Announcement from , TPC Manager

With the end of the season approaching this will be the last Tier List for this Iteration of TPC. When July rolls in so will a new iteration of Top Player Council, look forward to it!

D/D/D and Burning Abyss stay at the top of the format, with the latter being more affected by the banlist after losing its most powerful techs: Loading... and Loading... ; while D/D/D adapted by adding more engine pieces.

Pretty much everything else is Tier 3, with decks that can sack but:

  1. Are worse versions of D/D/D.
  2. Lose to themselves or random things.
  3. Can't Side Deck or are more affected by Side Deck.
  4. Are more reliant on techs.

Tier 1

TPC Comments

It appears that despite initial speculation, D/D/D is much better off than Burning Abyss post Banlist hits, being not much more than a hit to its consistency. With the new Main Box upcoming it will be interesting to see what deck (if any) rises to compete with the current norms established by D/D/D.

Tier 2

TPC Comments

Burning Abyss, after the banlist, loses its main closer in Loading... (some people have been replacing it with Loading... , which is not as good despite its synergy with Loading... ).

The deck still has problems with Towers-type monsters above 2500 ATK / DEF (like from D/D/D). Also, after losing Loading... and the fact that it already struggles under 1-2 Loading... , Burning Abyss doesn't do much on its own aside from stall until it draws its techs, Loading... , BLS or Levianeer.
