It doesn’t take long for the meta to be “solved” in card games, and it wouldn’t be different in Genshin Impact’s own Genius Invokation TCG. These might not matter much in regular play, but for harder matches and human opponents, having the best possible decks is necessary in order to secure a hard-earned victory. Or just complain about seeing the same decks over and over.
For that reason, we’re compiling some of the best current decks you can build based on the most recent unofficial tournaments’ results. As the game has just been released, many of the decks are very similar to each other. Expect to see a LOT of Yoimiya around here. The girl’s too powerful for this world.

The most important thing is to know how to adapt to certain situations. If you’re struggling against summon-heavy decks, adding a Send Off can make things easier even if the list doesn’t include it, for example. Use these decks as a base for creating your own. And be learned to play against them, because you’ll probably be seeing those a lot.
