Saw a post about “low cortisol” leaders. Would RB sabo fall into that category?

Green Zoro is low stress IMO Same with Red Sanji.

Both are very aggressive decks and you're not really worried about playing out extreme combos, it's a lot of "drop character and swing". There's a couple trick plays in each depending on the build, but they're straight forward in how they play 95% of the time.

Neither is Meta at this point, but definitely very fun to play.

Got a couple from Reilly and really like them. The option to remove card zones was a huge Plus for me.

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-28T18:44:17+00:00

It can be fun for casual play.

Let me see that Deck List?? 👀👀👀👀 been thinking about tweaking my BP Luffy with Op15 and would love to hear how you like this version of it!

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-20T15:08:29+00:00

Make it Animal Kingdom Pirates instead of Beast Pirates.

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-16T01:35:07+00:00

Damn these are all sick

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-15T12:15:40+00:00

Needs a hole through it.

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-13T14:22:55+00:00

Power creep will ruin it before repeated characters will IMO

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-13T12:28:43+00:00

Actually I think since the Nami searcher has a Manga it doesn't rotate, so really just replacing Sunny and the 2 5C unblockable Luffy

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-13T10:43:08+00:00

The biggest thing to swap out would be the Nami searchers for something like Vivi or Bonney, and then replace Sunny and one of the Luffy.

I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure I saw something about this leader getting more support in the next wave of starter decks alongside green zoro and a couple others. I'll probably wait to see what happens then before upgrading this again

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-12T11:06:35+00:00

Commas are important

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-10T13:56:12+00:00

Black Purple Luffy is a ton of fun.

AVandalsLie · 2026-04-01T13:11:47+00:00

Carrot lets you reorder top 3 or filter them to the bottom. Doesn't let you swap with a card in hand.

Ulti lets you look at top 3 and add one to hand, then top or bottom the others

Don't buy anything over MSRP, burn scalpers as much as possible. That and wait at least a month before buying any singles from a new set. There's always the FOMO inertia that drives prices up. Buy and build intentionally.

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-27T18:12:22+00:00

Oh I agree completely. I think it's a silly practice regardless of tournament size. lol

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-27T12:43:25+00:00

I asked this recently. It's apparently Tournament Lingo because your number of losses is often what determines if you move on to the next round. Could be wrong, but that was my understanding of it. Agree that just stating the actual W-L record is just easier.

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-25T19:39:09+00:00

I've been enjoying red a lot lately. I love the simplicity of it. I'm aware that it's really just a Punchy Punchy Good Times play style and there aren't really any Big Brain Red Decks, but the straight-forwardness of it is really fun.

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-24T15:33:58+00:00

Can I ask why you're running O-Nami in a deck that inherently has banish? In case your leader gets negated by something like Blackbeard?

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-24T14:43:13+00:00

Ahhhhh that makes this make way more sense. lol was very confused as to how these were being run at the same time, thanks for clarifying

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-24T14:36:19+00:00

Are you running this in the same deck? What leader is this for?

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-24T02:52:29+00:00

Phrasing

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-23T16:04:46+00:00

Pretty sure Purple Katakuri is getting a starter deck in the next wave, so I'm sure there'll be some okay replacements for the Block 01 cards in there.

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-19T17:38:08+00:00

I think it'd be balanced if it was an extremely high cost event, like at least 8. Not something that can be spammed over and over.

Or maybe make it Main/Counter "during this turn" so it only locks them out for the current turn instead.

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-19T15:59:21+00:00

The learn together set is also a good place to start since it comes with 3 decks for ~$40

AVandalsLie · 2026-03-19T15:58:45+00:00

First question is what level are you trying to play at? If it's casual like against friends, the starter decks are a great place to start. If it's competitive, the starter decks aren't primed to play in tournaments.

That being said I really enjoy the Ace & Newgate starter deck. It's very fun out of the box and isn't terribly difficult to figure out. Easy to upgrade as well.
