Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
Star Seraph has been seeing a huge decline lately, as losing Loading... took away its greatest strength against the best-performing deck of the format (it's also a silver bullet against many decks, often ending their turn immediately). The drop was expected but not to such a huge degree.
Star Seraph was the best deck that utilized Loading... , and honestly without it the deck is significantly worse. The engine is still able to threaten a bunch of interruptions and forces you to have an answer to their push, so I think the deck still has potential.

While Time Thief has maybe the most oppressive Turn 1 currently in the gmae, it ultimately lacks a good Turn 2 against most decks (while also having a huge issue against cards like Loading... ). Aside from that it has issues getting over Loading... / Loading... (since its only out is Loading... , which can be interacted with, necessesitating drawing the out). Unfortunately the same is true for almost every Turn 1 setup, making it almost impossible for Time Thief to go second without a custom hand.
