Tier list

[Zymerix]

Hello, im newbie here and just wanted opinion from experienced players on what is the meta like? what is the best "faction" and the worst one? im having fun with orcs but they seems to be the bottom of the barell, or maybe im just bad with them?

I won't pretend to be a top player, but I do have a decent amount of experience.

From what I've seen (most other players seem to agree as well), Space Marines are the strongest and the most straightforward. Eldar I don't have much personal experience with, but they seem to be strong as well. Necrons are weaker and more gimmicky, followed by Chaos. Orks are close in strength to Chaos, but they are significantly less consistent (have to rely on lucky combinations of several cards to do anything).

Tyranids are a complete mystery to me as I haven't used them myself and they are also a rare opponent to face. I don't think they belong to either of extreme ends of the spectrum, they appear to fit somewhere in the middle.

my personal tier list faction wise

1. Ultramarines (will get nerfed a bit soon i guess)
2.Necro/Elder
3. Tyranids
4. Orc (ultra strong in draft mode.) And can win easy with just lucky draw but not consitent ,
5. Problem is the are to radom its real Chaos in this game :P

Ultramarines are the top of the food chain.

Chaos struggles the most. They have very lopsided matches.
They either can't develop a board or they snowball and win.

bjthebrave just released a Meta report on youtube.

I know a few people that stopped gaming, not even finishing the collection of a single race because of SM. They nerfed chaos terminators from 5 to 6 cost for no reasons... chaos has so many 6 cards, a 5 cost blocker was perfect then provided SM with an extra board clear card (auto 4x SM deploy card). Unlimited stunds are another problem, I can understand one stun but not an entire board to be stunned (including hero), so you have no chance to fight back whatever you fielded... so weird designs, in Hearthstone they bounded certain effects with the Hero attack so it wouldnt be triggered more than one time and rarely two times (double Hero attacks) but here you can easily trigger some effects ways too often with enough Stratgrams... some combos are hugh turn off for new players and I tried to get some friends (that actually in the WH 40K tabletop and Hearthstone range to give it a chance) and they really hated that some games are basically over in the first 2 turns

i only played for a few hours/days now. and wow Space Marines is very strong. I did 3 drafts so far. Orkz 0 wins, Necron 1 win, Space Marines got 5 wins and I don't have any time to play more 1 loss only so far. I have played Hearthstone before so I am not a complete noob to this type of card game but still, really feels like Space Marine cards are so powerful and easier to use. Lots of damage, and control.

Is tyranid bloodlust just flying under the radar? If they can get bloodlust on the 3 attack leader and another high (usually stealthed) melee damage unit its probably over and can burst for 25+ damage easily.
