Not much of an update for Imu build as we need most of the cards from OP13, but we do have 1 card in OP14 we can add to this build. In fact the build will be relatively the same that I will be mainly copying and pasting from the stuff I've posted from the previous build. So you can only just look at the deck list and don't bother about reading the stuff I've posted unless you never saw my previous build.

How it Works?
The key part to this build is to build up the trash, you will need at least 10 cards in trash to make the deck work as that is the number to trigger a lot of card's effects in this build. You do start of slow as we need to build DONs to get Empty Throne working to start playing 5 Elders for 3 DONs, so you might want to use some counters from your hand to help you build the trash early if you can't get the mill going.
Five Elders
Of course to make this deck work, we will need to rely on the 5 Elders, but you will need to get at least 7 cards in trash to make some of these cards effective. Saturn is mainly just a searcher, but if you have 7 or more cards in trash, then this Character cannot be removed by your opponent's effects. The effect works on play, look at top 5 cards of your deck, reveal 1 Five Elders card and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. This shouldn't be too difficult to pull off as we are running the maximum copies in this build.
Warcury only has a simple effect, but this is the 1 card where we actually need 7 cards in trash to make the effect better, unlike Saturn where we mainly using that card for the search. Warcury works on KO, draw 1 card, but if you have 7 or more cards in trash, then this Character cannot be removed by your opponent's effects and gains Blocker, triggering the on KO effect easily. Of course, you can use this as an attack, and hopefully your opponent could KO this card to draw.
Nusjuro would work the best if you have 7 or more cards in your trash, then this Character cannot be removed by your opponent's effects and gains Rush. Rush will be very strong as it will allow us to attack as soon as he hit the field. The effect works when attacking, if you've got 10 or more cards in your trash, 1 of your opponent's Characters loses 2k power for the turn. This would means, we can make your opponent's Characters more easier to hit considering that we don't have a major beat stick aside from our 10 drop.
Mars pretty much have the same effect as Warcury, but costing 6 instead of 4. If you have 7 or more cards in trash, then this Character cannot be removed by your opponent's effects and gains Blocker. The effect works on play, you may trash 1 card from your hand to KO 1 of your opponent's base cost of 5 or less. A nice removal effect to try and reduce your opponent's board.
Peter have the same effect as Saturn for the trash requirements, if you have 7 or more cards in trash, then this Character cannot be removed by your opponent's effects. The main effect would power up your Five Elders to make those cards hit more easily. The effect is if you have 10 or more cards in trash, set all of 5 Elders base power to 7k. Unfortunately, this would affect our 10 drop, so we really don't want to play our 10 drop if Peter is on the field, as our 12k beat stick would become 7k.
5 Elders as the name said is the card that can bring back all 5 Elders from your trash. Of course, you want to use this effect after you attacked as the 5 Elders except Nusjuro would have summon sickness. The effect is an activate main effect, if your Leader is Imu, you may rest 1 DON and trash 1 card from your hand to trash all of your Characters, then play up to 5 Five Elders with 5k power and different names from your trash. What I do like about this card is that we can play this for 3 instead of paying the full DONs thanks to 1 of our Stage card.
Holy Land
The 2 stages that I am running for this build. Mary Geoise is actually a back up in case your opponent can remove Empty Throne, plus we can play this Stage from our trash thanks to 1 of our Characters. The effect is the cost of your Celestial Dragons with 2 or more cost is reduced by 1. Not as good as Empty Throne, but this card can target all Celestial Dragons rather than just 5 Elders.
The Empty Throne is the main stage card who we play out for free using Imu's effect. There are 2 effects, the first effect is if you have 19 or more cards in your trash, your Leader gains 1k power, making Imu a 6k beat stick, and this is important against the new Leaders, so we don't have to rely on DONs. However, what I am mainly using this card for is the second effect which is an activate main. You may rest this card and 3 DONs, play 1 black 5 Elders Character with cost equal to or less than the number of DONs on your field from your hand. So the more DONs we got, the better for the deck, especially for our 10 drop 5 Elders.
The Supports
To make way for Ground Death, I've reduced the Characters numbers in this build, but I've still kept these 3 cards as they are the main cards for the build. Shalria is a searcher and the effect works on play, look at top 3 cards of your deck, add 1 CD card except Shalria and add it to your hand. Then, trash the rest and 1 card from your hand. Shalria can easily build up the trash, but unfortunately, we do need to trash a card, so we won't be gaining any hand size with the search effect.
OP05 Shirahoshi helps to prevent us from decking out as there are a few mill cards in this build, as well as Imu discard and draw effect. So the longer the game, the more easily you could deck out with without Shirahoshi. Plus, she works the best against OP13 Ace. The effect is an activate main, you may rest this Character and place 2 cards from the bottom of your deck in any order, if your opponent has 6 or more cards in their hand, your opponent discards a card.
OP13 Mjosgard only works if we have low Life cards, but I am mainly using this card for the 2k counter rather than the effect. The effect works on play, if you have 3 or less Life cards, play one 1 cost Mary Geoise Stage card from your trash. This is the only reason why I am running a 1 drop Stage as it could come in handy if our opponents removed our main Stage card.
Events
The Events have changed drastically compare to the previous build, but I am keeping 2 of the CD Events as they are must need. At your Service is a searcher, the effect is look at the top 3 cards of your deck, reveal 1 CD card except At your Service and add it to your hand. Then, trash the rest. This is just like Shalria but without the need to trash a card from your hand. Both of these searchers can easily build up your trash. The trigger effect is activate this card's main.
Never Existed is mainly for the counter effect as it would be very difficult to use the main effect unless you are playing against Imu decks. The main effect is, if your Leader is Imu, you may rest 1 of your DONs to KO 1 of your opponent's 7 cost Stage card. This is also why this deck runs a back up Stage card in case our main Stage card gets removed. The counter effect is if your Leader is Imu, your Leader or 1 of your Characters gains 4k power for the battle.
Ground Death is a great addition to Imu because we can use both main or the counter effect and not just one or the other. The main effect works by resting 2 DONs, negate the effect of 1 of your opponent's 5 cost or less Characters. Unfortunately, we can only target 5 cost or less, but that will be enough as we can get around protection effects and shutting on KO effects. The counter effect is if you have 10 or more cards in your trash, your Leader or 1 of your Characters gains 4k power for the battle. This is not difficult to pull off as we have ways to build up the trash.
I'm losing my Edge is another Event where we need at least 10 cards in trash to use the full effect. Otherwise, you will only be using this card for the power up bonus and the power up bonus is not worth it without 10 cards in trash. The counter effect is your Leader or 1 of your Characters gains 1k for the battle. Then, if you have 10 or more cards in trash, add one 3 cost or less black Character from your trash to your hand. We could bring back the 2k counters or use the searcher if you need more search.
