Tier S — meta-defining — expected to win large events regularly

the field: 3% share, 56% win over 263 decks — disagrees with the S call.

One creator's opinion, published 2026-09-06. Not a measurement, and not ours.

Play 5-cost-and-up bodies to turn the Leader on, buff the whole board with the Elbaf package, and attack with all of it.

What it does well: Wide, fast and DON!!-efficient, and the board buff works on defence as well as offence.
The Elbaf package fits the Leader's requirement better than anything it has had before.
Where it struggles: Expected to come back toward the pack as opponents learn how to play against the aggression.

Cards it names

Said to beat Purple Kaido Red/Purple Luffy

Said to lose to Blue/Yellow Nami

Copies are averaged over the decks that run the card, not over every deck on this Leader — a card in 40% of lists at four copies is a four-of that gets cut, not a 1.6-of.
