Slay the Spire Card Tier List

Overview

Slay the Spire came out in 2019 and the meta settled a long time ago, which is exactly why the gap between a card that looks strong and a card that actually wins Ascension 20 runs is worth writing down. These placements are editorial opinion, not something the game's files decide: community consensus plus a lot of A20 climbing, and reasonable players will argue about the B tier forever. Only draftable cards are here, so Basic starters like Strike, Defend and Bash are absent, and so are Special cards the game hands you rather than lets you pick (Shiv, Smite, Insight, Miracle, Safety, Through Violence). Curses are not ranked either. If you came looking for where Regret sits, the answer is outside your deck.
