Tier B — competitive — expected to make top 32

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

Keep the opponent's Characters rested turn after turn so their board never gets to act.

What it does well: Resting the opponent's board is a strong plan in this format, and this Leader does it every turn for free.
The new 7-cost green body is a game-changer alongside the 10-cost finisher.
Where it struggles: It is worse into the three decks expected at the top, which is what keeps it out of A.

Cards it names

Said to beat Red/Blue Lucy

Said to lose to Red/Black Sabo Green Mihawk Red Ace

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.
