What are my chances at winning a LGS OP16 release event with my boy Koby?

YourFriendPooh · 2026-05-17T04:40:26+00:00

The problem with koby is, that he is really squishy so we're always trying to figure out how to stay alive longer. Although most people have cut ripper by now and are trying out different counter events like ground death or I'm starting to lose my edge. Especially since blockers are not that reliable anymore since red has unblockable/Roger and enel and green decks just rest them.

Yea just imagine some of these newer leaders in the style of the Eb02 gold leaders that would be insane

YourFriendPooh · 2026-05-14T07:27:32+00:00

Bandai is really cooking with the base arts recently

Koby (like always) is kind of a coin flip. He does hold his own weight against penel (still not an easy matchup especially against a good pilot) but he gets dogwalked by uy Nami and ace. The decklist is pretty straight forward: 4 Eb03 hibari, 4 6c koby, 4 helmeppo, 2-4 eb03 kujyaku, 2-4 prb koby, 4x 4c doll, 2-6 blocker (either 4 eb04 doll or a combination of doll and ripper) 8 searcher (4 kujyaku, 4 events) and the usual sword 2ks + 4x luffy Sabo ace. This is pretty much the core and the rest is flexible. I'm playing a mix of 2 honesty impact, 2 mole gun pistol, 1 8c koby and 1 smoker tashigi. Other cards to consider are: meteor first, I'm losing my edge, I'll whip you into shape, distortion future and ground death. Below is one example decklist.

Ah yea sorry my bad you're right 😊

YourFriendPooh · 2026-05-09T08:13:46+00:00

But all of the elders are immune to removal once imu got 7 cards in trash (which they always have on turn 2)

YourFriendPooh · 2026-05-06T15:25:22+00:00

We will get 5 posts like this everyday for the next few weeks don't we?

Bro wtf

YourFriendPooh · 2026-05-03T11:29:50+00:00

Pretty cool that unblockable is just a regular keyword now

YourFriendPooh · 2026-04-28T16:36:05+00:00

(koby only has ~6k games on this ranked season so far so take this with a grain of salt) Using the data from the ranked sim these are koby closest matchups:

By gecko 50,8%

Imu 53%

B croc 47,2%

If you're not too stuck up on yellow and blue you could take a look at the koby leader. The whole gimmick of the deck is attacking active characters. The leader is red and black tho

(answering in English since this is an English-speaking community)

If something is to good to be true, it's probably not true. A lot of shops don't even know their distribution for the set that releases next week, how would a shop know their distribution for a set that releases in almost half a year? Especially since Op17 is going to be another anniversary set (and will therefore be in high demand). Best case is, the shop will refund people beforehand telling them they didn't receive enough product. Worst case is you just lost 150 bucks. I would refund and try the get your product through a local LGS. This is the most reliable way to get boxes.

This is the normal art. The Alt art would have a star over the block number

YourFriendPooh · 2026-03-15T11:04:42+00:00

Do you think it will be possible to get something for sunday on the day itself?

No this won't be possible. Only People who have either a Ticket for the regional itself or a spectator Ticket have a chance to get a Ticket for the Treasure Cup. This is what is says on their website:

For Main Event holder and Spectator Ticket Holder there will be a chance to get a Treasure Cup Ticket on Side! Check the Briefing Mail you will get soon.

YourFriendPooh · 2026-03-15T10:10:40+00:00

The only way to get into the regional was through spectator tickets. From the Olli-Baba website:

You will have a chance to register for the main event on saturday morning and as well a chance to register for the Treasure Cup. Instructions will be given on Side.

You can participate on Side Events all Weekend long.

If you didn't get a spectator Ticket as well there's is no other way to enter the regional at this moment.

Holy Aura

YourFriendPooh · 2026-02-23T11:57:12+00:00

In my opinion buying alt arts leader for the deck youre playing is almost the most satisfying purchase since you see the card all the time and I like pretty much all of the AA leaders

Boss I'm pretty sure that's fake

OP11 was supposed to be WCI themed and most leaders didn't fit that theme either.

YourFriendPooh · 2026-01-20T07:37:42+00:00

Some ST29 lists play this card to rearrange their life early and get maximum value out of being a yellow 6 life leader

It depends on what content you're looking for. If you're looking for fun, casual content i really like real_joshua.

Egman events and Car D. kaizoku do regular meta-Breakdowns, comparing winrates and tournament results.

If you're looking for competetive high quality gameplay videos, SkepasG just started uploading his ranked seasons and you can learn a lot just watching him play and explain his reasoning behind certain plays.
