OP17 Yellow (Linlin) Deck Profile

 

Big Mom got a rebooted as well, but unlike Whitebeard, we don't have supports from previous sets as most of the Big Mom Pirates cards are out of rotation. So you will have to be creative and use what is available. You could even use OP12 Thriller Bark Pirates since Big Mom can discard cards, so you could discard those cards to the trash and ready to play those cards with trigger effects.



OP17 Big Mom





How it Works?

I took a different route than using OP12 TB Pirates engine because of the lack of draw power, so I definitely needed Flampe in the build to increase hand size. Funny enough, Life gain won't be a problem with this deck, so you don't need EB04 Kizaru but can add it to the deck if you've got the card. I am running Blackbeard as the other Life gain card as well as we need another beat stick on the field in case Big Mom gets removed.


Life Gain



Plenty of Life gain cards and if your opponent decided to choose the Life gain option for your Leader, so you can discard 2 cards in total, it will still take them a while to break through your Life area. OP17 Cracker may looks like it cost 3 to play, but with the effect, you will need 5 DONs in total. The effect works on play and on your turn, you may rest 2 DONs, if your Leader is BM Pirates type, add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area. The trigger effect is play this card.

OP17 Smoothie is another card like Cracker, where the card looks like it cost 5, but you will need 7 if you want to use the effect. The effect works on play and on your turn, you may rest 2 DONs to add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area. Then, your opponent trashes 1 card from their hand. Of course, if they have already discarded thanks to our Leader's effect, they will be discarding 2 cards for that turn. The trigger effect is play this card.

On the other hand, OP17 Katakuri will cost 6 to play, so you want to play this card first before Smoothie. The effect works on play and on your turn, if your Leader is BM Pirates type, add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area. Then, 1 of your opponent's Characters loses 3k power for the turn. This will be useful as the deck only consists of 4k beat stick which won't put much of a threat against your opponents especially when we want to remove your opponent's Characters. The trigger effect is play this card.

Sweet 3 Generals is like Cracker and Smoothie where the card looks like it cost 6 to play, but you will need 8 DONs in total if you want to use the effect. The effect works on play and on your turn, you may rest 2 DONs to draw a card and add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area. Then, up to 2 of your opponent's Characters loses 3k power for the turn. The extra draw power is definitely useful from the discarding from our Leader's effect. The trigger effect is play this card.

OP16 Blackbeard is very handy in this build considering we need another beat stick than Big Mom, and we can set up trigger effects with this card. 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. This is also useful as we need some removals in this build since we don't have beat sticks that could take out your opponent's Characters.

OP17 Big Mom is the key card we want to have on the field to make the entire deck work. To be honest, I am not a big fan in relying on 1 card to make the deck work. Big Mom has 2 effects, the first effect works on your turn, the base power of all your Trigger Characters with 4k base power becomes 8k. 8k power is definitely useful as we could take out some of your opponent's Characters. The second effect works on play, draw 1 card and choose one of the following, add the top card of your deck to top of your Life area, or your opponents add the top card of their Life area to the owner's hand. Both options are good, but it will depends on your opponent's Life area as we already have Life gain, so we want to reduce your opponent's Life area as much as possible.

Draw


Personally, I don't think OP17 Pudding will be enough for draw power if you are constantly using your Leader's effect, which is why I've added EB01 Flampe. Flampe also have 2k counter which is definitely useful if you don't want to use the effect. The effect works on play, add the top or bottom card from your Life area to your hand to draw 1 card. Technically, you will be adding 2 cards, and if you could pull off the Life gain, we could constantly use Flampe's effect.

OP17 Pudding only works if you have Trigger cards in your hand which is not difficult for this deck. The effect works on play, you may trash 1 Trigger card to draw 3 cards. 3 cards is a lot, but since only Pudding can let you draw 3, that won't be enough if you want to use your Leader's effect. The trigger effect is look at top 5 cards of your deck, reveal 1 BM Pirates card and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. The search effect is definitely useful as you will need specific card to make the deck pop off.

Free Play


The 2 cards that can play Characters for free, and 1 of them will definitely help to pull off some Life gain effects. OP17 Oven only works on KO, play one 4k power or less Character from your trash except Oven. This won't be hard if you have Big Mom in play as your opponent wants to try and reduce your attacking options, or else, we will have an 8k beat stick to swing with. The trigger effect is play this card.

OP17 Perospero helps you play Smoothie and 3 Generals so you could pay those card's cost, considering they will cost the same or more as Perospero if you use their effect. The effect works on play and on your turn, play one 6 cost or less BM Pirates Character from your hand. Then, this Character gains Rush. The Rush will be useful if Big Mom is on the field, so we could swing with Perospero with 8k beat stick instead of 4. The trigger effect is play this card.

Big Mom Pirates Supports


The rest of the BM Pirates supports are simple, and OP17 Struesen is the main searcher for the deck. Although, this is not enough as how the deck rely on 1 card to pop off. The effect works on play, look at top 3 cards of your deck, reveal 1 BM Pirates card and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order.

OP11 Zeus is a removal which is definitely needed as we lack the power to take out your opponent's Characters until we can get Big Mom to the field. The effect works on play, you may add the top or bottom card from your Life area to your hand to KO 1 of your opponent's 5 cost or less Characters. I wouldn't worry about the Life area as we have plenty of Life gain to get the Life back, so you can constantly play Zeus.

Maser Saber only has a counter effect which is 1 of your Big Mom gains 3k power for the battle. Although, the counter effect is not the only thing I am aiming for because we also have a trigger effect. The trigger effect is your opponent may trash 3 cards from their hand. If they do not, KO 1 of your opponent's 6 cost or less Characters. The trigger effect can acts as an extra removal if we can see this card at the right time reducing your opponent's field.
