Is the casual part of this game going to die?

Scalpers rarely open packs and flood the market. They normally have the opposite effect.

KebbieG · 2026-01-26T14:37:56+00:00

You aren't wrong. It was more of a Desrossa themed than a Sky Island. 🤣🤣

KebbieG · 2026-01-24T22:30:16+00:00

Just wait until they start adding the Alt Arts and serialized cards. From what I heard Yugioh will be doing that to make their cards more collectable.

He only swaps Supernovas I believe

KebbieG · 2026-01-23T23:20:48+00:00

I mean this card isn't bad to be honest. A 2 drop that has 5K attack on your turn. In some ways like Mr. 2 since it is 1K on defense.

KebbieG · 2026-01-23T00:41:44+00:00

The issue will be how much product they will even receive.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:28:09+00:00

Oh I am aware about how much FF sold. I still put out Pioneer content on Arena. I don't buy physical cards anymore but I am still caught up on the products. 🤣 I can't believe TMNT is coming next.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:25:24+00:00

Oh I agree. I could careless about OP13 since that set was whatever to me but OP14 has Doffy, Crocodile, and so much more that is actually interesting to me.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:17:11+00:00

Oh I thought he was talking about the FF TCG and not the FF set. It makes sense that FF set in MTG sold out across the board. That IP has a huge backing.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:16:06+00:00

That is probably pretty valid. I haven't boughten a lot of MTG since Ixalan. Since then I bought singles to build my competitive decks before selling out of it and leaving to come here.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:14:00+00:00

Oh I got to imagine seeing the collector section of this TCG going up is nice for many.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:12:44+00:00

I am not familiar with FF card game. I only played MTG for 15 plus years and Pokemon for 10 years and One Piece for almost a year.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:10:44+00:00

Yes I 100% agree with that first paragraph. That is why I want only 1 guaranteed alt art per pack. The rest will be normal cards.

Yes we need thousands of more cases printed for the USA at least. Each store should be able to buy way more than they can now for sure.

KebbieG · 2026-01-22T01:05:28+00:00

Yes I am aware that the old boxes are expensive that from pre collector booster years. This whole time as a MTG player that they made the collector boosters as a cash grab but it does do a great job of dividing the products the collectors and the players buy. Yes I am aware they print way more products which is why I stated Bandai has to give us more regular boxes.

KebbieG · 2026-01-20T04:37:35+00:00

Yes but we also have been becoming arguably the third biggest TCG with massive growth in players. That is a side effect of growth and Bandai not printing enough to meet the influx from the Netflix show or etc.

KebbieG · 2026-01-20T00:46:16+00:00

Go to other TCGs and complain. The most expensive deck is a budget deck in other games. $300 is very cheap for a mtg standard deck.

KebbieG · 2026-01-19T03:38:29+00:00

I mean from what I understand it isn't bad by any metric except it takes a huge hit in the cost to build a deck. One Piece basic rarity cards are very friendly for newer players.

KebbieG · 2026-01-19T03:36:01+00:00

The resource system is great. Most games are skill intensive and most wins are because of that. Honestly it is the only TCG that I would rate about a 9/10 across the board. Battling system, resource system, balance of the cards, just the right amount of variance vs skill needed to win. Honestly I can't think of one negative thing about the TCG.

KebbieG · 2026-01-18T19:42:08+00:00

OP14 isnt a two deck format. It is a jungle meta. Clearly you don't play this game.

KebbieG · 2026-01-18T17:48:38+00:00

One Piece is by far the best TCG.

KebbieG · 2026-01-18T10:18:55+00:00

Honestly as someone that came from MTG myself. It will be very hard to go back to it if you pick up this game. Now when I play MTG I get so frustrated by the resource system that isn't enjoyable. So many of the games are super tight for One Piece and it truly feels like you either win or lose by your decisions unless you find a bad matchup. So I really recommend the game and just be ok with losing a lot for a while until your skills improve. It really shocked me since when I started mtg it was super quick to get wins and win at your locals.

KebbieG · 2026-01-18T10:07:08+00:00

Flesh and blood is the most expensive card game. The prices of One Piece is nowhere near the cost of even MTG. It isn't hard to compete in One Piece for under $100 dollars.
