🕑 Added 2025-03-20 17:00:21 +0000 UTC
Introduction
With the bans now in effect, we have our first glimpse into how the meta is evolving post-adjustment. Thanks to early data from OPBounty, we can see which decks are performing well and how players are adapting to this new landscape.
While the format is still in flux, initial results give us a strong indication of which strategies are gaining traction and what adjustments are being made in response to the shake-up. Players are refining their deck choices, exploring new tech options, and adjusting to the meta shifts brought on by these changes.
This report serves as an early snapshot of the competitive scene, highlighting decks that have adapted well, emerging trends, and potential metagame developments in the weeks to come. Expect further refinements and counterplay adjustments as the meta stabilizes, but for now, let’s take a closer look at the decks shaping the OP-10 competitive environment.
Zoro: The Premier Aggro Deck of OP-10
Zoro has stormed into the OP-10 meta, solidifying itself as the premier aggro deck of the format. With an impressive win rate and high play rate, it’s clear that Zoro is not just a passing trend—it’s dominating the early landscape. Aggro strategies traditionally perform well at the start of a new format, but the question remains: can Zoro maintain this momentum and stay at the top as the meta stabilizes?
Unlike previous iterations, this version of Zoro isn’t just a strong contender—it’s setting the pace for the format, punishing slower decks before they can establish control. Much like how Belo Betty made waves in OP-09, Zoro is leveraging explosive turns and relentless early pressure to overwhelm opponents. As players refine their lists and adapt to counterplay, it will be crucial to see whether Zoro can hold onto its position or if the meta will shift to keep it in check. For now, however, Zoro is the deck to beat.
Shanks: Versatile and Thriving in OP-10
Shanks continues to be a strong performer in the OP-10 meta, proving its adaptability in the evolving format. Many builds have shifted toward a more aggressive game plan, incorporating key ST21 cards alongside classic Straw Hat synergies to apply early pressure. Despite this shift, some lists are still leaning into a late-game control strategy, showcasing the leader’s versatility.
No matter the approach, Shanks is consistently putting up strong results, solidifying itself as a top contender early in the format. As the meta develops, it will be interesting to see whether the aggressive variant remains dominant or if control-focused builds find a way to rise to the forefront. For now, Shanks is proving to be a flexible and high-performing leader in OP-10.
Bonney: A Consistent Top Contender in OP-10
Bonney continues to hold its place as a reliable top performer in OP-10, proving once again that skillful play and consistency make it a rewarding choice for experienced pilots. Its ability to maintain a strong presence across multiple formats highlights just how well-rounded the deck is, with precise decision-making and optimized sequencing being key to its success.
As the OP-10 meta evolves, Bonney remains adaptable, with players exploring new tech choices to refine their builds and respond to emerging threats. While its position in the upper tiers looks secure for now, its long-term standing will depend on how well it can adjust to shifts in the competitive landscape. One thing is certain—Bonney’s reliability ensures it will remain a force to be reckoned with.
Blackbeard (Teach): A Rising Power with Challenges Ahead
Blackbeard continues to gain traction in OP-10, strengthened by key additions like Kuzan and the new Liberation, which further refine its already formidable control game. These upgrades allow it to methodically dismantle opponents while maintaining a dominant board presence, making it an appealing choice for players who thrive on precise, calculated play.
However, the rise of aggressive decks in the current meta presents a new challenge. With Zoro leading the charge as the premier aggro deck, alongside other fast-paced strategies gaining popularity, Blackbeard will need to adapt. While it excels against slower, methodical matchups where it can leverage its leader ability to full effect, mitigating early pressure from hyper-aggressive decks will be crucial for its long-term success.
As players refine their lists to handle this new wave of aggression, Blackbeard remains a strong contender. If it can find the right balance between control and early stabilization, it has the potential to solidify its position as a top-tier deck in OP-10.
Purple Luffy: The Unstoppable Juggernaut of OP-10
Purple Luffy continues to dominate OP-10, proving itself as one of the most explosive and relentless decks in the format. Its ability to apply immediate pressure and swing momentum in an instant makes it a nightmare for opponents, forcing them to play reactively from the mid-game onward.
However, with aggro decks like Zoro flooding the meta, Purple Luffy will need to strike the right balance between aggression and survivability to maintain its dominance.
For players who thrive on tempo-driven, high-impact decision-making, Purple Luffy remains a top-tier choice. Its raw power and explosive plays make it a defining force in OP-10—and a deck no one can afford to ignore.
R/G Smoker: A Rising Threat in OP-10
R/G Smoker continues to gain traction in OP-10, proving itself as a powerful and flexible leader with the potential to shape the evolving meta. By blending aggression with control elements, the deck pressures opponents from multiple angles, making it a dynamic and difficult matchup for many strategies.
As the format develops, players are fine-tuning their lists, optimizing card choices, and exploring the best ways to navigate the current aggro-heavy landscape. While R/G Smoker is still in its early refinement stage, its strong card pool and adaptable game plan suggest it could become a staple of the meta.
With continued adjustments and innovation, this deck has all the tools to establish itself as a serious contender in OP-10. Keep an eye on Smoker—it’s only getting stronger.
Doflamingo: Still a Top Contender Post-Ban
With the bans now in effect and Jinbe out of the picture, Doflamingo remains a strong presence in the OP-10 meta. Despite the loss of a key deck in the format, Doflamingo's core game plan remains intact, and its consistency continues to make it a top-tier option.
One major benefit for Doflamingo is the disappearance of Gecko Moria decks, one of its worst matchups. Without that obstacle, the deck has even more room to thrive, maintaining its signature blend of efficient plays and relentless board control.
While the meta is still settling, all signs point to Doflamingo holding its spot near the top. As players fine-tune their lists to adapt to the evolving landscape, expect this deck to remain a premier choice in OP-10.
Yellow Kid: A Rising Star in OP-10
Yellow Kid, one of the most anticipated leaders from OP-10, is already proving to be a strong contender in the early meta. With a unique leader ability that differentiates it from other yellow decks, it introduces a fresh playstyle that rewards strategic decision-making and adaptability.
Its solid matchup spread has helped it secure a consistent presence in the Top 10, showing promise against a variety of archetypes. As the format continues to evolve and players refine their builds, Yellow Kid is only getting stronger, positioning itself as a real threat in the competitive scene.
With further optimization, this deck has the potential to cement its place among the best in OP-10. Expect to see more of Yellow Kid as the meta takes shape.
Red/Purple Luffy: The Final Wild Card of OP10
As OP10 unfolds, Red/Purple Luffy continues to be one of the format’s most unpredictable and adaptable decks. Its ability to seamlessly shift between aggression and midrange control has cemented its place as a persistent threat, capable of outmaneuvering even the most refined meta decks.
Mastering this deck demands quick decision-making and a deep understanding of tempo, making it a perfect choice for players who thrive on dynamic, high-risk, high-reward strategies.
As OP10 shapes up, Red/Purple Luffy remains a true wild card—keeping the meta on its toes and proving that unpredictability can be just as powerful as raw consistency.
G/P Lim: A Unique Contender on the Rise
Rounding out our Top 10 this week is Lim, a leader with a powerful ability that allows it to flood the board and apply consistent pressure. Its unique playstyle and multiple decision-making paths make it one of the most intriguing decks in OP-10, rewarding players who can optimize its lines of play.
While Lim is still in the early stages of refinement, its potential is undeniable. As players fine-tune their lists and gain more experience with its intricate mechanics, we expect this deck to climb the ranks in the coming weeks.
For those looking for a dynamic and rewarding deck, Lim is shaping up to be one of the most interesting and skill-intensive choices in OP-10. Keep an eye on this one—it has the tools to break into the top tier.
Conclusion: The OP-10 Meta Takes Shape
With the bans now in effect and the format beginning to stabilize, we’re seeing clear front-runners emerge in OP-10. Zoro has firmly established itself as the premier aggro deck, boasting an impressive win rate and dominating early play. Meanwhile, Purple Luffy continues to be an unstoppable force, leveraging its explosive power to remain a top-tier threat.
Doflamingo remains a strong presence, maintaining its consistency and effectiveness in the evolving meta. Blackbeard is also proving to be a powerful force, though it will need to adjust to the rise of hyper-aggressive strategies. Shanks is showing its versatility, with both aggressive and control-oriented builds finding success.
Newcomers are also making their mark. Yellow Kid is living up to its hype with a strong presence in the top 10, while R/G Smoker and G/P Lim are gaining traction as players refine their lists. These leaders bring fresh strategies to the table and could shake up the meta further in the coming weeks.
Overall, the OP-10 landscape is starting to solidify, but with ongoing deck refinements, tech choices, and counterplay adaptations, the meta is far from settled. As players continue to test and optimize, expect further shifts and surprises in the weeks ahead. One thing is certain—OP-10 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and diverse formats yet.

Hi
Kannon Biell
I don’t understand how the chart is read. Vertically and horizontally who wins each matchup. Very confusing

How are the decklists chosen? Is it an average of all the deck options available? A snapshot of the highest win rate option?
