One Piece Deck Base

Attack every turn you can pay the trash. The reveal is how you find the next on-curve Rocks Pirates card. Do not sit on the Leader to “save” a trash when the top-deck is your only search. Cards that are not Rocks Pirates miss the draw — Buckin (OP08-051) is typed Former Rocks Pirates, so she does not count.

Mihawk gains +1000 if the opposing Leader is Slash. You are giving him a 6000-power Leader for free. That is the 66.4% Mihawk record in this pairing, not a play mistake.

Nine cards are 4-ofs: Kyo (OP17-045), Miss Buckingham Stussy (OP17-054), Gloriosa (OP17-046), Charlotte Linlin (OP17-049), Edward Newgate (OP17-040), Shiki (OP17-048), Rocks D. Xebec (OP17-118), Rocks Pirates (OP17-056), and There’s No Authority in the World That Lasts Forever!!! (OP17-055). The 3-ofs are Streusen (OP17-050), Don Marlon (OP17-052), Captain John (OP17-044), and Kaido (OP17-042). Buckin is the 2-of.

That is a tight type deck. OPDeckGuide’s Rocks guide is the public curve this page follows. Tech space is small because the 4-ofs already fill the even costs.

OPDeckGuide splits the deck into two on-curve lines. Going second is the preferred seat so the 7-cost Shiki and 10-cost Xebec turns land on time. Shiki is printed at 7, not 8 — on 8 DON!! going second you play him and still have 1 DON!! up.

Even line. 2 DON!! Kyo (draw 1, protect a removal). 4 DON!! Captain John (forces attacks at him while rested) or Gloriosa (Blocker, bottom a cost-5-or-less). 6 DON!! Newgate (draw 1; trash to give the Leader +3000 in battle). 7–8 DON!! Shiki (Rush: Character, trash a Rocks Pirates card for −3000).

Odd line. 1 DON!! Streusen (reorder 2, draw 1). Then Kyo. Then Linlin on 5 DON!! (opponent draws 2 or trashes 2). Then Shiki. Do not hold Linlin to “save” Shiki if the board is empty.

10 DON!! — Character Xebec. On play he draws 1 and plays up to two Rocks Pirates with different names and a total cost of 9 or less. That is the double-deploy the deck wins or folds on. Keep one Xebec in the late hand; two is a brick if Shiki never hit. The two 4-of 0-cost events set up or protect that turn: Rocks Pirates bounces a cost-6-or-less (rest 5 DON!!); There’s No Authority gives the Leader Unblockable (rest 1 DON!!).

Going first, keep Kyo plus John or Streusen plus Linlin. Accept that Xebec is a turn later. A hand of Shiki + Xebec + events with no 2-cost is a mulligan.

Keep (second): Kyo + (Captain John, Gloriosa, or Linlin) + (Newgate or Shiki). That is a complete even or odd line.

Keep (first): Streusen or Kyo, plus one 4- or 5-cost. Shiki in this seat is fine if the cheap card is there.

Ship: double Xebec, event-only hands, and Kaido + Xebec with no 2-cost. Ship Buckin as the only 1-cost — she is a 2-of, not the Kyo replacement, and she does not hit the Leader reveal.

Buckin (2). Extra 1-cost. She is not Rocks Pirates type. Do not cut Kyo for a third copy. Don Marlon (3). 3-cost that returns a 0-cost blue Event from trash. Keep if you burn Rocks Pirates / There’s No Authority on sight. Kaido (3). 4-cost Blocker that −3000s if you reveal 3 Rocks Pirates from hand — the 4-drop backup, not an 8-cost. Stussy / Gloriosa (4 each). These look like tech and are not. Stussy stops a cost-6-or-less from attacking; Gloriosa bottoms a 5-or-less. Cutting them for “answers” is how the type density dies.

OPDeckGuide’s warning is the constraint: there is little tech space. If you add a card that is not Rocks Pirates, you miss draws off the Leader. Do not splash a card that is not on a hosted 50-card list.

Limitless constructed pairings from 28 August 2026, 16 events, 832 games, 8-game cutoff — same sample as the Mihawk pairing table:

Rocks vs Mihawk — 33.6% · 149 games (50–99). Mihawk is 66.4% in the pairing. Slash Leader plus a recycled-DON!! rest lock is the worst matchup in the sample.

New Realm still puts Rocks in Tier 1 with Mihawk and Sabo — the deck wins the seats Mihawk is not. A public Top 32 Utrecht Finals graphic counted only 1 Xebec; that is conversion, not proof the deck is unplayable.

OPDeckGuide’s qualitative strip, not a pairing table: favorable Sabo, Ace, Linlin, Shanks, Luffy & Ace, Enel. Unfavorable Mihawk, Kaido, Black Luffy. If the room is Mihawk-heavy, you are the underdog every round you pair it. If the room is Sabo / Ace / Emperor midrange, Rocks is the deck New Realm is ranking in Tier 1. Do not “tech Mihawk” by cutting Rocks Pirates cards — you just lose the other pairings too.

The hub’s latest public dumps are OP17 Rocks Pirates piles: Cardshop Flagship Battle winner, TSUTAYA and POCOP TCG PORTAL winners, Bali Awakening Zone, and SaikyoCup. They keep the 4-of Kyo / Stussy / Gloriosa / Linlin / Newgate / Shiki / Xebec / events core and fight over Streusen, Don Marlon, Captain John, and Kaido. Those pages are 50-card ID dumps, not art guesses.
