One Piece Card Game · Color Pairs
Blue/Purple in the One Piece TCG
Blue/Purple pairs the draw color with the DON!! color. Its Leaders turn Purple's DON!! −X costs into cards, or search for Straw Hat Crew cards once you reach a full DON!! area.
Blue/Purple is a deck led by a Blue/Purple Leader, so it can play any Blue card and any Purple card. Blue's draw with Purple's DON!!, turning DON!! −X costs into cards.
As of October 2026, Bandai has printed six Blue/Purple Leaders. Four are legal in Standard, two have rotated out with block 1.
How Blue/Purple Plays
Vinsmoke Reiju (OP06-042) draws a card the first time each of your turns a DON!! returns to your DON!! deck, which makes every Purple DON!! −X cost also a draw. Sanji (OP12-041) pays DON!! −1 to activate a 3-cost or cheaper Straw Hat Crew Event from your hand and adds a rested DON!! when he attacks if you are not ahead on DON!!.
Monkey.D.Luffy (OP11-040) is a 6000-power Leader with 3 Life. At the start of each of your turns with 8 or more DON!!, he looks at the top 5 cards and takes a Straw Hat Crew card, so Purple's ramp gets him there sooner. Bandai's list effective October 12, 2026 allows him but bars him from a deck with Charlotte Katakuri (OP11-067) or Charlotte Linlin (OP08-069).
What each color does on its own, counted from the card text, is in Blue and Purple on the colors page.
What It Does Well, and What It Doesn't
Strengths
- Card advantage on top of ramp: Blue draws and Purple adds DON!!.
- DON!! −X effects become cheaper when Reiju replaces them with cards.
- Four Leaders were legal in Standard as of October 2026.
Weaknesses
- No K.O.s from Blue's cards, so removal is bounce and Purple's DON!!-cost K.O. effects.
- DON!! −X leaves fewer DON!! for the turn, and Luffy needs 8 on the field to search.
- Luffy's 3 Life and the Katakuri and Linlin restriction narrow his deck.

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/Purple Leader as of October 2026, so this pair is built from booster cards. The starter deck guide lists the boxes in Blue or Purple 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.
