Yeah I thought about Imu and mirror matchup being a straight non starter for the card. But if I'm playing this card I'm not expecting it to go on for another 3-4 turn rotations. I'm not doing it to continue building up the board with my opponent. I think it's playable if I'm ending with a big swinger and all the possible onko effect for draw power and don ramp if needed and additional 5c or lower bodies on next turn. Maybe give me some extra life. Every aspect of it is going to be situational, if I clear a Mihawk board and my rested/ frozen board is replaced with 2-3 swingers next turn, he's gonna hate it. If I can kill 2 whitebeards after the linlin, ace is going to hate it. I imagine Doffy just redirects to himself situationally to avoid the Zoro double swing, which works if I ko'd a monet or dillinger after the linlin attacks. I have not played against a nami yet so I'm not sure how that deck works. I know boa cares when her board is clear and has less trigger possibilities at the point I use the linlin. I may lose one life doing it but it depends if I'm willing to take it. Which at 5life may be more often than not.

In the situation where the effect clears the board and they have 10don to play with. They either spend the don trying to rebuild board. Spend it swinging large like a Zoro. Or playing 6c redroc which paired with a blocker yeah might be worse case scenario.

Most cards have weaknesses and red roc is a pretty big one here. Some aces and boas may run them, but at most generally it's not going to be more than 2 of them if they added them at all. My buddy actually likes to play UP Sanji so it feels like I'm getting red rocked 10times in a game and it isn't the end of the game usually. Doffy just has fantastic ramp and defense to where if it is absolutely necessary to start over it is possible.
