hand and will have double or triple attack. Being in Legend world also gives it a added bonus of amazing draw support and anti-meta options which lands this at tier 1.

Tier 2 

Detective Conan - Unfortunately with the errata, This deck has dropped in power and popularity. Loyalty hurts this deck even more now since you are unable to pull of the ftk during your opponent's turn now. The deck is still very viable and performs well, but with the weakness of not having Generic cards and being so vulnerable to Loyalty, This deck has dropped to the tier 2 spot.

Astrodragons - Another classic SDW deck that has been seeing less play due to Dimension Dragons speed of reaching lost world and the inability to deal with Lost world consistently. This deck is still very good and is able to close out games in one turn given the right cards. However, it does have the same problem of being stopped by Loyalty as it heavily relies on monsters to do its damage.

Dragon Garga - There are two versions for this deck. One is multi world Garga and the other being Gboost. Both the decks have amazing field control and huge damage output. Whats stopping them from being tier 1 is Battle Phase enders and rest spells, Which significantly limit what the deck can do. That being said, We are still in the debate of whether it should be a tier 1 or tier 2 deck.

Not Categorized Tier

This Tier are decks that are not popular anymore and can be considered as Rouge decks. These decks wont Significantly affect the meta as much as the ones stated in Tier 1 and 2. This is a free for all Tier.

So that is what we think is the Meta for this set. Tier 1 picks are extremely safe choices for regionals.

We hope you enjoyed this post and get a better understanding of where each deck stands.

Keep on Buddyfighting~
