EB05 Robin Decklist: Green Yellow Nico Robin, Two Builds

TL;DR: EB05-010EB05-010Shop on TCGplayer Nico Robin (Green/Yellow, 4 Life, 5000 power) adds a Life card when one of your Wisdom Characters without Blocker is K.O.'d, and once a turn sets a 6000-or-less Wisdom Character active. All 13 lists ran four OP17-109OP17-109Shop on TCGplayer Charlotte Pudding and four EB05-055EB05-055Shop on TCGplayer Nami. The two best finishes split on everything else. The Lilith build finds its key turn more often in our test games. Robin went 26-28-3 overall, and 10-18 against the four Leaders it met most.

The cards other than EB-05 come to $125.52 for willerd7's list. In both, three Borsalino are $88.62 of the bill. In ghiro's, two OP16-119OP16-119Shop on TCGplayer Marshall.D.Teach add another $48.54.

What the Leader does

The official text has two parts. "[Once Per Turn] When one of your Characters with the attribute and without [Blocker] is K.O.'d, add up to 1 card from the top of your deck to the top of your Life cards." Then: "[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] Set up to 1 of your Characters with the attribute and 6000 power or less as active."

So a Nami or EB05-052EB05-052Shop on TCGplayer Gloriosa can attack, stand back up and attack again, and when the opponent finally K.O.s one of your Wisdom bodies, you get the Life back. The catch sits in the wording. EB04-058EB04-058Shop on TCGplayer Borsalino has Blocker and isn't Wisdom, so it never feeds the Leader. Gloriosa's own protection trashes her instead of you taking damage, so she is trashed rather than K.O.'d and that doesn't count either. And the opponent decides what gets K.O.'d. u/Axelfiraga summed up the shape on r/OnePieceTCG: "She's basically a more aggressive boa with Shanks as an endgame instead of 9c boa."

The cards every list agrees on

The core four. EB05-016EB05-016Shop on TCGplayer the 6-cost Nico Robin plays a 5-cost-or-less Wisdom Character from your hand when she comes in on your turn. The usual target is Nami, a 5-cost 6000 whose On Play adds a Life card with a Wisdom Leader. That's two 6000 bodies and a Life card for six DON!!. Charlotte Pudding (3 cost) trashes a [Trigger] card from your hand to draw three. 39 of ghiro's 50 cards and 42 of willerd7's have a [Trigger], so Pudding rarely lacks something to trash. EB05-050EB05-050Shop on TCGplayer Atlas (1 cost) looks at four and takes a Wisdom card.

The defense. Borsalino is a 5-cost 6000 Blocker that adds a Life card when you're at 2 or fewer. Gloriosa is a 4-cost 6000 Wisdom body that can be trashed instead of you taking damage, and her [Trigger] draws two. EB04-018EB04-018Shop on TCGplayer Megalo rests itself to K.O. a rested 8000-or-less Character. Megalo is 4000 power and Wisdom, so the Leader can set it active again after it uses its effect.

The finishers and counters. OP17-022OP17-022Shop on TCGplayer Shanks costs 10, has Rush and rests every opposing Character. Teach (8 cost) looks at three and puts one onto your Life. OP12-112OP12-112Shop on TCGplayer Baby 5 is a 4-cost body with a +2000 counter whose [Trigger] draws two with a multicolored Leader. OP06-115OP06-115Shop on TCGplayer You're the One Who Should Disappear. is a 0-cost +3000 counter that costs a card from your hand.

Across all 13 lists, Pudding and Nami were four-ofs in every one, EB05-016 Robin averaged 3.69 copies, Atlas 3.83 in 12 lists, Borsalino 3.00 in 12, and Shanks 2.50 in 12. Gloriosa was in 11, Megalo in 10.

Where the two builds split

willerd7's build is the common one. Lilith is a second 1-cost searcher that takes any [Trigger] card other than Lilith, which includes both Robin and Nami. EB05-057EB05-057Shop on TCGplayer Nojiko gives a rested DON!! to a Wisdom card once a turn. OP14-108OP14-108Shop on TCGplayer Silvers Rayleigh K.O.s a 7000-base-or-less Character when the opponent is at 3 Life or fewer. OP14-118OP14-118Shop on TCGplayer You'll Frighten Me... ♡ keeps one of the opponent's active Characters from attacking when you're at 2 Life or fewer. Nine of the 13 lists ran Lilith, all at four. Eight lists ran four EB05-056EB05-056Shop on TCGplayer Nico Olvia, six of them alongside Lilith. Olvia is a 1-cost that trashes a [Trigger] card to draw two with a Robin Leader.

ghiro's build is the odd one out, and it placed best. It cuts Lilith and plays the Big Mom package: OP17-107OP17-107Shop on TCGplayer Charlotte Daifuku and OP17-102OP17-102Shop on TCGplayer Charlotte Oven (both 4000-power [Trigger] bodies), four OP17-114OP17-114Shop on TCGplayer Sweet 3 Generals and four OP17-112OP17-112Shop on TCGplayer Charlotte Linlin. Linlin's first line explains it: on your turn, every Character you control with a [Trigger] and 4000 base power becomes 8000. That answers the complaint in the top reply of r/OnePieceTCG's thread on the new Leader, where u/OhPooks wrote that Robin "gets ruined by any decks that can reasonably go above 7k base power", because her board is 6000s. Linlin turns Pudding, Daifuku, Oven and Sweet 3 Generals into 8000s on your turn. The cost: ghiro's list has 23 Wisdom Characters without Blocker, the fewest of the 13 lists (the others ran 25 to 38).

Before EB-05 came out, u/OnyxLeigion_ predicted this: "plays like double borsa or burning with big mom are stronger in this deck than others", because Robin wants to sit at 3 Life where the new 2-or-less triggers turn on.

The DON!! curve and the turn that matters

Going first you have 1, 3, 5 and 7 DON!! on turns 1 to 4. Going second it's 2, 4 and 6 on turns 1 to 3. Early turns are for Atlas, Lilith or Nojiko (1 or 2 cost) and Pudding (3), so you dig toward the turn the deck is built around: EB05-016 Robin into Nami, two 6000s and a Life card. That turn needs 6 DON!!, so it comes on turn 3 going second and turn 4 going first.

We ran both lists through 100,000 games per side. The question: on your first turn with 6 or more DON!!, are Robin and Nami both in your hand? The model spends spare DON!! on Pudding, Atlas, Lilith and Nico Olvia before that turn, sets 4 Life aside and mulligans a hand with no Robin, Atlas or Lilith.

willerd7's list, with Lilith's four extra searchers, has the full Robin-into-Nami turn 10 to 12 points more often. Going second with ghiro's list, you have it barely half the time. The model leaves out draws from Life [Trigger]s such as Gloriosa's and Baby 5's, so the real numbers are a little higher for both lists. When the turn misses, ghiro's list still has Linlin and Teach at the top. willerd7's has Shanks.

EB05 Robin matchups in the first EB-05 events

Every game the 13 lists played, by opposing Leader, from the pairings on Limitless Play. The five events ran October 19 to 22: [EB05] ChinoizeCup #124 (128 players) and #125 (120), [EGB + EB05] ChinoizeCup #126 (69), [EB05] Rumble league #14 (24) and a 6-player Versus Cup. All five were best-of-one on the simulator.

The common decks beat it. OP09-042OP09-042Shop on TCGplayer Buggy, ST30-001ST30-001Shop on TCGplayer Luffy & Ace, OP13-004OP13-004Shop on TCGplayer Sabo and OP17-039OP17-039Shop on TCGplayer Blue Rocks took 28 of Robin's 53 decided games and won 18. Rocks was 4-1. None of these are big samples, but all four point the same way.

Against everything else it's 15-10. That includes 2-0 against OP09-062OP09-062Shop on TCGplayer the Purple/Yellow Robin, which matters if you're headed to a store event that bans the four decks above. More on that below.

The official EB-05 Leader Battle video on the One Piece Card Game channel puts Green/Yellow Robin against Black Luffy from OP-17:

How to pilot it

1. Keep a searcher. A hand with Atlas, Lilith or EB05-016 Robin is a keep. Our model mulligans everything else, and that's the rule we'd use.
2. Save one Trigger card for Pudding. Pudding's draw three needs a [Trigger] card to trash. Don't pitch the last one to a counter if Pudding is in hand.
3. Use the Leader after combat. Attack with Nami or Gloriosa first, then set her active with the Leader so she can attack again.
4. Sit at 3 Life on purpose. Borsalino, Nami's [Trigger] and You'll Frighten Me... ♡ all care about 2 Life or fewer, and Nami and the Leader refill it.

Our take

We'd build willerd7's version. It finds Robin into Nami on curve more often, and it's $64 cheaper outside EB-05, mostly because it skips Teach. ghiro's Big Mom build is the one to try if your store is full of 7000-power boards. It placed higher, but that's one 24-player event.

Don't bring either into a room full of Buggy, Sabo, Luffy & Ace or Blue Rocks. A 10-18 record against those four is the honest read on the deck right now. Where it makes more sense is Heroines Battle Vol.2, the store event from November 6 where none of those four Leaders can enter. If you want the older Robin instead, our Purple/Yellow Nico Robin guide has that list. The EB-05 card list shows the rest of the set, including the other new Green/Yellow deck.

EB-05 cards become legal for most events from November 6, per the "Tournament Legal after 7 days" note on Bandai's EB-05 product page. The same page says they're legal from your region's pre-release date, so ask your store.
