One Piece TCG Color Pairs: All 15 Combinations

A One Piece deck uses its Leader's colors, so a two-color deck needs a two-color Leader. As of October 2026 every one of the fifteen possible pairs has at least one. This is the index of all fifteen, with how many Leaders each has and a page on how each one plays.

What each of the six colors does on its own (Red's power, Green's resting, Blue's draw and bounce, Purple's DON!!, Black's cost removal, Yellow's Life) is covered in One Piece TCG colors. Start there if the colors are new to you. This page is about what happens when two of them share a deck.

The rule is short: every card in your deck must share a color with your Leader (Comprehensive Rules 5-1-2-2), so a Red/Green Leader lets you play Red cards and Green cards. Every two-color card Bandai has printed is a Leader, so the Leader is the only card in the deck with both colors. As of October 2026, Bandai's English card list has 68 two-color Leaders, 52 of them legal in Standard.

Pairs with a starter deck

A starter deck with a Leader in the pair is the cheapest way to try it: the 50 cards are already built around that Leader.

Red/Green 8 Leaders, 6 in Standard Red's power and [Rush] with Green's resting, built around giving and readying DON!!. Starter deck: ST-30 Red/Purple 6 Leaders, 5 in Standard Purple's DON!! ramp feeding Red's big attackers, with DON!! counts that switch effects on. Starter deck: ST-10 Red/Black 4 Leaders, 3 in Standard Red's power with Black's cost tricks and trash recursion, best known through Sabo. Starter deck: ST-35 Red/Yellow 3 Leaders, 3 in Standard Red's power cuts with Yellow's Life and Triggers, spending Life as a resource. Starter deck: ST-13 Green/Blue 4 Leaders, 3 in Standard Green's resting and readying with Blue's bounce, replaying your own Characters for value. Starter deck: ST-12 Green/Yellow 4 Leaders, 3 in Standard Green's resting with Yellow's Life tricks, led by Yamato's [Double Attack]. Starter deck: ST-28 Blue/Yellow 4 Leaders, 3 in Standard Blue's draw powered by Yellow's Life: Leaders that draw whenever Life cards move. Starter deck: ST-13 Purple/Black 3 Leaders, 2 in Standard Purple's DON!! −X paid back by Luffy, with Black's cost-based removal. Starter deck: ST-26 Black/Yellow 6 Leaders, 5 in Standard Black's cost tricks and trash with Yellow's Life, with more Standard Leaders than any Black pair. Starter deck: ST-13

Pairs built from booster cards

No English starter deck has a Leader in these pairs as of October 2026, so a deck starts from singles or boosters.

Red/Blue 6 Leaders, 5 in Standard Red's power cuts with Blue's draw and hand control, trading cards for tempo. Green/Purple 3 Leaders, 2 in Standard The DON!! pair: Green readies DON!!, Purple adds it, and the deck plays big costs early. Green/Black 3 Leaders, 2 in Standard Green rests, Black lowers costs, and rested low-cost Characters fall to both. Blue/Purple 6 Leaders, 4 in Standard Blue's draw with Purple's DON!!, turning DON!! −X costs into cards. Blue/Black 4 Leaders, 3 in Standard Blue's card filtering with Black's cost removal, mostly built around the Navy. Purple/Yellow 4 Leaders, 3 in Standard Purple's DON!! ramp paid for with Yellow's Life and Triggers.

Cards that reward a two-color Leader

Some single-color cards check whether your Leader is multicolored, so they are stronger in any of the fifteen pairs than in a one-color deck. A few from Standard-legal sets, one or two per color:

Monkey.D.Luffy

OP13-118

Green: [Double Attack]; sets 4 DON!! active on play with a multicolored Leader

Nefeltari Vivi

EB02-026

Blue: Draws 2 on play with a multicolored Leader and 5 or fewer cards

Nami

OP11-054

Blue: [Blocker]; draws 3 and puts 2 back with a multicolored Leader

Monkey.D.Luffy

EB02-061

Purple: Gains [Rush] with a multicolored Leader against 5+ opposing DON!!

Silvers Rayleigh

OP14-108

Yellow: K.O.s a 7000-power Character with a multicolored Leader at 3 or less opposing Life

Carina

EB03-004

Red: [Blocker] that gains +4000 on defense with a multicolored Leader

Black Maria

EB03-044

Black: Gains [Blocker] with a multicolored Leader

Three colors and more

No numbered Leader has three or more colors as of October 2026. The only Leader with more is a six-color Monkey.D.Luffy, printed without a card number for Bandai's designated events such as Sealed Battle. Its text says it can only be used in those events and counts as every card name, type and attribute, so it isn't a pair and has no page here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many color pairs are there in the One Piece TCG?

Fifteen. Six colors make fifteen two-color pairs, and as of October 2026 Bandai has printed at least one two-color Leader in every one of them, so all fifteen can be built.

How many two-color Leaders are there?

As of October 2026, 68 on Bandai's English card list, counted once per card number. 52 of them are legal in Standard; the rest rotated out with block 1 on April 1, 2026, apart from one that is banned.

Which One Piece color pair has the most Leaders?

Red/Green, with 8 as of October 2026, 6 of them legal in Standard. Green/Purple, Green/Black and Purple/Black have the fewest in Standard, with 2 each.

Are there two-color Characters or Events in the One Piece TCG?

Not as of October 2026. Every two-color card on Bandai's English card list is a Leader, so in a two-color deck the Leader is the only card with both colors and the other 50 cards are each one color.

Can a One Piece deck have three colors?

Not in normal play. No numbered Leader has more than two colors. The one exception is a six-color Monkey.D.Luffy Leader printed for Bandai's designated events such as Sealed Battle, whose own text says it can only be used in those events.
