Kantai Collection [S Tier]

I’m starting with Kantai Collection because not only is it the set I’m most familiar with, but also the set that I believe should have (whether it has or not) been having the most influence over the English game since its release in May 2015. Kantai Collection has a history of being game warping in the Japanese format, having had multiple cards put on the banlist and almost singlehandedly destroying the “8g8” and heal-based meta that Japan had been playing in for years prior to Kantai Collection’s release.

Spring 2017 English Tier List

Well, it’s that time of the year again. The 2016 seasons are ending and 2017 is about to begin with a whole new tournament format. I won’t get too much into the tournament setup itself, or how awful the spread of events in North America is, or anything like that, since there isn’t much we can do about that. Instead, I hope to clear up a few things about the current English meta, such as what decks are good, why Nisekoi isn’t good, etc.
