Out of the 3 Leaders from EB01 set, I actually like Oden the most because of the way he make use of non Counters Wano Characters, plus the constant power boost we can gain from the effect, so your opponents will need plenty of power to make their Characters hit above the magic number, or else we can use less counters from our hand. I do know in OP07 set we do have 1 more card we want to add for Oden, the OP07 Otama who is a searcher.
The Wano 5 Cost or More
We definitely need these cards to trigger Oden's Leader effect, we don't need 8 drop Oden in play, but we need 5 cost to work. EB01 Izo have 2 effects, the first effect works on play, give 1 of your rested DON to 1 of your Leader/Characters. The second effect works during your opponent's attacks. You may trash 1 card from your hand, if your Leader is Wano or Whitebeard Pirates type, reduce 1 of your opponent's Leader/Characters by 2k this turn. 2k is definitely helpful as this can at least slow down one of your opponent's attacks.
EB01 Yamato only has 1 effect that works activate main. Once per turn, give 1 your rested DON to your Leader/Characters. This is better than EB01 Izo's on play effect as this can save us the need to have untap DON to use for the Leader Oden. Well it's only 1, but sometimes that extra 1 DON can make a difference in playing a Character and not play a Character.
OP01 Denjiro works when attacking, but you will need a DON on this card to work. If your Leader is Oden, untap 2 DONs. This is pretty good as it will allow us to expand some plays, plus it is not hard to give Denjiro a DON as we've got Yamato and Izo who can make use of rested DONs.
Honestly, if 8 drop Oden didn't have Wano, I would have use something else instead. Oden comes with 2 effects, the first effect is an activate main effect, by paying 3 DONs, untap this Character. We have OP06 Zoro who could also do the same effect but only 2 DONs needed whilst this cost you 3 DONs. However, we do have Denjiro who can untap your DONs, so you may have DONs to spare to use this effect. The second effect works on KO, play one 3 cost green Wano type Character from your deck. Then, shuffle your deck. One of very few cards where we can play stuff from decks, however it is very specific as we are only limited to 3 drop Wano green Characters.
Resting
We've only got 2 Characters that are able to rest your opponent's Characters even though we are running green. OP01 Izo works on play, rest 1 of your opponent's 4 cost or less Characters. This effect actually works very well with 8 drop Oden as we could play Izo on your opponent's turn and rest their Characters to stop one of the attacks.
Hody have Rush with an on play effect, rest up to a total of 2 of your opponent's Characters or DONs. Then, add 1 card from the top of your Life to your hand. The Life requirement is the only part that hurts you, but the rest is actually very strong. Rush with resting effect especially without cost requirements, we could literally mess up your opponent's field and ruins their plays that they have set up.
Rush
We also got 2 more cards that have Rush aside from Hody. OP01 Zoro only have the Rush keyword and nothing else. However, you can run Kid & Killer from EB01 set, but personally I want a 3 drop Character instead of 4 drop as you never know, that you might not have enough DONs to play 4 drop Characters, but have enough for 3 drop.
ST01 Luffy is another Rush Character and because we are using Red, I might as well run Luffy in the build. We've got a when attacking effect, but you will need to give him 2 DONs to work. Your opponent cannot active Blocker during this battle. This is still good as we can bypass some of your opponent's Blockers and make them use counters instead to stop Luffy attack.
Blockers
We've only got 2 Blockers in the build as we mainly focused on the attacking side. OP02 Nekomamushi is just a 3 drop Blocker which we can play from deck using 8 drop Oden's effect. We also don't need to worry about not having a Counter thanks to Oden's Leader effect.
OP05 Rosinante (Corazon) is another Blocker with an effect that works on your opponent's turn. If your rested Character would be KO'd, you may trash this Character instead. Obviously, this effect will mainly target KO effects, because when your opponent's attacks, we can just use the Blocker skill to do so, no point in using the effect. This effect is especially useful in this build as we need certain Characters in play to trigger Oden's Leader effect.
Wano Supports
I still called these cards Wano Country as it always have been for the translation, so that got in my head before Land of Wano. Anyway we move on to another EB01 card Hiyori. Hiyori's effect is an activate main, you may trash this Character to play one 5 cost or less Wano Character other than Hiyori from your hand, then draw 1 card. Obviously, we want to use Hiyori's effect on the 5 drop Wano Characters we want to play so it cost your 1 less DON, plus the extra draw power.
OP01 Otama is just in the build because of being a Wano Character. The effect works on play, reduce 1 of your opponent's Characters by 2k this turn. We don't have any cards in this build who remove certain power, but we can make those Characters more hittable with your Characters. Plus if you don't need to use Otama, her 2k Counter will come in handy.
OP01 Momo is a Wano searcher, but not any standard searchers we've seen out there, as the effect is an Activate main effect. You pay 1 DON and resting this Character, look at the top 5 cards of your deck, reveal 1 Wano card and add it to your hand. The best thing about this search effect is that we can search for any cards including Momo himself. But the downside is that we need to rest this card to work, and being a 0 power Character, we really don't want to waste Counters/Blockers just for the search effect unless you have to.
Ryuma is a removal and as you see, the build have lack of removal cards since the Wano cards are mainly rest effects which is what I don't like. I guess you could add some removal cards from the red side. The effect works on play/on KO, KO 1 of your opponent's 4 cost or less Characters. We've only got 2 cards who can rest your opponent's Characters, but they will be good enough for the deck.

Explanation
The one main card you want to see is EB01 Hiyori, if you don't see her, then you will need to rely on OP01 Momo to search for her out from the deck. Hiyori is very important as she let us play the 5 cost Wano Characters for 4, so we could that 1 extra DON to use for Oden's Leader and gain that power during your opponent's turn. You don't have a lot of high cost Wano Characters, but most of them are at max copies so we could increase the chance of drawing them.
One of the card you can remove is Rush Zoro, I've only added Zoro to the deck for more quick attack, but the deck lacks removals, and Zoro could be replace with a remove card like Jet Pistol, so we could remove some of your opponent's Characters instead of attacking them.
