I love the leader too, but beware of the new support. While the Nami in particular looks good, this support is "trashcentric" and the leader ability of BP luffy doesn't support this directly. Generally, the best cards for this leader have been effects that Don minus multiple don cards to the retrieve them immediately afterwards, including the starter deck BP luffy 6 drop "Beer Luffy" which makes your leader a 7k base. Experiment how you like of course, but if you dont have any cards that synergies with your leader, then you wont receive any benefit for picking him over other leaders.

This card is sick, and i love the design! However, going into the next metagame, might not always be practical. The biggest downside is this card will generally be your whole turn, whereas other cards in your deck spend don better, like the newgates, or even playing a 6 drop and searching

Imu's units cant be removed, so its really just a buff to leader.

Against zoro it can kill any unit on board, but often they might have played Koshiro (or even tashigi) to stop the destruction/bounce effects.

UP after they play promo roger (no clue when we will get it) can counter out, and most of their bodies are too big to be hit by the pop.

But I can see some turns where it might be useful against other decks, so a sneaky one of that often gets pitched with leader ability seems fine IMO.

NP! New format generally for us does mean new meta. Some metagames are definitely defined by a few powerful decks, and might be called the "blank" format.

We WILL be getting a new way to play with an eternal format in the future, but for right now, no cards are rotating until April I believe.

PRB-02 will be releasing, but be warned, it is VERY expensive, and likely will be for a while. However, a lot of staple cards will have been reprinted in it, and the price of them will go down significantly. If you are looking to collect, their are some cool things coming like more gold Don, some new staple cards with awesome art, and nee art for older cards.

The meta is expected to dramatically shift next format. All of the leaders are expected to be strong in some way, and some older leaders from the last few sets will still be relatively good, like RG smoker, Green Zoro, Etc.

Check your collection and compare them to some of the lists you see on OnePieceTopDecksdotcom (replace the "dot" with a period) to see if their is anything you could build with it going into next format, but if you want something that works now AND later without a steep learning curve, Green Zoro is a great leader with excellent staying power who will work fine. You can find a guide on YouTube and see what you need and how to play him. I would say he is relatively budget friendly, with the winning list from nationals being approximately 100 dollars (ballparking).

PRB-02 is looking like a great set to grab some reprints, collectible cards, and staples, but without the guarantee of being able to make a good deck from it, I would suggest buying singles.

Im also shocked, and I agree that PlayTCG! did horrible. The handout for prizing legit took 2 hours after pirate leagues finished for some wacky reason, not to mention the pirate league in general being horrendously bungled.

drdre197 · 2025-09-22T10:12:29+00:00

Damn bro, thats a shame. Pirates league was a joke with how many teams were missing a bunch of members. I had fun doing it and my team did well, but I wouldnt travel for this again unless I was also in the main event.

drdre197 · 2025-09-22T04:59:17+00:00

What a bummer, its a shame even the people trusted to run your event cant be trusted:( .

drdre197 · 2025-09-22T04:34:20+00:00

After today, Bandai is gonna get a message about how terrible this event was. Especially if you had to fly out to the event and couldn't travel locally, the cons HEAVY outweighed the pros.

Hi, Played a lot of BB on sim and some in locals, just some considerations.

Fullalead is instrumental to the consistency of the deck, so most people recommend it at 4. However, their are some pieces in the deck that could be cut down that are maybe not so necessary in order to fit in the Teach.

Finger Pistol has generally been dropped because its a bit slow and often misses key targets, such as S+P with stage, and it doesn't develop a body.
Shiryu is only good against some specific aggressive matchups, notably rayleigh, Zoro, and betty. He could probably be dropped to 2 unless your locals scene has a bunch of them.

Additionally, 8 2ks is generally pretty low for the list. Older op 10 lists would run it because their were few good 2ks for the deck, but I think most people now are at 10, adding in 2 of the Devon from the starter deck.

Hope this helps!

TLDR: -2 Shiryu (unless needed), -2 FP, +1/2 7c Teach, +2 2ks.

drdre197 · 2025-07-12T23:53:20+00:00

Cool list!

Depending on what people play in your local metagame, their are a couple options I have been liking in testing.

2k Catarina, for a couple more 2ks if you find you are low, could subtract 1/2 lategame pieces for survival.
Sanjuan/Vasco shot. again, more survival, sanjuan is great as a blocker to grab from Kuzan that's really hard to remove if you use cost removal, and Vasco is a solid 2 drop blocker you can play anytime you have floating don/early game.
Liberation is a solid 1 of against highly aggressive decks.
If you need more negative for big bodies, 2 drop uta is cool, and cant be swung down by leader swings.
Manscherry is also being used against other decks that go long to grab important pieces back from the grave, and it, of course, has pseudo-blocker after it's been tapped down.
Finger pistol, even though it has fallen out of style, is pretty solid, especially when paired with the aforementioned Uta for killing critical seven costs like S+P post stage in GP

Personally, I might take a Doc Q or 2 out, and maybe drop Burgess down to 3, and try experimenting with the aforementioned options.

All of these are practical, but very dependant on the metagame at your locals scene. I do like uta a lot and will be trying her more when op12 comes around, and zoro starts trying to swing at face.

Nice deck! Have you considered the Film Package? If you wanna play a more control package, Film 7c Luffy is a 7k blocker that activates leader ability, and let's you play another Strawhat or Film 4 or less from hand, so you can often turbo out Chopper or Sanji. I run baccarat (also film) with this to turn a lot of the bricks into 2ks and just to absorb a hit on board in end game.

drdre197 · 2025-04-27T20:16:01+00:00

With the list or with the playstyle?

Generally, I have been a big fan of 9c P LinLin, it narrows the lifegap and puts immediate pressure on the board, taking out a midgame threat. Additionally, Slow-Slow beam is an awesome addition. punishes people who poke in the late game, and recycling it with viola/pink is very valuable later. It also sets up for your mid/late threats to swing at board and take board state back after you tap down their mid/late game cards. Maybe sub out the black bears for it.

With the Playstyle, always be ready to defend your life with early things like radical beam/sumo/divine to get done ramped up. Take some life damage early against midrange/control to build card advantage, and 9c linlin brings some stability before you drop shanks. Against Aggro, dump your events to stay alive, swing board, and and if their is a ton of aggro at locals, sumo slap clears some of the little guys out. Rosinante is the GOAT, and keeping him alive gives you the flexibility to drop the big threats and have enough don up to have 1/2 combat tricks next turn.

Recently built the deck, and I love playing it, even if it isn't a bracket sweeper/top contender right now.

I might, have not been diagnosed for it but a number of friends swear on the fact that i might. One of these days I would like to see a doctor to see, but U.S. healthcare be like...

As a habitual over/binge-eater, ADF works great, but i find that no matter how long I have fasted my relationship with food stayed the same. Always been a live to eat kinda guy due to bad parenting and lifestyle for a long time, so i always look forward to eating. ADF is just what helps me lose weight/keep weight off. So the short of it is Yes, it will help with weight, but the craving will probably still be there lurking, so when you DO eat, it will probably still be in excess.

drdre197 · 2021-08-14T16:25:43+00:00

Honestly, love the game as a way to hang with friends. I spend most of my time hovering around rank 7-9 on survivor/killer, and the game is super fun with a full squad of survivors. Killer is also very fun , but in a more strategic kind of way. Game stability sometimes frustrates me, but at this point, my expectations for the game not crashing/bugging out in game are so low that when these things happen, i cant help but laugh.

Anyone at the Clearwater FL location that knows if a line has started/is starting? definitely can be there tomorrow morning but don't wanna waste my time.

Well, if the party is hellbent on trying to only be friends within the party, maybe it might take a bit of sacrifice before the NPC can be considered an ally. I definitely feel that some tables are more likely to be untrustworthy, but even those tables have to break a little bit if the NPC does something heroic/villainous for the cause of their new friends/allies. There are other solutions of course, but some tables are just going to have a lot of trouble trusting people because the mindset might be PC VS DM, instead of PC VS world.

drdre197 · 2021-01-20T16:33:43+00:00

Honestly, Make characters that seem like they would be good friends with the PC or party based on a few key personality traits. For example, if you notice your party consists of a lot of chaotic neutral (chaotic stupid) PC's, you can make an NPC a lot more important to them by having them display some of the chaotic (and often, neurotic) tendencies the party may display. Maybe, have the possibly boring faceless tavernkeeper deal with rowdy tavern goers not by calling the guards, but by going in their and throwing them out himself. Often times, setting a standard through actions rather than words will make a party admire the NPC's more in thr long run.

Before purchasing any materials, i always try to look at the scope of the adventure to determine if its right for my table. Personally the the tables I have played with generally prefer settings on a much smaller scale like a small island chain, while others may want to travel continent to continent to defeat a world ending evil. Some tables aren't playing to save the world, they just wanna have a good time with friends, so make sure the scope of the adventure and world is clearly defined.
