OP10 Weekly Meta Snapshot
With the recent bans now active, the OP10 competitive scene is beginning to take clearer shape. Thanks to early data from OPBounty, we’re seeing which decks are emerging as dominant forces—and how players are adjusting to a refreshed format.
While the meta is still settling, several patterns are already taking root. Some decks have quickly adapted and surged ahead, while others are undergoing fine-tuning to stay relevant. From tried-and-true aggro to innovative control builds, the landscape is wide open—and constantly shifting.
This report captures the key decks making waves this week, the strategies gaining traction, and the adjustments players are making to stay ahead in OP10.
Zoro: Still the Top Aggro Threat in OP10
Zoro continues to dominate the top tables, holding onto its status as the premier aggro deck for yet another week. What started as an early front-runner has become a sustained powerhouse, with explosive pressure and fast-paced lines that few decks can match.
Its ability to consistently close games before slower decks stabilize makes Zoro the gold standard for aggressive strategies. While players are actively testing countermeasures, nothing has consistently knocked Zoro off its throne. For now, it's still the deck to beat.
Shanks: A Surge in Popularity and Build Diversity
Shanks is seeing a sharp rise in play this week, as players explore various builds that showcase the leader's versatility. From aggressive ST21-based lists to slower control hybrids, Shanks is proving it can flex between archetypes without losing power.
This build diversity reflects Shanks’ strength as a leader—one that’s quickly becoming a staple of the format. Whether it settles into a clear optimal line or continues to support multiple approaches, one thing’s clear: Shanks is here to stay.
Purple Luffy: Consistent, Explosive, and Easy to Pick Up
Purple Luffy remains one of the most reliable performers in OP10. With a strong tempo game, explosive swing turns, and minimal reliance on new cards, it offers both power and accessibility.
Outside of a few tech cards aimed at surviving early aggro, the deck’s core remains untouched. It's a fantastic option for players who value high-impact turns and straightforward win conditions—still very much a top-tier force in the meta.
Bonney: Reliable, Refined, and Still a Threat
Bonney continues to shine as a rock-solid, all-around performer. Its flexibility, value generation, and tight sequencing reward skilled players and provide consistent results week after week.
As players adjust tech choices to deal with new threats, Bonney's core strategy remains stable and effective. It may not always be the flashiest deck in the room, but its fundamentals keep it at the top of the pack.
Blackbeard (Teach): Popular, Powerful, and Facing the Meta Head-On
Teach has exploded in popularity this week, quickly becoming one of the most-played decks in OP10. Backed by powerful tools like Kuzan and Liberation, Blackbeard offers strong control options and relentless value.
However, with aggro decks like Zoro rampant, Teach must adapt quickly to avoid being overwhelmed early. Players are actively refining anti-aggro tech to survive those critical first turns. With the right adjustments, Blackbeard has everything it needs to remain a major force in the meta.
Doflamingo: Still Standing Strong in a Post-Ban Meta
Despite the recent bans—most notably Jinbe and the fall of Gecko Moria—Doflamingo remains a formidable force in OP10. Its synergy-driven engine and board control remain intact, allowing it to maintain a strong presence in the evolving format.
With one of its worst matchups out of the picture, Doffy has more room to operate effectively. It may not dominate headlines, but its consistency and strategic depth keep it securely in top-tier conversation.
G/P Lim: Climbing with Refinement and Optimization
Lim continues to rise through the ranks this week as players refine builds and discover optimal openers. Improved early-game sequencing and tighter deck construction have helped boost its overall performance and consistency.
With a playstyle built around wide boards and flexible pressure, Lim rewards strategic decision-making and matchup knowledge. It’s still a developing archetype, but all signs point to a bright competitive future for this skill-intensive leader.
R/G Smoker: Gaining Momentum with Each Iteration
R/G Smoker has gained noticeable traction this week. Combining tempo pressure with midgame control, the deck is striking a solid balance in an aggro-heavy environment.
Refinements in curve efficiency and interaction are paying off, with Smoker seeing better matchups across the board. As pilots grow more familiar with its nuances, this deck is steadily pushing toward the upper tier of OP10.
Red/Purple Luffy: The Meta’s Wild Card with Serious Bite
Red/Purple Luffy continues to thrive as one of OP10’s most unpredictable decks. Capable of shifting between early aggression and calculated control, it thrives in the hands of players who enjoy explosive, high-ceiling strategies.
This week, further refinement has improved its consistency, and pilots are getting more out of its dynamic playstyle. While not the easiest deck to master, its potential to upset even the most prepared opponents makes it a true wild card in the current meta.
Yellow Kid: Breaking Out and Gaining Ground
Yellow Kid is turning early excitement into real results. With a leader ability that rewards planning and resource manipulation, it offers a refreshing twist on yellow’s usual mechanics.
As builds tighten and players find more optimal sequencing, Yellow Kid is proving itself into a wide range of matchups. If its upward trend continues, it may soon join the conversation among OP10’s top control decks.
Conclusion
The OP10 meta is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and dynamic yet. While established powerhouses like Zoro and Purple Luffy continue to lead through consistency and pressure, we’re also seeing a healthy influx of innovation. Decks like Shanks and Blackbeard are gaining traction through build flexibility, while emerging contenders like Lim, Smoker, and Yellow Kid are finding their footing with refined strategies and stronger openers.
The format is still in flux, but one thing is certain: whether you’re chasing meta dominance or exploring off-meta potential, OP10 has no shortage of competitive options—and it’s only just getting started.

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!
