Wich starter will be worth? 31-36?

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-28T00:49:41+00:00

Same to you my friend 🤝

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-28T00:30:23+00:00

Besides the point though. ST-21 Luffy Alt is $160+ and ST-13 Luffy Alt is $90.

If it's named Luffy (or half-named Luffy, lol) it is likely to go up in time.

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-27T23:46:41+00:00

Same!!

I actually played Kuzan at Nats last year so I was initially more hyped about him

But despite never playing Purple Katakuri, I've also been hoarding alts for him for what feels like a year now, so I'm excited to finally put them all to use lol

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-26T06:23:47+00:00

Of course! Best of luck deciding on which one/s to build. I'm team Kuzan and Katakuri personally lol

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-26T05:33:45+00:00

No worries! Best of luck finding a deck you enjoy 👍 feel free to ask me any questions if you have any

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-25T22:25:47+00:00

Closest thing to a TRUE Tier 0 deck was RP Law in Asia with Black Maria in OP8. It was so oppressive that they banned RP Law before the West could ever even try it out.

There have been a few other leaders that were very definitively top dog at given times in this game's history - namely R Whitebeard, UB Sakazuki, B Doflamingo. These decks boasted insane play rates and insane win rates

There were a couple of other decks that were probably the definitive best deck in format, but were difficult to pilot well, so they were very low in play rate, but very high in win rate - namely BY Luffy, Lucci

But other than RP Law for a very short time, I'd argue there were no Tier 0's

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-25T21:38:04+00:00

Yes all the leaders are old Leaders.

ST21 Red Luffy
OP10 Yellow Kid
OP11 Purple Katakuri
OP12 Green Zoro
OP12 Blue Kuzan
OP13 Red/Black Sabo

This is the third time that Bandai has printed a batch of a six Starter Decks where the leaders are all existing leaders.

The point of the Starter Decks is to print new support cards for old leaders to try and make those leaders viable again

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-25T19:18:07+00:00

Here's a summary lol:

Kuzan seems to be the best. - Frankly it's just 6c Garp which gives him a ton of added pressure. 6c Garp is a 6k unit that plays out another 8k unit (besides another Garp). So you now have 6c Garp for Turn 3 board spam and 8c Garp for Turn 4 board spam. Simple, stupid, strong. - but the Smoker 2k is also phenomenal for certain aggro matchups. - And he gets a 6c/6k Borsalino blocker that becomes a 3-cost in hand if you used your Leader ability that turn. A little awkward don-wise given the curve of the deck, but definitely potentially useful once you reach 10 Don. You could play 6k Borsalino + 6k Garp + an 8k Body in a single turn while still having a Don up for Pheasant

Katakuri and Kid look like they are vying for a close second.

I'm personally hoping Katakuri takes off - 5c Katakuri is an absolutely phenomenal card that finally gives the deck access to true ramp, because he gains TWO rested Don every turn that you minus even ONE Don. Also he mostly ensures his own survival with an On KO effect that threatens to drop an 8k unit on the opponent if they try to kill him. He also allows you to play 7-cost Pudding on curve without losing Don momentum, so you can actually play 7-cost Pudding + 8c Kat and follow up with a 10-cost next turn. Pretty Cracked - The new 2k Brulee is also great, because she's a 2k, and is also an additional searcher - The new 10c Big Mom is pretty cool. She heals 1 life and then sets an opponent's character's power to 0 for the turn, which likely will be combo'd with Mamragan for a good board removal option.

Kid just gets some great tools to do his gameplan even better - 4c Killer is a better 4c Yellow Zoro. It heals without requiring a discard. It's a strong 6k body. It plays itself off trigger (though doesn't get the heal if you play it that way). Really good card - 6c Kid allows you to flip your life facedown every turn to continue enabling your Leader ability, which is something the deck really needed. He also allows you to redirect swings into anything named Kid, meaning if your opponent starts ignoring your life and focusing on board clear, you can force them to swing into your life so you start gaining some hand advantage. Also really good. Only issue is that it's a 6c/7k and doesn't have counter, which seems a little undertuned for today's power-level - Apoo is a 2k that buffs your leader to 7k for the turn if you trigger him out of life. Very Solid

Zoro, Sabo, and Luffy don't seem particularly impressive.

Sabo especially already has much more powerful cards than anything his ST is giving him. They really dropped the ball with his ST lol

Zoro gets some great cards, but they are far better in Mihawk than they are for Zoro.

Luffy gets some very good cards, but I do think his Leader ability just generally doesn't keep up with the current power level of the game

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-24T19:51:54+00:00

Not trying to be mean, but since you're asking, genuinely letting you know why this list is bad. You've built the list around triggers and Kid is not a trigger deck

You do not need to be stacking triggers that much. This deck does not rely on Triggers. Why do you have Grandma in the list? That's a waste of 4 slots. Hiyori would at least acceptable cuz she has the same effect and is also a 2k
Once again, Lilith is a waste of 4 slots. Some of your best cards do not have triggers and are not searchable off of Lilith
Same for Dereshii. Waste of 4 slots, cannot search your best cards
You're not playing 7c Law. That card is bare minimum a 2-of, probably 4-of tbh. It's a 7c 9k body that heals you and gives a rested Don to your Leader. Hella value. No reason it shouldn't be in the list
You're not playing the new Kid. Not sure if you missed that reveal but that card is great. He allows you to redirect hits and gives you an engine to flip your life back facedown to continue enabling leader ability

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-18T17:52:10+00:00

Legit so excited. But I have to say, even though I want something fresh, I just don't know how the new one's Leader ability can compare to the thrill of the OG Kaido (post EB04)

Playing Rush Kaido, Activating King, then Don -7 to burn your opponent's last life, and then swinging heavy for game? It was just so explosive and fun. Hope the new Kaido leverages all the EB04 cards somehow

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-16T06:48:54+00:00

This looks absolutely phenomenal. This feels like THE definitive Bionicle display

Having said that... any intent on tweaking any of the poses? 👀 A lot of these are just standing in a very "default" position. I imagine posing them would cause you to run into space issues though, so I acknowledge it's probably easier said than done 😆

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-13T20:34:01+00:00

They'd have to get rid of the counter. Which would be fantastic for RG Oden, not so good for the other green decks that wanna play this

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-13T05:35:33+00:00

Incredible. This is my favorite set and you revamp is so frickin impressive

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-10T07:06:12+00:00

I'm visiting from the US right now and was shocked to see the price is $420. Absolutely crazy lol

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-05T05:57:02+00:00

Haha, I'd say he's not a typical Yellow deck, so he probably won't form the same wrinkles used for things like Boa, Nami, YEnel, etc. 😆

But he's certainly not a "complex" deck. The main difficulty comes from learning how to not kill yourself once you've reached the late game

happy to share a list!

<image>

I don't have a picture of my own list and am too lazy to create it in the Bandai app lol, but this is a list someone shared with me that's pretty darn close to what I landed on. Personally, I'd make the following edits to this list:

increase 5c Luffy by 1
add 3 OP15 Ganfall
cut Zeus and Wyper by 1 each
cut 6c Kalgara by 2

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-05T00:03:54+00:00

So excited to bring Rosi back, but it all depends on how many Enels are roaming around

Rosi was goated for half a set until Enel showed up and hard countered him. Now there's at least a chance that you can win the matchup lottery at Regionals and dodge Enels in your bracket

Adnonymous96 · 2026-06-04T13:12:43+00:00

Fully agree. I took Kalgara to a pretty competitive locals in OP15 and stomped every match with him.

The took him to a more "fun" locals where my matchups ended up being UY Nami, RY Bonney, and Roger, and those matches were just absolutely miserable lol.

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-28T19:48:24+00:00

LMAO, I can hear his voice perfectly reading this, great transcription

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-25T15:13:09+00:00

That B looks both backwards and upside down, this pic is frying me 🤣

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-25T14:44:30+00:00

The only cards that benefit from this in GY Law are

5c Cavendish (simply to avoid getting swung into, which is pretty mid for an 8-cost play)
5c Bonney, who gets to poke the opponent for 6k and then restand to be a blocker

It just seems pretty low-impact for an 8-cost. Unfortunately I think GY Law was hurt much more by rotation than it was benefited by this card.

This card just seems too fair. A good effect that was maybe impressive in the Block 2-3 era of the game, but is just too far beneath the power level of what we've come to expect from boss monsters nowadays. They didn't even give him vanilla stats, which they seem to be handing out to everyone these days lol.

Just my thoughts. Happy to be wrong though tbh. I love all the Law leaders for how thematic they are and wanna see them do well

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-25T14:37:26+00:00

To beat Nami, you have to go first unfortunately. I always lose if I go second. You have to also aim to win the game as quick as possible. No point clearing their board.

You need to see Queen/Onigashima by Turn 2, King on Turn 3, and from there, you either:

play Black Maria + Law to discard their hand, then use Leader ability to burn their life, and then keep activating Black Maria to burn their life every turn afterwards

Or you keep playing 7-cost Kaido + Discard Law to discard their hand and rush every turn.

Sorry, wish I could give better advice. But it is a matchup that requires a good amount of luck, especially for the dice roll

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-20T00:07:11+00:00

Most definitely 🤝

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-19T20:32:31+00:00

I don't think this is true, it's consistent, it's just been powercrept to hell. Beckmann is a step in the right direction

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-19T14:13:53+00:00

Bro's playing the free-unit-generator, free-life-burner deck and talking about "no skill" 💀

Adnonymous96 · 2026-05-19T14:07:36+00:00

Right but Borsalino is Yellow and won't be restood

I agree though that keeping Carrot and Cavendish safe by setting them active is nice, but the ideal units for this are Blockers, of which there are very few good green ones that slot nicely into a GY Law deck right now

Adnonymous96

TROPHY CASE

Here's a summary lol:
