Even though yellow is a relatively new toy for allOne PieceCard Game players, there are many new decks found within the set across all the colours. Aggro players received Ace and his fiery attacks, the Nami leader introduces a new win condition by milling your entire deck, and Iceburg can play Galley-La Company characters for cheap.
10Marco
Before Pillars of Strength, Whitebeard was a deck in the meta too long. Bandai even decided to ban the Moby Dick Stage card because of how powerful it made the deck. Sadly, the deck continues to receive support, and in OP3 it comes in the shape of Marco.
There was already a Marco card released in OP2, which was a solid blocker that could come back into the play area reminiscent of his phoenix powers. The OP3 version of Marco is a five-cost 6,000 power character that can K.O. a character once it comes into play. And yes, it can come back after being K.O’d as well.
9Charlotte Katakuri
As a game evolves, cards become harder to remove due to protection effects, non-targeting effects, and more. With the introduction of the yellow color in the One Piece Card Game, new and fresh strategies opened up with mechanics revolving around trigger cards and healing life.
Katakuri lets you add one of your opponent’s characters to their life, removing them from play without using an effect to K.O. them. This can get past pesky cards like Borsalino that cannot be K.O’d by card effects. This premier removal tool is expensive for a reason.
8Charlotte Perospero
Seeing that cheap cost and base 5,000 power makes everybody’s stomach upset. As soon as Perospero gets dropped on play, he’s immediately a threat that needs to be removed. After he is played, if you don’t have blockers on play, you’ll have to prepare yourself to burn through a ton of counters.

The best part is that, even when you manage to K.O. him, his On K.O. effect will trigger, and he will let you search for a Big Mom Pirates card from your deck, including another copy of Perospero.
7Charlotte Linlin
There are very few ten-cost cards in the game, but the ones that are around are ones that will stick around, both in-game and on the board. Linlin lets you heal a point of life and trash one of your opponent’s.
Her trashing effect is one of the best around since other effects that do the same require another step, whether it’s attacking or a keyword like Banish. Not only can Linlin bring you back from the brink of death, but after her effect resolves she can just be a threat to anything on the board with her massive 12,000 power.
6Izo
All it takes to make a deck good sometimes is a card that can search it. In Whitebeard’s case, it just makes the deck even stronger. Whitebeard already has a searcher card in the form of the Whitebeard Pirates event card, but with the release of Izo, it almost makes the event obsolete.
Whitebeard Pirates only searches for character cards, while Izo can search for any Whitebeard Pirates type card, meaning events, characters and stages. All of this while being on a 2,000-power body is a perfect inclusion for yourexpensive Zoro deck.
5Kaya
Blue decks love to draw cards until there’s no tomorrow and now with Kaya, they have a brand-new outlet. Kaya effect allows you to draw two cards and trash two. This can cycle through your deck fast and find the pieces you need to finish your combos.

In newer decks like Nami that can get you a victory by simply milling your entire deck, Kaya is essential. Kaya also boasts a high 2,000 power counter and, since her cost is so low, you’re able to play her early and even bounce her back to your hand with cards like Arabesque Brick Fist.
4Issho
As the last Admiral to join the One Piece Card Game, Issho waltzes in with powerful effects. This card can use black’s main effect to reduce characters’ cost by three, opening up many avenues of play with cards like Kaku or Sakazuki.
One Piece Card Game relies on hand size quite a bit due to the counter system. Issho negates this by ripping two cards out of your opponent’s hand whenever he comes into play. His power is nothing to laugh at, either. A 9,000 beater will not need any DON!! commitment to be able to do damage.
3Zeff
Zeff is a niche card by all means. This character is only used alongside the Nami leader since her win condition is milling the deck down to zero. Zeff can mill seven cards off the top of your deck whenever he does damage to your opponent, starting your mill way faster than any other card.
On play, Zeff can also return a character costing three or less to the hand and mill two cards. This can get rid of a pesky blocker that will stop Zeff from attacking or even return a Kaya to your hand to play her again.
2Buggy
There are many characters that can search for characters within their archetype, but Buggy is a bit different as he can search for any red event card from the top five cards of your deck and put it into your hand. Buggy is direct support for the Portgas D. Ace deck, which revolves around using event cards as counters and powering up your attacks as well by pitching them to the trash.
Following along with his Slice-Slice Fruit power, Buggy cannot be K.O’d by characters with the Slash attribute, an effect that is not very common in the game.
1Charlotte Pudding
OP3 Pillars Of Strength is filled with many excellent searchers for different archetypes, but Pudding is probably the best one found in the set. Like most searchers, Pudding only costs one DON!! to play, but not only can she search for a Big Mom Pirates card, but she can also look for her supposed-to-be husband.
What makes Pudding so strong is that you can use her when you go first in a game, find Charlotte Perospero, then play him on your second turn with three DON!!
