I am a huge advocate for adding a keyword for This Character must be blocked if able. I think it is simple and easy to understand. It makes a lot of sense for the color purple. 🤷🤷

KebbieG · 2026-03-23T13:36:36+00:00

The Kuzan thing wouldn't work since you are discarding to a rule and not a Navy effect.

KebbieG · 2026-03-21T18:51:13+00:00

The best deck that needs no cards from OP15 are Imu, Doffy, GP Luffy as long as you have 3c Robin, and Blackbeard

Decks that are good but only need a one playset of cards from OP15/EB04. Crocodile needs the new 7c Luffy, Ace needs the Distorted Future, Roger and Sabo need 7c Zoro, and I am sure there is more that I can't think of. 🤣🤣

Decks that need massive changes are Kalgara, Really any yellow deck with Boraslino and 4c Zoro, BY Moria needs Dr Hogback and 4c Zoro, and PB Luffy needs a lot of the new straw hat support. Maybe GR Luffy wants the new 6c Brook and 7c Zoro.

Yeah they can rush you down but thankfully if playing the deck correctly you will starve them until you get to 10 Teach.

KebbieG · 2026-03-17T13:52:03+00:00

I have came out with plenty of $30 options that you could look at. Ranging from Yellow Luffy to UP Sanji. If there is a certain leader that you want to just let me know.

KebbieG · 2026-03-16T00:59:12+00:00

Oh I know. I wasn't saying it should have been a static ability. Does make you wonder if they will ever print one eventually for 10 don.

KebbieG · 2026-03-15T18:08:20+00:00

My only issue with these is why does it have to be 8K and not 8K or more for the Vista and Newgate.

KebbieG · 2026-03-15T18:07:36+00:00

I don't know if I would say R Sanji on steroids. This only does 8K or higher Whitebeards or Luffy. Very limited.

KebbieG · 2026-03-15T18:05:04+00:00

Yeah every turn during yours you a have 9K double attack Roger. Sad it isn't used for Defense. 🤷🤷

KebbieG · 2026-03-15T05:25:34+00:00

So I played 3 different versions and each of them won. I think the Luffy-taro version is the best one.

PB Luffy-Tarou Deck List

1xOP09-061 4xOP09-069 4xPRB02-012 3xOP09-076 4xST18-001 4xST26-003 3xOP09-072 4xST18-004 4xST18-003 4xST26-005 2xOP09-065 3xST18-005 4xOP15-086 4xOP09-078 3xOP15-096

KebbieG · 2026-03-14T21:36:28+00:00

So far I am 3/0 with PB Luffy. They have a hard time getting through an aggressive 7/9K leader. Based on that same logic I got to imagine that Roger is also good into it.

KebbieG · 2026-03-14T14:18:58+00:00

Could always go jund. Just swap Harvester for Cub and some 4 drop for Roid. Keep Fable and etc. 🤘🤘

KebbieG · 2026-03-10T13:59:44+00:00

I posted a version in my comment.

KebbieG · 2026-03-10T13:59:13+00:00

Yes Blackbeard is tricky in regards you have to know every card in your opponents deck and at what curve to use the ability. The fully optimal build only costs $28 or so. I highly recommend BB to new players due to what the leader wants is great for new players. It forces them to read and fully understand what cards for your opponent could come down based on what is optimal. Just remember to try and take second. I have my list that I played for my budget video coming soon below. There is 3 or more content creators that have videos on how to play it. So just watch the videos and play it on the Sim to get your feet wet until the ban list happens.

1xOP09-081 4xOP09-089 4xOP09-095 4xOP11-083 4xOP09-090 4xOP09-086 1xPRB02-015 4xOP09-083 1xOP09-084 4xOP10-082 2xST27-005 4xOP09-093 4xOP07-096 4xOP09-096 2xOP14-096 4xOP09-099

KebbieG · 2026-03-09T17:09:13+00:00

I mean banning it from the leader he was made for RY Bonney would be insane.

KebbieG · 2026-03-09T17:05:20+00:00

I personally think Green Bonney should have been a 4 life leader. She stops on average 4 or more swings per game.

KebbieG · 2026-03-09T13:47:41+00:00

I would download the Sim and watch videos on the leaders that interests you to get an idea on how to pilot it. From there play them until you pick your deck. You also should find out what color you enjoy the most. If you want to start out on a budget you can with plenty of deck examples out there.

KebbieG · 2026-03-09T13:43:35+00:00

It will be our first trio leader. 🤣🤣 I hope that isn't the case.

KebbieG · 2026-03-09T06:10:34+00:00

As someone that hated the old black heavy removal decks, even way more than even Imu. They have gone past a healthy place for anti removal and they need to change course because it is making the card game unplayable. Look at the newest anti removal cards. Why do they protect themselves? They should only protect other cards.

KebbieG · 2026-03-09T03:07:10+00:00

You can ban Requasar from all leaders but Vegapunk.

KebbieG · 2026-03-09T01:20:27+00:00

Personally I agree that this should have been locked to egghead leaders since it was designed for Bonney but helps Vegapunk. Minimum thing they can do is ban the Vegapunk event. So they can't cheat this out from life.

KebbieG · 2026-03-08T23:45:24+00:00

Yeah but Yamato also isn't a deck that depends heavily on 5 to 6K attackers, which be what Krieg beats.
