I’ve tried going with an Animal Kingdom Midrange build — focus on ramping the first few turn to get to 7 DON!! and start dropping boss characters like rush King, Kaido&Linlin, and 11c Jack.

I’ve tried a Navy build — focus on cost reduction and board control.

I’ve tried a “hybrid” build — mixing Navy and Animal Kingdom and trying to balance control and ramp so I can stall until I can drop boss characters.

I’ve even tried a Black/Purple “goodstuff” build — if you look at the only 08 King deck on OnePieceTopDecks, that’s what it is.

I just can’t figure it out. I don’t think I’m familiar enough with the mechanics of the game yet to really brew my own decks. I’ve only been playing for about 3 months or so.

I honestly wish there was something like EDHRec for OPTCG. It would make brewing so much easier and I think it would open the door to more diverse builds.

For those unaware, EDHRec is a deckbuilding website for Magic: the Gathering. It lets you choose your Commander (the same as a Leader, with the same deck building rules — can only include cards that are in your Commander’s colors) and shows you a list of cards along with quick stats on the cards. The quick stats are shown as a percentage of decks with that Commander that have been recorded that run that card, and a predicted synergy rating displayed as a percentage based on general statistics.

However, with that said, I also think the game is still too young to really have a site like that with meaningful information. But I digress.

Anyway, I’m just looking for recommendations on what I should include in the deck to make it at least somewhat competitively viable.
