The new era launches with {{deck:Kylo (LOF) DV}} claiming the top spot at {{kylo_lof_dv_winrate}}% win rate across {{kylo_lof_dv_matches}} matches — the only deck breaking the 50% threshold with meaningful volume. Meanwhile, {{deck:Piett Red 30}} dominates the field at {{piett_red_30_share}}% meta share but struggles at just {{piett_red_30_winrate}}% win rate. The meta's early signal: popularity doesn't equal performance.

Kylo Stands Alone at the Top

{{deck:Kylo (LOF) DV}} is the only archetype posting a winning record with serious volume in week one. At {{kylo_lof_dv_winrate}}% across {{kylo_lof_dv_matches}} matches, Kylo sits nearly 3 percentage points ahead of {{deck:Sabé TT}}, the next-best performer with meaningful data. That gap matters — it's the difference between a deck you can trust and one you're gambling on.

The conversion rate tells the same story: {{kylo_lof_dv_conversion}}% of Kylo pilots are making top 8, compared to just {{piett_red_30_conversion}}% for {{deck:Piett Red 30}}. Early adopters who stuck with Kylo from the previous era are cashing in while the field experiments.

The Piett Tax Is Real

{{deck:Piett Red 30}} represents {{piett_red_30_share}}% of the meta — more than double any other archetype — but delivers a brutal {{piett_red_30_winrate}}% win rate across {{piett_red_30_matches}} matches. That's sub-48% performance from the format's most-played deck. Players are paying the Piett tax: bringing a comfortable, familiar list that simply doesn't win enough games.

The numbers get worse in elimination rounds. Piett's {{piett_red_30_conversion}}% conversion rate trails the field average, and those who do make top 8 are winning just {{piett_red_30_t8w_apr}}% of the time when expected to win {{piett_red_30_t8w_apr}}%. The deck isn't just underperforming — it's actively costing players tournament equity.

Power Rankings

{{deck:Kylo (LOF) DV}} takes the top spot with {{kylo_lof_dv_wins}}W-{{kylo_lof_dv_draws}}D-{{kylo_lof_dv_losses}}L and a {{kylo_lof_dv_conversion}}% conversion rate. {{deck:Palpatine (SEC) DV}} sits at rank {{palpatine_sec_dv_rank}} despite a {{palpatine_sec_dv_winrate}}% win rate, carried by strong elimination performance. {{deck:Piett Red 30}} falls to {{piett_red_30_rank}}th — a meta share leader failing to convert popularity into wins.
