<h2>Top Tier</h2>
<p>
	Here is a list of the best <strong>Vampire: the Eternal Struggle</strong> deck archetypes.
	Every archetype is presented with {{ twda }} deck list examples, main variations, and a play guide.
</p>
<p>
	Archetypes are tiered by their number of qualifying wins: victories in tournaments with 20 players
	or more in the last 3 years. Top tier archetypes score at least half as many qualifying wins as the
	current leader. Example decklists are recent qualifying wins, Continental or National championships
	when possible. Decks relying heavily on mechanics that have since been errated are not included.
</p>
<p>
	The 💀 icon singles out a dominating archetype: more than twice the qualifying wins of any other.
	It is not just the top of the list, it is the deck to beat.
</p>
<p>
	Please note that this list is built purely on TWDA statistics: more than a third of tournaments wins are achieved
	with unrelated decks.
</p>

<h2>Runner-ups</h2>
<p>
	These archetypes sit just below the top tier, with at least half as many qualifying wins
	as the last of the top tier archetypes. They have either been successful for a while,
	or racked up their wins recently. Keep an eye out for them, tinker and experiment
	to reveal their full potential.

<h2>New Kids</h2>
<p>
	These archetypes are new (or unearthed) decks that have been noticed in tournaments,
	with a couple of qualifying wins already. If they make this list, it's usually because
	they performed, surprised, or showed potential.
</p>
<p>
	They might just need your personal touch or a bit of exposure to become the next big hit.

<h2>Old Guard</h2>
<p>
	These are long-established archetypes that keep on winning, at a slower pace.
	They may not top the charts anymore, but they are proven, resilient designs:
	they remain solid choices in most metas, and dismissing them is always a mistake.
