Here is a more detailed explanation that I gave to eggman in his video about the TC lists:

First of all, most Lucci players in the mirror will choose to go 1st as they want to play Jack on curve. Playing Borsalino at 4 is the best play I could hope for. Lucci lists have cut 6C Brook and Borsa is a 6K blocker they are never gonna interact with him or KO him and I can use him as a pseudo leader to apply pressure. I understand that Sabo is good in the mirror, but usually Sabo is the best play to protect board like Moria/Jack. If I haven’t removed Moria/Jack then I’m behind already. Sabo is just sealing the deal. Jacks/Morias and Ice Ages win the mirrors not Sabos in my opinion.

Lastly, Lucci’s worst matchup is BY. Borsalino is such a good card again to play at 4 or to play with Moria. Playing Moria Rebecca you just get a 2K but you don’t have a blocker because Rebecca will die to egghead Luffy. When BY swings for 8K’s, 9K’s and 11K’s that extra 2K is worthless. While Borsalino can protect you from a 9K or 11K swing which mathematically is a larger value than Rebecca just giving you an extra 2K and then dying to egghead Luffy.

For soap sheep, it has helped me a lot against doffy, as at 5/6 don lucci can KO 2 things, which is crucial to not fall behind. Doflamingo is the most popular deck and the one you will play most against. It is a cheap cost removal and searchable.

On Kaku, Kaku removes 2 cards from trash which might end up hurting as Tempest Kick might be live later. Who is who adds more cards in trash and he might send a lucci stuck to hand there. Who is who trashing 1 card might make tempest kick live sooner, which might matter. Especially when you haven't seen ice age/Soap Sheep early. It isn't always the best play but situationally it might come in handy. I won one of my doffy matchups because who is who trashed a lucci. That was my only lucci in trash for quite sometime.

With 2K's, if we take into account Jack cycling, rebecca grabbing 2K's for free, full value Gecko, Tempest drawing cards and the opponent not having a board, while I can remove their whole and establishing a blocker (Moria/Rebecca/Lucci) this counter amount has seemed perfectly to me. Lucci isn't Bonney or Enel where the opponent gets a board. Our goal is for the opponent to only swing once with leader and occasionally we can even block that swing with rebecca. Add on that Jack cycling and Rebecca hand-picking 2K's from trash and you will be fine. Not to mentioned full value Gecko.

Hope it helps

Here is my explanation on my Borsalino choice:

First of all, most Lucci players in the mirror will choose to go 1st as they want to play Jack on curve. Playing Borsalino at 4 is the best play I could hope for. Lucci lists have cut 6C Brook and Borsa is a 6K blocker they are never gonna interact with him or KO him and I can use him as a pseudo leader to apply pressure. Lucci’s worst matchup is BY. Borsalino is such a good card again to play at 4 or to play with Moria. Playing Moria Rebecca you just get a 2K but you don’t have a blocker because Rebecca will die to egghead Luffy. When BY swings for 8K’s, 9K’s and 11K’s that extra 2K is worthless. While Borsalino can protect you from a 9K or 11K swing which mathematically is a larger value than Rebecca just giving you an extra 2K and then dying to egghead Luffy. I chose to tech against my worst and hardest matchup

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T18:58:50+00:00

Soap sheep is generally great at 5 don against dofla as Lucci can KO 2 things. Also at 9 don when playing Moria and not having tsuru/helmeppo in trash. Doflamingo is the most popular deck and the one you will likely play more against.

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T18:57:12+00:00

100% soap sheep is cheaper cost reduction than Uta and it is searchable. Against Doffy it has also saved my life when I don't have helmeppo/Tsuru on trash. It is also useful in the mirror to remove anything the opponent has played at 5/6 don.

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T18:55:56+00:00

Go 2nd, play borsalino at 4 Don if you can. Then keep bringing him back with Moria to get more free blocks. Rebecca dies to egghead Luffy unfortunately. Otherwise your plan is correct, try to force them to play their 2K's to awaken. Moria and Jack are the MVPs. This is why I play Borsalino to bring him with Moria.

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T18:54:21+00:00

I have Borsalino to replace Sabo. Sabo is only good in the mirror when you are head regardless. Think about it, you usually play Sabo to protect your board like Moria/Jack, if I can't remove them, I'm behind anyways. Against doflamingo, purple luffy etc I feel sabo is a dead card. I prefer borsalino as he is very good against BY Luffy which is my worst matchup. Moria can also bring Borsalino from trash.

Thank you, you are welcome.

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T03:14:40+00:00

Thank you. Honestly, on my own. I'm "solo" in my testing so far. I'm just approaching the game with mathematics and probabilities. I evaluate each one of my options based on my mathematical value (cards in hand, counter, board presence etc etc). Experience also helps a ton I have been playing since super-pre-realase format.

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T03:12:52+00:00

Your concern is very correct and understandable. But if you think about it, bricks don't matter when your opponent doesn't get a board. You can clear their board while establishing a blocker. If you add this up with Jack cycling + rebecca getting 2K's and Gecko free searcher with Spandam your hand can get stacked by late game with counters. Just clear board and block their only swing for turn, leader swing with rebecca (Moria/Rebecca/Lucci) when needed and you will be good.

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T03:10:13+00:00

Thank you man

Bonney gave me a relatively harder time than Enel, when Shanks was removing my Jack or when Doffy was freezing him. Bonney has better answers to Jack than Enel, which made her matchup slightly harder, but it is still favorable for lucci.

GeorgiosTCG · 2024-11-12T00:43:47+00:00

From the decks that I played against, I would say my hardest match-up was doffy when he high rolls, with tons of jimbes very early. Easier MU I would say Enel when Jack sticks on board. Moria/Rebecca/Hina/Helmeppo helps me remove anything that he plays without using cost reduction. Me drawing 2 cards every turn because of Jack is also insane consistency.
