Hello Buddyfighters! We re now approaching the most anticipated tournament of the year and that is the BCS world finals. Players around the globe have fought hard and earned their invites to the finals. One of our own member is also participating in the world finals this year as well. We decided that a Meta analysis would help some players better decide what to play for the biggest tournament of the year! We will be discussing the key strengths and weakness of each decks below.

1. Dimension Dragons

The deck that won the 2018 championship and its still one of the best decks to play. A deck to be tier 1 for over a year is something that rarely happens in any card games. Dimension Dragons have proven to be tier 1 by topping many regionals across the world.

Strengths

- Extremely consistent

- Able to abuse Lost world's powers

- Easy to pilot

- No difficult match ups

Weakness

- Lost world reliant and cant do anything in main deck other than defend

- Prone to gauge steal effects

- Can be crippled by spell nulls and ability nulls

- Heavy field presence reliance

2. Triple Buddy

The Triple Buddy is the latest mechanic in the game. This deck is able to Buddy call multiple times gaining massive life. They also have spells which give immense control while you have the Buddy on the field.

Strengths

- Massive life gain from multiple Buddy call

- Huge control power from spells

- Inbuilt immunity to destruction and bounce effects

- Easy recovery from field wipe 

- Prevents re standing of cards  

Weakness 

- Can be inconsistent when drawing the pieces

- Gets countered by anti rest and anti ability null 

- loses to cards that send them to drop like Epoch destroyer

3. Prism Dragons

Prism Dragons received a huge amount of support this season and that made them one of the most powerful deck in the game. With access to cards like Eternity Ring which is in the watchlist for getting banned, Prism dragons have the absolute defense that no other decks have in the game. However, there a few glaring weakness for the deck currently in the meta. 

Strengths

- Absolute defense 

- Guaranteed survival with overturn 

- Immune to effect damage and destruction effects 

- Easy turbo to lost world 

Weakness

- Inconsistent some times 

- Extremely susceptible to resting effects 

- Will run out of steam if opponent is able to survive by resting Athora every turn 

- Heavy reliance on Lost world for some match ups

- No offense if Eternity Ring is dropped from soul

4. Roselia

Roselia is the only deck as of now that can call 5 monsters on the field. Each of the five units give them a specific immunity and offense which counters the entire meta. The high consistency rate of this deck and access to powerful spells allows them to stay on top the meta for a long time. 

Strengths

- Extremely consistent 

- Very high offense

- Has impact that gives them extra attack phase

- straightforward game plan

- Overall not weak to many things that are common in the meta

Weakness

- Weak to Burn damage 

- cant stop Athora's overturn

- Weak to cards that rearrange their field

- Weak to Buddyblock and redirectors combo

5. Case closed

Conan was the first ever Crossover deck to be introduced and has been overlooked by many. The deck can only shine in the hands of the right player and has the potential to win the entire tournament if played right. With so much counter calling during both turns, they can easily empty the opponent's board during their turn and effectively end their turn. 

Strengths 

- Can cripple the opponent during their turn  

- Very huge draw power that can be used during both turns 

- Very high amount of control cards 

- Multiple calling which escapes resting cards

- High life gain 

Weakness

- Very weak to cards that prevent bounce for both players 

- Cards that give destruction and bounce immunity to whole field is a huge problem 

- Multiple Loyalties can slow down the deck by a huge amount. 

- No deck replenishing ability to keep up with the draw power

Other decks you might see are
- Idol Master
- Jackknife 
- Folktales 
- Gboost Will

These deck are by no means bad but we do not expect a high representation from them. The decks we mentioned are the ones which you will see played the most. 

We hope this post help you better understand the strengths and weakness of each decks. And remember, Always have fun when playing Buddyfight! 

Keep on Buddyfighting~
