OP11 Red/Black (Garp) Deck Profile

What I like about Garp is that the effect is not once per turn and we've got plenty of ways to attached DONs onto our cards to trigger Garp's effect. Although, EB02 did have a support for Garp, but what I was waiting for is the OP11 Navy support to add for this deck. Which is also why I held back posting this build, but you do not have to use OP11 support since Garp can work with other cards as long as we can trigger his effect.

OP11 Purple/Yellow (Pudding) Deck Profile

The new Big Mom supports from OP11 set could also work with Pudding build as Pudding can use both purple and yellow Big Mom supports. Of course, we won't be returning as much DONs in this build as we will just focused on ramping to play our big drops as soon as possible.

ST28 Green/Yellow (Yamato) Deck Profile

Just like Nika Luffy build, you will only need the starter deck to upgrade this deck, but unlike Nika Luffy, we are running a splash of green in the build rather than focusing on one colour for a multicoloured Leader. Yamato is still one of my favourite decks I like to play, especially combined with the new starter deck supports, this deck has become really aggressive.

GCG Link Station EP 3

 

Nothing much in today episode. It is mainly just starter deck unboxing with 2 cards revealed from GD01 set. But at least it gives us a list of what is inside the starter decks, and I'm not even sure if I like the numbers. There are some 3 copies in the starter decks, and even if you buy 2 copies of the starter decks, you might end up with 6 copies of certain cards.

OP11 Blue/Yellow (Queen) Deck Profile

It's been a while for Queen build last update, so I decided to give this build an update. There are some new cards from OP11 set that could help this build, but it is up to you if you want to run those cards in build or not. There are plenty of options as long as your main role is triggering Queen's effect so we could constantly have Life Gain or draw.

OP11 Black (Smoker) Deck Profile

I do like the new Navy supports for this build, but the only problem is cramping everything into one deck without sacrificing too much. Well, at least we don't need to worry too much about the lack of Navy supports in this build as we have plenty of choices to choose from to replace the banned cards using the OP11 set. I would be mainly copying and pasting the content I had wrote from previous post.

OP11 Yellow (Enel) Deck Profile

I think, no matter which sets we are on, Enel will always get an upgrade. Maybe not in OP12 set, but who knows. Upgrading this deck is very straightforward from EB02 set as there's not much change. I only swapped out 1 card for a card from OP11 set, as EB02 stuff really changed this deck since the main cards got banned, slowing Enel down.

OP11 Red/Green (Smoker) Deck Profile

To be honest, you could also use the Straw Hat engine for this build as there are some new green Straw Hat cards from EB02 that could work for this deck. But of course, we won't be able to get the power up bonus as most of them aren't Punk Hazard. So ideally, waiting for the new Navy supports from OP11 would be able to make the full use of the Leader.

ST26 Purple/Black (Luffy) Deck Profile

The funny part of this deck is that this is technically mono purple deck, but we start with 4 Life cards instead of 5. Honestly, there haven't been any good black cards we could use for this deck. Plus it didn't help that the new starter deck only had purple cards even though we had a multicolour Leader as reprint. There are no new cards from OP11 set that could work with this build which is why I have named this ST26.

OP11 Green/Yellow (Arlong) Deck Profile

I held of posting an EB02 version of Arlong because of OP11 wasn't far away, so there was really no point posting 2 version of the deck in a short time frame. Instead, I just focused on the OP11 build where we have more Fishman supports that could work for this build. EB02 did make this deck a lot better with the new cards.

OP11 Blue (Buggy) Deck Profile

At long last, we finally got Mihawk promo for Buggy build which is why the title is name OP11 instead of ST25 as Mihawk is release in OP11 promo pack. Both of them will make a huge difference for this build, but what I am also waiting for is OP12 set to replace some cards in this deck. This deck still got plenty of room we can swap out and replace, as even the ST25 stuff isn't really the stuff we need.

OP11 Black (Teach) Deck Profile

As you know Blackbeard got a starter deck support, but there's really not much you can change with the build using the starter deck. So instead, I've also focus on OP11 support for the build. There's actually not many we can change considering the black support in OP11 are mainly Navy cards, and the previous BB cards are still the main cards for the build.

OP11 Red/Black (Koby) Deck Profile

For me, SWORD and Dressrosa are similar decks where we can attack your opponent's Characters, giving them like pseudo Rush. What's more thanks to Koby's effect, we can protect our 7k beat stick and below from effects. Although, the downside is that if you are a big fan of SWORD Characters, then, this deck might not be for you since we don't have much SWORD Characters available.

OP11 Purple (Katakuri) Deck Profile

I like how purple Katakuri and yellow Katakuri are similar where we can check your opponent's cards. The only downside is that we don't do anything with your opponent's top card, so they will draw that card even if you don't want to see that card. Personally, not doing anything with the top card keeps the deck balance, as you really don't want to do too much with the effect.

Bandai Presentation 6/12/2025

 

There's a lot of stuff revealed in this video, but the one thing we can ignore is Battle Spirits. As for some reason we've got Saga instead of the original Battle Spirits game. If you ask me, I would prefer the original over Saga, it just feels the game play is just better. But this is my personal opinion.

OP11 Green/Yellow (Shirahoshi) Deck Profile

I have no idea why all 3 of the princesses cannot attack in this game, it is a theme with these 3 Leaders. Although Vegapunk is not a princess, he is just a scientist without any fighting capabilities. I guess this is the same with Shirahoshi. I am actually disappointed with the official names of the Sea Kings, never mind the Sea King trait. The JP version gave the Sea Kings a proper name, but the EN version felt lazy with the names. 

GCG Tutorial App Release Date

 

Originally, the tutorial app for Gundam was meant to release at the end of May I think, now the app releases on June 12. Personally that wasn't a long delay compare to some Bandai sets they have delayed previously, so it is quick for me. I can't wait to try this tutorial to fully understand the game. I am not going to get the physical cards, I rather just collect the models instead.

OP11 Green (Jinbe) Deck Profile

Personally, Fishman have some powerful cards we can use, but it is all about putting the deck together, and Jinbe is a bit more disappointing as we need to maintain 6 or less cards to make the effect work. I'll see what I can do for this build to make Jinbe effective, otherwise I would prefer to play Arlong build where we can spam Characters to make our attacks more aggressive.

OP11 Blue/Yellow (Nami) Deck Profile

OP11 Nami is interesting, the Leader feels like another defensive deck just like OP11 Luffy, but luckily we get to start with 4 Life cards instead of 3. Although, what I did find is that Nami's power up is for that 1 turn, making this very useful and we can use the effect as soon as possible, so we are safe from your opponent's attacks.

OP11 Blue/Purple (Luffy) Deck Profile

I like how OP11 Luffy Leader reminds me of ST10 Luffy Leader who also starts with 6k base power with 3 Life cards. If you have played ST10 Luffy Leader before, then building this deck will be very similar as we will be stalling until we can get 8 DONs and get the Leader popping off. But of course, we will also be splashing some blue cards instead of red for the deck.

MDPro3 Simulator

 

As you know, I like simulators as they help me access the cards I don't have or preparing for the future builds if I'm planning to build the deck in real life, but it also depends if they have put the effort in making the simulator or not. I've came across using MDPro3 for a while now, it is just a Master Duel, but with more access to the formats and don't need to grind cards. 

EB02 Red/Blue (Marco) Deck Profile

At first, I was a bit hesitant in posting a Marco build because of ST22 release. However, ST22 doesn't come out until September, so I can post the build now and update this build when the time comes. Marco got 1 new support from EB02 set, and I think we could make use of that card for this build.
