Five Elders deployment is reshaping removal-based deckbuilding. Tournament and community signals both treat Imu as the format's primary benchmark.
Repeated attacks pressure Red/Blue Ace with a clear, reliable game plan. It remains approachable while producing steady high-level results.
A 6000-power Leader, card advantage and early Edward Newgate deployment keep Ace among the strongest recurring answers to Imu.
OP09-022Why nowDON!! acceleration can land 9-cost Zoro before Imu or Ace fully establishes its late-game engine.
RiskTargeted matchups are promising, but performance becomes much harder outside them.
ST12-001Why nowIts unusual restand plan can target Imu and Green Zoro, backed by a 4-0 OP13 tournament result.
RiskRed/Blue Ace is difficult and the deck's results depend heavily on pilot skill.
OP05-002Why nowThe community repeatedly highlights Betty's ability to pressure Imu, Ace and Roger before their late games come online.
RiskCommunity discussion consistently flags Green Zoro as a difficult matchup.
Players argue that Five Elders invalidate traditional removal, while others point to Ace and Zoro as meaningful counterplay.
VAN GRADE view · Leaving too many removal cards that fail into Imu can clog your hand.Community discussion favors targeting one or two of Imu, Ace and Zoro instead of trying to beat everything.
VAN GRADE view · Track the Leaders at your local store, then tune two to four flexible slots.Japan moved to OP-17 on August 22 while Korea is on OPK-14 and EBK-03, so copying deck names alone can produce lists that are not yet buildable in Korea.
VAN GRADE view · VAN GRADE separates Korean-playable recommendations from overseas previews.Green Zoro is easier to understand. Read the early, mid and late-game plan before buying cards.
