ST-02 Worst Generation

Overview

ST-02 Worst Generation is a mono-green deck of {Supernovas} Characters led by Eustass"Captain"Kid. The Leader has 5000 power and 5 Life. Once per turn during your Main Phase, you can rest 3 DON!! cards and trash 1 card from your hand to set the Leader as active, which lets it attack a second time.

Around the Leader, the deck's 17 different cards rest and remove opposing Characters. Straw Sword rests a Character, Killer K.O.s a rested Character with a cost of 3 or less when played, and Basil Hawkins sets itself active after battling a Character with 1 DON!! attached. Trafalgar Law untaps one of your Supernovas, and the 7-cost Eustass"Captain"Kid is a 7000-power [Blocker] that stands back up at the end of your turn with 1 DON!!.

Only ST02-007 Jewelry Bonney is still legal in Standard. The rest of the box, Leader included, rotated on April 1, 2026, so ST-02 now fits casual games and Bandai's Extra Regulation format. There is no green Kid Leader in Standard; the legal Kid Leaders are OP10-099 (yellow) and ST10-003 (red and purple). The closest green successor is OP07-019 Jewelry Bonney, a {Supernovas} Leader that rests opposing cards.

Ratings

These are TurnZero HQ's own read of the cards, not tournament results or an official Bandai rating. How we rate starter decks →

How it plays

The deck wins by attacking more times than your opponent can block. In the early turns, play cheap bodies like Bepo and Urouge, and use Jewelry Bonney to search for Supernovas cards. Urouge gains +2000 power with 1 DON!! once you have 3 Characters, so building a wide board early pays off.

From turn four, rest a key opposing Character with Straw Sword, then K.O. it with Killer if it costs 3 or less. X.Drake gives your Supernovas and Navy cards +1000 power on your turn once it is rested with 1 DON!!, so attack with it first. With 1 DON!! attached, Scratchmen Apoo rests one of your opponent's DON!! cards when it attacks, which limits what they can do on their next turn.

Late in the game, the Leader's untap turns your Leader into two attacks. Spend the 3 DON!! only when the second attack matters, such as when your opponent is at 1 or 2 Life, because it also costs a card you might need as a counter. When played, Trafalgar Law can untap a rested Supernovas Character for a further attack.

Tips for your first games

• Attack with the Leader before you use its effect, so the untap gives you a real second attack.
• Trash a card with no counter value, like the 7-cost Eustass"Captain"Kid or Basil Hawkins, to pay for the Leader's effect.
• Play Straw Sword before Killer in the same turn so Killer has a rested target.
• Scalpel and Repel set a DON!! card active after the counter, which can pay for a second counter Event in the same battle.
• Basil Hawkins only untaps after battling a Character, so aim it at Characters, not the Leader.

Every upgrade below is legal in Standard and shares a color with the Leader. Prices are each card's base printing on TCGplayer on October 10, 2026; open a card for today's price.

Budget Supernovas searchers and spare DON!! for defense

ST-02's counter Events cost DON!! cards on your opponent's turn, and the deck usually ends its own turn with everything rested after paying for the Leader's untap. Urouge and Basil Hawkins set a DON!! card active at the end of your turn, and Kid & Killer searches for a Supernovas card and can trash itself on your opponent's turn to set a DON!! active, so you still have DON!! for Repel or Scalpel. Killer is a 2-cost [Blocker] that draws a card when it blocks with 1 DON!! and 3 Characters out, and Scratchmen Apoo rests a small Character on play. Every card here is budget-priced and Standard-legal, and all of them also fit a Jewelry Bonney deck. The cost is a lower curve, so you give up some of the 5000 and 6000 bodies.

Kid & Killer

ST24-002

Searches the top 5 for Supernovas, then can trash itself to set a DON!! active

Rest and lock opposing Characters

ST-02 already rests Characters with Straw Sword and K.O.s rested ones with Killer. These cards push that further by keeping rested Characters down for a turn. Jewelry Bonney (OP07-026) and EB02-015 Jewelry Bonney stop a rested Character from untapping in your opponent's next Refresh Phase, X.Drake rests a Character with a cost of 5 or less when your Leader is Supernovas, and Radio Knife rests a Character and K.O.s a rested one in a single card. This costs you some counters, since most of these are 5- to 7-cost cards with 1000 counters.

Rests a Character with cost 5 or less, then sets a DON!! active at end of turn

Jewelry Bonney

Move to the OP07-019 Jewelry Bonney Leader

For Standard, OP07-019 Jewelry Bonney is the closest green Supernovas Leader to Kid. Once per turn when your opponent attacks, you can rest 1 DON!! card to rest one of their Leader or Character cards, which protects your Life and sets up Killer-style removal. It is the Leader of ST-24, so many of the cards above come from that box. More Pizza!! searches for any Supernovas card, Basil Hawkins (OP07-029) gains [Blocker] under a Supernovas Leader, and Bartolomeo draws and filters whenever your effects rest a Character. Bartolomeo and More Pizza!! are the pricier cards in this list.
