Four Years of One Piece TCG — And OP-17 Is the Celebration
The One Piece Card Game is turning four, and Bandai is marking the occasion with one of the most anticipated sets in the game's history. OP-17: The World's Strongest Warriors arrives as the 4th Anniversary set, and it's bringing the Grand Line's most powerful figures front and centre — the Four Emperors, the island of Elbaf, and the kind of card power that reshapes the meta.
If you've been playing since OP-01 or just discovered the game, OP-17 is a landmark release you don't want to miss.
The Theme: Four Emperors & Elbaf
OP-17 draws its identity from two of the most exciting elements in the One Piece universe right now. The Four Emperors — the most powerful pirates on the seas — take centre stage, with new and upgraded cards for Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffy, and Kaido expected to define the set's top-rarity pulls and competitive impact.
Alongside them, the island of Elbaf makes its TCG debut. The land of the Giants has been one of the most anticipated story arcs in the One Piece manga, and its arrival in the card game brings a wave of new characters, new archetypes, and new strategic possibilities. Giant-type cards and Elbaf-faction support are set to open up entirely new deck-building directions.
What to Expect from OP-17 Booster Packs
Each OP-17 booster pack follows the standard One Piece TCG format — a mix of Commons, Uncommons, Rares, Super Rares, and the coveted Secret Rares that define the set's chase card hierarchy. As a 4th Anniversary set, OP-17 is expected to feature:
- Anniversary alternate art cards — Special treatments celebrating four years of the game, featuring iconic characters in commemorative artwork.
- Four Emperors Secret Rares — The headline chase cards of the set. Emperor-tier characters in Secret Rare form are always the most sought-after pulls, and OP-17's lineup is shaping up to be exceptional.
- Elbaf faction cards — New Leaders and key cards supporting Giant-type strategies, opening up fresh competitive archetypes.
- Leader upgrades — Anniversary sets traditionally bring powerful new versions of established Leaders, giving existing decks new directions to explore.
Why OP-17 Is a Must-Buy
Anniversary sets in the One Piece TCG carry extra weight — both in terms of card power and collector value. The 4th Anniversary is a milestone, and Bandai consistently delivers their most ambitious card designs for these releases. The combination of Four Emperors power cards and the long-awaited Elbaf content makes OP-17 one of the most compelling sets since the game launched.
For competitive players, the meta implications of new Emperor cards and Elbaf support are significant. For collectors, anniversary alternate arts and Secret Rares from a milestone set are strong long-term holds. For fans of the manga and anime, seeing Elbaf finally represented in card form is a moment worth celebrating.
