OP10 Weekly Meta Snapshot

The Format Evolves Post-Ban

With the latest bans officially in effect, the OP10 metagame is beginning to take shape in earnest. Thanks to early results from OPBounty, we now have a clearer picture of which decks are rising, which are adapting, and how the community is navigating a refreshed format.

While the meta remains fluid, emerging patterns are already setting the tone. Some leaders have taken the changes in stride and surged to the front, while others are undergoing important refinements to stay in contention. From explosive aggro to calculated control, OP10 remains a dynamic and evolving battlefield.

This week's report highlights the top-performing decks, rising strategies, and key tech shifts that are shaping the competitive conversation.

Shanks: A Versatile Powerhouse on the Rise

Shanks has seen a noticeable uptick in play this week, as players test the leader’s flexibility across multiple archetypes. From high-pressure aggro cores to slower, hybrid control shells, Shanks has proven capable of adapting to the meta while maintaining a high ceiling.

Its rising popularity reflects the strength of its toolkit and the creativity it enables in deckbuilding. Whether it eventually narrows into a defined "best" version or continues to thrive across builds, Shanks has earned its place as a format staple.

Zoro: Aggro King Still Reigning

Zoro continues to dominate the aggro field, retaining its title as a premier aggressive deck in OP10. What began as an early favorite has solidified into a long-term meta presence thanks to relentless pressure and blistering speed.

Its unmatched ability to close games before other decks can stabilize keeps it at the forefront. While players are working on anti-aggro counters, nothing has reliably dethroned Zoro yet—it remains the deck to beat.

Purple Luffy: Reliable, Explosive, and Meta-Proof

Purple Luffy stands strong as a consistent and accessible powerhouse. With explosive mid-game turns, excellent tempo tools, and minimal reliance on new cards, the deck continues to attract both new and veteran players.

Outside of a few minor tech updates to weather early aggression, the list remains stable. It’s an ideal pick for those who want straightforward but high-impact gameplay—and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Doflamingo: Resilient Post-Ban Performer

Even with the recent bans—most notably Jinbe—Doflamingo continues to hold its ground. Its engine-focused control playstyle and synergy-driven gameplan remain largely intact, keeping it competitive in the evolving OP10 environment.

Blackbeard (Teach): Popular, Potent, and Tech-Focused

Teach has surged in popularity, emerging as one of the most-played decks this week. Leveraging tools like Kuzan and Liberation, it combines strong value generation with powerful control elements.

Still, the rise of aggro—especially Zoro—has challenged Teach to evolve. Players are quickly tuning their lists with early-game tech to stabilize before ramping into their signature mid-to-late-game power. With proper adjustments, Teach remains a top contender.

Bonney: Steady, Strong, and Still Top-Tier

Bonney continues to deliver consistent results thanks to its solid fundamentals. With strong value engines, tight sequencing, and flexible lines, it rewards skilled piloting and matchup knowledge.

As the meta shifts, Bonney’s core remains effective. It may not always steal the spotlight, but it’s a perennial threat with a proven track record.

G/P Lim: Rising Through Optimization

Lim is steadily climbing the ranks as players refine the list and hone early-game sequencing. The leader's ability to apply pressure through wide boards and adaptive play makes it an increasingly appealing option for those willing to put in the reps.

While still a developing archetype, Lim is showing all the signs of a leader that could break out with further tuning.

Rob Lucci: The Tactical Choice

Rob Lucci is re-establishing itself as a strong pick for players who value precision and calculated aggression. Offering a balanced mix of board control and offense, it punishes misplays and rewards tight piloting.

Though recent bans have stripped away some of its old power, creative deckbuilding is keeping Lucci in the conversation—and finding pockets of success.

U/B Usopp: A Strategic Newcomer with Strong Potential

Combining the power of two dominant colors, U/B Usopp offers a compelling mix of efficient removal, card advantage, and steady pressure.

Early results suggest the deck could become a go-to for control-minded players who still want to apply meaningful board pressure. A promising contender in the making.

Yellow Kid: Turning Hype into Results

After weeks of buzz, Yellow Kid is beginning to deliver on expectations. Its unique leader skill rewards smart sequencing and resource control, offering a new take on Yellow’s toolkit.

As builds continue to tighten, Yellow Kid is winning over more pilots—and proving it can hang in a variety of matchups. If momentum continues, it could soon join the top tier of control decks.


Conclusion: A Meta in Motion

OP10 is entering an exciting phase where creativity, adaptation, and refinement are all paying dividends. The recent bans have shaken up the landscape just enough to breathe new life into overlooked strategies while reinforcing the strength of well-tuned staples.

Aggro continues to set the pace, with Zoro and Shanks leading the charge, but control and midrange decks like Teach, Bonney, and Usopp are quickly finding their footing. Meanwhile, rising stars like Lim and Yellow Kid show that the format still has room for innovation and surprises.

As the weeks go on and tournaments provide more data, we can expect further optimization, tech shifts, and perhaps even breakout decks that challenge the current status quo. For now, the format remains open, competitive, and rich with opportunity—just the way OP10 should be.

Here’s how we evaluated each leader:

Step 1: Game Percentage Ranking (Popularity)
Leaders are ranked based on their presence in the meta, measured by the number of games they’ve been played. The most-played leader scores a perfect 100%, while the least-played receives 0%. This step highlights which decks players are gravitating toward, even if they’re not necessarily dominating.

Step 2: Win Rate Ranking (Performance)
Next, we ranked leaders based on their win rates. The highest-performing leader scores 100%, with all other leaders scaled relative to this benchmark. This step focuses on raw efficiency and success, rewarding decks that consistently secure victories.

Step 3: Ideal Leader Comparison
This step imagines the “perfect” leader: one that combines the highest win rate with the most games played. Each leader is measured against this ideal, balancing performance with popularity. A deck that’s widely played but underperforms—or one that excels in a smaller sample size—falls short of the perfect leader.

Step 4: Score Calculation
Finally, we distill these comparisons into a simple, intuitive scoring system from 0 to 10. Leaders closer to the “100/100” ideal earn higher scores, giving a clearer picture of their overall strength in the current meta.

By leveraging this enhanced approach, we’ve painted a more nuanced picture of the OP09 metagame. As we move forward, these insights should provide valuable guidance for those still engaging with the meta. Let’s dive into this week’s rankings!
