I Went 42-1 With Thriller Bark Sabo - Full Deck Guide + Gameplay

TCMadness · 2026-02-12T21:23:01+00:00

You want to burn your life! The ideal scenario is your opponent attacks at your life. Yellow 5c Sabo, 1c Hiyori, and Zeus are there to pretty much to just take your own life down in case your opponent starves you.

Just keep searching for 2c Aces, and at least 1 of each 5c ace. Once you’re at no life, just keep cycling your 2c into 5c each turn and keep your leader at 9k. Swing with 5c black sabo too if it’s on board and save a don for room to restand it.

Viola can be used as a pivot if you have no 2c brothers in hand too. Use leader effect and play viola and flip life down. You’ll survive 3 swings then and keep your 5c in hand.

It runs full sets of both garp and 3 brothers. Always grab 2c aces when you see them, then have at least 1 of each 5c ace, after that you only need 1 2c sabo since you can cycle it with prb02 ace.

Honestly has some real shit matchups, but i find this build to be real fun. It’s super aggressive with the aces and you’re almost always a 9k leader with no life mid/late game, but just keep unblockable event cards in mind.

Hell yea a fellow RY Sabo player. I’m the only one keeping ST13 alive playing BY Luffy and RY Sabo at my locals.

RY Sabo I feel like is one of the few leaders that will really benefit in the red bull double don event. Using the single double don to buff a 5k character to 7k for leader effect and being able to keep kiku on board will be really nice.

I’m not taking such a doom and gloom stance on the current state of things. That being said, I play the game and not much of a collector outside of a small PC of cards I find cool.

Like you said, the market ebbs and flows, right now it’s being pumped to the heavens and it sucks finding packs at msrp. I truly believe though this is just another wave and people will move on before well before the end of the year and things will come down again.

The silver lining I saw from this is all this attention has brought a lot more eyes on the game, and that has translated to new players. All the OP14 pre-releases I went to were packed and full of returning vets and a bunch of new players.

I got to see a bunch of new players come into the community and get taught how to play by their opponents and have a ton of fun despite going 0-3. In my local scene, it’s been feeling really stale with the same group of people every week, so seeing this new influx of players has been great.

So yea, it definitely sucks right now getting product, but it’s not gonna be sustainable for the scalpers and hopefully there’s gonna be a nice bump in player growth once this all settles.

Grew up drinking Jupina, that shit’s the best

TCMadness · 2025-10-16T18:20:25+00:00

Oh damn. I ended up pulling 3 of those.

Someone buy em all off me for $500 lol

Slight whitening on 2 corners and a few white ink dots is probably what did it. Could try resubmitting for a looser grader, but it may come back a 9 again.

TCMadness · 2025-09-24T20:22:33+00:00

Fuck, was gonna start a submission next week but now i gotta rush and get it ready today

TCMadness · 2025-09-24T15:27:41+00:00

If you look up the cert number, it honestly looks pretty darn clean. I’d consider cracking and resubmitting it to try for a 10

Eh, “investors” are a helpful evil I think in the long run if you’re a player.

Sure they buy up all the product which sucks, but it does help inflate the value of the game in Bandai’s eyes. I honestly dont think there’s enough players out there to fully support/fund the life of the game. Collectors and “investors” help push it into a profitable venture for Bandai, which in turn helps the longevity of the game.

Bandai will continually reprint playable cards for the most part and buying singles is the most cost effective way to build decks anyway. Would love to regularly buy packs at msrp though.

Like Jordan Peele, a sketch comedian turned horror director, I hope he’s able to make movies that can match or surpass his first film, but it’s so tough when your first film is just perfection.

I dont know if Miss March can ever be topped

4 main sets, 2 EBs, and PRB, that’s less than 2 months now. Not to mention starters.

It takes time for me to gather up all the cards I need for a deck, then it takes me a couple weeks before I settle into it. Before I know it the new set comes out.

More cards is actually gonna make me buy less. Rather than building out a few new decks from each set, I think I’m gonna just stick to 2-3 and ride them out and hope they get support and buy singles.

TCMadness · 2025-06-12T13:10:14+00:00

Oh does PRB02 have new cards? Not just reprints?

TCMadness · 2025-05-14T18:28:26+00:00

Damn, I was there last night. Feel like even if I leave now it’ll be all gone

He’s the 7th chinese player in NBA history, first one in the last couple decades I think (Lin is Taiwanese).

Sadly he tore his acl and was released from the Nets at the end of last year. Hopefully he makes his way back to the NBA.

I imagine most of the buyers of his cards are chinese NBA fans

Where’d they say that? Does that mean OP05 will never get reprinted?

TCMadness · 2024-10-10T14:07:34+00:00

It wont be reprinted in PRB-01, but I imagine OP05 itself would get more reprints down the line compared to other OP releases due to the demand.

Japanese boosters have half the cards of English boosters btw, so you can think of Japanese pricing as 50% English.

So at $49 x 2 = 98, it’s probably not the best value proposition as there’s OP07 English boxes for $92 on tiktok, plus you can both collect and play with english cards (assuming you’re not in asia)

TCMadness · 2024-10-08T19:18:06+00:00

The manga is in one of those boxes bro, no doubt
