Queen is back again with 1 new card that would work really well with Queen ability. But like last time, the deck is pretty much very straight forward as our main aim is to stall until we can spam Queen's effect and get some cards into our Life area making the game last as long as possible. It is still a very defensive deck as this is what this deck style is mainly.
Arranging Top Cards
The first main priority of the deck is being able to arrange our top cards so we could hit trigger effects via Queen's effect in the Life area rather than random cards, and funny enough all of these cards are Blockers. OP01 Doffy and OP05 X Drake have the exact same effect. The effects works on play, look at the top 5 cards of your deck and place them on top or bottom of your deck in any order.
We do have a way to put cards from our hand to the top of the deck thanks to OP07 Ace's effect. The effect is, draw 2 cards and place 2 cards at the top or bottom of your deck in any order, meaning that if we got any trigger cards in our hand, we can put them back on top of deck instead, then use Queen's effect to put those cards into the Life area.
Lastly, we have Duval, and Duval is the same as Doffy and X Drake's effect, except we look at less cards. On play, look at the top 3 cards of your deck and place them on top or bottom of your deck in any order. This way, the chances of checking your top cards will be increased as well as providing the defences to stop your opponent's attacks.
The Big Drops
To make Queen's effect works, we need these cards in our deck and these cards will be enough, but you can add more if you feel like you are not seeing them. OP03 Katakuri works on play. place one 8 cost or less Character to the top or bottom of the owner's Life face up. This is up to you, you can either get rid off your opponent's Characters, or make yourself gain a Life so you can survive more attacks.
OP04 Yamato works amazingly well with Queen's effect. The effect works on play, KO 1 of your opponent's Characters with cost equal or less the the total cards in both player's Life area. Then, add the top card of your deck to top of your Life. What I like about Yamato is that we won't be doing any attacking to your opponent's Leader, so they will have the maximum Life they can, plus if we have 0 Life, we can play Yamato to gain a Life, then use Queen's effect so we could gain 2 Life cards in 1 turn.
Lastly, I am running OP06 Sanji. Sanji help us play Characters for free especially when we can play Katakuri and Yamato with this effect. The effect works on play, reveal the top card of your deck, play one 9 cost or less Character other than Sanji. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. We do have the Blockers who can arrange your top cards, so seeing the Characters you need with Sanji's effect will not be difficult.
Removals
Now we have the removals, well if we include the big drops, we do have plenty of cards to remove your opponent's Characters which is what we need. However, 1 of these card is a different type of removal. OP06 Pudding works on play, your opponent returns all cards from their hand to their deck and shuffle their deck. Then, your opponent draws 5 cards. Pudding will be really helpful as we won't be attacking your opponent's Leader, so they will not need to use much counters from their hand, giving them a bigger hand size than normal.
Red Roc is an Event that lets you remove any Characters you want which is very useful against big drop Characters who can put a threat on the board. The main effect is place 1 Character to the bottom of the owner's deck. Not bad for a 6 drop, especially we need to stall as long as possible to get the big drops to the field. The trigger effect is place one 4 cost or less Character to the bottom of the owner's deck. This is up to you, but using this can reduce your opponent's board presence unless you can't target any of those Characters.
Gravity Blade is more against decks who can go wide very easily. The main effect is place up to two 6 cost or less Characters to the bottom of the owner's deck. The only downside is that we can only choose 6 cost or less Characters, however, many decks will be running a lot of 6 cost or less Characters, so you will rarely have any problems not using this card. The trigger effect is place one 5 cost or less Character to the bottom of the owner's deck. Just like Red Roc, it really depends on the situation if you need to use this, it would be good to reduce the board and you won't need to use 7 DONs, but sometimes, the main effect will be just as worth it as the trigger effect.
Trigger Characters
The Characters that are mainly in the build for their trigger effects except OP04 Sanji who can be hard play for the Blocker ability if you need to. OP04 Bege's trigger effect is 1 of your opponent's Leader or Characters cannot attack during this turn. This is very good to have to slow your opponent's attacks down and set up the field.
OP04 Sanji's trigger effect is you may trash 1 card from your hand to play this card. We do need low hand size in order for Queen's Leader to work and sometimes, when you have too much non counter cards in hand, it will makes your hand looks big as we can't use those cards until we have the DONs.
OP06 Onami is mainly for the trigger effect, I honestly don't care about the main effect for this card. The main effect works on play, 1 of your Leader or Characters gains Banish. Banish is good, but we won't be attacking until we've got the right set up. The trigger effect is KO 1 of your opponent's 5 cost or less Characters. This will increase our chances of reducing our opponent's field so they won't be able to attack as much as they can.
The Life
Now we have the cards who focus on the Life area, although one of them can be used as a counter. OP06 Hiyori works on play, you may add 1 card from top or bottom of your Life to your hand. Add 1 card from your hand to the top of the Life area. This way we can set up for any Trigger cards we want to trigger to stop your opponent's attacks.
Who Should Disappear is a card that is useful in hand or in your Life area. Either way this card can play a key role for the deck. The counter effect is you may trash 1 card from your hand, 1 of your Leader or Character gains 3k power this turn. This is really useful as we have plenty of non counter cards, so playing this will enable us to have low hand size for Queen's effect. The trigger effect is if your Life is 0, you may add the top card of your deck to top of your Life. Then, trash 1 card from your hand. This is also important as it can make Queen survive even longer especially when we can constantly check the top cards to see what we can add to the Life area.

Explanation
The deck is the same as we are playing ultra defensive with this deck. We want to stall as long as possible so we could get the big drops on the field and able to trigger Queen's effect, so we could constantly gain Life cards. There are plenty of removals to answer your opponent's board especially when most of them are protected by KO effects but not returning effects. You also want to get a low hand size or else, it will be very difficult to trigger Queen's effect even if you got a big drop on the field.
