SorceryCon 2026 Avatar Tier List
Written by ForceofPhil
Ranking Avatars in the post-Gothic world is an ever-inviting endeavor. Many of Sorcery: Contested Realm's (SCR) content creators have shared how they would rank the incarnates that represent us in the Realm; you can watch their videos below.
Zac and I have delved into Avatar rankings before, and I thought it would be interesting to show how the Avatars ranked across a competitive field for the most significant tournament we've had since Gothic's release: SorceryCon 2026.
Thanks to the data collection by CJ and Bruce of the Sorcerers Summit, we can rank each Avatar in a competitive tier list:
Avatar Tier List — SorceryCon 2026
Each Avatar is ranked by its cumulative win-loss record through the Swiss portion of SorceryCon 2026. Ranked avatars have at least four pilots with known results. The dataset is extensive, but some decklists lack corresponding records.
