One Piece TCG Budget Decks: Current Lists Under $100

One Piece TCG budget decks are easiest to compare when the list, date, and price method are visible. This monthly page prices complete public decklists instead of promising that every competitive shell costs the same. The URL stays fixed so each refresh can replace stale totals with a new snapshot.

One Piece TCG budget decks: quick answer

For the September 29, 2026 snapshot, the lowest-cost complete list in this sample is Black Blackbeard at $31.99. Black Yamato follows at $38.78, Red Ace at $83.26, and Blue Rocks at $90.84. Each total is for one Leader plus 50 main-deck cards from a current public OPMetagame list. Prices come from data/optcg-pool.json, not a promise that a checkout cart will match to the cent.

The useful comparison is not simply cheapest versus most expensive. Blackbeard has the smallest entry cost but asks you to build around a self-imposed On Play restriction. Yamato is inexpensive because its core is mostly regular OP-16 copies, but it has a noticeable $8 Ground Death line. Ace and Rocks stay under a $100 planning target in this snapshot, yet their expensive finishers account for much of the total. That is the information a general “budget under $100” rule cannot show.

TL;DR: The sampled lists cost $31.99 for Black Blackbeard, $38.78 for Black Yamato, $83.26 for Red Ace, and $90.84 for Blue Rocks before shipping, tax, fees, and premium treatments. They are dated public decklists, not permanent rankings. Check the legality flags and the live Bandai restriction page before buying. Updated September 30, 2026: This page now uses four current OPMetagame decklists, the September 29 data/optcg-pool.json price snapshot, and the pool's banned, restricted, banned-pair, and scheduled-ban fields. Recheck the One Piece TCG banlist and effective dates before buying a rotation-sensitive shell or entering an event.

How the price snapshot works

The source data has one row per card ID, including the card's set, type, color, traits, legality fields, and price_usd. I matched every quantity in each selected public list to its card ID, multiplied the unit snapshot by the quantity, and summed the Leader plus 50 main-deck cards. A table line therefore shows four things: quantity, exact card number, unit snapshot, and the line total.

The price field is a useful comparison point, not a live checkout quote. It does not add shipping, tax, marketplace fees, seller minimums, language differences, card condition, or the premium attached to alternate art and parallel printings. A card with a low unit value can still be expensive to source if you have to order it from several sellers. Conversely, a local store or playset listing can beat the simple multiplication used here.

The lists themselves come from public OPMetagame deck pages checked for this refresh. I am using those pages to identify concrete shells and their tournament context, not to turn four sample lists into a universal tier ranking. The current OP-17 meta tier list is the better place to compare tracker tier labels and the limits of their denominators. This article's extra value is the card-by-card purchase math.

GODEEPER: A cheap list still has to be legal for the event you want to play. See the One Piece TCG Standard Format Guide 2026 → before you choose a rotation-sensitive shell.

One Piece TCG budget decks by leader and price

These are not four invented recipes. Each is a complete 51-card list from a public deck page, with the Leader included in the total. For players searching cheap One Piece TCG decks, the useful comparison is the exact list behind the number, not a generic promise that every deck under $100 performs the same. The deck pages are linked again in References so you can compare the source list with this price snapshot.

Blue Rocks, $90.84 before fees

OP17-039OP17-039Shop on TCGplayer Rocks D. Xebec is the Leader in a Blue OP-17 list that uses Rocks Pirates density to support its attack trigger. This list is the most expensive of the four because four copies of the OP17-118OP17-118Shop on TCGplayer OP17-118 Secret Rare Rocks D. Xebec contribute $70.72 by themselves. That is a useful warning: a deck can fit under a $100 target while still having one card that dominates the upgrade bill.

Source list: OPMetagame Blue Rocks deck by pacio23. It was listed as a 51-card list and showed a recent ChinoizeCup result when checked. The result supports calling it a real public shell, not a prediction that every player will reproduce the finish.

The practical budget decision is whether the Rocks plan is worth the Secret Rare playset. If you already own two copies, the remaining purchase is much smaller. If you own none, the list is not really a $20 deck with a few extras. Treat the finisher line as the actual entry barrier, and test the Leader with proxies or borrowed copies before buying premium cards where your event rules allow it.

Red Ace, $83.26 before fees

OP16-001OP16-001Shop on TCGplayer Portgas D. Ace uses an effect that gives Rush to a qualifying Monkey D. Luffy or Whitebeard Pirates Character. The list's main price concentration is two OP16-118 Portgas D. Ace copies at $17.11 each, two OP10-005 Sanji copies at $9.94 each, and four copies of OP16-003OP16-003Shop on TCGplayer Edward Newgate at $2.22 each. Together, those lines explain why a seemingly inexpensive red core approaches the $100 mark.

Source list: OPMetagame Red Ace deck by dxmi. The list was shown as a recent ChinoizeCup top-three shell when checked. That is evidence that the list is worth testing, not a promise that its current price predicts future results.

Ace is a good example of why “under $100” needs a complete list. Replacing the two high-cost Ace copies or the Sanji pair may save money, but it may also change the Leader's ability to convert a large Whitebeard Pirates body into immediate pressure. Test the exact substitution, not only the dollar difference.

Black Blackbeard, $31.99 before fees

The Black Blackbeard list is the lowest-price sample. Its Leader, Marshall D. Teach, turns off your own On Play effects and can discard a card to negate the opponent's On Play effects through the opponent's next turn. That restriction is the archetype's point, so the budget advantage does not come from removing a required engine. It comes from a list whose regular-print cards have modest snapshots.

Source list: OPMetagame Black Blackbeard deck. It was shown at $31.99 in the local price calculation. The pool has no card-ID shortcode and image entry for OP09-081 in the site card database, so this article keeps the Leader as verified plain text rather than guessing a card chip.

The $13 Tempest Kick playset is the largest line, not an accidental rounding issue. It is still much cheaper than the Rocks or Ace finishers in this sample. The deck is a strong budget candidate when you actively want a denial plan. It is a poor choice if you dislike planning around the effects your own Leader suppresses.

Black Yamato, $38.78 before fees

OP16-079OP16-079Shop on TCGplayer Yamato is the second-cheapest sample and uses the Land of Wano card pool to turn Characters played from the trash into immediate pressure. The list has a concentrated $8 Ground Death copy and $6.84 across four copies of OP16-098OP16-098Shop on TCGplayer Yamato. Its low total depends on those exact quantities, not on the assumption that every black Yamato card is inexpensive.

Source list: OPMetagame Black Yamato deck. It was shown at $38.78 in the September 29 calculation. The list uses a mix of OP-16 and older cards, so check your event's format and the current Block rules rather than treating “black” as a legality shortcut.

The price lesson is different from Blackbeard. Yamato is cheap enough that one $8 Event does not break the plan, but the list still needs its specific Land of Wano sequence. If you replace Ground Death, Momonosuke, or the Yamato Characters, test whether the trash-to-Rush timing still works before you call the substitute a saving.

The same price discipline applies when you compare a different color shell. OP17-058OP17-058Shop on TCGplayer Kaido is inexpensive as a Leader in the pool, but the full purple list still needs its own card-by-card check.

The official OP17-058 Kaido Leader is a useful reminder that a low-cost Leader does not automatically make an entire deck cheap. Price the full list, not only the card in the hero image.
