One Piece TCG Ban List April 2026: Pudding Banned

The One Piece TCG got its most disruptive competitive update ever on 1 April 2026. One card banned. Six cards unbanned. And the format's first-ever block rotation removing OP01 through OP04 from Standard entirely. All at once. If your deck ran anything from the early sets or leaned on Charlotte Pudding, you need to rebuild before your next tournament.

Quick Insights

• Banned: Charlotte Pudding (OP06-047), effective 1 April 2026, confirmed by Bandai on their official One Piece Card Game site.
• Unbanned: Six cards returned to legal status: Jinbe (OP07-045), Kingdom Come (EB01-059), Great Eruption (ST06-015), Moby Dick (OP02-024), Enies Lobby (OP03-098), and Ice Age (OP02-117).
• Rotation: Block 1 (OP01–OP04) rotated out of Standard on 1 April 2026, the first block rotation in the game's history.
• Key interaction: Jinbe (OP07) and Kingdom Come (EB01) are both outside the rotation range and immediately Standard-legal post-unban.
• New set: OP15 Extra Booster 'Adventure on Kami's Island' released 3 April 2026, two days into the new format.

Charlotte Pudding Is Gone

Charlotte Pudding (OP06-047) is banned. Full stop. She was the engine that made black-splash decks so punishing: a hand-reset tool that could disrupt your opponent's resources repeatedly, with enough consistency to warp games around her presence. Bandai had clearly been watching her for a while.

If you built around her, those copies are now tournament paperweights. Expect her Cardmarket UK price to drop sharply from pre-ban levels. Check listings now if you want to move them before the market fully adjusts. That window is closing.

What dies with her: the entire black-splash disruption package that relied on her as the top-end engine. Black as a splash colour does not disappear overnight, but the specific gameplan of forcing hand resets through Pudding is gone. Decklists that leaned heavily on her need a new identity.

Six Cards Unbanned: What Each One Does

This is where most coverage has been thin. Everyone lists the names. Fewer people explain what comes back with them.

Jinbe (OP07-045)

The most consequential unban. Jinbe provides consistent search and board presence, and because he sits in OP07 (Block 2), he survives the rotation completely. He was restricted due to how efficiently he enabled certain combo lines. Freed from restriction, he slides straight into the post-rotation Standard pool. Watch his Cardmarket price: it was likely already moving upward from the moment the announcement landed.

Kingdom Come (EB01-059)

Kingdom Come is from EB01, an Extra Booster outside the OP01–OP04 rotation window, so it is immediately legal. It is a high-value event card with strong board-clearing potential. Its restriction had kept it out of most serious builds. The unban matters because it gives certain archetypes a genuine sweeper option again.

Ice Age (OP02-117)

This one surprised a lot of people. Community reaction flagged genuine shock at Ice Age's return alongside the other unbannings. Ice Age is a Blue counter and removal tool, and its restriction had been in place long enough that many players built around its absence. It does come from OP02, which rotated out. So it is unbanned, but it is also no longer Standard-legal. It matters for Unlimited format play, not for your Standard rebuild. Worth knowing before you get excited and go hunting for copies.

Moby Dick (OP02-024)

Same situation as Ice Age. Moby Dick is from OP02, inside the Block 1 rotation. Unbanned, but now illegal in Standard. It is a significant ship card for Whitebeard-adjacent builds in Unlimited, but do not expect it to reshape the Standard meta.

Enies Lobby (OP03-098)

OP03, so also rotated. Enies Lobby was a stage card that supported specific crew-based strategies. Again, the unban matters most for Unlimited. Standard players should not count on it.

Great Eruption (ST06-015)

ST06 is a Starter Deck set, and the rotation announcement covers OP01 through OP04. Starter Deck sets have separate legality rules, so Great Eruption's Standard status warrants a direct check of the official Bandai rules page before assuming it is or is not legal. If it clears that check, it is a Fire Fist-style board wipe with niche combo applications. Worth monitoring.

The Block Rotation: What It Actually Means

This is the part no single article has properly explained alongside the ban list, so here it is clearly.

Block 1 is OP01, OP02, OP03, and OP04. All of those sets rotated out of Standard on 1 April 2026. This is the first rotation the One Piece TCG has ever had. If a card's set code starts with OP01 through OP04, it is not Standard-legal anymore, regardless of ban status.

This is why the Ice Age and Moby Dick unbannings are partially confusing. Bandai unbanned them, which removes the restriction from Unlimited. But the rotation removes them from Standard. They are legal to run in your Unlimited deck; they cannot go in your Standard deck.

Kingdom Come (EB01) and Jinbe (OP07) do not have this problem. Both sit outside the rotation window. Both are fully Standard-legal now. That distinction is the most important thing to understand about this update.

Who Benefits, Who Suffers

Black-splash disruption decks take the hardest hit. Pudding gone, and the early-set support that propped up some of those builds is also rotated out. If your deck was heavy on OP01–OP04 staples, the rotation alone would have hurt you even without the ban.

Doflamingo strategies look interesting post-rotation. Jinbe's full return opens up lines that were restricted before, and Doflamingo builds have enough Block 2 and beyond support to function in the new Standard pool. The tools are there. Expect the community to spend the next few weeks stress-testing it.

Kingdom Come returning gives control-oriented players a legitimate sweeper they could not access under restriction. That is a meaningful addition to the new format's toolkit.

OP15 Adventure on Kami's Island: Right Place, Right Time

The OP15 Extra Booster 'Adventure on Kami's Island' released on 3 April 2026, two days after the format overhaul went live. The timing is not a coincidence. Bandai regularly coordinates new product drops with format shifts to encourage fresh deckbuilding.

An Extra Booster dropping immediately into a reshuffled Standard environment means some of those cards could slot directly into the archetypes players are now scrambling to rebuild. If you were going to buy into OP15 Adventure on Kami's Island anyway, now is the time to understand what the format needs before you crack product.

What Does This Mean for You?

If you play Standard competitively: audit your decklist against the Block 1 rotation first, then account for the Pudding ban. Those are two separate problems. Solve the rotation before you worry about replacements for Pudding.

If you run Jinbe in any format: his price on Cardmarket UK has almost certainly moved since the announcement. If you need copies, check now rather than after the next major tournament confirms his playability.

If you have Charlotte Pudding copies: sell into any remaining demand. The ban is permanent until Bandai says otherwise. Her value as a competitive card is gone.

If you play Unlimited: Ice Age, Moby Dick, and Enies Lobby coming off restriction is genuinely useful. Unlimited just got a few more tools.

The format is unsettled. The best decks from last month are not the best decks today. That is actually a good place to enter or re-enter the game, before the meta calcifies around a new dominant strategy.
