EB03 Green/Purple (Lim) Deck Profile

There's a new Odyssey support for Lim in EB03 set which can help the deck a little. Although, I guess the main weakness is that we play our Characters at rest, so your opponents can attack into those Characters if we don't have cards to stop your opponents. There's also rotation involve, so Block 1 cards are rotated out for this build.

One Piece Card Game Emergency Ban List (effective from April 10, 2026)

 

I feel this ban list is unfair for global players because we never got a chance to try the cards compare to the JP format. The simultaneous release is taking time to take effect, but looks like they've only focused on what is happening for the JP format rather than on a global scale. Well, I think this also happened to Digimon once where the cards didn't get release for global, but already got hit because of the JP format.

EB03 Blue (Hancock) Deck Profile

As you know, OP07 Jinbe is back, so we can use the Warlord engine for Hancock to try and use as much cards from hand as possible. Although, we still don't have proper Amazon Lily or Kuja Pirates for OP07 Hancock, so that kind of option is out of the window. Luckily, I guess we have Rain as part of the rotation exception list which does help the build a little.

EB03 Red/Black (Sabo) Deck Profile

OP13 Sabo is the main focused for this post. OP05 Sabo is not out of rotation, and if I've got time, I could post the build later. It is just when it comes to R/B Sabo, people think of OP13 version and not OP05. Anyway, this deck definitely changed a bit thanks to EB03 Koala, we can easily set up getting 8 drop Characters to the field without actually playing an actual 8 drop Character.

EB03 Purple/Yellow (Pudding) Deck Profile

Pudding is one of the decks that got hit the hardest when it comes to rotation. Most of the key cards from this build are from Block 1, and losing those cards changes the build entirely. I don't think there was any BM Pirates card that made it to the exception list. I'll see what I can do with the current card pools we've got, the worst part is that I could slap the TB Pirates engine for Pudding and call it a build.

GCG Link Station Ep 37 - Phantom Aria[GD04] Featured Card Reveal !

 

A Link Station video all about card reveals is what I mainly like, so I could have a longer post than short post. Plus, they don't really do EN sub for the fights which just make the game suspicious, but they willing to sub the other part of the videos. This is what make it strange, especially for an official channel to do this and not just a fan who made these videos.

GCG Ban List (effective from April 1, 2026)

I don't know about you, but this has to be 1 of the worst ban list especially how GCG is designed. I literally thought they would hit U/P Barbatos, but looks like the deck is still playable, and we will still have problems facing against Barbatos builds. It feels like they didn't put any effort to stopping certain decks from dominating. Then again, it's also Bandai fault for doing Bo1 matches where you know you only have 1 chance to stop that deck, and no second chances.
