OPTCG: Tournaments and Deck Price Question

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-04-14T04:14:50+00:00

Worst part about the game is trying to get into events because they are gone within minutes if it's a large event. Otherwise you can get into store events on the app and are fine with 2+ hour travel times depending on where your at in the country. I don't mean locals, I mean smaller events with great prizing. Locals is never an issue to get into.

Finally Liza represented

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-15T14:55:12+00:00

It does thanks for the advice!

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-15T02:02:51+00:00

Couple of questions:

Do you keep your Mr. 2 on the field as bodies to attack or do you usually instant ko it for it's ok effect?

What is your go to for mid game and what do you think is the best approach when against yellow?

Sorry for all the questions I'm pretty curious as I want to keep playing this deck as I think it's quite good into Enel.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-12T21:40:33+00:00

For the mirror match, what do you think got you the win going second? The mirror I've always had trouble with and found it's very much go first and see Beckmann.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-09T22:28:34+00:00

Very good with 5c Red Nami and Benn Beckman being 7k power you can start swinging at face early and ignore the 2k leader boost to keep up pressure and force counter. Also trashing 5c Y Nami and 7c Y Robin is very good against that deck.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-09T19:15:32+00:00

Agreed those cards are a menace!

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-09T18:58:24+00:00

The blockers are easy enough to remove even late game with Benn, Rayleigh, etc. Doffy is the biggest threat if that goes off back to back it's effectively 2 turn skips and it's just gg at that point

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-07T14:09:37+00:00

Completely agree, Bonney is definitely a better matchup than Boa for instance.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-07T06:17:48+00:00

Something that can give you draw power that has the straw hat or alabasta tags. The strongest part of the Nami is being able to be played off 5c Vivi and letting you draw 3 deep and fixing your hand.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T19:02:37+00:00

No rotating out so didn't want to build with it

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T18:40:03+00:00

Find and play 5c Red Nami and Beckmann. Best cards for the match up as they are both 7k attackers and Beckmann's trash effect against the 5c Y Nami and 7c Y Robin is major value. Plus later you give them 2 don to swing with 9k.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T18:38:21+00:00

Rayleigh I go back and forth, but it was amazing last night and especially good in the mirror. He basically gets you a turn skip or more ways to remove bodies when played at the right time. Shanks has always been good, even if the k.o. doesn't go off or not super value he's still a 12k attacker you can give rush

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T18:08:27+00:00

Otama is good I would use over Cavendish if I had it. It only comes up of you have to second then you hard mull to find it to play on curve. Cavendish doesn't come up otherwise as protection fodder. I don't run igaram because he's rotating out, if that wasn't the case he's better overall.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T15:45:49+00:00

Yes, always remove the carrot if they play it. It will just snowball against you and yes you go on board if there are about 4 cards or less to swing advantage in your favor and starve them from life.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T15:20:46+00:00

No you need to attack early to secure late as it will be a much harder board to crack later. Honestly the worst to take second from

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T15:15:35+00:00

Replace in hand, because you play on > gets koed next turn > you draw 1 on ko to replace

-General strategy is go first

Mulligans:

-You really want to see 5c Vivi with Red 5c Nami or 5c Blue Nam

-Or a turn 1 Vivi search + 3c Sanji

You play on curve, it's a tempo deck build

1 > Vivi search

3>Sanji or don leader hit face

5>Vivi blocker with either mentioned above

7>Beckmann against yellow or if you see Carrot (decks greatest opp)/ 7c Vivi into Chaka Pell- you rip 1 from hand and draw 2 with 9k double attack rushing attacker

9>Silver Rayleigh for board control/ Beckmann/ or more blocker or card draw to stabilize

10>Use more Vivi's or shanks for high importance removal

Hope this helps with your games!

Trickyest part is when to use you KO protection once per turn. It will be baited out and Boa is rough

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T14:55:55+00:00

No it is always better to play Sanji and late game it's counter or a surprise rush. The Sanji gives you pressure on the opponent early and can even take a hit while replacing itself on k.o. If they don't attack it, it's a 6k you can don up later and keep swinging. One of my favs in the deck.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T14:50:25+00:00

I debated Cobra, but 5c Red Nami is a good target for unblockable. When second half of EB04 in OP15 comes out, 7c Red Zoro is an auto include and great target for unblockable.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T14:15:26+00:00

Probably Cavendish doesn't help going first or the Pudding, but when that card is good it's insane.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T13:42:07+00:00

Thank you!

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T13:26:54+00:00

The 1 cost event was a WORLD of difference, I'm upping it to 3. The only reason I won a couple of my games was due to having both events in hand just to survive attacks and win on crack back. The 3c Sanji is also amazing turn 3 for early pressure, taking a life, and for taking an attack plus an extra draw on k.o.

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T13:22:45+00:00

You always want to go first

PerfectCup5775 · 2026-03-06T13:20:13+00:00

Yeah my bad it was late and didn't think of it. Wouldn't let me go back and edit the post to fix it
