Nico Robin EB05-010 gives Green/Yellow a new Wisdom deck in One Piece Card Game EB-05. Robin builds Wisdom Characters, attacks with them more than once, and can recover Life when qualifying Characters are K.O.'d.


There is no tournament-proven best EB-05 Nico Robin deck yet, so this is an early Thornberry Collectibles build based on simulator testing. EB-05 releases in English on October 30, 2026, so some ratios will likely change once tournament results start coming in.

What Is the Best Early One Piece TCG EB-05 Nico Robin Decklist?



Our best EB-05 Nico Robin Decklist is a Green/Yellow Wisdom deck built around EB05-016 Nico Robin, EB05-055 Nami, searchers and card-draw tools.


The goal is to establish 6000-power Wisdom Characters, attack with them, restand one with Robin for another swing, and make the opponent think twice about K.O.'ing your board because Robin can turn that removal into another Life.


EB-05 Nico Robin Deck List


This version prioritizes the Wisdom engine, card advantage and 6000-power attacks. The remaining slots support Robin's board or help close the game.



How Does Nico Robin EB05-010 Work?


Nico Robin EB05-010 is a Green/Yellow Leader with 5000 power and 4 Life. Once per turn, when one of your non-Blocker Wisdom Characters is K.O.'d, Robin can add the top card of your deck to your Life. During your Main Phase, she can also set one Wisdom Character with 6000 power or less as active once per turn.


That second ability makes the deck move. A 6000-power Wisdom Character can attack, stand back up with Robin and attack again. If you plan to add DON!!, do it after using Robin's ability because attached DON!! counts toward the 6000-power limit.


The plan is simple: build a Wisdom board, attack, restand one of your best attackers and make your opponent decide how badly they want to remove it.



EB05-016 Nico Robin and EB05-055 Nami Turn the Deck On


EB05-016 Nico Robin is the centerpiece of the Character package. The 6000-power Wisdom Character can play another Wisdom Character costing 5 or less from your hand, helping build the board while adding another attacker.



EB05-055 Nami can add the top card of your deck to your Life when your Leader has Wisdom. Between Nami and the Leader effect, Robin can recover Life without giving up pressure.


Both also sit at the 6000-power mark Robin can restand.


The Wisdom Support Keeps the Deck Moving


Robin needs more than two strong Wisdom Characters. Atlas helps find Wisdom cards, while Nico Olvia, Charlotte Pudding and You Can Be My Samurai!! keep cards flowing. Gloriosa provides another 6000-power Wisdom body and defensive option, while Megalo and Nojiko add utility and counter value.


The ratios matter. Searchers need enough worthwhile targets, so this build keeps the Wisdom package dense instead of adding too many unrelated staples.



Robin Turns 6000-Power Characters Into Repeat Attackers


Robin does not need one giant finisher to create pressure. Her Leader ability makes an ordinary 6000-power Wisdom Character dangerous because it can attack twice.


Once several bodies are established, those repeat attacks force cards from the opponent's hand while leaving the threat of Life recovery if they answer the board. That is the tension Robin wants to create.



The Flex Slots We're Testing


The Wisdom core looks fairly clear. The final few slots do not.


Trafalgar Law, Marshall.D.Teach, Borsalino and Shanks can give the deck more power outside the Wisdom engine. Our early list uses a mix of those cards, but this is the area most likely to change as players get more games with Robin and tournament lists begin appearing.



Is EB-05 Nico Robin Good?


Early signs are promising, but it is too soon to call Robin a top-tier deck. The Leader has a clear game plan, repeatable pressure, Life recovery and enough card advantage to make Wisdom feel like a real strategy.


There are still questions. Repeated 6000-power attacks become less threatening against Leaders that increase their base power, and the Wisdom card pool is not as deep as older archetypes.


For now, Robin looks like one of EB-05's most interesting decks to test. If the Wisdom core holds up in tournament play, the final list may be only a few cards away from what players are testing now.
