One Piece TCG Gets Its First Full-Color Starter Deck Wave — All Six Drop July 31
Bandai releases ST-31 through ST-36 simultaneously on July 31, covering every color in the game and bundling each deck with an OP-16: The Time of Battle booster pack.
Dismiss these as beginner product at your own risk. Every deck ships with an OP-16 booster pack, which means day-one buyers are pulling from the newest set the moment they open the box — that's a built-in demand driver for OP-16 sealed and singles alike. The five newly illustrated cards per deck are the real collector hook: fresh art on high-profile leaders like Luffy (Nika), Zoro, and Katakuri means new chase variants entering the market simultaneously across all six colors. A wave this broad, dropping on a single day, tends to spike interest in the leaders' existing card histories as new players look backward through the catalog. With The National running right now in Rosemont, Illinois, One Piece vendor tables will be fielding questions about this wave all week — expect retail movement before the decks even hit shelves.
- All six starter decks (ST-31 through ST-36) release simultaneously on July 31, 2026.
- Each deck covers one game color: Red (Luffy/Nika), Green (Zoro), Blue (Kuzan), Purple (Katakuri), Black (Sabo), Yellow (Kid).
- Every deck includes a pre-constructed 51-card build with 5 newly illustrated cards and 10 reprinted staples.
- Each deck also includes 10 DON!! cards, a playsheet, and one OP-16: The Time of Battle booster pack.
- This is the first wave to cover all six colors in a single simultaneous release.
- The bundled OP-16 pack ties starter deck sales directly to the newest booster set's demand.
