Boa Hancock

Blue Character

4 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)

The Seven Warlords of the Sea / Kuja Pirates

[Blocker] 
[On Play] Look at 3 cards from top of your deck and place them on the top or bottom of your deck in any order. Then, give up to 1 of your {The Seven Warlords of the Sea} type Leader or Characters up to 1 rested DON!! card.

Looks like I'll be needing all of these starter decks as I'm playing Whitebeard, FILM and hoping to build Seven Warlord deck from OP07 set. Poor wallet, why did Bandai decided to release all of them at the same time? Hopefully they will print enough, because these starter decks can be gone in one go. Anyway lets look at these cards, Atmos basically protects you from taking your own damage so you could survive longer instead of using counters to protect your Leader. I really like Ace's effect, too bad it needs Whitebeard Pirates Leader for the Rush ability otherwise I would start combining with ST13 kid Ace's effect to play 5 drop Ace for free. But at least Ace could survive 1 of the attack, might be useful if you need a Character on the field.

Moving onto the FILM side, Gordon make uses of the music cards. I wonder if we get even more music for the deck, because I'm sure Uta sang more than just 3 songs in the OP movie. I'm pretty much replacing EB01 Blueno with Gordon if we got more music cards. Shanks is a 9 drop 11k beat stick, and we can KO any rested Characters with this effect. I am deciding whether to run this in FILM build or not, because 9 drop with 11k beat stick is very strong.

The Seven Warlord starter deck mainly kept a similar style for the current OP07 support. I will be using this in OP01 Doffy anyway because they are 4 drop Seven Warlord with the ability to check the top cards. They will make Doffy really strong. Unfortunately Hancock Leader is a totally different build, so we want need to focus on that.
