Concept

[Kaido] makes his return as a purple Leader. His Leader effect, which allows you to spend 1 DON!! card to lower the power of 1 of your opponent's Characters by 2000, can be used in combination with the many 10-cost [Kaido] and high-cost "Lead Performers" cards in this deck to dominate battles and seize control of the field. Many {Animal Kingdom Pirates} cards also have powerful DON!!-ramping abilities, so take advantage of them to get a head start on your opponent.

Deck Breakdown

By giving DON!! cards to your Leader "OP17-058 Kaido" as soon as possible, you can make use of its effect early on to dominate the field with big Characters.
This deck runs a lot of high-cost, high-power {Animal Kingdom Pirates} cards.
Try to play cards that allow you to add DON!! cards early on, such as "OP17-074 Yamato" and "OP17-065 Queen", so you can get heavy-hitters on the field as soon as possible.

Your Leader "OP17-058 Kaido" has [When Attacking] and [On Your Opponent's Attack] effects that can each be used once per turn to give up to 1 of your opponent's Characters −2000 power in exchange for returning 1 DON!! card to your DON!! deck, making it well-suited for both offense and defense.
Use these effects when your turn comes around to return any used DON!! cards to your DON!! deck and lower the power of your opponent's rested Characters, then use your other Characters to defeat them.
In order to use them to their full potential, you'll want to focus on adding DON!! cards at the start of the game. Try to avoid using your Leader effect until you've gathered enough DON!! cards.

Add more DON!! cards and aim to play out big Characters as quickly as possible.
"OP17-060 Ulti & Page One" has an [On Play] effect that allows you to add 1 DON!! card as active while K.O.ing one of your opponent's Characters with 3000 power or less. Use it to add DON!! cards so you can have 9 cards at your disposal next turn.
"EB04-031 King" is also a great card to play. Its [Activate: Main] effect allows you to add 2 DON!! cards, making it possible to quickly reach a turn in which you'll have 10 DON!! cards ready for use.

By adding more DON!! cards, you can play a big Character in what would be a mid-game turn for your opponent. "OP17-061 Lead Performers" is a powerful Character that is great to play early on.
Playing it early also means you can get the most use out of its [Activate: Main] effect. After hitting your opponent with a devastating 11000 damage attack, you can use its [Activate: Main] effect to trash it and play a "King", "Queen", or "Jack" from your hand, allowing you to switch it with whatever card suits your current situation most. Its [On Play] effect can also be used to replenish your Life, making it an extremely versatile card.

Next, aim to assemble heavy-hitters on your field and overwhelm your opponent. "OP17-062 Kaido" is a powerful card with particularly good synergy with this deck. It allows you to add 1 DON!! card from your DON!! deck every time one of your DON!! cards is returned to it before setting 1 of your DON!! cards as active, for a total of two active DON!! cards. Use this in combination with your Leader effect to keep producing active DON!! cards.
"OP17-062 Kaido" is also a formidable [Blocker] with 12000 power. Use your active DON!! cards to set up some Counter Events and ensure your defense is airtight.

"OP17-063 Kaido" is another powerful finisher at your disposal. Its [On Play] effect allows you to negate the effect of up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with 6 cost or less before K.O.ing it, giving you an easy way of dealing with any of your opponent's Characters with troublesome effects.
It also gives a +1000 Counter to all Character cards in your hand without a Counter while it's on the field, allowing it to work particularly well with this deck, which includes many big Characters without Counters.
