■Experience the fun of sealed format!In sealed format, players each open a set number of booster packs from specified sets, andbuild their decks using only the cards they open.Unlike standard play, you can ignore the normal deck building colour restrictions based on yourleader and can include cards of any colour in your deck, and there are additional special rules fordeckbuilding.

■Suggested Packs to Use-6 Packs (each participant should use the same number of packs.)-You may bring your own leader (including those from previous sets) to use in the event.-Please bring 10x DON!! Cards to participate in the event.

■Deck Construction RulesAfter opening 6 packs, players build a 40-card deck, and a 10 DON!! card deck. There areno banned or restricted cards, and players can include as many copies of cards with the samecard number as they like. (There is no 4-card limit and 5 or more copies of a card with thesame card number can be included in decks.) Any cards left over from deck construction aretreated as sideboard cards.

■SideboardsCards not used in decks are treated as sideboard cards. In-between games, players canexchange cards in their deck with cards in their sideboard. Players can exchange as manycards between deck and sideboard as they like, so long as they have a legal number of cardsin their deck.

■Keeping CardsPlayers can keep any cards they open in packs.

■Special Game RulesIn sealed format games, players can ignore deck colour requirements based on their leader.Example: Ordinarily with the red starter deck ST01-001 Monkey D.Luffy as your leader, you would berestricted to only having red cards in your deck, however in sealed format you can use cards of anycolour in your deck, even though your leader is only red.All other card text restrictions still apply as normal, including effects listed on leaders whenspecifying names or colours of cards.Example 1: With your leader as OP01-060 “Donquixote Doflamingo”, you may only search for [TheSeven Warlords of the Sea] type Character cards when triggering his abilityExample 2: When using the ability of OP01-067 “Crocodile” “Blue Event cards in your hand cost 1less to play” would only apply to Blue Event cards – This would not apply to Event cards of othercolours.
