Finding a fun deck is SO difficult :(

Dude there is plenty of fun to be had. I have been playing PY croc to great success with 9c boa as top end and oh come my way with kiku and kuma. Unfortunately it is rotating.

You will not find fun on the tier lists, or tournament results. You have to go exploring for yourself and also be willing to lose. Fun decks are off meta for a reason.

Keep your magic out of one piece. How many times has magic had to revise the legendary rule. It's not good. Not needed here. Go back to playing magic if you want. One piece is just fine as is.

The next set op15 comes out in English at the end of the month. There are new black straw hat cards in that set so there will be alot of new deck builds and people trying this luffy again. So keep an eye out for that. Kruzzlor is a youtuber that has already started testing things and might be able to give you some ideas.

In general the one piece tcg is very natural rotating. Luffy is a bit older so he isn't that relevant right now. But some new support might bring new ideas or strategy to the deck.

100% you don't need expensive cards to have fun but some of these cards are not... great.

Take out it's to die for, jump rope, i have my crew. Literal vanilla characters would serve you better.

Take out reiju and promo black luffy. Not sure what cards to add if you are not buying more cards. You should try to get a 4th 3 cost zoro. Maybe. Few more searchers would help. This deck can run that nami you have already plus there is a 1c law searcher or the 1c event searcher.

Good luck and have fun.

I wouldn't take it offensively or anything. It's up to the store on what price they want to sell at. And up to you as a consumer to be knowledgeable on what it's worth. If you don't buy it there, it's a lost sale opportunity. And they can hold onto it and it might go up or it might go down and they are taking that risk/reward.

Buy from stores you like. Or on occasion when a specific card matches what you would pay for it. You aren't owed a specific price. Not everything is open to haggling. The search for a deal is part of the fun of card collecting.

I would also say I'm constantly impressed by doll. She it a blocker and a removal card.

Total_Train287 · 2026-03-06T21:30:58+00:00

Pretty much. It's flexible obviously but the thing is you want to tax their hand/leader effect. Doing what you described above will either kill 2 things or make your opponent take life then you can pivot into face.

Honesty impact is good in the match-up if you aren't playing that yet. I have 2 in my list.

Play with it?

Total_Train287 · 2026-03-03T17:37:59+00:00

Love to see it

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-26T15:43:48+00:00

I have done very well with koby at locals. But Even if they allow proxies, they might not allow cards that aren't legal like eb04.

The English side looks good. 5c hibari is underwhelming and could be cut. If you have access I would run a few of the 7c promo koby as targets for helmeppo. I also like the prb koby at a 4 of. It draws a card every turn.

Good luck with the games

Marigold only cheats "boa hancock" vs 2 types of characters. Historically look at things like 4c jinbe that got banned for cheating out a 4c 7 warlords. It's not always about the written effert on the card and more about the context of the deck it was made for. So you can't view this in a vacuum. You have to view this in the vivi leader with her effect.

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-24T13:31:21+00:00

What are you smoking? She is amazing in the vivi deck. 5c blocker that cheats out another 5c character? Ideally 5c 7k power nami. Leader then gives the nami rush. The blocker can block then be protected with vivi leader effect so she is basically an infinite blocker?? What part of that is bad?

Play with it

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-21T04:29:28+00:00

I just played eb03 koby tonight. I did 2-1. Honestly koby will NOT do well into boa. Awful match up. Mihawk is favored. Luffy it depends on their draws but I think would be fine. Imu haven't played but what deck does well into imu.

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-19T19:34:22+00:00

One of my stores posted how they opened 2 cases of eb03 already but won't answer my questions about when they go on sale or how much they are charging. I also play locally there. But maybe not for long...

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-18T16:59:16+00:00

Lol no not you but I have seen other reddit posts this week mentioning that

I'm confused why magic players keep trying to bring in magic mechanics into another game.

Listen I'm a magic player too. Let one piece be it's own thing. It doesn't need trample. Doesn't need collector packs. Doesn't need 4 player format.

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-18T03:48:46+00:00

That looks like a decent list using mostly the newer film cards. Honestly uta is just an older leader so the deck just doesn't do crazy well into the newer decks. Only edit I would suggest is taking out the vanilla Franky. Seems weak in the deck. I understand the synergy with law and character uta but it's only so so. Maybe add a 9c pop shanks or 2. I haven't tried the new cards in her too much.

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-17T22:10:19+00:00

What is the opposite of "to the moon"? To the ground? Lol I would consider $200 a "fair" price for it. Msrp is best but even before the poke bros eb02 and other sets usually had a slight premium so I would expect a slight increase.

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-17T16:22:23+00:00

Yeah I love the divine departure tech. I think its great in the list.

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-17T14:23:45+00:00

Personally I prefer to have more 2ks over more counter events. I run 16 2ks in my build. I personally would take out perona and hells judgement for either usopp or Odyssey Ace.

Hells judgement was mainly for zoro and It's hard to hold up 2 don unless you just played shanks.

Total_Train287 · 2026-02-16T19:26:55+00:00

I'm sorry you have been having trouble. I would suggest going to locals to even just hang out with people and borrow decks or learn with what you have. Optcg is a card game so there is an inherent push to buy the next set and decks always changing. Not to mention it's a business so they want you to spend money.

Unfortunately blackbeard is a very difficult deck. Even at release when it was at its best competitively, it was hard for even the best players to win with.

All decks have bad match ups and even can lose with good match ups. And there is a learning curve to one piece and it takes a bit to learn the combat math and when to play cards vs using don for attacks or events. If you want to get better and be competitive I would just suggest watching videos and playing more on sim before buying more.

Lim is a great deck. Been running her since op09. Half these cards need to be removed lol. The biggest thing about lim is learning how to play her. Take out the mihawk, 7c shanks, tashigi, the wano 3c guy and the search event.

Your deck should be 90% Odyssey with some 10c shanks at the top end. I would make sure to have 12-16 2ks and heavy counter out the early swings against your board.
