Even though the decks aren’t meta, there are plenty of cards included that see tons of competitive play, like Mr.2, making the set quite valuable for players and collectors alike. Just like every One Piece set, there is a slight chance of finding a manga rare, so be on the lookout for the coveted card. If you’re a Chopper fan, you will be in for a treat.

10 Kyros (Alternate Art) - $25.52

He Fights For His Family!

Just like his daughter Rebecca from OP-04, Kyros’ alternate art includes his family in the background, showing whom he fights for. As one of the three leaders introduced in EB-01 Memorial Collection, this Kyros is one of the most beautiful-looking cards in the set.

If you are a fan of the Dressrosa arc, then you’ll want to pick up this Kyros while it is cheap. As soon as they release more Dressrosa support cards, this leader is bound to skyrocket.

9 Kouzuki Hiyori (Alternate Art) - $26.11

Keep Up The Value In Your Wano Deck

Players and fans of One Piece thoroughly enjoyed the Wano arc, so it’s no surprise that the alternate art for this Hiyori card is pricey. Part of the Kouzuki Clan, this Hiyori is searchable by all of the Wano support from previous sets and lets you draw a card, perfect for EB-01 Kouzuki Oden.

EB-01 Oden wants to have five-cost characters in play, so this Hiyori card can easily help you achieve that a turn earlier if you’re going second.

8 Shirahoshi (Alternate Art) - $26.91

A Great Blocker For Yellow Decks

Shirahoshi will always be a fan favorite character, meaning her alternate art cards will remain expensive. The same applies to its EB-01 version. Not only is this card super cute, but it’s an essential and generic yellow blocker that can heal any deck that can play it.

Since small blocker removal runs rampant in the format, this Shirahoshi card is an excellent way to protect your characters while forcing your opponent to heal your life cards in return of the mighty ancient weapon.

7 Tony Tony.Chopper (Alternate Art) - $31.13

A Cute Crayon Art Style

One Piece Card Game is known for its amazing alternate art, but they really stepped it up with this Chopper card. Players and collectors alike already think Chopper is adorable, but drawing him with a crayon-like art style? This card needs to be in your collection as soon as possible.

Not only is the art style cute, but this Chopper card is quite good in any red deck that benefits from reducing the power of your opponent’s characters.

6 Mr.2.Bon.Kurei(Bentham) - $40.70

The Best Boy Is Here

As the only Secret Rare found in EB-01, Mr.2 was bound to be quite expensive. Not only is the card amazing in just about any purple deck that you slot it in, but it is a crucial part in the format’s best deck, Red Purple Trafalgar Law.

Players will be clamoring at their local game stores looking to buy up their playsets of Bon Clay, to make sure they can place at the top of the standings. This card will stay expensive for quite a while, so grab it while you can.

5 Kouzuki Oden (Alternate Art) - 46.06

Oden Wouldn't Be Oden If It Wasn't Boiled

Oden is, hands down, the best-looking alternate art leader in the set. Backed by his retainers, the Azakaya Nine, the art on this card is outstanding. Not only is the art beautiful, but the leader effect is nothing to scoff at.

With a myriad of new Wano support introduced in EB-01, this leader is sure to make a splash, so make sure you grab your leader and a couple of plastic snap cases to protect him while you’re at it.

4 Charlotte Flampe (Alternate Art) - $51.31

An Excellent Counter And Draw Engine

If you’re coming from Pokemon TCG, and are looking for similar art in the One Piece Card Game, then Charlotte Flampe is the card for you. The art is very reminiscent of alternate art Trainer cards from that game.

This Flampe is sure to see play for a while, as yellow decks have been consistently at the top of the metagame since their inception, so buying a couple of these might be worth your time.

3 Kid & Killer (Alternate Art) - $52.78

Rush Down Your Opponent With Huge Attacks

This alternate art is quite simple, but that’s where it truly shines. As the first dual attribute character card, Kid & Killer shows the captain of the Kid Pirates, Eustass Kid, with his right hand man, Killer, beside him. And a secret third member standing off to the side. They should’ve named the card Kid & Killer & Heat.

The card is one of the biggest pieces in the best deck in the format and will stay pricey for a while, so don’t wait up on purchasing it. Once tournament results stay trickling in, the price is sure to shoot up.

2 Mr.2.Bon.Kurei(Bentham) (Alternate Art) - $143.65

Canon-accurate Alternate Art

One Piece Card Game is really good about staying true to the One Piece canon, and it's no different when it comes to alternate art cards. This Mr. 2 card is a reference to his appearance in Impel Down, as he tries to fool Hanyabal by impersonating Nami.

Usually cards like these will have art drawn in a different art style, but here, they opted in just showing Bon Clay’s devil fruit in action. Not only is it a great alternate art card, but it is also technically a Nami card, putting collectors of the Straw Hat navigator in quite the pickle.

1 Tony Tony.Chopper (Alternate Art) (Manga) - $627.57

The Cutest Little Guy

It wouldn’t be a One Piece set without a manga rare. This time, the resident doctor of the Straw Hats, Tony Tony Chopper, received the manga treatment. Since he is one of the fan-favorite characters, his manga rare is sure to be a chase card for a ton of people, but as of release, the card was moderately priced, making it one of the cheapest manga rares to grab.

Manga rare cards are always a great buy since collectors will always be on the lookout, but you’ll get even more bragging rights if you pull it from a pack.
