Done with the list, now it features all URs 
(wow it took longer to make than i thought)
Also, if you disagree with your variant ranking, feel free to discuss it here or drop me a DM and we will talk about it, but I will probably won't change my mind unless I missed something important.
I will try to update the list every 1-2 days if there are any new URs or if I changed my mind on something

ダババライダーはかな...
i think it's ダッダバライダー（daddaba rider）, not ダババライダー(dababa rider)
ダッダバライダーは無用です。先手に優勢がある，時間制御(tc)が早すぎるとflagfestになる。PRも可能だ。
this seems better as smth like 赤に先手 really like a google translate (although this is translate too)
Updated! Added Yolanda, new verdicts, and started adding example games for each variant, so this forum could be used as variants.world for people who don't have access to it.

Acceptance Probability Variants list
This list is finished and will be updated regularly. Last update: 12/15/2025
We didn't have an updated acceptance list for a while, so I thought why not make one myself? Below you will see a table with all my opinions about variants. You can quickly find your variants by looking at the 'creators' section. I will not rank any of my variants, instead I will just highlight them with an orange color.
Note: This is an acceptance probability list, not a 'how good a variant is' list. This means that I also look at other factors that makes it more/less likely to be accepted.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Disclaimer! This is just my opinion, and I have a good chance of being wrong.
Light green - I am not sure about a variant and need more time analyze it to give it an acceptance probability (?%)
Purple - Acception without any problems (90~100%)
Pink - Pretty sure it will be PRed or Accepted (60~90%)
Blue - Has a good chance of being accepted, but there might be some issues (40~60%)
Light blue - Has a good chance of being declined (10~40%)
Light yellow - Has major issues and I think it will get declined (2-5%)
Light red - Unfortunately, this is an easy decline / Autodecline (1%)
Red - Decline + Warning / Decline + Ban / Troll submission (0%)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WoF Collision Course
(Example Game)
@QtSeSc
The tc is pretty flaggy and sometimes you don't have enough time to calculate in the endgame, which is pretty much the only part of the game where you will need to calculate. Capturing dead pieces with pawns is probably better, and this makes the opening not very interesting in my opinion. Maybe a PR to NCV in case of acception is possible.
P.S. The reasons for a decline were different from mt opinion though, but the NCV part was true

WoF Fading Starlight
(Example Game)
@yx-aynerik897
Okay this is a hard one. At first the game feels like 'capture every piece you see' and I would =0 it, BUT a @timeveteran found an interesting pr which is a lot better and I think it has potential.
P.S. I was right! YES!!!! NEW ACCEPTION!!!

NCV That 2b keeps renaming
(Example Game)
Amazing piece synergy. At first I found annoying the fact that your opponent can just rush their king as close to the center as possible, but it turns out this is not dangerous and gives your opponent a lot of tempos. Overall, uniqueness makes it likely to get accepted.
P.S. Stop changing names
P.S P.S. Please stop changing name
P.S P.S P.S Ok i am done with changing the names
WoF Equilibrium
(Example Game)
@yx-aynerik897
WoF Cursed Sculptures
(Example Game)
This variant is extremely unique, with a nice gameplay. The PRed starting position is a lot less forced. After playing both cursed and tiny sculptures, I came to a conclusion that cursed sculptures is a better variant because
1. The gameplay is more intuitive. You can explain it easily by saying: 'capture a piece with check to win' (although this is not 100% accurate)
2. Tiny sculptures are a lot harder to play and calculate, with stone grasshoppers make the game a lot more confusing
WoF Lobotomy 8X
(Example Game)
NCV Solstice
(Example Game)
This is a variant that will probably take 1000 years to get a verdict. It is really high quality, but the fact that it has similar piece palette to Solarion is problematic. I can see this as a good NCV, but the game length is WoF-like, and in that case, as a WoF Solarion is better in my opinion.
P.S. Nooooooo! The verdict message is similar to Sharp Incantation though.
Declined
(UR for 5 months)
NCV Frozen Lake
(Example Game)
I am putting this in an easy decline tier because this variant was already revised 1 month ago with all aspects of it being better.
P.S I hope the revision gets accepted!

WoF Ilusión
(Example Game)
WoF Combination Attack
(Example Game)
NCV Andrew's Game
(Example Game)
On one side, this variant does not introduce new ideas from already existing Leapers and Sergeant Checkers I and II, but the piece synergy is outstanding here with an amazing realization of attacking power of colorblind pieces like alfils and camelriders which is not shown in any other variants. Pretty hard to say if this is getting accepted, but when the votes are split, there is a higher chance for a decline.
P.S. Noooooooo!

WoF Tiny Torpedoes
(Example Game)
NCV Constellation
(Example Game)
If two good players play this game, it would be pretty drawish because all exchanges are equal if you don't blunder, and in that case there is almost no chance of comeback.
P.S. Yx requested a self decline for this variant
P.S P.S They self declined it.

(UR for 5 months)
WoF The Atlantis
(Example Game)
During my analysis I found a lot of lines where black were forced to make specific moves or otherwise they will lose the game, and in some cases white will get huge advantage from the opening. DM me if you want me to show you the lines.
P.S Again, the decline reason is different, but i am 99% sure that white has advantage though
Declined
(UR for 5 months)
NCV Ambivalent
(Example Game)
This gives Leapers vibes... and it just feels like Leapers with fatal gamerule on.
WoF Tiny Sculptures
(Example Game)
The gameplay is not drawish and not forced, this has some fun strategies, although it seems similar to cursed sculptures and CGA might not accept both of them for this reason. Out of these two variants, I think Cursed Sculptures is better (see Cursed Sculptures message).
WoF Chilly Hilly Jungle
(Example Game)
This is chilly, this is unique, this is fun, a clear +1. - Accidentaly made a rhyme
NCV DucKing
(Example Game)
Stone generals and sergeants are way too powerful. Overall, the gameplay is just making your opponent's structure worse. Because of such piece dis-balance, i don't think this will be good as a WoF either.
NCV Pawn Strategies
(Example Game)
NCV!! Little Star
(Example Game)
This should be an NCV because of its complexity and a variety of strategies. I like this a lot and think that this is a nicely made fatal+spells concept. The hill and the blue knights also add a nice touch here.
P.S. Now it is an NCV, nice! Good luck on acception!

NCV Juxtaposition
(Example Game)
Unfortunately after further testing i found out that Green and Yellow have advantage, especially taken as a fact that they only have to capture all pieces of one side to win. This strategy makes Green and Yellow win every time, and even in the testing games GY win more games.
P.S I guess the self decline was correlated with my acceptance list, but I hope to see a revision with fixed advantage in the future.

If clothing got accepted, this definitely won't get declined for being too similar to other variant. Looking at the gameplay, it has a similar aspects of cloister with some new strategies, definitely a way to go.
P.S Game 8 is absolutely different from Yolanda, so it might get declined for requirements not met.

NCV Chaotic Frozenland
(Example game)
This game features a very nice use of spells with advanced center and side attacks. The pieces flow very well together and freeze spells make this very unique. Overall, this is a worthy NCV but testers might not like the sheer amount of freeze spells.

NCV Racing Kings Horde

Unfortunately, as an NCV this does not add anything new to the table. Variants like sergeant checkers have a better realization of the concept than this one.

NCV Swarming The Castle

Three things:
1. This is generic
2. This is a piece spam, because there is no piece synergy at all
3. Why is the board so big

WoF Find me first
(Example Game)
Completely luck based and generic. This variant tries a mechanic that had been used a million times before without adding anything new or something that would make it less luck based.
UR (<1 week)
NCV Nuke Chess
(Example Game)
All things considered, this is not as generic as i originally thought. However there are still some issues, mainly because of a lot of bricks forming quickly, this becomes drawish for experienced players, and for beginners it is quite easy to miss a knight or a grasshopper attack. Overall this is certainly not an autodecline, but i don't think it has the potential to get accepted.
UR (<1 week)
NCV In a rush
(Example Game)
Wow, this is actually not a bad first submission! Utilizing infinite jump spells in a pawn game is a good idea, but it was already implemented in Sergeant Checkers II, which is a better implementation of this idea.

NCV Jianwu (劍舞)

No big first move advantage, good but unfortunately, i still think this is too similar to waui-shogi, with the only visible difference being an introduction of a chinese horse, which does not change the game feel a lot.
UR (<1 week)
NCV Juxtaposition v2
(Example Game)
Completely unrelated to the ranking, but how on earth did you manage to test you variant with qilp????
Looking at this version i found it A LOT more balanced that the previous one, although i am not sure if it balanced enough for an imbalance acception (you can never be sure), but i hope so. The game is really nice and i like the fact that now you have to capture one royal instead of 2 to win, it is a nice change which makes it easier.
UR (<1 week)
NCV Kings's Ascent
(Example Game)
You should really stop rushing submissions, seriously. This game is just a generic combination of pieces and rules with a heavily untested position. PLEASE spend more time on your variants and get in touch with experienced variant creators to help you.
NCV Guard Baiting
(Example Game)
Pretty good revision! This is a lot less forced, and the pieces flow well. Now the question is: is this good enough? The concept is unique, so that's a check, the gamerules are pretty reasonable, i just don;t understand why Game of points is on. The gameplay is interesting, but it is not good enough for an NCV, not much strategy, better WoF, in which case i will reevaluate this.
