Everything about OP17 so far has been online data and marketplace noise. From 4 September, physical results start arriving.
What I will be capturing
- Field share by exact leader, not by colour or archetype.
- Top-cut conversion rather than winner-only reporting.
- Repeated three- and four-of OP17 cards across independent lists.
- Whether Mihawk converts above its representation.
- Whether black Luffy repeats beyond one online cup.
- Rocks' win rate relative to its high adoption.
- Whether established shells like Sabo outperform the new OP17 leaders.
- Differences between Utrecht and Brisbane before generalising globally.
