Welcome to our One Piece Card Game Meta Tier List for OP11 - A Fist of Divine Speed!
With the OP-11 format well underway in the East (Japan), the dominance of Purple Monkey D. Luffy archetypes has become a clear trend. This powerful presence is likely to continue shaping the metagame for the foreseeable future, establishing a benchmark against which other decks must be evaluated. Indeed, the current environment necessitates that aspiring competitive decks possess a viable strategy against these top-tier contenders. While OP11-040-monkeydluffy has emerged as a particularly formidable force, the format still offers a diverse range of mid-tier leaders capable of achieving success in the right hands.
Tier Explanation
This tier list analyzes the top decks in the current metagame, based on tournament results, online ranked stats, and my expert evaluation. We've categorized archetypes into four tiers by relevance, from strongest to weakest within each tier. Winning decklists and top-performing ranked builds inform these rankings.
Tier 1: These are the meta's top contenders, consistently topping events and boasting the highest ranked win rates. For the best chance at consistent tournament success, these are your go-to decks.
Tier 2: These are strong decks capable of securing tournament wins and high ranks. While not as consistently dominant as Tier 1, success often hinges on strong piloting, matchup knowledge, and potentially a favorable meta or some luck for consistent top finishes.
Tier 3: These decks remain relevant in the meta and can achieve occasional wins, even against higher tiers. However, their overall consistency is lower, making significant tournament success less likely without specific advantages or innovative play.
Dark Horse: Decks in this tier show high win rates in their limited appearances, indicating strong potential. However, they lack significant play in tournaments or ranked, making their overall viability uncertain. Watch these for potential meta breakthroughs.
Tier 1
Blue Purple Monkey D. Luffy
Featured Decklist Placement: Champion Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 52.9% over 19000+ games
Favored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Black Marshall D. Teach, Black Lucci, Red Shanks, Green Bonney
Unfavored Matchups: Red Yellow Belo Betty, Purple Luffy, Red Zoro
Without a shadow of a doubt, OP11-040-monkeydluffy is the defining force of the current OP-11 meta, so much so that the community is drawing parallels to previously banned, format-warping leaders. Its tournament success far outstrips that of any other leader, and its presence on the ranked simulator is staggering, exceeding the combined play rate of the next four most popular decks. Even under the weight of its overwhelming popularity, OP11-040-monkeydluffy maintains a dominant overall win rate, a testament to its sheer power. Furthermore, its presence in nearly every top-performing team at the recent 3v3 Japan tournaments underscores its undeniable supremacy in the competitive scene.
This week's featured decklist further exemplifies its strategic depth, notably utilizing OP10-079-god-thread. This inclusion appears to be a deliberate tech choice, aimed at effectively mitigating early and mid-game aggression from opposing units, ensuring OP11-040-monkeydluffy can establish its powerful late-game presence.
If your ambition is to consistently top and ultimately win tournaments in the OP-11 Eastern format, then OP11-040-monkeydluffy stands as the unequivocal and compelling choice.
Green Purple Monkey D. Luffy
Featured Decklist Placement: Top 8 Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 51.4% over 8000+ games
Favored Matchups: Purple Luffy, Black Marshall D. Teach
Unfavored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty, Black Lucci
Hot on the heels of the format's frontrunner stands EB02-010-monkeydluffy, firmly holding its position as the second most popular leader, a testament to its enduring consistency carried over from the EB02 era. This resilient archetype boasts respectable matchups across a significant portion of the meta and distinguishes itself as one of the few reliable contenders capable of challenging the dominance of OP11-040-monkeydluffy (even if the matchup leans slightly unfavorable).
This week's featured deck list for EB02-010-monkeydluffy largely adheres to established strategies, but intriguing tech choices warrant attention: the inclusion of EB02-019-roronoa-zoro and OP07-036-demonic-aura-nine-sword-style-asura-demon-nine-flash. These strategic inclusions likely serve as efficient answers to troublesome early-game units, allowing EB02-010-monkeydluffy to maintain board control and establish its mid-game dominance.
Purple Monkey D. Luffy
Featured Decklist Placement: Champion Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 52.9% over 3000+ games
Favored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Black Marshall D. Teach, Red Green Smoker, Red Zoro
Unfavored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty
Remarkably, the third spot on our list is yet another Luffy variant! OP05-060-monkeydluffy is making a significant comeback in the OP-11 format, largely because of the new card OP11-067-charlotte-katakuri. This powerful boss unit now makes it even more worthwhile to ramp DON!!, as it greatly helps the deck's defense in the late game.
Interestingly, the prevailing successful decklists for OP05-060-monkeydluffy have largely moved away from ST18-005-luffy-tarou. Instead, they are opting for a strategic trifecta: OP09-065-sanji for crucial mid-game board control, the aforementioned OP11-067-charlotte-katakuri for robust late-game defense, and the formidable OP09-119-monkeydluffy for late-game offensive pressure.
An intriguing tech choice in this week's featured decklist is the inclusion of two copies of EB01-039-conquerer-of-three-worlds-ragnaraku. This strategic inclusion likely serves as a direct answer to opposing OP11-067-charlotte-katakuri units in the mirror matchup, highlighting the level of nuanced counterplay already emerging at the top tiers of the OP-11 meta.
Red Yellow Belo Betty
Featured Decklist Placement: Top 2 Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 60.7% over 3000+ games
Favored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Green Purple Luffy, Purple Luffy, Red Green Smoker
Unfavored Matchups: Black Lucci, Red Zoro, Green Bonney
Breaking the Luffy trifecta in our Tier 1 category is the formidable OP05-002-belo-betty! This aggressive powerhouse has carved out an exceptional position in the current metagame, primarily due to its advantageous matchups against all three of the dominant Tier 1 Luffy variants. This makes OP05-002-belo-betty an outstanding counterpick for players anticipating a field saturated with the format's most popular leaders, offering a strategic edge against "meta slaves" in tournament settings.
The featured decklist this week further refines this aggressive strategy with the inclusion of several new and potent 2000-power counter options from recent sets. Notably, it utilizes OP11-106-zeus for both emergency card draw and efficient unit removal, alongside the valuable EB02-002-sabo and P-073-sabo-471, which not only provide reliable 2000-power counters but also synergize with the Revolutionary Army tag.
Tier 2
Red Roronoa Zoro
Featured Decklist Placement: Champion Shumai Cup
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 55.7% over 2000 games
Favored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty, Black Marshall D. Teach, Red Green Smoker
Unfavored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Purple Luffy, Black Lucci
Spearheading our Tier 2 selection this week is OP01-001-roronoa-zoro, effectively the aggressive counterpart to the Tier 1 juggernaut, OP05-002-belo-betty! OP01-001-roronoa-zoro presents itself as a respectable choice in the current meta, boasting reasonable matchups against a significant number of top-tier contenders. However, its slightly less favorable positioning compared to OP05-002-belo-betty stems from its vulnerability to a notable portion of the upper echelons of the meta, preventing it from reaching the same level of consistent dominance.
The featured decklist for OP01-001-roronoa-zoro this week adheres to the well-established Animal-themed build, offering a straightforward and familiar approach for players experienced with the archetype. While perhaps lacking groundbreaking innovations, this standard list provides a solid foundation for leveraging Zoro's inherent aggression and capitalizing on its favorable matchups.
Black Marshall D. Teach
Featured Decklist Placement: Top 4 Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 49.6% over 3000+ games
Favored Matchups: Black Lucci, Red Shanks, Green Yellow Smoker
Unfavored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Green Purple Luffy, Purple Luffy, Red Green Smoker
Purely based on the raw statistics, OP09-081-marshalldteach appears to be facing a challenging environment, notably struggling in unfavorable matchups against three of the dominant Luffy variants. Despite this statistical headwind, this leader remarkably remains one of the most frequently played decks in the current meta. However, the archetype's overall win rate continues to hover in negative territory, suggesting a disconnect between its popularity and consistent success.
Interestingly, despite these numerical challenges, dedicated and skilled pilots of OP09-081-marshalldteach are still managing to find success in tournament settings. This indicates that mastery of the deck and a deep understanding of matchup dynamics can still yield positive results. The featured decklist this week leans heavily into a control-oriented strategy, prioritizing extensive removal options through the inclusion of multiple copies of EB01-051-finger-pistol, OP09-098-black-hole, and OP10-098-liberation.
Black Rob Lucci
Featured Decklist Placement: Champion Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 48.7% over 2500+ games
Favored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty, Red Green Smoker
Unfavored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Purple Luffy, Black Marshall D. Teach
OP07-079-rob-lucci finds itself in a somewhat analogous position to OP09-081-marshalldteach, where the raw statistics might not paint a favorable picture, yet skilled players are demonstrably achieving success in tournament environments. However, OP07-079-rob-lucci appears to have a more advantageous matchup spread, notably holding a favorable edge against two of the four Tier 1 decks currently dominating the meta.
Unsurprisingly, contemporary OP07-079-rob-lucci decklists are now centered around the powerful OP02-121-kuzan. An intriguing tech inclusion in this week's featured decklist is the strategic use of ST08-014-gum-gum-bell. This card likely serves as a targeted answer to the large, impactful units prevalent in the top Luffy variants.
Green Bonney
Featured Decklist Placement: Champion Kogiraffe 2v2
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 54.2% over 1500+ games
Favored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty, Purple Luffy
Unfavored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Black Marshall D. Teach, Black Lucci
It's fantastic to see my personal favorite, OP07-019-jewelry-bonney, performing quite well in the OP-11 environment! Its ability to hold its own with decent matchups against a significant portion of the top-tier decks is certainly encouraging. While the statistical data suggests an unfavorable pairing against the format's current king, OP11-040-monkeydluffy, my personal experience suggests a more nuanced dynamic. In practice, this matchup often feels like a tightrope walk, where player skill and the specific card draws of each individual can heavily influence the outcome.
A notable and strategic inclusion in OP11 OP07-019-jewelry-bonney builds is the return of OP06-118-roronoa-zoro. This card appears is a key component in securing victories against the meta's top menace, OP11-040-monkeydluffy.
Red Green Smoker
Featured Decklist Placement: Top 4 Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 49% over 2500+ games
Favored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Black Teach
Unfavored Matchups: Red Yellow Belo Betty, Purple Luffy, Black Lucci
OP10-001-smoker remains a viable leader to pilot, as its inherent aggressive potential can still allow for opportunistic wins, even against the top-tier decks that dominate the meta. Notably, it holds a favorable edge against both OP09-081-marshalldteach and EB02-010-monkeydluffy. However, the deck can suffer from inconsistencies in the early to mid-game. A poor initial hand can quickly lead to falling behind, particularly against aggressive strategies that capitalize on early momentum.
This week's featured decklist for OP10-001-smoker largely adheres to established builds, with two interesting new additions from the OP-11 set: OP11-004-kujyaku to improve early-game consistency, and OP11-018-honesty-impact to provide valuable late-game removal.
Tier 3
Red Shanks
Featured Decklist Winrate: 60.9% over 69 games
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 47.3% over 1500+ games
Favored Matchups: Purple Luffy, Black Lucci, Red Green Smoker
Unfavored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Black Marshall D. Teach, Red Yellow Belo Betty
OP09-001-shanks has experienced a dramatic decline in its competitive standing compared to its prominent placements in previous formats, with its overall win rate currently sitting at a concerningly low point in the OP-11 environment. However, amidst this general downturn, there are still emerging decklists that show promise and could potentially achieve more favorable results with further refinement and adaptation to the new meta.
This week's featured decklist for OP09-001-shanks adheres to a relatively standard removal-based strategy with OP03-013-marco, ST15-002-edwardnewgate and OP06-007-shanks.
Green Yellow Law
Featured Decklist Winrate: 59.4% over 64 games
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 51.4% over 1500+ games
Favored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Purple Luffy, Green Purple Luffy
Unfavored Matchups: Red Yellow Belo Betty, Black Marshall D. Teach, Black Lucci
Despite its currently low representation in the OP-11 meta, OP10-022-trafalgar-law stands out as a high-potential archetype, primarily due to its remarkably favorable matchup spread against all three of the dominant Luffy variants! This unique advantage positions it as a potentially powerful counter in the current environment. However, the deck's complexity cannot be understated, demanding careful consideration of numerous options and intricate sequencing decisions on every turn, which likely contributes to its lower play rate.
Recent iterations of OP10-022-trafalgar-law have incorporated several intriguing new inclusions. The versatile OP11-106-zeus provides recurring removal capabilities, while OP06-035-hody-jones offers a strong option for closing out games decisively. This week's featured decklist even showcases a tech inclusion of OP10-030-smoker to help apply additional mid-game pressure.
Blue Yellow Nami
Featured Decklist Placement: Champion Hirokoma Box Shop Event
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 41.9% over 2000+ games
Favored Matchups: Red Green Smoker
Unfavored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Green Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty, Purple Luffy, Black Teach, Black Lucci
Despite the significant anticipation and hype surrounding its release with OP-11, OP11-041-nami initially struggled to find its footing in the competitive landscape, failing to achieve notable success in both tournaments and on the ranked ladder. However, the recent release of Starter Deck 22 appears to have injected new life into the archetype, providing a much-needed boost to its viability.
Multiple deckbuilding approaches are now finding success, largely attributed to the powerful new additions from the Starter Deck, most notably ST22-005-. This card exhibits exceptional resilience against removal effects, making it a persistent threat on the board. Furthermore, its green-like restand ability allows it to exert continuous pressure on the opponent, potentially leading to aggressive openings and sustained offensive momentum. This new support could be the key to unlocking Nami's long-awaited potential in the OP-11 meta.
Dark Horse Tier
Purple Katakuri
Featured Decklist Placement: Top 2 Bandai Spring 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): 42.1% over 500+ games
Favored Matchups: Purple Luffy, Red Shanks
Unfavored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty, Black Teach, Black Lucci
Our first entry in the Dark Horse category is OP11-062-charlotte-katakuri. Currently, this leader exhibits both a low win rate and a limited presence on the ranked ladder, suggesting it hasn't yet found a consistent or widely adopted strategy. However, a recent noteworthy achievement – a high placement in the Japan Spring 3v3 tournament – hints at untapped potential within this archetype. This unexpected success in a high-level competitive environment could very well spark renewed interest and drive further innovation in deckbuilding and playstyles for OP11-062-charlotte-katakuri. Keep an eye on this one; it might just surprise us!
Black Purple Monkey D. Luffy
Featured Decklist Placement: Top 3 Shop Event 3v3
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): N/A
Favored Matchups: N/A
Unfavored Matchups: N/A
Joining OP11-062-charlotte-katakuri in our Dark Horse category is the enigmatic OP09-061-monkeydluffy. Similar to the Purple Katakuri deck, this leader recently secured a notable placement in the Japan Spring 3v3 tournament, signaling potential that goes beyond current meta perceptions. Intriguingly, the player who piloted this successful run has yet to reveal their specific decklist, adding an extra layer of mystery to its current viability.
As a result, we're featuring the most recent publicly available winning decklist for OP09-061-monkeydluffy as a placeholder. This archetype is currently so under the radar that we lack sufficient data from online ranked to accurately determine its win rate, play rate, and key matchups. This makes OP09-061-monkeydluffy a prime candidate for observation – a true rogue deck with the potential to surprise and innovate as the meta evolves.
Blue Red Marco
Featured Decklist Placement: Champion Flagship Event
Overall Winrate (Ranked Sim): N/A
Favored Matchups: Green Purple Luffy, Red Shanks
Unfavored Matchups: Blue Purple Luffy, Red Yellow Belo Betty, Black Teach, Black Lucci
OP08-002-marco is another high-potential rogue deck that can catch opponents by surprise, due to its wide potential of deckbuilding. There is not much data yet for OP08-002-marco, but a recent successful build that won a Flagship tournament utilized the new star from Starter Deck 22, ST22-005-.
