Origins TCG tier list: Legendaries ranked, November 2026

OriginsMeta has published its first tier list: the twelve Legendaries of Origins TCG on the current patch, the one of 4 November 2026. Eleven are ranked from S to D; the twelfth, Wicked Stepmother, has too few games to be ranked. Decks and base cards come next.

The tier list

Tier	Legendaries
S, defines the meta	Three Not So Little Pigs, Dracula, Van Helsing
A, top competitive pick	King Arthur, Legion of the Dead
B, solid, deck-dependent	Mulan
C, niche or outclassed	Queen of Hearts, Robin Hood, Merlin
D, needs a rework	Dr. Frank, Dorothy

Not ranked: Wicked Stepmother, 23 games. The tier list is on its page, Origins TCG tier list, and every card page shows its tier.

The win rate is the one of the patch of 4 November 2026, read on 9 November 2026 from the 3,147 games recorded with OriginsMeta Tracker in which the opposing Legendary is known; the same numbers are live in Analytics. Games are appearances: every game counts for both Legendaries. The ban rate comes from Koin Games' official numbers for the four Crimson Cup qualifiers that have them (patch 0.7): bans out of the matches in which the Legendary was brought.

How we rank

The ladder first. Every game counts for both sides: a win for one Legendary is a loss for the other, so the average is 50% by construction and a Legendary is not flattered by the players who record more than by its opponents.
Tiers from the interval. S if a Legendary stays above 50% even at the low end of the 95% confidence interval; A from 50%, B from 45%, C from 40%, D below. Under 100 games it is not ranked.
Then the Crimson Cup. A Legendary banned in at least 30% of its tournament matches that reached the finals goes up one tier, never above S: Van Helsing (banned in 50.5% of its matches, in three of the four finalists' line-ups) and Merlin (43.2%, one finalist). Three Not So Little Pigs met the same rule but was already S. The tournament does not count for Dorothy, changed with the patch of 4 November, or for Dr. Frank, who was not in the game yet.

What it does not say

It ranks the Legendary, not a decklist: the same Legendary leads very different decks. For the lists, see the decks, each with its own win rate when someone plays it.
The games are those recorded with OriginsMeta Tracker, whose users win more than average (54.8% of their 4,004 games on this patch). Counting both sides corrects most of it, not all of it.
Every queue counts: ranked and normal games are not separated.
The Crimson Cup was played on patch 0.7, before Early Access: it only moves a Legendary up, never down.

When it changes

Koin Games has announced a balance patch for 17 November 2026 (AMA Preview). After that patch we read the numbers again, update the tier list and explain every move in a new article. Meanwhile the live numbers are in Analytics, and the other rankings are the community tier list, the card votes and the most played cards.
