Buggy Deck Guide: Blue Cross Guild in One Piece TCG (OP17 Meta)
2026-11-01 · data write-up
Numbers as of 2026-11-01: written before snapshots were stored, so its window and n are not recorded. The live metagame is since the 2026-10-12 banlist took effect (2026-10-12 to 2026-11-04), n=842 players in 38 events, and may differ from the figures below.
Overview
Buggy (OP09-042) is a Blue leader from the Cross Guild. In the current OP17 post-banlist meta (23 events, 514 registered players since the October 12, 2026 banlist), Buggy sits at 4.5% meta share with a 54.2% non-mirror win rate (58 wins, 49 losses across 23 players). Only Rocks.D.Xebec (55.6%) and Enel (55.2%) have higher win rates — and Buggy beats Enel at 89%.
The deck's ceiling comes from its matchup-specific dominance: Buggy goes 89% against Enel (8-1 in 9 matches) and crushes OP17-079 Monkey.D.Luffy, one of the most popular budget alternatives in the format. That kind of target-specific edge makes Buggy a strong pick for players who expect a field heavy with Enel and mid-range decks.
How Buggy wins
Buggy (OP09-042) is a Blue leader with 5 DON!! cost and 5000 attack. His ability reads: when you play a Cross Guild character, you may rest 1 DON!! to give that character +1000 power. This stacks with attach-DON!! giving all Cross Guild attackers reliable reach.
The deck wins by flooding the board with cheap, well-statted Cross Guild characters from the ST25 starter (Alvida, Cabaji, Mohji) and protecting them with Cross Guild events (Mr.3, Cross Guild). The key threat is OP09-051 Buggy — a 5-cost 7000-power blocker that can be played at a discount, creating defensive walls the opponent must answer.
Against Enel, the deck's low-cost curve bypasses the life-zero clock entirely: you apply pressure before Enel's life manipulation becomes relevant, and your blockers absorb the late-game attacks Enel relies on to close games.

Matchup context
Buggy's key edges in the current OP17 meta:
- vs Enel (OP05-098): 89% win rate (8-1, 9 matches). Buggy's low-curve pressure hits before Enel's life manipulation matters. This is Enel's second-worst recorded matchup in the window.
- vs Monkey.D.Luffy (OP17-079): 100% win rate (6-0, 6 matches). The OP17 Luffy mid-range strategy cannot match Buggy's tempo from the ST25 core.
- Overall 54.2% win rate — only Xebec (55.6%) and Enel (55.2%) are higher among leaders with 20+ players.
See the metagame overview for full standings. The main matchup to respect: Rocks.D.Xebec, whose sheer play rate means you will face it in the top cut of most events.
Is Buggy worth building?
The ST25 starter deck is the cheapest competitive starting point in the format. The eight core cards (Alvida, Cabaji, Mohji, ST25-004 Buggy, Mohji, OP09-048 Mihawk, Mr.3, Cross Guild, OP09-051 Buggy) total under $10 at market. The only notable spend is ST25-003 Crocodile & Mihawk at $4.62 — still budget by competitive standards.
For players targeting Enel-heavy fields or expecting OP17-079 Luffy at local events, Buggy offers a 54.2% overall win rate and measurable target-specific upside at very low entry cost.
