1. The Meta in Short
This issue covers the first three weeks of OP17 + EB05 in the West, October 18 to November 7, 2026. The first two are the online events that switched to the new set early, the same ones as issue #6. The third is the first week with EB05 in stores, so from November 1 store results and games logged in the app count too. Extra Grand Battle events are left out, as always.
- RG Luffy pulled away. RG Luffy held 22.4% of the seats and won 65.4% last week, on the biggest sample of any leader. It took 26 of the 55 top cuts of the week, almost half. Over the three weeks it wins 61.2%, the best of any ranked leader.
- Yellow Enel had a rough week. Yellow Enel is still S on the three weeks, and still the deck with the best record against RG Luffy, 68%. But last week it won 44.4% and made no top cut, and on that week alone it's B.
- GY Robin is the first EB05 leader to break through. GY Robin went from 2.1% to 5.4% of the seats and took five top cuts last week. It's ranked for the first time, A on the window and S on last week alone.
- Rocks drops to B. Rocks is still the most played deck, but after a 58.7% first week it won 38.8% and 40.0% in the next two. Issue #6 had it in A on two weeks; with the third one in, it's B.
- Blue Buggy started converting. Blue Buggy had two top cuts in the first two weeks and five last week, and it's above 54% in all three. S for the second issue running.
