Queen

Description

The Queen card, designated as ST04-005, is a distinctive character unit within the One Piece Card Game's Animal Kingdom Pirates [ST-04] expansion released in 2022. As a purple Strike attribute unit, this card serves as a critical defensive and resource-generating tool for players building decks around the Animal Kingdom Pirates theme. With a cost of 5, Queen demands strategic timing to maximize her impact on the field. One of the card's most valuable mechanics is its Blocker ability. This allows you to rest Queen after an opponent declares an attack, effectively redirecting that assault away from your other units or your DON!! Cards. This defensive utility makes her an essential anchor in mid-range strategies where protecting your board state is paramount. Once rested for this purpose, her On Play effect triggers when she is played from your hand. The On Play effect requires you to return DON!! Cards from your field to your DON!! Deck, a trade-off that strengthens your future turns by reshuffling your resources. In exchange, you draw two cards and trash one card from your hand. This ability provides significant card advantage, helping you recover from difficult board positions or find key pieces to continue your combo chains. For collectors of the One Piece Card Game, ST04-005 represents a key component for enthusiasts looking to complete the Animal Kingdom Pirates subset or build competitive decks centered on Queen's unique kit.
