OP17 Black/Yellow (Moria) Deck Profile

Only a 1 card upgrade for Moria build as we need the Thriller Bark Pirates engine to use our Leader's effect. So I will cramp as much as possible for this deck without losing the main engine. It's an idea I've taken from Hancock, considering both decks are using Trigger cards.



OP17 Moria





How it Works?

I've tried to cramp as much as possible for this deck as I've added Pudding which can make use of trashing TB Pirates cards and we could use TB Pirate's Triggers effect to play them from the trash, so you don't need to use Moria's Leader effect to get them into the trash. You also have Zoro who can also discard cards.


Life Gain


As this is mainly a Trigger deck, the more Life gain you could cramp, the higher the chances of triggering trigger effects as well as you won't need to rely on your Leader's effect for the Life gain. OP15 Zoro can be very useful as you can discard TB Pirates cards. The effect works on play, you may trash 1 card to add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area.

EB04 Kizaru will be important as we only start with 4 Life cards and I'm not running a lot of Zoro in the build, so we can easily trigger Kizaru's effect. The effect works on play, if you have 2 or less Life cards, add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area.

Unfortunately, I don't have the room to fit many copies of OP16 Blackbeard in the build, as I need the room for other cards. The effect works on play, look at top 3 cards of your deck, add 1 card to top of your Life area. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. The trigger effect is negate the effect of 1 of your opponent's Characters this turn. Then, KO 1 of your opponent's 5 cost or less Characters.

I've decided to add OP14 Hancock as the effect could be very effective against your opponents considering we need set up to work. The effect works on play, if your Leader is 7 Warlord, add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area. Then, your opponent add the top card from their Life area to their hand. The trigger effect is play one 6k or less Character and has Trigger from your hand. The trigger effect is the main effect I am aiming for, so we can play more Characters to the field, especially if we want to make the full use of the Leader's effect.

Searchers


Not much for searchers due to the lack of room, and if I want to run more, sacrifices will need to be made. OP13 Lilith will be able to search for most cards in the deck. The effect works on play, look at top 4 cards of your deck, reveal 1 Trigger card except Lilith and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. Not difficult to trigger unless you get unlucky with the search. The trigger effect is activate this card's on play effect.

OP14 Absalom is a different type of searcher as this card works on KO, so you will need to rely on your Leader's effect to work. The effect is look at top 3 cards of your deck, reveal 1 TB Pirates card and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. The trigger effect is play one 4 cost or less TB Pirates Character from your trash rested.

Free Play


The cards that could play Characters for free, so you can easily use your Leader's effect. OP16 Hogback is a card that works on KO, play one 4 cost or less and a Trigger Character except Dr Hogback from your trash. There are plenty of choices to choose from with this effect. The trigger effect is play one 4 cost or less TB Pirates Character from your trash rested.

PRB02 Moria can let us play any 4 cost or less Characters unlike Dr Hogback, and this is useful as we can spam OP15 Zoro from the trash so we can constantly have Life gain ability. The effect works on play, if your Leader is TB Pirates, play one 4 cost or less Character from your trash rested. Then, attach 1 rested DON to your Leader or 1 of your Characters.

OP14 Moria can work as both Life gain and free play effect depending on the field and what you would need at that time. The effect works on play, select one 4 cost or less TB Pirates Character from your trash and play it or add it to top of your Life area face up. The trigger effect is play one 4 cost or less Character from your trash. Just like PRB02 version, you can play Zoro from the trash for the extra Life gain.

Trigger Characters


As the title suggests, these are the cards where you want to aim for the trigger effect as they all have the exact same trigger effect which is play one 4 cost or less TB Pirates Character from your trash rested. OP14 Kumacy is a 2k counter and Cindry is a Blocker. You will only need to play Cindry if you need Blockers to stop your opponent's attacks.

OP14 Perona is another card that can be hard play to the field if you need the effect. The effect works on play or on KO, 1 of your opponent's 6 cost or less Characters cannot attack until the end of your opponent's turn. This is very useful if you can get Perona at the right time, so we could stop 1 of your opponent's Characters from hitting.

The Supports


The rest of the supports are simple. OP06 Cindry is the 1 card we want on turn 1 so we could set up the trash. The effect works on play, if your Leader is TB Pirates type, mill the top 5 cards of your deck. You will only need to use Cindry once if you don't have the cards you want in the trash, and the 2k counter will be useful.'

OP17 Pudding is the only reason why I've changed the deck than normal, so we could use Pudding's effect. The effect works on play, you may trash 1 Trigger card to draw 3 cards. Drawing 3 really helps, as this can increase your hand size so you can use your Leader's effect. Not only that, our Leader's effect can make Pudding a 5k beat stick, so you don't need to worry about the 4k base power. The trigger effect will be useless in this build.

I am running OP14 Rayleigh, so we can have a bit of removal in the deck and not just all about Life gain. The effect works on play, if your Leader is multicoloured and your opponent has 3 or less Life cards, KO 1 of your opponent's 7k base power or less Characters. 7k power or less is a big target to choose from. The trigger effect is activate this card's on play effect.
