OP15-058-enel has a unique passive effect that bends the rules of the game, requiring you to have exactly 6 DON!! cards in your DON!! deck instead of the usual 10. While this may seem restrictive or even like a drawback at first glance, it actually serves as a balancing factor for OP15-058-enel’s insane [Activate: Main][Once Per Turn] effect.
Starting from your second turn, this effect allows you to add up to 1 DON!! card from your DON!! deck and set it as active, then add up to 4 additional DON!! cards and rest them. This effectively means you can generate up to 5 DON!! cards in a single turn—1 active and 4 rested—giving you a powerful way to recover tempo. This is especially important since many of the core cards in OP15-058-enel decks require you to return DON!! cards to activate their effects.
On top of that, the second part of this effect allows you to attach those 4 rested DON!! cards to a Character, effectively giving it +4000 power, turning it into a highly threatening and difficult-to-defend attacker.
So if you’re impressed and intrigued by how OP15-058-enel truly lives up to his anime counterpart, being overwhelmingly powerful and oppressive in playstyle, then this is your sign to dive in and take control of the game like never before. Get ready to build this deck card by card, master its intricate lines, and overwhelm your opponents with unmatched tempo and pressure, but be warned, once you start bending the rules and dominating every matchup, you might just develop a bit of a god complex, just like OP15-058-enel himself.
Core Cards
Every strong OP15-058-enel deck is built around a high-tempo DON!! manipulation core. Based on tournament-tested lists, these cards consistently benefits on explosive DON!! generation, efficient resource cycling, and overwhelming power swings, allowing Enel to recover tempo, fuel his effects, and dominate the board through relentless pressure and value.
Lightning God's Priests
The following core cards are composed of three of Enel’s four priests. Each is a 1-cost Character with an [On Play] effect that replaces itself in hand by drawing 1 card in exchange for returning 1 DON!!, which greatly boosts the value of OP15-058-enel’s [Activate: Main][Once Per Turn] effect.
The first priest is OP15-061-ohm. Aside from his efficient [On Play] effect that returns 1 DON!! to draw a card, he also offers strong board control through his [When Attacking] effect, allowing you to give −1000 power to one of your opponent’s Characters if you have 6 or fewer DON!! on your field. This synergizes perfectly with OP15-058-enel’s unique mechanic. In addition, he has a powerful combo with his battle pet OP15-071-holly, making him a threatening attacker that cannot be ignored. Thanks to his synergy to OP15-071-holly he also becomes one of the prime target for Enel’s DON!! manipulation, as attaching 4 rested DON!! turns him into a 6000-power attacker

OP15-066-satori is another 1-cost priest of OP15-058-enel with a valuable [On Play] draw effect. On top of that, his [When Attacking] ability provides strong deck manipulation by letting you look at the top 2 cards of your deck and place them in any order on the top or bottom if you have 6 or fewer DON!! on your field. This effect fully benefits from Enel’s game-warping mechanic, giving you better control over your future draws and a significant advantage in planning ahead.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
The last 1-cost priest is OP15-067-shura. Like the others, he has a solid [On Play] draw effect, but instead of utility, he offers immediate offensive pressure with the [Rush] keyword. This makes him an excellent target for OP15-058-enel’s DON!! manipulation, allowing him to become a 6000-power attacker by attaching 4 rested DON!!. This not only provides a strong attacker but also gives you access to a surprise low-cost [Rush] threat in the later stages of the game when resources are more limited.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
Staple Utility Cards
The 4th and last 1-cost unit core piece of the deck instead of the final priest OP15-063-gedatsu is OP12-071-charlotte-pudding, valuable searcher with a reliable [On Play] effect that lets you look at the top 4 cards of your deck, reveal one "Sanji" or Event card, and add it to your hand, since most of OP15-058-enel's powerful pieces are event cards such as OP15-078-mamaragan and other OP15 Purple Enel's event support cards this added consistency from OP12-071-charlotte-pudding's effect and adding a way to search a 2000 hand counter by being able to fish OP07-064-sanji cements her self as a solid core piece of the deck.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
This 3-cost card is safe to say a powerful alternate win condition in most OP15-058-enel decks. OP15-071-holly, a 4000-power Character, has a threatening passive effect that gives both itself and all of your OP15-061-ohm units the [Double Attack] keyword, one of the most oppressive offensive mechanics in the game. On top of that, OP15-071-holly also provides board protection through its [Opponent’s Turn] effect, setting the base power of itself and your OP15-061-ohm units to 6000, giving them strong staying power as key attackers. This also makes it a strong target for OP15-058-enel’s DON!! manipulation, effectively turning OP15-071-holly into an 8000-power [Double Attack] threat by attaching 4 rested DON!! cards, while also functioning as a pseudo-[Blocker] that your opponent is pressured to deal with immediately.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
Another staple 2000 counter for Purple decks, OP07-064-sanji is a 6-cost [Blocker] with a self cost-reduction ability that makes him a 3-cost if you have at least 2 fewer DON!! cards on your field than your opponent. This makes him a reliable, low-cost [Blocker] in the mid to later stages of the game since OP15-058-enel has built-in game warping effect that prevent you to have 7 and more DON!! cards in your DON!! deck. However, his primary role in OP12-041-sanji decks remains as a dependable 2000 counter, with the added upside of becoming a situational defensive [Blocker] when needed.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
OP13-076-divine-departure is a flexible 0-cost Event that becomes a staple in a lot of purple decks. Its [Counter] effect lets you discard 1 card from your hand—ideally something unnecessary—to give +3000 power to your Leader or one of your Characters during battle, making it an efficient defensive tool for OP15-058-enel decks.
What makes Divine Departure unique is its situational but powerful [Main] effect. By resting 5 DON!!, you can give one of your opponent’s Characters −8000 power for the turn, allowing you to remove even high-power threats that would otherwise be difficult to deal with. While this effect is situational, the card is most commonly valued for its consistency as a defensive counter.
Run 2 copies as recommended.
Enel's Event Cards
Aside from having a solid lineup of reliable units, OP15-058-enel decks gain a strong footing in the meta thanks to their multipurpose direct support Event cards. These cards are a major reason the deck is known for its high skill expression and ability to dominate a wide range of matchups. Below are the core Event cards that define the deck's strategy.
OP15-075-el-thor is the first key Event, a 0-cost card that functions as both board control and a defensive tool. Its [Main] effect requires you to return 1 DON!! card to your DON!! deck to give your Leader or one of your Characters +1000 power for the turn, then K.O. one of your opponent’s Characters with 3000 power or less if your Leader is "Enel." On top of that, it has a valuable [Counter] effect that gives +2000 power to one of your "Enel" cards. This combination allows you to efficiently contest the board while maintaining strong defensive options for your Leader or key units like OP15-060-enel and OP15-118-enel.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
The next Event is OP15-076-lightning-beast-kiten, another 0-cost card with two reliable effects. Its [Main] effect requires you to return 1 DON!! to draw 1 card, then give one of your opponent’s Characters −1000 power for the turn if your Leader is "Enel." This provides both value and light board control, which is especially impactful in close games. In addition, it has a [Counter] effect that gives +2000 power to one of your "Enel" cards, including your Leader OP15-058-enel or units like OP15-060-enel and OP15-118-enel.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
One of the most disruptive Event cards in the deck is OP15-077-lightning-dragon. This 0-cost Event has a very powerful [Main] effect that allows you to draw 1 card, then stun one of your opponent’s rested Characters with 6000 power or less, preventing it from becoming active during your opponent’s next Refresh Phase. All of this comes at the cost of returning 1 DON!!, which is a negligible drawback due to OP15-058-enel’s ability to recover DON!! efficiently. This makes it an incredible tempo tool that can shut down key threats.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
The last, but definitely not least, core Event is OP15-078-mamaragan, another 0-cost dual-purpose card. Its [Main] effect requires you to return 2 DON!! cards to draw 1 card and rest one of your opponent’s Characters with 5000 power or less, providing both resource generation and board disruption. Meanwhile, its [Counter] effect gives +1000 power to your Leader or one of your Characters during battle, and if you have 6 or fewer DON!!, you also draw 1 card.
This combination of effects makes OP15-078-mamaragan an extremely flexible and valuable tool, enabling consistent value generation while maintaining pressure and defense, firmly securing its place as a core piece in OP15-058-enel decks.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
6-cost Win Conditions
Both of the following OP15 units tailored for OP15-058-enel decks boast powerful passive effects that strongly synergize with the deck’s playstyle. By having 6 or fewer DON!! cards on your field, these units transform into formidable win conditions that are extremely difficult for opponents to handle.
The first heavy hitter of the deck is OP15-060-enel, a 6-cost, 8000-power Character with a passive effect that makes it unaffected by your opponent’s effects and grants it +2000 power if you have 6 or fewer DON!! cards. This alone turns it into a sticky 10000-power threat, or even 14000 power with OP15-058-enel’s [Activate: Main][Once Per Turn] effect by attaching 4 rested DON!!. This forces opponents to deal with it inefficiently, as it cannot be easily removed by powerful Event cards like OP04-056-gum-gum-red-roc from Blue decks.
On top of that, OP15-060-enel has an [Activate: Main] effect that allows it to gain the [Blocker] keyword by returning 1 DON!! card to your DON!! deck and trashing 1 card. This means it not only acts as a massive offensive threat but also doubles as a reliable defensive wall that can buy you an extra turn to stabilize and counterattack.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
The final core unit of the deck is OP15-118-enel, another threatening attacker similar to OP15-060-enel. It also has built-in resiliency, gaining +2000 power and becoming unaffected by your opponent’s card effects when you have 6 or fewer DON!! cards.
In addition, OP15-118-enel has a strong [On Play] effect that allows you to look at the top 5 cards of your deck, add up to 1 card to your hand, then place the rest at the bottom in any order. To activate this, you return 1 DON!! card to your DON!! deck and trash 1 card from your hand. While this does not generate direct card advantage, it provides valuable filtering and consistency in the mid to late game, helping you find key pieces when needed.
As a standalone threat, this card can reach 10000 power on its own and up to 14000 power with OP15-058-enel’s effect, making it another perfect win condition that combines consistency, resilience, and overwhelming pressure.
Run 4 copies as recommended.
Tech Cards
Since OP15-058-enel is still a developing archetype with a clearly defined playstyle, most optimized lists tend to share a similar core, with differences mainly coming from selective tech choices. This consistency highlights the deck’s inherent strength, as its core cards naturally enable its high-tempo DON!! manipulation strategy and rarely require major changes. Success with the deck comes less from drastic adjustments and more from mastering its intricate sequencing and resource management. That said, the following tech options are worth careful consideration, as they integrate smoothly into the core while enhancing specific matchups without changing the deck’s overall game plan.
Solid Tech Options
Another OP15 support card designed for OP15-058-enel decks that didn’t quite make the core but remains a strong tech option is OP15-074-varie. Its [Main] effect lets you draw 1 card and give +2 cost to one of your Characters until the end of your opponent’s turn, making it a valuable tool for protecting key units from cost-based removal in the current meta. On top of that, it also provides a solid [Counter] effect that grants +2000 power to your "Enel" cards, including your Leader, adding both utility and defensive value in a single slot.
Run 0-1 copy depending on personal preference.
If you’re looking for additional board protection, OP15-069-nola is another great consideration. It has a passive effect that protects your Characters with 7000 base power or less from being removed by your opponent’s effects by returning 1 DON!! card to your DON!! deck instead. This synergizes perfectly with the deck’s core mechanic and is especially effective at protecting low-cost units like the priests—particularly OP15-061-ohm—as well as his battle pet OP15-071-holly, which serves as a legitimate alternate win condition in OP15-058-enel decks.
Run 0-4 copy depending on personal preference.

In addition, it has a [Trigger] effect that ramps 1 active DON!! during your defending turn, giving you extra resources to defend attacks and additional DON!! for your following turn — which can be used to play one of the 1-cost priest or other event cards in the deck.
Run 0-1 copy depending on personal preference.
