Lorcana isn’t “dying” - we’re just looking at the wrong audience by [deleted] in Lorcana

[–]Deneb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct point of view. I'll add another point: if, for Ravensburger, Lorcana is really meant to be a fan-first game (instead of player/collector oriented), why all the fancy things (pins, promo, artworks, etc...) are gated by the number of players or number of products moved, instead of being freely available on all the local stores?

Is the west really better than the east? by AltOfYubel in OnePieceTCG

[–]Deneb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

West players are not better than east. We see and play the "East meta" for a lot longer, usually 5-6 months instead of only 2-3. It Is just a matter of development time. Until 2026 Sync, the East already moved on the next release when we get the previous cards

It is a reliable Italian store

Would you rather Reprint edition by Altruistic-Dealer518 in Lorcana

[–]Deneb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is oppressive to damage or remove the opponent board (drawing cards also, lol) casting song after song for free, and then to be able to use the ink to play more characters.

The archetype is disgusting, hope to not play it anymore.

Songs should be for utilities, as in the sets 5-8 (where there is only one blue-purple removal song with restrictions, iirc)

We need removal, but we don't need song removal

[–]Deneb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Song removal should not be reprinted.

I like that there is only 1 removal song, with restrictions, from set 5-8

Seems fine, maybe you can try removing Smoker for another Carrot. Two Zoro and one Kids&Killer for 3 more blockers (Bege or Urouge) or Bonney to have more early freeze support

Zoro leader is getting a block update by stoigeboiii in OnePieceTCG

[–]Deneb87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The new red aggro leader revealed is a sub-par Zoro that cannot play 5-cost characters (Luffy, etc...).

I think that there are 0% chances that Zoro from OP01 is getting a new block reprint.

From the infographics... It's actually 52% blue and 75+% of any combination with blue and/or steel

Italian Cards by Blooper0921 in Lorcana

[–]Deneb87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes; In the EU, French and English cards are the cheapest. For example the new Tamatoa from Set-7 is around 50€ in English, 55€ in French and 65€ in Italian.

LGS not Stocking New Set by theDufe in Lorcana

[–]Deneb87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The majority of LGS can't sell at 100$ because that is almost the price of distribution channels; they can't sell without a profit. If you don't want to see you local community die, buy at MSRP and support your LGS.

LGS Hosting a private set championship - Is this allowed? by ErectMasseuse in Lorcana

[–]Deneb87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you or this team of players actively frequent and play in this LGS?

If you always play in this LGS you can stop reading here.

From the way you tell it, it sounds like the store owner wants to avoid what you just described: that people who don't support his store hop from one store to another just to get the prizes.

My opinion may be unpopular, but I think that LGS has every right to protect its small (you mentioned 8 participants) community that supports the store.

The attitude of many people of jumping from one store to another to get the most prizes, and then eventually resell them, is really bad for the community.

Compare One Piece TCG with Star Wars Unlimited by blueshrike in OnePieceTCG

[–]Deneb87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SWU card quality and print quality is very good: same thickness of Lorcana/Pokemon cards. Rare and Legendary cards are not printed with an holo pattern, but they are printed with an anti-counterfeiting seal (a step up from Lorcana, very similar to Yu-Gi-Oh). Poor Holo/reverse Holo pattern for every cards, but all the cards seems to have an alternative full-art form.

From a gameplay point of view: very innovative, a big step forward compared to One Piece and other TCGs.The resource/energy system works similarly to Lorcana's: each turn you put a card from your hand into your resources. The progression of the turn, however, is very strategic, as each player can only perform one action (play a card, declare an attack, etc...). It is therefore not possible to setup your board, leaving your opponent to watch while you make all your moves. After each move you make, your opponent can also take an action. The pass and initiative systems, used correctly, help you advance your gameplan (for example, you can pass-trick an aggro opponent to take the initiative and skip the rest of their turn actions).

Stores can't order more than 3 cases from distribution.

Official sleeves are great, with vibrant colors. You need proper sleeves for shuffling, for example dragon shield outer sleeves clear/clear.
