The story so far

One Piece Mihawk ban

6 steps so far · Updated

Mihawk wasn't even an OP-17 card, and he still ran the OP-17 format. The OP-14 Green Leader picked up new top end from the set, sat on top of the tracker, and Bandai pulled him on October 12, saying the newer boosters had made his combos stronger than planned. Here's how it went, one step at a time, and where the field goes from here.

What to watch next

Two things. When Bandai actually hands out the reworked P-163 Mihawk Leader (the notice says future events, no date), and whether an OP-18 Leader takes the seat he left. Until November 20, the post-ban field is the one you're testing into.
