View official deck listsHow to choose a GENESYS deck
Start with an engine you already understand, then decide how much of the point budget belongs to consistency, interaction, and Extra Deck finishers. A lower-point core gives you more freedom to adapt the list to your local field.

GENESYS Decks FAQ
Use these checks before copying or submitting a deck list.
What is the best GENESYS deck right now?
There is no single permanent best deck because GENESYS point values change with tournament data and new releases. Blitzclique, Sacred Beasts, Fairy Tail, and Exosister were among the strongest recent strategies before the October 5, 2026 mass update, but every older list should be recalculated under the current points.
Can I copy an older tournament GENESYS deck list?
You can use it as a starting point, but the original list may exceed the current event cap after a point update. Import or rebuild the list in the deck builder and verify every copy in the Main, Extra, and Side Deck.
How many points can a GENESYS deck use?
The standard cap is 100 points across the Main, Extra, and Side Deck combined. An organizer can choose another cap, so confirm the event details before building.
