Red/Purple Luffy EB05 Decklist: The Robin Build, Priced Out

We counted every ST10-002-leader list from the nine [EB05]-tagged Standard events on Limitless Play with posted decklists, October 19 to November 4, 2026: 15 lists from 12 players out of 558 entrants. Smaller untagged events are not counted (see the last section). It went 43-32 against other leaders. The fall-off after the first week is the main thing to know before you build it.

The 50 cards of the 4th-place list

ricmasterflash finished 4th of 120 at ChinoizeCup #125 on October 20 with 6-1. It is one of three top-8 lists in the sample, and it is the cheapest of the three.

"Each" is the cheapest non-alternate-art printing's market price in the TCGCSV file of November 7 at 20:05 UTC.

Mamaragan, Zoro (EB04-007), Luffy (OP05-119), Bentham and Thousand Sunny are 19 cards and $302.24 of the $328.14 (92%). The other 31 cards are $25.90 combined. Robin is the opposite: the card that changed the deck costs $0.37, one of the cheapest in the list.

How the extra turn works with Robin

The Leader reads: once per turn in your Activate: Main, if you have 0 DON!! or 8 or more on your field, add 1 DON!! from your DON!! deck as active. The 10-cost Luffy puts you at 0 DON!! by paying DON!! -10, so the Leader can fire. Luffy's own Activate: Main (pay 1 DON!!, add 1 active) can then fire as well.

YouTuber Agre walks through the sequence in a video from October 14. After DON!! -10 you are at zero, the Leader adds one active, Luffy pays it and adds another, so you are at two. Play Robin with the opponent at 8 or more DON!!, and you draw 3, trash 2 and add 4 rested DON!!. You start the extra turn at eight, the Leader and Luffy add one each, and you are back at 10 with a 12000-power Luffy that can swing. ArtressTCG, in a video from October 29, says that before Robin you went to four DON!! on the turn after Luffy and "can't really play anything large."

Before Luffy, the DON!! curve is ordinary ramp: Yamato adds a rested DON!!, Bentham and Zoro-Juurou add an active one, and from 8 DON!! the Leader adds another. Agre calls Zoro-Juurou's ramp "often played when we're going first". We have no sample of games by turn order, so that is his read, not our count.

Who it beats

Chart: Shonen TCG. Source: Limitless Play standings and pairings, nine EB-05 events, October 19 to November 4, 2026.

Red/Purple Luffy went 43-32 against other leaders, 57%. The splits are lopsided. Against Blue Buggy it was 8-0, and against Blue Rocks 10-5 (10-3 in the first three events, 0-2 in the last three). It went 0-6 against Red/Green Luffy, 0-5 against Yellow Enel and 1-4 against Blue/Yellow Hancock. Red/Green Luffy is the deck the field moved to, 76 lists to this deck's 15; our EB-05 matchup chart has its full grid.

It also disappeared. Of 272 entrants in the first three events, 12 played it (4.4%). Of 150 in the next three, none did. Of 136 in the last three, 3 did (2.2%). Five of the nine events had no Red/Purple Luffy list at all.

What the other lists play

Eight cards are in all 15 lists at three or four copies: Yamato, Bentham, Zoro (EB04-007), Luffy (OP05-119), Gum-Gum Giant, Thousand Sunny, Uso-Hachi and Zoro-Juurou. Robin (EB05-033), Nami and Mamaragan are each in 14. The one list without EB-05 Robin is luzsnikov's 6-1, 5th place at ChinoizeCup #124 on October 19, which plays four Robin (OP09-071) instead.

The last few slots vary. Sanji is in 12 lists, averaging 2.9 copies when played. Gol.D.Roger (P-107) is in 9, averaging 2.3: those nine lists went 22-20 against other leaders, and the six lists without Roger went 21-12. The lists differ in other ways too, so that is a direction, not proof. Monkey D. Garp (OP13-016) is in 4 lists, and Jewelry Bonney (EB04-002) in 3. Agre named Garp, Sanji, the 7-cost Luffy and the 9-cost Luffy, among others, as cards he would consider after Robin, so the list is still moving.

What it costs

Chart: Shonen TCG. Source: TCGCSV (TCGplayer market prices), file of November 7, 2026, and Limitless Play decklists.

The 15 lists cost $268.04 to $372.27, with a median of $354.40. The three top-8 lists cost $354.26 (luzsnikov, 5th), $328.14 (ricmasterflash, 4th) and $354.40 (luzsnikov, 8th). The cheapest list in the sample, $268.04, went 1-2. The Leader is $16.44 on top. Yellow Enel beat this deck 5-0 in these events, and its two best lists cost $321 and $301.

What we'd do

We would not build Red/Purple Luffy this week unless your local is Rocks and Buggy. Red/Green Luffy is the second most played deck in these events, 76 lists behind only Rocks' 98, and it went 6-0 against this one. If you do build it, copy ricmasterflash's list: it costs the least of the three top-8 lists, and its Robin, Yamato, Bentham and Thousand Sunny package is in at least 14 of the 15 lists. Agre, in a video from October 14, said the deck was "genuinely very good at the moment." ArtressTCG, two weeks later, said: "This is not a deck that I think is going to be meta breaking, but I do think it is an incredibly fun deck." Our count fits the second one better: 57% overall, and no lists in five of nine events.

What we don't know

These are online best-of-one Swiss events, and 15 lists from 12 players is a small sample: the 0-5 against Enel is five games, the 8-0 against Buggy is eight. We cannot see turn order or mulligans. luzsnikov played three of the 15 lists, and Tommy N two, so a few players drive the results. Three lists are the same 50 cards (Tommy N, luzsnikov and Simpiii), and they went 2-3, 2-2 and 3-3. We have no paper results for this leader. The window is the nine events tagged [EB05]. Smaller untagged events and the EXTRA-format ChinoizeCups are not counted, and between them ChinoizeCup Extra #126 and #132, Aegean Pirate Cup #6 and a [GER] Dressrosa tournament on November 2 had 6 more Red/Purple Luffy lists. The two events on November 5 that we found had none. Prices change daily.

How we checked: decklists and pairings come from the Limitless Play API for nine events (Oct 19, 20, 22, 26, 27, 29 and Nov 2, 3, 4). Games count only when both leaders are known and differ and one player won. Card text comes from the Bandai English card list. Prices are TCGplayer market prices from the TCGCSV file of 2026-11-07T20:05:27+0000, read on November 8. For the set itself, see our EB-05 card list and EB-05 booster box price; Blue Rocks, the deck this one went 10-5 against, has a guide.
