Banned Cards

This card cannot be included in any deck.

OP06-086 Gecko Moria

This card has seen a very high usage rate in decks that include black cards since its release, and we have been keeping a close eye on both its usage rate and its impact on the game. With no restrictions on the Leader it can be used with nor on the Character cards it can bring into play, this card allows the player to gain a huge advantage too easily. Playing it once is enough to create a large disparity between the number of Character cards on the field between the player and their opponent, making it powerful enough to single-handedly determine the winner of a game. We have also determined that developing an 8-cost card that can match or exceed this card's performance will be difficult in the future. As such, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

OP07-045 Jinbe

When combined with Leader "OP01-060 Donquixote Doflamingo" or "ST17-005 Marshall.D.Teach", this card allows the player to play multiple Character cards in the early game, creating an advantage beyond what was originally intended. In the early game, even low-cost and low-power cards can be difficult to deal with, which leads to one-sided battles. Furthermore, as a 4-cost card that puts Character cards into play, we have determined that it would be difficult to develop a card with equal or superior performance in the future. As such, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

OP02-117 Ice Age

Although there are many other cards which share this card's ability to lower costs, this card is the only one that can significantly lower the cost of a Character card for just 1 cost.
This card also synergizes extremely well with other cards with effects that rely on cost, and there is the concern that any future cards which rely on cost will have to be developed with this card in mind, overly constraining future card development. As such, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

EB01-059 Kingdom Come

Although this card is one of many Event cards with the ability to remove opponent's Character cards with its effect, when used in combination with Leader "OP05-098 Enel", the synergy between this card's removal effect and the Leader's defensive ability proved to be more powerful than anticipated. There is also the concern that having to develop cards with this combination in mind will greatly limit the future development of high-cost Character cards. As such, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

ST10-001 Trafalgar Law

This card allows players to both remove their opponent's Character cards by placing them at the bottom of their opponent's deck, bypassing their opponent's use of their trash and On K.O. effects, and to play Character cards directly from their hand. This creates a large disparity between the number of Character cards held by the player and their opponent, with limited ways to counter it. This, combined with the expansion of the card pool since the card's release, has made this card more powerful than any other Leader.
Decks using this card as Leader have a higher win rate and usage rate than other decks due to the combination of its removal ability and its ability to play cards directly from the hand, resulting in games ending earlier than anticipated. We have judged that this significantly impairs the enjoyment of fundamental aspects of the ONE PIECE Card Game: the back-and-forth of attack and defense between Characters and the ability to choose from a variety of Leaders.
Even if we were to impose restrictions on other cards in the deck, we have determined that the wide range of Character cards that can be played directly from the hand allows it to complement a deck's strength in too many ways. We are concerned this could lead to players feeling restricted to using certain Leaders or end up taking away from the diversity of DON!! card effects.
As such, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

OP03-098 Enies Lobby

This card is often played with OP08-079 Rob Lucci and as this card does not include “CP” in its type, which is often considered to be a key part of the deck, there are limited ways for players to add it to their hand. However, if played early in the game, it is possible for players to use it to continuously reduce the cost of their opponent's Characters until the end of the game. This results in the card having a disproportionately large impact on the game despite its unreliability.
In addition to the above, it is also difficult for opponents to counter due to it being a Stage card, and we have determined that its use significantly impairs the enjoyment of fundamental aspects of the ONE PIECE Card Game: the back-and-forth of attack and defense and the strategic interactions involving multiple cards.
As such, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

OP05-041 Sakazuki

This card's effect allows players to draw cards with little risk, making the ideal game plan centered around this card easily replicable. Its reliability is a strength that sets it apart from other Leaders, especially in tournaments.
In addition, the blue and black color combination affords highly flexible effects, with black serving to lower cost and blue removing Character cards at the bottom of the deck. The result is a deck that is more powerful than expected, leading to one-sided battles that ignore the use of the trash, [On K.O.] effects, and other game mechanics.
This card has a higher win rate and usage rate than other cards due to its powerful removal ability, reliability, and minimal risk, and significantly impairs the enjoyment of fundamental aspects of the ONE PIECE Card Game: the back-and-forth of attack and defense between Characters and the ability to choose from a variety of Leaders. We have therefore decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

ST06-015 Great Eruption

While many other cards reduce cost in a way similar to this card, this is the only card that can reduce cost without consuming any cards in the player’s hand or imposing any conditions, making it powerful in every stage of the game. We have determined that this card significantly lowers the risk involved in removal for decks containing black cards.
Given the very high usage rate and win rate of decks that include black cards, and the fact that this card has the highest usage rate among cards that reduce cost, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

OP06-116 Reject

The "deal 1 damage to your opponent" effect of this card greatly improves the ability of decks containing yellow cards, which often feature [Trigger] effects, to deal finishing blows. It thereby makes these decks harder to deal with than expected and significantly boosts their win rate.
In addition, we are concerned that the cost of dealing 1 damage via this effect is low and the ability to easily ignore offensive and defensive play causes more stress for players than expected, so we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.
