Personally, there's not too much of an update for BB Pirates deck, as we have most of the cards from OP09 set for this build. I will be just copying paste some information from my previous post. But I do think OP10 BB build is so much better than OP09 build just because we've added some new cards to the build. You can actually build this without Finger Pistol, but OP10 Kuzan won't be cheap and the build will be just over $30 to build.

How it Works?
The deck is still the same as last time where we negate your opponent's effects and KO your opponent's Characters. The only difference this time is that OP10 Kuzan plays a huge role in this build, bring back certain cards from the trash so we can use the effects again. We still focused on mill though since we want our beat stick Burgess to hit as much power as possible.
The timing of your Leader is important, because if you constantly use BB's Leader effect, you will run out of cards in your hand sooner or later even if you have draw power and searchers. You also definitely don't want to use the Leader's effect too early, using the effect on 1 drop searchers are pointless, and you will be wasting cards instead which will hurt during mid to late game. That's why if you can predict if your opponents would be doing big plays, then using BB's Leader effect at that time will hurt their next move.
Cost Reducers
Compare to the previous build, I am only running 2 cost reducers this time. It doesn't seem a lot, but OP10 Kuzan will be able to revive these cards from your trash so we can use their effects again. Both of them has activate main effect to get around Blackbeard's restrictions. Stronger works by trashing 1 card in your hand and trashing this Character, if your Leader is BB Pirates, draw 1 card. Then, reduce 1 of your opponent's Characters cost by 2 this turn.
Van Augur on the other hand can be our constant cost reducer as long as he stays on the field unlike Stronger. Augur has 2 effects, the first effect is you may rest this Character, if your Leader is BB Pirates type, reduce 1 of your opponent's Characters cost by 3. 3 would be enough since our removals doesn't target really low costs like other builds. The second effect works on KO, draw a card, giving us the draw power to use BB's Leader effect.
Removals
The one thing that changed compare to the previous build is the increase amount of removals we can access to remove your opponent's Characters, so we don't have to spend as much counters from the hand. Doc Q has 2 effects, the first works by resting this Character, if your Leader is BB Pirates, KO 1 of your opponent's 1 cost or less Characters. This might be a problem with the lack of cost reducers in the build. The second effect works on KO, you draw a card which is the exact same effect as Van Augur.
OP10 Shiryu is the latest addition to the build, and more importantly, you can actually spam Shiryu's effect using OP10 Kuzan's effect. Shiryu also has 2 effects, the first effect works during your opponent's turn. This Character gains 2k power, making Shiryu a 7k beat stick, forcing your opponents to use more power if they want to clear your board. The second effect is if your Leader is BB Pirates, and this Character was played on this turn, KO 1 of your opponent's base cost of 3 or less Characters. Unfortunately, this effect won't work with cost reducers as we are targeting base costs only.
Finger Pistol is one of the main card we need in this build, mainly because we can also mill cards from the deck to power up Burgess. You can run the build without Finger Pistol, but it won't be as effective. The effect is you may trash 2 cards from the top of your deck to KO 1 of your opponent's 5 cost or less Characters. 5 or less is plenty, especially with your cost reducers reducing certain high cost Characters down. The trigger effect is activate this card's main effect.
Lastly, we've got Liberation and Liberation only works if your opponent has more Characters than you. The effect is if your opponent has at least 2 more Characters than you. KO 1 of your opponent's base cost of 6 and base cost of 4 Characters. Just like OP10 Shiryu, we can only target base cost, but Liberation does target higher costs unlike Shiryu. The trigger effect is negate 1 of each of your opponent's Leader and Characters this turn. This effect is pretty good as we can negate both Leader and Character rather than one or another.
Searchers
The searchers is all about playing with the numbers, you could even run 2 Laffitte and max 4 of My Era and Fullalead if you want. Well the numbers will be up to you as these varies as long as we can search cards from the deck. Laffite works by paying 1 DON and resting this Character to look at top 5 cards of your deck, reveal 1 BB Pirates card and add it to your hand. Place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. This is just the typical searcher we've seen so far.
My Era Begins is different from Laffite instead of looking at top 5 cards, we can only look at top 3. Look at top 3 cards of your deck, reveal 1 BB Pirates card other than My Era Begins and add it to your hand. Place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. The trigger effect is activate this card's main effect.
Fullalead is a nice hand filter card, we don't gain card with this Stage, but we also don't lose cards. The effect is you may trash 1 card from your hand and rest this stage, look at top 3 cards of your deck, reveal 1 BB Pirates card and add it to your hand. Place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. We look at the same amount of card just like My Era Begins, but as this is a Stage card, we can use this effect once per turn.
Negating Effects
Another thing that I haven't change is keeping these cards who can nullify the effects of your opponent's cards. 10 drop BB is a Blocker with an effect that works once per turn. If your Leader is BB Pirates type and this Character was played on this turn, negate the effect of 1 of your opponent's Leader during this turn. Then, negate the effect of 1 of your opponent's Characters and that Character cannot attack until the end of their turn. This pretty much slows your opponents down and being a 12k Blocker, we could potentially stop 2 attacks in one turn.
Black Hole doesn't only negate your opponent's effects, but can also KO your opponent's Characters acting as an extra removal for the build. The effect is if your Leader is BB Pirates, negate the effect of 1 of your opponent's Characters during this turn. Then, if that Character's cost is 4 or less, KO it. You will need to rely on cost reducers if you want to KO certain cards. The trigger effect is negate the effect of 1 of your opponent's Leader or Character cards this turn.
Blackbeard Pirates Supports
The new addition is OP10 Kuzan as I've kept the rest in the build, just reduced their numbers compare to last time. Vasco is just a Blocker, can't expand on this whilst OP09 Shiryu is a hand filter. You need to attach a DON to Shiryu for the effect to work. When attacking, you may trash 2 cards from your hand to draw 2 cards. Although, I barely use OP09 Shiryu's effect unless you want to build up the trash even more.
Burgess is still one of our main beat stick in the build. The more cards you can get in the trash, the better for Burgess's effect. The effect is this Character can't be KO'd by your opponent's effects. If your Leader is BB Pirates type, this Character gains 1k for every 4 cards in your trash. If you can get at least 16, that's 9k beat stick for Burgess which is not bad for a 4 drop Character. This is also a continuous effect, so if your opponents want to attack Burgess, they will need a lot of power, or we can protect him with some counter cards.
OP10 Kuzan makes a huge difference in this build, especially when we have trashing and mill, so we could end up getting rid of the cards we want to use. Kuzan has 2 effects, the first effect is a continuous effect where this Character cannot be removed by your opponent's effects. The second effect is an activate main, you may trash this Character to draw 1 card. Then, play one 5 cost or less BB Pirates Character other than Kuzan from your trash. What we can do is attack with Kuzan first, then use his effect to bring back another Character, unless you desperately need that Character on the field as soon as possible.
