Tier 1

TPC Comments

Onomats continue to be the strongest deck in the format due to no Deck or Extra Deck restrictions to activate its consistancy skill. Does it win every duel if you use it? No. But it sure does give you the best chance to win most duels due to Onomatoplay .

Onomat remains as the best deck of the format. We all know how strong it is and there is no reason to repeat it. The only thing to talk about is how every deck in the format takes away in the ability for Onomat to make "optimal" deckbuilding choices:

  • Mirror: Would prefer to play Loading... to have an easier time going first compared to Loading...
  • Thunder Dragon: Requires 2-3 Loading... in the Side on top of potentially using Loading... to play through Handtraps like Loading...
  • Resonators: Forces Loading... and potentially playing MST to not lose to Loading...
  • Harpies: Forces Loading...
  • Gaia: The matchup becomes easier with Loading... to hit Loading... and backrow alike These decision points may seem minor at first but they pile up and force Onomat to have fewer options against rouge decks - which is why we see them running around in the format even though they should have no business being there.

As such , we can hope to get more decks in the format with different strenghs, to limit the Onomat players' deckbuilding

Onomat keeps their Tier 1 status, as it is still the deck to beat right now with its hyperconsistency. On top of that, Onomat is pretty flexible in how you can build it and can play lots of different techs to switch the feel of it.

Tier 2

There are no decks in Tier 2

Tier 3

TPC Comments

Gaia has been promoted to Tier 3 as Onomats are dropping Loading... for Loading... . Gaia has decent match-ups against other Tier 3 decks and it has sufficent tech space to side to beat them.
