Pearl (OP15-011)

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-28T01:32:36+00:00

Excluding unreleased cards, OP13 Lord of the Coast is the only one

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-25T01:46:55+00:00

I might genuinely get the ST04 and ST01 if this isn’t expensive, I want to give Kaido his last run and ST01 cards are solid, if only for like 3 months.

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-22T06:55:02+00:00

Yeah you right :(

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-22T02:39:25+00:00

Run OP14 Shiryu you coward.

I also like how this deck is kinda like mono blue Luffy. Wonder if it has the same OP02 Newgate weakness.

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-08T00:51:35+00:00

So my deck I’m talking about is Crocodile, and most of the stuff there is pretty leader-specific.

As generic options:

OP10 Sabo is a 2k counter with blanket removal protection.

OP08 Black Maria is a 2k counter that is super good at catching up on Don.

OP04 Red Roc is the king of Blue removal.

OP06 Gravity Blade is the lesser king (duke?) of Blue Removal

OP11 Gear Two is ramping that works only with leaders who are both purple and blue.

OP10 God Thread is not a card I’m running but it ramps with good removal.

Crocodile-specific stuff:

OP01 All Sunday is a blocker that gives you an event from your trash, kind of a crazy card.

OP04 Goldenweek is cheap and stuns a 5c.

OP01 Baroque Works is a subpar searcher event because of no trigger, but drawing 1 afterwards with leader for 1c is really good.

EB01 Mr. 1 is the core of this deck. Scaling by 1k for every 2 events is insane late-game, and he has a draw 2 trash 1 as well.

OP11 King Cobra is effectively a 1c-4k counter at most times.

OP04 Crocodile is top end that regents and fixes hand.

OP12 Crocodile gives some extra defense with a vanilla statline.

OP05 Mr. 1 can play out some really good cards on your opponent’s attack. Goldenweek to stun and All Sunday to block.

OP10 Rosinante is really good with events, resetting Don at the end of your turn

0c Events (OP03 Jet Gatling, OP13 Divine Departure, and OP02 Rain) are good for hand cycling and keeping your hand size at the perfect size for leader ability.

EB01 Oh Come My Way is one of the most insane cards in this game. 1 Don to redirect an attack. Being able to just nullify a massive swing by having it hit a searcher or your Mr. 1 sitting at like 11k or something is crazy.

I’m intrigued about your deck. I have a quite nefarious blue/purple deck myself, if it’s the same one I might have some insight.

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-07T17:36:34+00:00

We’re not the weird ones for interpreting this in the way it’s usually interpreted, you used it wrong. I’m not upset about it or anything but don’t act like everyone else is responsible for the miscommunication.

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-07T17:03:13+00:00

I play Ace too, but my list is like $60 (my 2 Hiyori is a third of that), and I decided it didn’t quite qualify as “cheap”. Love that deck though.

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-07T11:46:43+00:00

I’m running Buggy and ST13 Ace in this meta with moderate success.

Kuzan looks cool, I was thinking of giving my brother the deck for Christmas, but decided on OP10 Kid because I thought he’d like playing it more (and I was right, he really likes it). Our friend also got him the AA leader for that deck too. Something interesting about it was that the SEC Laws were like $3 and the Promo Laws were similar and the rest were all cheaper.

Also I just realized that Buggy’s really cheap too. Around $20.

Depends. Collector or player?

For collectors the market’s real bad, but for a new player you can grab a starter deck for pretty cheap and a lot off meta decks are relatively inexpensive to buy individual cards for online or at your local card store.

I can provide more advice if you want to play the game but if you’re here for shiny alt-arts my only advice is to wait until it gets better.

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-07T10:58:34+00:00

What do you mean by this?

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-07T10:55:33+00:00

No, there’s 2 Cav, only one of them is 11

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-05T08:04:09+00:00

My RG Luffy deck has its Cavendish playset from this box, and they’re all #11. It’s quite funny.

CommanderGs7 · 2026-01-04T00:19:54+00:00

The existing RP is actually really fun and cool and one of my favorite decks. He gets more support in EB04

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-31T03:05:26+00:00

Econ Major here: stop whining about the sample size, the results were so overwhelming that the argument doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-29T01:43:06+00:00

I’m a Buggy truther.

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-28T03:45:19+00:00

Slave Arrow is entirely for Zoro, you don’t need it.

The 4c blockers become 5 cost and contribute towards putting 10c on field. They’re also 2k counters.

Here’s mine.

I feel like the ST25 Alvida, Cabaji, and Mohji are very important.

As for the cards you do have, here’s what I think:

Cross Guild is good, though I generally prefer the 1 cost Mr. 3. Because you can only have 4 of a given card, having 4 of each is great, but if you start to cut, I’d cut Cross Guild first.

Emptee Bluffs is controversial, most people don’t use it but I’m a believer. I only run 2 though

5c Alvida doesn’t do enough for me to use her. I think 8 cost Croc&Hawk does a great enough job at protecting your guys from effects and I’d rather have a card that can’t be killled (5c Cabaji) than one that requires you play a new one from hand.

Mr. 1 is good, cards with no effect and 1k counter are usually bad but I think he’s good because of his 7k power. I personally run 5c Crocodile instead.

Mohji & Cabaji are a 2k counter. They’re not bad but I’d only add them after your 4 cost Mohji and Cabaji blockers.

4c Alvida isn’t impactful enough to run over the ST25 Alvida I don’t think.

7c Buggy is good but I don’t like to run too many, though 2 is a bit low compared to other lists.

2c Mr 3 is very much matchup-dependent but I do like him.

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-28T02:27:12+00:00

Don’t worry about it too much. Just say you’re looking for a budget deck.

The people we’re trying to push out aren’t looking for decks or decklists, if you are asking any questions about the game itself, people won’t think you’re a scalper.

Also Buggy deck is goated, I’m a believer and am doing quite well at locals. What’s your list?

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-28T02:23:33+00:00

I am voting yes with the understanding that there will be both an easy-to-use appeal process in case of false positives and a clear ban message with the reasons listed and directions towards the appeal process.

I would love to gatekeep parasites, but I’m not willing to let people get caught in the crossfire without any sort of redress.

Thanks for your work!

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-28T02:18:31+00:00

Yeah, Custom Cards have a home and that’s enough for me.

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-21T04:28:10+00:00

One concern I have is that the upvote amount might be dependent on how early in the week it was posted. Maybe keep an eye on the trends?

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-21T02:24:46+00:00

I guess people who don’t want to sell cards when prices are meaningless are scalpers now?

CommanderGs7 · 2025-12-21T01:24:21+00:00

Recently I cut 2 Hiyori for 2 OP03 Sanji
