By OPTCG Meta data desk

Numbers from since the 2026-10-12 banlist took effect (2026-10-12 to 2026-11-05), n=842 players in 38 events, computed 2026-11-05, snapshot 2026-11-05-8db7811c. Numbers as of 2026-11-05; the live metagame is now since the 2026-10-12 banlist took effect, n=855 (Rocks.D.Xebec OP17-039 (Blue) 16.7% then, 16.6% now; Monkey.D.Luffy OP13-001 (Red/Green) 9.6% then, 9.8% now; Luffy & Ace ST30-001 (Red/Green) 8.0% then, 7.8% now).

What moved

Donquixote Rosinante OP12-061 (Purple/Yellow) is one of the few leaders gaining ground this week. Its share of registered players in the last 7 days is 5.6%, against 4.1% in the prior 7 days, a change of +1.5 points. Only Kaido OP17-058 (Purple) moved more, at +3.3.

Over the full metagame window (since the 2026-10-12 banlist), Rosinante has a share of 4.8% of registered players, which is 40 players. Its tournament win rate (non-mirror matches) is 50.0%, from a record of 90-90-1, with a 95% interval of 43-57%. So the deck is seeing more play, but the results so far show no edge over a coin flip.

Matchups that matter

Two of the biggest tournament matchups involve Rosinante:

Xebec itself sits at 50.8% tournament win rate (non-mirror matches), with a share of 16.7% in the window. Xebec's last-7 share is 16.7% against 19.8% in the prior 7 days (-3.1), so some of Rosinante's gain may come from players looking for an alternative. The data cannot confirm that.

How it compares

Rosinante's share rise is therefore not backed by stronger results than the leaders above it. Kaido OP17-058 is a similar case: a rising share paired with a 45.0% win rate.

What to watch

The next snapshot will show whether the +1.5 move holds and whether the Luffy & Ace record leaves the small-sample range. A larger sample against Xebec would show whether the near-even record is real.
