When they are tournament legal

Bandai's tournament rules (latest version dated 17 October 2025) split events into three tiers:

Using the English dates, EB-05 is legal at Store Championships, Treasure Cups and regionals from 6 November 2026, and OP-18 from 27 November. Bandai counts the seven days from the release in your region, so confirm the date with your local store or in the official Bandai TCG+ app. Both sets are block 5, so they will stay in Standard for several seasons. It is all explained in the One Piece TCG Standard format, and the banned cards are in One Piece TCG banned cards.

What each set is for: playing or collecting

EB-05, mainly for collectors

EB-05 brings just one new Leader and lots of reprints with special artwork. Its appeal lies in the SPs, the Yabuki Nami, the manga Shirahoshi and the parallel Leaders. If you play, you will probably only want a handful of cards, and buying them as singles will work out cheaper than opening boxes.

OP-18, for playing and collecting

OP-18 is a main set: more cards, six new Leaders and cards that could shift the meta. If you play Standard, this is the set that will affect you most. For collectors, the Amano parallels and the anniversary Super Parallels are the big draw. To see how the new Leaders might fit in, read the meta coming with OP-18 and EB-05.

Japanese or English

Official tournaments in Europe are played with English cards, and French cards are also accepted; Japanese cards are not allowed. Japanese cards come out earlier and in 6-card packs, and tend to appeal more to collectors.

Try the new Leaders before you buy

Before you spend on a box or on the pieces for a new deck, try the Leaders in ARENA, our free One Piece TCG simulator, as soon as their cards are available in the simulator. You can play against the AI, meet a friend in a private room or climb the ranked ladder, and load meta decklists in one tap to test them against your deck.

Plan your next deck

Before the new cards hit the table, check the full EB-05 card list and see which decks are on top right now in the best One Piece TCG decks. If you are only after a few cards for a deck, singles are almost always cheaper than chasing them in packs.

The information in this guide may change as Bandai publishes the full lists. Always check Bandai's official page for each product.
