Tier 1
TPC Comments
Resonator remains Tier 1. While the banlist did hit the deck's Turn 1, decks like Salamangreat and Predaplant got hit as well. Resonator was able to adapt rather quickly. Loading... can be an nice addition to Floodgate Tri-Brigade while also stopping Ancient Gear from going into Loading... .
Ancient Gear, the recently added deck, can be scary when it goes second against Resonator, but with the help of Loading... gaining LP, Buster Dragon stopping the Ballista Link play and Loading... being able to negate Loading... , the matchup is not too problematic. This is especially true since Loading... destroys Loading... by card effect after it's marked for destruction and no longer immune to card effects, denying the float.
Resonators hasnt lost anything big after the banlist: it can still do most of its usual plays with minute changes. Barring new Skills or Cards being released before WCQ, Resonators will continue to dominate the format.
Resonators are still the main contender in the current meta: it didn't lost a lot from the banlist and still has some strong plays going first and second. As such, it's the strongest deck in the current format.
Resonators remains Tier 1. Its endboard is mostly the same, as Loading... has generally been replaced with a floodgate in Loading... , which has spplications against Tri-Brigade, Dinos, Salamangreat, Ancient Gear, and the mirror-match. Additionally, many versions of the deck are now playing Loading... to further bolster their Turn 1 (it also helps going second against Lyrilusc, Subterror, and Predplant).
Despite the banlist hits to Resonators, it remainst the best deck of the format. Its power decreased, but its boards are still solid and hard for other decks to break. Also, its ability to break boards and OTK is exactly the same as it was. As such, the deck remainst Tier 1.
