ST-05 ONE PIECE FILM edition

Overview

ST-05 collects characters from the One Piece films, from Strong World's Shiki to Film Red's Uta, and every card in it carries the FILM type. The Leader is Shanks (ST05-001), a 5000 power Leader with 5 Life whose once-per-turn effect returns 3 DON!! to your DON!! deck to give all of your FILM Characters +2000 power for the turn.

The deck's 17 different cards are the Leader plus 16 Characters and Events, including Uta, Gild Tesoro, Douglas Bullet and Shiki. All of them are block 1 cards, so the whole box left Standard on April 1, 2026. You can still play it at a kitchen table or in Bandai's Extra Regulation, where every card is legal except the ban list.

It suits a player who likes the purple DON!! −X mechanic (returning DON!! from your field to your DON!! deck as a cost) and wants a deck with a clear theme. If you want a Standard deck, read the upgrade section first: there is no purple Shanks Leader in Standard, and the FILM cards that remain are mostly red.

Every card in ST-05, including the Shanks Leader (ST05-001), is a block 1 card and has been out of Standard since April 1, 2026.

How it plays

The deck wins by building a board of FILM Characters and then using Shanks to push all of them past your opponent's blockers and counters on one turn. Each FILM Character gains +2000 power, so a board of three or four attackers becomes hard to defend against all at once.

Early turns are for setup. Buena Festa looks at 5 cards and adds a FILM card to your hand, Ain adds a rested DON!! when it is played, and Carina can add 2 rested DON!! if your opponent has more DON!! than you. Those last two let you spend DON!! −X effects without falling behind on DON!!.

From turn five on, the big cards take over. Gild Tesoro returns 2 DON!! when it attacks to draw 2 cards, and Douglas Bullet returns 4 DON!! to rest up to 2 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 6 or less and gain [Double Attack]. Union Armada protects a FILM Character for the turn and gives +4000 power, so keep one for the turn you commit to attacking.

Tips for your first games

• Use the Shanks Leader effect after your Characters are on the field, since it only pumps FILM Characters you control during that turn.
• Play Carina on a turn when your opponent has more DON!! than you, and trash a FILM card you do not need to add 2 DON!!.
• Before you return 4 DON!! for Douglas Bullet, check that you can still pay for the next turn's plays.
• Uta can block and then return 1 DON!! to rest one of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 5 or less, which keeps it from attacking next turn.
• Lion's Threat Imperial Earth Bind and Union Armada both add an active DON!! when they are revealed as a Trigger, so a Life hit can refund a DON!! −X turn.

Swap in the purple FILM Characters still in Standard

Four purple FILM Characters from OP06 are still Standard legal and fit the Shanks Leader's +2000 to FILM Characters. Count Battler returns 1 DON!! to rest up to 2 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 2 or less, the OP06 Gild Tesoro returns 1 DON!! to add up to 2 FILM Characters with a cost of 4 or less from your trash to your hand, Eldoraggo is a 5 cost 7000 power body with a counter, and Zephyr(Navy) returns 1 DON!! to negate a Character and K.O. it if it has 5000 power or less. They are the same cards you would carry into an OP06-001 Uta deck, so they are not wasted if you move on. Gild Tesoro is the one card here that is not budget.

Count Battler

OP06-075

DON!! −1 to rest up to 2 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 2 or less

Gild Tesoro

OP06-071

DON!! −1 to return up to 2 FILM Characters (cost 4 or less) from trash to hand

Eldoraggo

OP06-070

5 cost, 7000 power FILM Character with a 1000 counter

Zephyr(Navy)

OP06-074

DON!! −1 to negate a Character, then K.O. it if it has 5000 power or less

Budget DON!! refunds and removal

The deck's real limit is DON!!: the Leader, Douglas Bullet and Gild Tesoro all return it, and only a few cards bring it back. These purple cards are all budget and either add DON!! from your DON!! deck or give you removal for a small DON!! −X cost. Conquerer of Three Worlds Ragnaraku K.O.s a Character with a cost of 8 or less for DON!! −1, and Gum-Gum Jump Rope rests a Character with a cost of 5 or less and draws a card. Punk Vise and Benevolent King of the Waves each add a rested DON!!, and Little Black Bears is a +4000 counter event. None of them are FILM cards, so they do not benefit from the Leader's effect.

EB01-039

Every card in ST-05

Bandai's card list for ST-05 has 17 different cards. 17 of them carry a block 1 icon or are banned, so they can't be played in Standard; they are still legal in Extra Regulation unless banned. Legality follows Bandai's block icons and its banned list effective October 12, 2026.
