Top 10 Most Valuable One Piece Cards from A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11)

A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11) has been officially released in the last few weeks, we can start to look at what the most expensive cards in the set are! The dust has begun to settle around the set, we can really start to establish what the big hits in the set are and which of the Alternate Arts are duds. 

The Most Valuable Cards from A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11)

This set is extremely top-heavy, and you'll see why when we get there. It isn't often that the Manga Rare for the set isn't the most expensive card, so let's look at the most expensive cards from A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11)!

#10 Stussy (SP)

The first card that we're going to look at is one of five SP Rare cards in the set! Originally from 500 Years in the Future (OP-07), we have the CP0 double agent: Stussy!

This is just the first of the cards we're looking at, and we are starting with a banger! While Sutssy hasn't seen a ton of competitive play, she is a super popular character from the series. So it makes sense that the SP for her is going to be worth a nice little penny. At the time of publication, Stussy is sitting in the low $60s, so she won't pay off a box if you pull her, but she'll knock off a good chunk of the price right there!

#9 Gear Two (Alternate Art)

Just a few dollars more than Stussy is the Alternate Art Event Card: Gear Two!

I have words about our #9 card today. Mainly, I wish it weren't locked the way it is now. You have a Purple card that checks to see if your other color is Blue. That's just silly. Honestly, I wish it would ramp any Purple deck as long as your Leader is either Luffy or a Straw Hat. That'd be neat. But then again, I don't think Robin or Purple/Black Luffy needs more ramping.

Anyway! This card is up there not only because it showcases an awesome scene from the series, but also because of its playability! We have a card that has two powerful effects, one for ramping and one for defense. It only makes sense that this card is holding its value. 

#8 Monkey.D.Luffy (Alternate Art Leader)

Moving onto Blue/Purple Luffy — the Alternate Art Leader of Snakeman Luffy is next on the list.

The artwork on this card is nothing short of intense. You have Luffy in his Gear Four: Snakeman form, ready to strike. This card is here for various reasons, as it is a hard-to-get Luffy card. Snakeman is one of the more popular transformations that Luffy undergoes, especially during his fight with Charlotte Katakuri. It is also holding value as one of the strongest cards in the set for competitive play. 

#7 Nami (Alternate Art Leader)

Nami is one of the two Leader cards to appear on this list. This card is decent and features our lovely navigator in her outfit from the Whole Cake Island arc.

Alternate Art Leader cards are always some of the big chasers in any One Piece Card Game release. Everyone loves Alternate Art Leader cards because you only need to get one of each one for your decks! This Nami Leader has a ton of potential to see tournament play, especially since the current meta is starting to look very different than the Eastern A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11) format since we have the new starter decks to counter the Blue/Purple Monkey.D.Luffy deck.

#6 Shanks (SP)

The sixth most expensive card in A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11)! is the SP Shanks that originally came from Starter Deck 16: GREEN Uta (ST-16).

What's not to love about Shanks? I mean, I feel like almost every other copy of Shanks has an alternate art. The strongest Green Shanks card should also have access to a super premium alternate art as well! 

This card is popular in Green Bonney and Uta decks as a powerful late-game bomb. Being able to instantly remove any rested character is massive, along with the fact it's a nine-cost with 11,000 power? That's just the icing on a very delicious cake. The cake that you get to eat to celebrate pulling this Shanks.

#5 Shirahoshi (SP)

We're going to have a total of four SP cards in a row now, with Shanks being the first one and Shirahoshi originally from Extra Booster: Memorial Collection being the second. We're now in the top cards from A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11), and the cards are starting to push triple digits. 

This Shirahoshi card is really good because it is an easy-to-play Blocker in most Yellow decks. At two-cost, your opponent won't want to remove it via card effects since that will grant you an extra Life Card, so they have to clear it by battle. I mean, that's what blockers are for anyway. Right?

#4 Sanji (SP)

Next, we have one of the Wings of the Captain, Black Leg Sanji in his dashing suit from the raid on Onigashima island. This SP Rare card is a reprint of the Secret Rare Sanji from Wings of the Captain (OP-06).

This card is awesome and is starting to see more and more play now because of the new Blue/Purple Luffy Leader. Since Blue strategies have a knack for being able to stack your deck, combining Sanji with your Purple nine-cost bombs is an easy way to start swinging the momentum in your favor. This card looks amazing as it follows the trend of the set's SP cards, taking the appearance of poker cards. The original printing of this card has stabilized around $40, while the Alternate Art is closer to $60. The market price for this one is more than double that of the alternate art.

#3 Luffy-Tarou (SP)

The final SP card on our list in the set is Luffy-Tarou from Starter Deck 18 PURPLE Monkey.D.Luffy (ST-18). Another card suffering the same premium-rarity treatment as our Shanks from the sixth slot. 

Highlighting Luffy's appearance from his training while he was in the Udon Prison in Wano. Luffy-Tarou is one of the strongest cards for any Purple Straw Hat deck. At the cost of a Don -1, you get to bring out an extra body. This card looks awesome with the gold accents on the background and the Straw Hat Jolly Roger in the four corners of the card. This card is currently the most expensive of the SP cards and the most expensive card that is regarded as "easier" to pull.

Now, let's move on to the crazy cards.

#2 Monkey.D.Luffy (Manga)

It feels weird to not put the current set's Manga Rare at the top, but when you have sets with special luxury rare cards, it makes sense. 

Luffy's fight with Katakuri in the Mirror World of Whole Cake Island is often considered one of the best fights in the whole series. This was a fight where going into it, you could tell that Luffy was at a notable disadvantage. It wasn't until the latter half of the fight when Luffy awakened his Advanced Observation Haki that things started to shift in his favor. What really sealed the deal for him was using the intense speed that he gained from his Gear Four: Snakeman transformation. 

As with other Manga Rares, you have the main character in the foreground, and in the background, you have all the scenes leading up to the foreground's action. So, having a card that shows Luffy's first premiere of his Snakeman form is an incredible chase card for collectors. In terms of Manga Rares, this one is sitting around a middle price point of $600, not too shabby for a Luffy Manga Rare. Especially considering how many we've seen in the last year alone.

#1 Monkey.D.Luffy (Silver and Gold Printings)

Alright. The most expensive card in this set is actually two cards, but they're the same card, and they're both special printings. The most expensive card(s) in A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11) is the One Piece Card Game 3rd Anniversary SP Monkey.D.Luffy Gear Five. This card was the cover card for Awakening of the New Era and is again the chase card for A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11), just a little different than before.

The SP Luffy here comes in one of two styles — you can either get one with a Silver or Gold accent. Both of these cards are ridiculously expensive and incredibly difficult to pull. As these are the top chase cards in the set, it makes sense that they're valued at more than double our second card on this list. 

The "cheaper" of the two is the Silver Luffy, which is currently sitting around $1,300, while the Gold Luffy is closer to $3,000. Pulling one of these is sure to make your day, as they are by far and away the two best pulls in the set! Because of the chance of getting these cards, A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11) boxes are flying off the shelves faster than recent core sets. In fact, in the last year, the only other core set that has sold this well was Emperors in the New World (OP-09), which also had a bonus chase rare card in the Gol.D.Roger (OP09-118 - Manga). 

A Fist of Divine Speed (OP-11) is starting to settle down, with only a handful of Super Rare cards holding their value for the base printings and most of the value being on the top end of the set. Personally, I like to see this because sets with high rewards for pulling the big hitters is always a net positive.
