Monkey D. Luffy as a yellow Leader
The ST-29 Leader is Monkey D. Luffy in yellow, with 6 Life instead of the usual 5. His effect fires while attacking, but only once you are down to 2 Life cards or fewer: you draw a card and discard one.
That is the yellow bargain: the deck gets better as it gets closer to losing, and the extra starting Life gives you the room to reach that zone without falling out of the game.
The two Super Rares are Sanji and Roronoa Zoro, the latter carrying Rush: Character, which lets it attack an opposing Character on the turn it is played. One of the deck's Event cards grants Unblockable to Luffy, shutting off blocking for the turn.

How it plays
ST-29 is a late-game yellow deck. The opening turns are played on the back foot, letting Life come down on purpose, and the deck switches to offence once its conditional effects come online.
It runs against instinct: taking damage is part of the plan. Judged correctly, it turns games that look lost into wins.
Who it is for
ST-29 is playable out of the box and suits a beginner willing to be patient. It also introduces two modern keywords that show up across the wider format.
Established players pick it up for the Egghead cards and for the alternate-art Bonus Pack.
Tournament legality
ST-29 cards are legal in official tournaments seven days after the release date in your region, and playable from the pre-release date at participating local game stores.
Collecting, rarity and market
ST-29 cards carry the deck's own code (ST29-001, ST29-004, ST29-014 and so on). The most followed are the yellow Monkey D. Luffy Leader, the Sanji and Roronoa Zoro Super Rares, and the 14 alternate-art Bonus Pack designs.
The observed average price is displayed on each card page. Rarity, condition and demand stay the deciding factors for ST-29.
Other printings
ST-29 is also printed in French and Japanese. The French edition released on the same day, 16 January 2026.
