Japan-only metagame: Bandai’s published usage distribution for the combined Newtype Challenge 2026 and WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 26-27 store-qualifier field at Japanese stores, transcribed from the official weekly chart. Decks are bucketed by color identity, not named archetype. Share is the percentage of decks playing each color pair, not a win rate. Weeks and changes cover Newtype Challenge 2026 Mission 3 only; earlier challenges are separate series, on their own tab. Change compares against the week ending 2026-06-21. The source publishes no sample size. Data: @GUNDAM_GCG_JP.

Players is each color pair’s share of decks entered this month. Wins is its share of events won. Gap is wins minus players in percentage points: a positive gap means the pair takes events more often than its popularity alone would suggest. Pairs marked “in Other” won events but are too rare for Bandai to list their share separately. Data is read weekly from Bandai’s official tournament site for Japanese store events.

Counts the 51 archetype-tagged decks attached to top placements at 13 completed events covered on ShufflePhase since 2026-07-24. These results are entered by hand, usually only an event’s top finishers, so this shows which archetypes finish at the top of covered events, not the field at large.
