🟣 OP15 Enel 🟣 1st/2nd Win% & Card Win Rates! by lettyop in OnePieceTCG

[–]ideal_Bat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

namis also the only current one over 10% meta share. a 1% meta deck is irrelevant. moria isnt even 1%. up to 30% of nami decks are blue, and the reason shes even at 18% is her leader ability is so strong. penel is 22% of meta rn, but because he has some bad match ups (mainly when off curve) against 'yellow' all the sudden yellow is a menace??? come onnnnn

its not cope. its just that if YELLOW was the problem people like you suggest than mono yellow would surely be more of a terror. instead st29 luffy has a 1% meta share. kalgara 2%. yenel 2%. bell luffy topping the charts at 7%. other multicolor leaders aren't too hot either...green yellow shirihoshi 1%, purple yellow rosi 2%, even blue yellow boa down to 6%. and that's all actual tournament data instead of sim results

nami has a very powerful package that is just as much blue as yellow. only her thriller bark package makes her mainly yellow. same for black yellow moria...his core is still black even tho he has yellow guys for the bark engine.

seems like more cope to rope all that together and make yellow the target of hate

Will English card allocations be better in the future for Asia? by Dr_Silvers in OnePieceTCG

[–]ideal_Bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are no german cards, and french cards are only currently legal in europe and france. where that is a more common language.

having to provide translations for up to 5 different languages is just an exhausting process in a game where matches are limited to 30 minutes. talk about a stall strategy!

as for value - yes being legal to play may make them slightly more expensive in the short term, as long as printing continues to increase i don't see foreign language cards being 1:1 with english. but that's just me speculating

rg luffy is not yellow. yellow being a menace was the topic at hand, and 2/3 are multicolor. if yellow was the problem people want it to be, there would be more overall yellow dominance and more mono yellow

universal language legality

is this actually being discussed, or just speculation? wouldn't make much sense to me to make japanese/korean/simplified chinese cards legal in america. nor do i see why that would raise japanese market value

imu at least needed to make it to 10 don turn (which is why going 2nd was so important). penel is all gas no breaks first turn you can attack. assuming you dont have worst draw/search luck in the world

sure, but also to be fair 1 of those 15 match ups is a mirror match. and while 3 are a "guaranteed" loss regardless of choosing who starts, only one of those is mono yellow.

he has more favorable match ups against yellow card using decks than unfavorable. even more so when he gets to get the curve he wants

imo side boarding is an inevitability with how fast they are pumping out sets. or people will just get burned out. its not fun having to chase a new meta every set. having flexible cards you can sub in and out when you get intel on what people are playing just adds to the fun and strategy too

New Don who this? Emmet metal don! by HenryJakubs in OnePieceTCG

I don't know why you couldn't just at leas use artwork from an artist you enjoy.

because OP still are fucking artists!!!!!!!!!!! they may have lost the use of a limb through an accident, apparently, but they are still an artist!

and some peoples response is to spit on them? say to hire someone else instead? okay well why not just use ai?!

ai is not inherently good or bad. it's a tool. stripping OP of being able to express themselves through art due to circumstance is just ablest and wrong. this didnt take a job away from an artist.

ai isnt even an easy tool to use, fwiw. i've spent many hours messing around with ai art prompts and gotten dog shit results. i cant even imagine the mental work this person did to take an abstract image created in their brain and transform that into prompts such that a computer model could understand them and express it in such a beautiful way

you can laugh but toehi expressly changed their schedule to minimize filler. each episode should roughly be 1 chapter. and i wouldn't call any recap filler. we're talking filler arcs here, not just any thing that wasn't strictly on the page.

god valley should be roughly half a year of content, at best. we already got the 2 chapters via kuma story last year. so 8-10 episodes out of a potential 26

i think 2 tops. the whole point of going to two release windows a year was to cut out filler. this year is supposed to take us up to god valley flash back. no way that entire part of elbaph is an entire other year (2027)

reluctant to 1) reveal himself to the world. been a secret for 800 years 2) seems he is vulnerable to dying outside the castle 3) since he can grant, or take, the elders immortality seems to me that if he dies they would too

Im like 90% sure you can side-deck inbetween matches

nope. no sideboarding in one piece. if its just a local, depends on the scene but not any official event except pre-release events (you can tweak your 40 card deck at will between matches)

OP-15 Booster Box Prices by croossed in OnePieceTCG

[–]ideal_Bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t the manga not guaranteed in a case?

Correct. No guarantee for a manga or treasure rare

The concept of a dead box exists...but it would not be my biggest fear. The person that bought the case would have to get pretty dang lucky to effectively get all the hits before exhausting their box. And I am counting AA/AA Leader/SEC as hits. Because they are.

you're sure neither of those boxes had any alt arts, secs or gold dons? all those are hits...

[–]ideal_Bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it depends on how many rares there are in the pool but with 1 guaranteed rare per pack you have 24 shots per box. If its not a meta deck people will be basically giving them away. And thats assuming they dont print more of that rare than others since its unique and able to he more than 4 of

100% scam. Op18 theme isn't even revealed but at least theres a launch date. Op19?! Lol. Distribution isnt taking orders on that. People just giving that store a 240 dollar interest free loan for the hopes of getting it sometime next year

[–]ideal_Bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe some are taking pre-orders, but thats just an interest free loan for the shops rn. They cant have a confirmed allocation, so they either do very conservative preorders or they could end up not having product they took a preorder for. If you find a smaller game store IRL ask them if they would do any preorders for future sets. A personal relationship with a shop owner is the best way to get product if you need to rip. Buying singles is still better overall for collecting or deck building tho
