One Piece Card Game · Color Pairs
Blue/Black in the One Piece TCG
Blue/Black is a control pair: Blue draws and bounces, Black lowers costs and K.O.s by cost. Two of its three Standard Leaders are Sakazuki, and both point it at the Navy.
Blue/Black is a deck led by a Blue/Black Leader, so it can play any Blue card and any Black card. Blue's card filtering with Black's cost removal, mostly built around the Navy.
As of October 2026, Bandai has printed four Blue/Black Leaders. Three are legal in Standard, one has rotated out with block 1.
How Blue/Black Plays
Sakazuki (OP05-041) trashes a card to draw one once per turn and gives an opposing Character −1 cost when he attacks. The promo Sakazuki (P-076) trashes a Navy card instead for the −1 cost. Blue's draw keeps the hand full, and Black's cost cuts bring Characters into range of Black's K.O. effects and Blue's return-to-hand and bottom-of-deck ones.
Usopp (OP10-042) goes the other way with costs: your Dressrosa Characters with a cost of 2 or more gain +1 cost, which keeps them out of reach of effects that remove a Character at or below a cost. When one is removed by your opponent's effect or K.O.'d on their turn, he draws a card if you hold 5 or fewer.
What each color does on its own, counted from the card text, is in Blue and Black on the colors page.
What It Does Well, and What It Doesn't
Strengths
- Removal by cost from Black plus bounce from Blue: few Characters are safe from both.
- Card filtering from Sakazuki's trash-and-draw.
- Usopp's +1 cost protects your own Characters from cost-based removal.
Weaknesses
- Little power boosting, so attacks rely on DON!!.
- Trashing cards to draw thins your Counters.
- Three Leaders were legal in Standard as of October 2026, and two are the same character.
Blue/Black Leaders
Your Leader is the only two-color card in a Blue/Black deck: every two-color card Bandai has printed is a Leader. These are the ones legal in Standard as of October 2026, with what each one asks of the deck.

Sakazuki (Pirates Party Vol. 7)

Rotated out of Standard with block 1 on April 1, 2026, and still playable in casual games: Rebecca (OP04-039).
How Leaders work, and the ones that change deckbuilding rules, is in One Piece Leader cards.
Cards Worth Knowing
The rest of the deck is single-color cards. These show what the pair's Leaders are built to use; they are examples from Standard-legal sets, not a list of the best cards.
Where to Start
No English starter deck has a Blue/Black Leader as of October 2026, so this pair is built from booster cards. The starter deck guide lists the boxes in Blue or Black if you want a one-color deck to start from.
To build one, pick the Leader first and fill the 50 cards in its colors; the steps are in how to build a One Piece deck. TurnZero HQ's One Piece Deck Lab flags any card that doesn't share a color with your Leader, and decks players have published are at One Piece decks, searchable by deck name or by a card in the deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Blue/Black do in the One Piece TCG?
It controls the board. Black lowers costs and K.O.s by cost, Blue draws and returns Characters to hand or the bottom of the deck, and the Sakazuki Leaders do a little of both.
What are the Blue/Black Leaders in the One Piece TCG?
As of October 2026 there are 4: Sakazuki (OP05-041), Sakazuki (P-076), Usopp (OP10-042) and Rebecca (OP04-039). 3 are legal in Standard; OP04-039 rotated out with block 1 on April 1, 2026.
Is there a Blue/Black starter deck?
Not as of October 2026. No English starter deck has a Blue/Black Leader, so a Blue/Black deck is built from booster cards. The starter deck guide lists every box by color.
