Introduction
With Week 4 of the EB02 format now complete, the meta has begun to take a more defined shape. Green/Purple Luffy still leads the pack, but more decks are emerging with refined strategies, sharper lists, and stronger results. While the format remains centered on tempo and efficiency, the growing presence of smart counterplay has created a healthier competitive field. Let’s take a look at the top contenders and shifting dynamics this week.

🥇 Green/Purple Luffy – Still the Benchmark

G/P Luffy continues to set the standard in EB02. With its reliable ramp, potent draw power, and a well-rounded toolkit, the deck consistently applies pressure while scaling into the late game.
Its flexibility lets skilled pilots push advantages at nearly every stage, and while more decks are rising to challenge it, Luffy remains the most consistent performer week after week. It’s still the deck to beat—and one most players are measuring their builds against.

🔪 Blackbeard (Teach) – Control with Staying Power

Teach continues to thrive through calculated, attrition-based play. Its strength lies in punishing overextension and forcing slower, grindy games where it excels.
It may struggle against faster, aggressive decks without careful pacing, but for those who can read the game state and manage tempo shifts, Teach offers a rewarding and competitive option.

🥵 Belo Betty – Pressure Refined

Belo Betty has surged in both popularity and performance, thriving off early pressure and strong curve plays. The deck has become more streamlined, with pilots optimizing their early turns to punish unprepared opponents.
Its matchup into G/P Luffy has improved, and the overall shift away from defensive red tech has given Betty room to breathe. If you’re looking to win fast and capitalize on hesitation, Betty is this week’s aggro pick.

🔴 Shanks – Adaptable and Steady

Shanks remains one of the most flexible leaders in the format. Players have leaned into more control-oriented builds, which have helped it stay competitive into aggressive opponents.
Shanks doesn’t overwhelm with brute force but instead thrives on smart sequencing and matchup awareness. It’s a strong choice for players who want to adjust their pace and plan on the fly.

🌿 Bonney – The Meta’s Foundation

Bonney continues to hold firm with clean, efficient gameplay. Though it hasn’t evolved much since the beginning of the format, its fundamentals remain incredibly solid—tempo control, clean board presence, and well-structured turns.
While it may lack the explosive plays of higher-tier decks, Bonney rewards disciplined pilots and remains a top pick for those who value execution and consistency over risk.

🎲 Red/Purple Luffy – Unpredictable Power

R/P Luffy is slowly climbing back into the conversation. Its chaotic blend of control and burst potential makes it difficult to pin down—and dangerous in the hands of players who can leverage its swing turns.
New tech like Mole Gun has given the deck a better shot into matchups like G/P Luffy, adding disruption that forces opponents to stay on their toes. While still volatile, R/P Luffy is capable of big upsets.

🧢 Lucci – Evolving Aggro-Control

Lucci has quietly improved with tighter lists and a more refined curve. It’s no longer trying to recapture its past power—instead, it’s carving a new identity built around efficient board control and quick tempo shifts.
Although it still feels the loss of cards like Moria, the deck is gaining traction as a calculated option for players looking to counter popular board-based threats.

🧠 Vegapunk – Climbing Without Noise

Vegapunk’s rise has been slow but steady. With EB02 giving it more consistency and smoother transitions between early and late game, the deck now feels more complete.
It doesn’t make headlines, but its balanced game plan and solid matchups across the board give it real staying power. Expect it to keep climbing quietly.

🚀 Green/Purple Lim – Consistency is Key

Lim remains one of the most stable leaders in the format. With early board presence, versatile interaction, and dependable value plays, it continues to deliver consistent results across a variety of matchups.
Though not flashy or reinvented, Lim’s reliability makes it a strong contender in any tournament setting.

⚔️ Zoro – Back With a Vengeance

Zoro has reentered the top ranks by doubling down on what it does best: go wide and go fast. Its ability to flood the board and maintain aggressive pressure is proving effective once again, especially against slower, setup-focused decks.
Zoro’s comeback this week shows that raw speed and solid fundamentals can still steal games in a meta full of careful planning.

Conclusion
Week 4 has brought more structure to the EB02 meta, with G/P Luffy continuing to lead—but not without growing pressure from the likes of Belo Betty, refined Shanks builds, and revitalized decks like R/P Luffy and Lucci. While some decks are clearly ahead in consistency, the format continues to reward players who adapt, innovate, and play with precision. The finish line is approaching, and with it, one of the most dynamic metagames in recent memory.
