Absolute Justice teaches removal as a sequence. The useful skill is recognizing the work needed before a threatening opposing Character becomes an eligible target.

What this product is

ST-06 is Absolute Justice, released in English on March 10, 2023. A constructed 51-card deck, ten DON!! cards, and a playsheet.

The 51-card deck count includes its Leader and fifty main-deck cards. The DON!! cards are separate. One complete starter supplies one player’s deck; a two-person learning match needs another complete setup. Random bonus cards, where included, are separate from the fixed learning deck.

How to approach the deck

Bandai introduces black through Navy cards that lower an opposing Character’s cost and remove Characters beneath a cost threshold. Plan the reduction and the removal together. Check whether the reduction lasts for the turn and whether it changes the card you actually intend to remove. Cost and power are different numbers: a low-cost Character can still have substantial power. Spend the interaction on a threat that changes the opponent’s next turn, rather than removing the first legal target.

A useful teaching exercise

Create two opposing threats with different printed costs. Choose a reduction effect and a removal effect from your list, then calculate which targets become legal and what the sequence costs you. Compare removing a smaller engine now with preparing for a larger attacker. Finish by writing the opposing play you are trying to prevent; this gives your removal a measurable purpose.

Who should compare it?

A strong teaching choice for players who like control and the Navy theme. It rewards careful reading and may need more explanation than a straightforward attacking starter.

One mistake to avoid

Reducing cost does not automatically reduce combat power, and removal that checks cost does not care only about the number printed in the power box.

Before buying or upgrading

Match the exact product code and English language in the selected offer. Compare a sealed package with any deck-only resale by the contents actually included. If you want a particular upgrade, price the eligible singles before opening boosters in pursuit of it. Use the current event rules and restriction list for organized play; an old release-date legality note is not a current eligibility guarantee.

Where to look for this older deck

For the English ST-06 starter, compare current offers on TCGplayer.
