The competitive meta

Best converter in the format: won Regional Bielefeld (1,541 players, 4 Jul) and Regional Toulouse (1,024, 27 Jun), put 5 of 8 into Regional Utrecht's top cut, and added the (smaller, 250-player) Treasure Cup Utrecht title. No other leader is close on top-8 count.

21.6% meta share (813/3,747 pts, past-month window); 11 of 32 top-8 slots across the four Jun 20–Jul 12 majors; 162 all-time placings incl. 8 wins on Limitless

Most-played deck in the OP16 format and consistently converts: 2nd/3rd/4th at Regional Peoria (1,117 players, 20 Jun), 4th and 6th at Regional Toulouse, 6th at Regional Utrecht. No regional win in this exact window, but its share and top-cut density define what every deck must beat.

#1 meta share at 24.5% (924/3,747 pts); 143 all-time placings incl. 6 wins

The breakout OP16 leader: 6 top-8s across the four majors (3rd, 6th, 8th at Bielefeld; 3rd, 7th at Toulouse; 5th at Peoria) and won Treasure Cup Bielefeld (764 players, 5 Jul). Share and conversion both S-caliber one month after release.

21.9% meta share (825/3,747 pts); 66 placings incl. 2 wins since OP16 released

Won the most recent regional in the dataset (Regional Utrecht, 788 players, 11 Jul, Tom Kaiser) and added 5th at Toulouse plus 7th/8th at Peoria — 4 top-8s at the four majors on a third of the play rate of the S decks.

8.3% meta share (312/3,747 pts); 23 placings incl. 1 win since OP16 release

Massive overperformer relative to play rate: won Regional Peoria (1,117 players, 20 Jun, BahiaéBH), 2nd at Regional Toulouse and 5th at Regional Utrecht — 3 major top-8s including a title from a tiny pilot base.

Only 2.8% meta share (105 pts), but 28 placings incl. 1 regional win

Earns A on sustained representation and volume of placings, but conversion at the regionals themselves is soft: zero top-8s at the four majors. Its recent results live in the Treasure Cups — 3rd and 7th at Bielefeld (764 players), 5th at Utrecht, 7th at Toulouse.

4th-most played at 9.3% meta share (351/3,747 pts); 57 all-time placings incl. 1 win

Nearly won the biggest event of the window — 2nd at Regional Bielefeld (1,541 players, 4 Jul) plus 11th at Treasure Cup Utrecht — but the archetype is a rounding error in play rate, so one pilot's spike is the bulk of its evidence.

0.9% meta share; only 5 recorded placings

Real but thin results: 5th at Treasure Cup Bielefeld (764 players, 5 Jul) is its one verified top cut, on 5 recorded placings since OP16's release. Shows the new set's black package can compete, without regional top-cut proof yet.

1.4% meta share; 5 placings since OP16 release

Two genuine spikes — 4th at Regional Bielefeld (1,541 players) and 6th at the 256-player Treasure Cup Peoria (20 Jun edition) — but a two-placing sample keeps it at B until more pilots repeat the result.

0.9% meta share; just 2 recorded placings
