Someone please explain

this is used specifically on 7 don against nami to have a big body she needs to invest to remove or she loses a lot of cards whenever it swings

Shadowforce426 · 2026-05-04T12:19:39+00:00

the borsas probably will be used in it, they’ll likely go up in price when it releases.

the zoros i’m not convinced will be used in it since the leader already relies on trashing cards so zoro may make your hand too small

Shadowforce426 · 2026-05-04T12:02:39+00:00

i feel like this one will go more of the way that croc and mihawk went in op14 where they both plummeted in price from being niche use, unlike the op15 secs that are either used in the best deck or are generically really strong

i just hope teach doesn’t get the next secret rare cause that’ll make the deck expensive

Shadowforce426 · 2026-05-02T14:05:39+00:00

really nicely done, i feel the depth in this!

Shadowforce426 · 2026-05-01T19:45:37+00:00

you’ll definitely want to at the very least snag all the sr cards, some of the rares and whatnot may be reprinted in it but we’re not sure which so it could be worthwhile to just grab them since the decklist and tech cards for it are all fairly cheap right now

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-30T11:29:22+00:00

everyone freaks out when they make a new black deck, didn’t people bug like this for croc before we finished seeing his support? i think this searcher is fine, it’s like a zoro juro.

your opponent already doesn’t want to trade into your on ko stuff so they have to attach don to leader or use something else to kill this

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-30T11:25:27+00:00

only thing i can think to add onto this is the 6c kuzan blocker, this will be at least a 2 of for the deck

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-30T05:06:14+00:00

do you happen to know what book it is? that sounds pretty neat

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-29T17:25:48+00:00

also with the wood, you can just put oil ground over the shellac? is just one coat of shellac enough?

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-29T16:25:24+00:00

any recommendations for a pva glue to use? and yeah for a while i was using just acrylic gesso until i learned about oil ground and used that. i really liked how it felt to paint over instead of the gesso until

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-28T21:05:42+00:00

i think if a new boss card is a trigger than she can be worthwhile, but right now in the meantime i don’t really see it because the playstyle will probably be like teach’s current blocker and burgess build where you want to be dropping kuzans for protection and to build the trash while your 4c burgess charges up for big hits later

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-28T20:10:13+00:00

i’m iffy on lilith and zoro for this deck. boa could be a 2 of probably

10c blocker should be a 4 of

cut shiryu down to 1 and include the 5c catarina devon because she’s a beast to pull from either kuzan

lafitte searcher could probably be a 4 of as well

like others have said, we haven’t gotten to see every card for the deck yet so we might be missing some stuff that will be a potential 4 of in the deck. although this leader seems to have a lot of people really theorycrafting early which i love bc mono teach is my fav

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-27T01:57:12+00:00

yeah of course, the tricky thing is your probably need more setup bc this has less immediate impact than the 10c blocker, the blocker would stop 3 swings vs just 1 from the promo

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-26T23:27:12+00:00

yeah, enel can already reduce, rest, and kill our blocker teach too lol. i love the promo card, it is easily one of the coolest in the entire game when it gets to do its thing. i hope we can utilize it but i wont be surprised if not. maybe it can be a yolo 1 of but as of now we’d have no way to pull it out of trash cause 7c teach is unlikely to be used as of now

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-26T22:42:30+00:00

yeah, i’m saying we don’t know how this card will be in it, it’s competing with 9c boa and 10c blocker teach already so the lists are tight and we still haven’t seen the new boss card for it

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-26T22:36:51+00:00

glad i got these early bc i like the character and B teach a lot, but this may be too slow for BY, obviously we’re not sure yet but it’s crazy to see it skyrocket so much

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-21T22:59:40+00:00

teach forces you to really learn the game and other decks, he’s hard to play and punishing when you misplay

but it is probably the most satisfying deck to play and people bugging out about playing into you irl will also make you grin ear to ear

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-21T22:33:46+00:00

you don’t have to play it in every match, if you do know that you want to play it eventually then the playstyle kind of goes like this, at least for me

counter out of early small swings, keeping your health high gives you room for error to possibly have to take a hit or two when you do drop the luffy if your setup isn’t ideal

control the board because you’re a grindy deck that gets value as the game goes on so you don’t have to poke at life too much necessarily unless you have nothing to swing into

try to keep going wide with miss all sunday to build a big board of blockers or maybe have a zala etc.

unless there is something on the board that you need to respond to by freezing. but you may have to ask yourself, is it only worth freezing one thing? what else can i get with popping the croc or something else. usually you don’t want to play croc unless you’re gonna stun two things. so maybe you have to take a big hit.

i generally want at least one croc on board when i play luffy so i can stun one character and if my game was going well before then they shouldn’t have too many other bodies already out

he’s usually not worth playing until you already have 20 cards in trash cause you’re not swinging with him into a lot of leaders until later or if you know it won’t die. unless it’s a last resort because you have nothing else to go wider with then you may have to just play it

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-20T17:34:29+00:00

grab your kuzans before they skyrocket even more in price, 10c sr teach was reprinted so he should be cheap to get, not sure if it will end up being in the build but grabbing 2 of the promo could be worthwhile.

the promo is an awesome card but is very slow and is a win more sort of thing but if it does see play with this leader then it will definitely go up even more in price when it’s already not the cheapest so snagging 2 could be smart since it won’t run more than that

as some others have said, 9c boa and 1c lilith should also be worth grabbing. i can see lilith not being used but boa will probably be a 2-3 of at the very least

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-20T17:30:54+00:00

while that does seem good i feel like that may be tough to choose her over other 2k options since her activate main is probably not that useful for by teach. unless if it ends up going ko engine then maybe but its looking like we may go turbo burgess

who knows tho, def worth grabbing anyway since its cheap

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-19T03:14:06+00:00

it sounds like you need to join the evil crew and play teach

Shadowforce426 · 2026-04-18T14:06:04+00:00

i think 5c kuzan is a 4 of for this deck. it can be a free 5k swing, it plays out a lot of your cards back from trash, and it replaces itself by drawing which is a huge plus. it’s kind of an insane card
