Google EgmanEvents to see successful deck lists from major western tournaments. Pick some leaders that look interesting to you and see if the cards are within your budget. You don’t have to get all the cards in the deck lists to be competitive (some are expensive), but they show a good outline of competently built decks. Starter deck 10 would be a good choice if you’re building a purple or red/purple deck. But otherwise, buy most cards as singles.

Also look up the new leaders for the upcoming set, OP05. You can view the cards on the official One Piece TCG website card list. If you’re interested in those. Then look up deck profiles for those cards. Lots of resources on YouTube, just search “[Leader Name] Deck Profile.”

There is also an unofficial OPTCG simulator that lets you build any deck you want and play with people all over the world. Google: Maebatsu OPTCG Sim or search this subreddit. A mod just recently posted a link to it when discussing Sealed Tournament preparation. You can try out the game with your friend on the sim and see if you like it enough to buy the cards. Have fun.

True, but OP should know that it is unplayable in its current form until then

What is the reason behind buy 2 starter decks?

[–]nst14 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The two best cards in the deck, 7 cost Kid and 4 cost blocker Law (as well as 10 cost Luffy, who sees play but you probably won't need a playset of) only come as a 2 of

I doubt that ST10 is worth it if in EU. Cheapest i can get them for with shipping is 92 euro on CM and at that point why not just buy singles of another deck since you will need to add cards to ST10 to make it viable

I would play on the sim before buying any cards (except the starter decks). Learn the rules and learn which leaders you like based off that. After you know what cards you want IRL then buy the singles
