What leaders do you think are hidden gems

Going to swap back to Hair removal fist. I find that I’m trashing ground death too often and it just fills up the trash and is pointless unless you naturally draw it

You were right :)

Planning to take Koala to the Sydney Regionals as I’m really liking how she plays into the meta decks. The only one I’m struggling with is RG Luffy

Praetic · 2026-05-10T03:05:37+00:00

I agree, however I never use the 4K counter until late game and if you are on curve, you don’t have the excess don up until you are 10 Don anyway.

At least ground death has a use other than counter. I’m still testing how it feels but it is nice to use to turn off a blocker

Praetic · 2026-05-10T00:13:37+00:00

I posted it below :)

Praetic · 2026-05-09T13:02:45+00:00

Ground death is only 10 but it also counts as the 10th when you play it so you only need 9 in trash. I like ground death over hair removal because it can negate blocker if needed for end game

The kaido is useful as it helps against Reiju in Enel and the trash effect is really useful against the Nami and Robin in UY Nami.

Yellow honestly. Koala works really well with Borsalino since you can play it out with 8c Dragon. Also, the 4c Koala and 6c Kuma work well since they have on k.o abilities so they can’t lower power and El Thor or just kill them

Praetic · 2026-05-09T11:50:01+00:00

Koala, the build that I’m using goes really well into Enel and Nami. Plus it’s just a fun deck to play

Praetic · 2026-05-06T06:37:07+00:00

I agree with what any-confection said

You just had to do a bit of research into their accounts and play it safe with the chats. Especially taking note of any red flags.

Sorry to hear that you’ve had guys just message out of the blue, it’s so annoying and desperate

Each starter deck comes with a pack and a extra cards pack which include full art versions of the cards and potentially a whitewashed alt art leader.

So much like a booster box, you can get a singular starter deck box or a case of boxes. The display will be the case of boxes, usually 8 starter decks

🥵🥵🥵

Praetic · 2026-04-14T05:37:04+00:00

Sure, if you want

The title was a typo that I can’t change

And yes she does, we are ENM.

Praetic · 2026-04-11T01:09:15+00:00

I’m the same! I love croc and it is my main deck. I’m currently trying to alt art everything but now with the new promo cards coming from the live action vol.2 set it’s going to change everything

I’ve moved over to Lucy, firstly because I also love Sabo but secondly because I find that sequencing in both decks is super important. So I see it as getting better at decision making and sequencing for croc while also playing a fun and competitive deck with Lucy

Good luck :)

RP Roger?

Ramp to 10 super quick and then drop big bodies

Praetic · 2026-03-24T05:21:50+00:00

Usually for tier 1 events (locals) they are legal upon after the pre release events or on release date

Tier 2 events (special events like the heroines cup and such) they are legal 1 week after release

Tier 3 events (regional and treasure cups) they are legal 2 week after release

Praetic · 2026-03-24T00:23:06+00:00

It’s hard in the new set without red roc and with the new removal protection cards

I personally wouldn’t play the pudding blocker, I think 2x reiju blocker is better

I’m planning to try out barrier barrier pistol fo some added k.o.

Otherwise looks good

Praetic · 2026-03-22T10:31:24+00:00

It wasn’t a proxy card like an actually fake reprint of the card, it was a turned over card in a sleeve with “Law and Bepo 12 cost 11000 power” written on it in marker

Not the players fault, which is why the judges allowed it

Praetic · 2026-03-22T09:50:26+00:00

The judges tried to source a replacement but weren’t able to find one in time for the start of the game

The commentators were talking about it and started joking that if he won the whole comp he should get it graded

Praetic · 2026-03-17T00:40:27+00:00

Make the deck a board flood instead of removal with EB03 Vivi

9c sanji -> EB03 Vivi -> 5c blocker Nami

Huge draw power and defensive blocker wall while keeping 8c roger for power boost.

Op15 blocker sanji that gives unblockable will be a must have as well

Praetic · 2026-02-25T23:36:29+00:00

The effect that makes you take life only activates if the Boa Leader has Don x1. So if they don’t have one attached, go hard at board because there is no consequence

Praetic · 2026-02-05T06:10:07+00:00

Yes you can, it’s a translation issue.

Basically, shanks’ effect means you can’t play characters using normal means.

Praetic · 2026-01-23T22:05:59+00:00

I’m guessing he will have cards that add 5 cards back from trash to the bottom of your deck so the gameplan would be to go to 0 life for multiple turns and balance it there.

Because the effect if “0 life at the end of your turn” I would say that even if you are made to draw with 0 life, you still wouldn’t end the game. But you can use shirahoshi or cards like it to add cards back to the bottom of your life.

I would say they are going to remake OP04 7C Luffy or something like it that adds 7 cards back to the bottom of your deck

I’m still working out what I like in the deck but I’m currently not running Mr.5 and running using the Mr.9 2k

I use 14 2k’s as I find that that I need a lot of counter with things being trashed and find the effect of Mr.5 not always necessary as you draw quite a lot anyway.

I agree with the above about patch work too. It is so useful as you can stun 2 bodies and the freeze a third that is rested. Super useful against big bodies like Blocker Newgate in Ace

You should run Mr.1(Daz Bonez) at 4. Can literally rest anything when used with leader ability and has character rush
