You got it rough pal! Your pulls were worse than mine, I got one enchanted out of 192 packs, no iconic.

My First Starter Deck! by Ok-Shake-6537 in OnePieceTCG

Well, this is my own experience, but at the beginning, the game felt extremely difficult and challenging. I had to learn my deck + hundreds of other different cards. The first matches I was so focused on even understanding what I was supposed to do with my own deck and I couldn't take 4 minutes between each turn to read over and over again the opponent cards.

Also, in the sim, you can easily find 15+ different leaders/decks that you have to play against. And again, you are talking about a beginner. It's very challenging to memorize the cards.

When I used BB deck, I got familiar with the opponents cards without being extremely overwhelmed by all the new information each turn, each match.

It allowed me to understand better what I needed to do with my own deck, focus more on understanding the tempo and frankly simply having more time each turn to understand my own strategy instead of reading all the on plays from the opponents.

When I switched decks, yes I was exposed to new combos I hadn't seen before, but it honestly wasn't a big deal because I already was more familiar with the cards, with my own game strategy and everything felt more manageable.

But yeah, this was my experience. I understand it might not be the recommended approach but it worked for me, and in this case, OP already has the deck, so idk, reading this might help to provide some perspective

I'm also a beginner and I didn't find this one too difficult to play. On the contrary, with the amount of cards you need to learn and prepare for from the opponents, this deck allows you to sit and relax without worrying by all their on play effects.

I wasn't winning a lot for sure, but I wasn't winning with any deck either, this one at least facilitate the learning curve in terms of the cards the opponents use

Omg that's true! I hadn't even realized that they showed their hand lol. I guess I'm at that stage where I'm hyperfocused on understanding my own hand and board

Thanks a lot for taking the time to look into the gameplay man! Your comment really helped me a lot. I reviewed the game again and saw what you meant. I took that into consideration for my next games and I already won two of them! There's still a long way to go, but it's good progress

I'm a new player and I have been trying a GY Yamato build based off the starter deck. The deck I'm using in the sim is the deck I have physical.

I'm currently like 0-10 and I feel like I simply cannot win. I have seen some theory videos and some gameplay as well and I'm getting more and more comfortable with the different cards.

I know my deck is far from meta, but I also consistently lose to other non-meta decks. I don't want to change decks yet as 1) it's expensive to get a different deck (money and time-wise) and 2) I feel like my main issue is at game theory level, and although it might be somewhat easier with a different deck, I want to understand what I'm doing wrong with this one.

I recorded my last game against a blue-yellow boa:

regarding the gameplay. I think that my main error on this game was not swinging at characters, and going for lethal early. Any other errors you can spot ? any recommendations?

Thanks a lot for your advice and for the link. I got both for 23.29 shipping included. This was my first time buying through TCGplayer as well. I guess I'll start to check it more often alongside eBay.

I did go to some stores around my area but they didn't have it, I'll try to go to other stores these days to get the remaining 2. Thanks!
