ST20 Yellow (Katakuri) Deck Profile

There's not a huge upgrade with this build as there's not much you want from the Katakuri's Starter Deck. Literally, the current build is very good at it is so updating it will be a bit difficult unless the card is really good and worth the copy to add it to the build. Katakuri has always been a strong deck since OP03 set, so for people who's already made this deck, it is just simply upgrading this bit by bit when a new set comes out, but of course, they have to work for this build.

ST15 Red (Newgate) Deck Profile

Whitebeard is back with some major improvements, not only that this Leader is 6k base power, but we have cards that can prevent us from losing a Life once per turn. I do like this build as it gives us the feeling of YOLO, and your opponents will need DONs to hit your Leader if they are only 5k beat stick, so they wouldn't be able to have enough DONs to play their other cards unless they are playing like a ramp deck when DONs wouldn't matter too much for them. Of course, they could wait for you to take a Life once per turn.

ST18 Purple (Luffy) Deck

To be honest, I was thinking about doing 2 different builds for this Leader, however, I personally can't get the Straw Hat engine in the starter deck to work. The current version of Purple Luffy build is very decent, all I did was to change some cards using small amount from ST18, as I really want to keep the main current build since it has everything. I guess the Straw Hat engine does gives you the draw power and hand size, but you will be using a lot of spaces to fit those cards.

Will One Piece ever get Simultaneous Release?

Seeing how both Gundam and Digimon are going for simultaneous release, will One Piece ever get one? We are 2-3 sets behind, so it is not difficult to catch up unlike Digimon who is trying to cramp every sets this year to catch up with the JPN format. This is also why I'm waiting for Digimon to catch up just to play the game again, currently, I don't even want to play the game.

ST16 Green (Uta) Deck Profile

Uta is the only Leader where we get 2 version of the Starter deck, since the rest of the Leaders from the latest starter deck are booster set cards. FILM deck was pretty good, but unfortunately like some Digimon decks for other Bandai games, they lack support, and that lack of supports is what makes it difficult to improve. We have some very good green cards released for the colour, but combining with FILM stuff is a bit difficult to do. On the bright side, some of the music promos have been reprinted in the starter deck, but not like we would need them since the deck doesn't base on music, but instead on FILM instead.

ST17 Blue (Doflamingo) Deck Profile

The new Warlord supports made Doffy so much better to use, and I like it a lot compare to the previous versions. Although I think there's only 1 card who would be suited to Hancock deck whilst the rest is more focus on Doffy. The problem previously was using Doffy's Leader effect who cost you 3 DONs altogether. The new cards from the starter deck solve this problem easily, so we could be able to spam Warlords with ease.

ST19 Black (Smoker) Deck Profile

To be honest, this is just OP02 Smoker, but in a ST19 deck. The rest of the build is just standard Navy stuff you can get in the booster set. Well, most of the cards since there are a few cards from ST19 only, and for people who already got most of the cards in the starter deck, they can just buy singles. Unfortunately, there's some key cards we need for this build, but some of them are coming in the reprint set luckily which is great for new players to play this build.
