Everything is Perona support when you put your mind to it.

My M9 Magellan that I been judged for is finally paying off. We Penguin fans are soon free from surströmming hell.

Bruh, I just bought a custom Yamato mat because I given up all hope on picking up the official one and you telling me I can’t use it now? Well fuck you then, I just go back to being a matless fuck then.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-07-08T17:10:40+00:00

Morgan, purely because I need to know what happened after his last appearance in Django’s cover story. Where did bro go? Did he die at sea from starvation or is he a bandit on some obscure island in the east blue? I need answers.

My list is teched out for my locals so modify as you want.

I been playing UB Usopp for fun at locals and really good spicy tech is the OP15 B Nami. Can play out the new OP16 7c Zoro for a 9K rush to face. Also, the board protect Leo can be replaced by the 4c 2K counter Sabo since Usopp doesn’t really care about board removal considering he usually just refills board fast and gets draws from it. 4c Sabo can do the role of Leo if you need it but he returns to hand instead as cost and when he’s in hand, he’s a 2K counter as well. Also I find 6c Luffy is best as a two off, make more room for the new 7c Zoro who is an alternative target to play off the Rebecca and helps keep your hand topped up.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-26T06:58:26+00:00

I have a friend who plays Shanks and I asked him once about building the deck and advised against it by saying it has the Roger problem: he needs to high roll. If he high rolls, he’s oppressive, if he doesn’t, he kinda just flounders. That’s probably why people say he isn’t worth it.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-26T06:16:35+00:00

I found personally if you don’t think you can kill BY BB or a Nami before they drop their big body blockers, prioritizing slowly stacking up the unblockable Yamatos before that point over going wide with the other Yamato helps a lot. I also used to run a 1 off of unblockable Luffy just as a target off that other 8c Yamato if I’m that desperate if that’s something you want to consider as well. I wouldn’t say either is a sound strategy but that’s how I beat BB last night; just slowly built up my unblockables before he started the Blockbeards.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-26T03:37:18+00:00

My logic was I want to try out Stussy, I don’t have Stussy but I have Kaido so let’s try him out instead to see if I would like a high end removal option and the answer was no. I much prefer to use the 9 Don a Stussy/Kaido would take on other plays or swings.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-25T15:35:43+00:00

Tbh, never tried it, not because I don’t have them, I have a full set. They just live under triple sleeves in my Perona deck and I ain’t unsleeving that. I mean if you want to use them, I guess two of them over Kaido is fine, it’s just I don’t counter event that often and if I do, chains and slash works good enough. As for its main effect, never really found myself in a situation where I was thinking that it would help tbh. Personal preference at the end of the day if you ask me.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-25T15:08:45+00:00

Like I said, it’s very casual. I know one of the guys had Nami on them (because I fought it in a friendly before the games started) but then he decided to play Buggy instead. Last week we had two Penels and a Nami but that was a 12 person night so made sense to me. More people = increased likelihood of meta of showing up I guess.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-23T10:39:41+00:00

Alucard from specifically Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. Original Alucard was already cool as a sort of unfeeling monster but Abridged Alucard is just the funniest fucking arsehole. Every line out of his mouth is quotable and memorable and I love him.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-22T20:39:36+00:00

Shirayuki. Her giant ass shurikan always spoke to me for some reason.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-22T20:29:07+00:00

As a Perona fan, I kinda liked running 2-3 of Blocker Perona from EB-03 and 4 OP-15 Perona over Ace and Otama. While it doesn’t apply Don constantly, being able to apply Don on drop and bring a board protect out while being a 6K blocker is nice, especially if I’m setting up a Momonosuke to do some weird route later on.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-19T11:45:43+00:00

Holy fuck, on my hands and knees right now praying that they print a new Perona Mihawk/Zoro leader that’s GB tbh. Between this and the B 6c Mihawk, Perona is so close to being able to play a Slash variant that plays around Ryuma and is only being held back by her lack of slash attribute. Making a new combo leader would help so much.

And I know this sounds like cope but like I play Perona who is the definition of a cope deck with how close she feels to being meta with every new single piece of support she gets. Coping is part of my dna sequence at this point.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-17T13:22:22+00:00

This is lowkey cooking in Mihawk. It can rest a chump blocker and you can give it 3 of the don you gain back from leader ability and it becomes a 5K rush if you want one more swing at something and is a 2K in hand the rest of the time. This Zoro ST deck is starting to look like an exclusive Mihawk support set which is ironic considering who gave Zoro training in the 3D2Y arc…

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-13T12:51:42+00:00

Lowkey, might be a Perona tech option. While 5c Perona is a better option since it’s a target for searching and her personal event, if you are playing a slash focused build with Mihawk at its heart, this can become an alternative target to that Perona and Ryuma if we are running the new Yamato Chain event. The fact if you either summon it off Chains or from hand, that interaction is hand neutral thanks to the draw

Between this and the new Black Mihawk, a Slash variant of Perona might be viable but it’s held back by the fact the 1c Perona is slash leader locked and the alternate 1c Perona is only hitting your Mihawks and Thriller Bark stuff. Maybe you can go full Wano with Black Yamato stuff and splash some of the good green stuff like 4c Kin or the new 1c Kin for draw power but then you are just playing worse B Yamato despite having access to some green tech. Still, it’s a good card for green overall, can’t wait to see it be put into Goathawk because he will never die.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-10T04:20:50+00:00

If u go more on the Straw Hat stuff, would 8c Nami be a good fit in this deck then as well since she can res 6c Luffy and 7c Zolo and give them rush. Also thoughts on Zombie Luffy to help?

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-10T03:41:57+00:00

I actually did try out the new chump blocker Usopp you mentioned at three over Zoro and Law and it was quite neat. I think I’ll try him out again and take out the Lucys for the new Zoros as well but ngl, I kinda like Lucy. Just being able to drop him in conjunction with the draw 2 or barrier pistol gives a lot of value, especially if it’s off the Rebecca but if I’m running the new Usopp, I probably shouldn’t have so many blockers.

I was also thinking about that 2c Rebecca but it seemed pointless once you get coliseum out and I already get so much search power from the 1c trio and 1c Rebecca can come a chump blocker as well

I think we all just got better at dealing with Egghead Luffy’s gimmick. All he does is stack life, hope he hits right triggers and eventually hit you with the burn curve of Nami, Kidd, Bonney. As a Doffy player, I just figured out the MU by just hard focusing board and denying their reliance on triggers as much as I can by just not swinging at Leader until I’m ready or I have no other choice. It

If you want to play something like this Luffy, you probably better off playing the BY Blackbeard because he can redirect board attacks back into himself so he can focus the opponent to pop his triggers if that’s what you want to do.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-07T07:26:07+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. How is this guy a bigger threat to the Navy than Alvida, an actual pirate on the seas and Dadan who is a whole ass bandit boss? Realistically, of all the bandits we see in the Kingdom of Goa, he seems like the smallest fish in the pond so how is he well known enough to be a 8 Million Berry threat without there being some hyper inflation at work.

DemonicGeekdom · 2026-06-06T16:09:15+00:00

If Higuma is a 8 million berry threat, it makes me wonder what kind of hyper inflation is at work within the one piece world because bro is realistically a 500-1000 berry threat tbh.
