---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top 4 Deck Choices:

• Jewellery Bonney (OP07-019)

  • Reason: Bonney is a strong choice due to her solid win rate and her ability to beat Katakuri, Enel, and ST13 Luffy, three of the other top contenders. However, her loss to Rob Lucci, as indicated by his 61.3% win rate against her, is a notable weakness.

• Rob Lucci (OP07-079)

  • Reason: Rob Lucci has a strong matchup against Jewellery Bonney, which is one of the top decks, with a win rate of 61.3%. Despite losing to Katakuri, Enel, and ST13 Luffy, his strength against Bonney makes him a viable second choice, especially if you expect Bonney to be a prevalent deck at Nationals. Rob Lucci also has a balanced win-loss ratio vs the decks he loses to, making him a consistent performer in the meta if played well.

• Nami (OP03-040)

  • Reason: Nami’s favorable matchups against Bonney, Rob Lucci, Enel, and ST13 Luffy make her a potential good pick. While she struggles against Katakuri, she beats all the top decks people will bring and that could make her a strategic pick for Nationals.

• Charlotte Katakuri (OP03-099)

  • Reason: Charlotte Katakuri is a top-tier choice, currently ranked number one. It has strong matchups against Rob Lucci and Enel, giving it solid footing in the meta. While it narrowly loses to ST13 Luffy and Bonney, a skilled player can close these gaps. With Nationals approaching, many opponents may not yet know how to counter Katakuri effectively, making it an excellent pick

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
