What is like the top tier meta class to start off with/learn for taking serious in the future? thanks

well the current meta should be taken with a grain of salt because we're getting a new pack at the end of the month but rn in rotation the top classes are rune, dragon, and sword i'd say. again though subject to change, the meta in SV tends to change quite a bit between expansions

if you're new then i'd say the best thing to do is the story mode to earn some rupees (in-game currency) for opening stuff after the new pack releases. you can also try tackling each of the elite ai if you want as all 23 of them give you 2 packs in rupees the first time you beat them but they can be pretty tough

The meta here in general tend to focus on decks that otk or chips half of your life and finish the other half in a single play after turn 8

Unranked in low levels tend to give a decent view of latter portions of the game since lots of players prefer to avoid ranking up(because deck variety becomes paper-thin after around rank B-ish, you really cant avoid tier-whoring in this game since even the dailies forces you to win)

The usual commendation for starters is to go for agro decks, both because this game hates control pretty much by design, and because agro tend to be cheaper(i would recomend to grind a bit before venturing too deep in story mode, first 8 chaps are easy but after that, the pc starts to cheat and use multi-class decks that can be infuriating if you dont have a decent deck to match it)

tbf you can use prebuilds for free in story, once you have a grasp of how they work most of them are good enough to clear the whole story

Ikegami, you are wrong about abscense of diversity in higher ranks. I am sitting in M-GM ladder for more then half of the year and can definetly say: leather mens tend to grab each other and band together for orgy, but you can avoid them ez and enjoy gameplay(yes, those bodybuilders are frequent, but anyway...)

About aggro thing: aggro is good in SV beecause game design tend to it (20hp, new OP cards) but slower decks exist, they are rare and you cant get consistent wr with them, but some are playable though.
Sometimes they become meta tier1, like Cocytus dragon.

Where is blood? like ??? Control forest also present, Hades shadow or tempo shadow? A lot of classes you can play now, good expansion(except overpowered new cards, is this a new trend after RoG?)

To climb fast on the ladder i advise to use current aggro blood wich is still t1, there are a lot of variations of the deck, be carefull)) Up to A-AA it is preferable to use aggro decks for swift passing through ladder in wich a lot of players tend to have low skill, some exceptions may occur
After AA it doesnt matter what type of deck u are using, because fun is more in priority + difference in wr is minimal.

well yes for the most part every craft is viable and i'm not saying you should use one of those 3 but they did ask what the top meta classes are and i'd say rune, dragon, and sword stand at the top mostly, for rotation that is

[Slava]

Sword can be reckt by early Kuon or double or triple, i saw x4Kuon against myself, so . . .
Dragon has same problem, those classes have weak early - mid game play(i am talking about standart Ctrl C+V decks) and simply cant survive untill turn 8-9 properly. Also entering end (turn 8+) play =/= wictory
Blood wipes Kuon otherwise

[aidanfilson25]

the general opinion is that natura dragon and evolve sword are 2 of the strongest rotation decks right after Kuon rune, not that things like control forest are doing bad
