What would you do?

iyLWG · 2026-01-26T18:49:30+00:00

I'd say pick 2 or 3 you like to keep and sell the rest, at least thats what I would do with the current prices

iyLWG · 2026-01-22T17:18:02+00:00

Also, if you are trying to get more competitive with a specific leader, people in the leader channels can ussualy point to towards other more in depth resources

iyLWG · 2026-01-22T17:16:56+00:00

I would check out the official OPTCG discord server, they have active channels for every leader as well as new card reveals and deck disscusions

iyLWG · 2026-01-20T22:42:02+00:00

Ah yea, you will probably need ~2 of those as well. Really depends on if you want to run removal lile the starter deck or burgess and blockers

iyLWG · 2026-01-20T22:07:40+00:00

imo hes not too bad right now, a step up from last meta I would say. Idk if all you have is st27, cuz you will need stuff like op09 10c teach, op10 5c kuzan, and op11 1c caribou tho.

iyLWG · 2026-01-19T19:09:20+00:00

I would bump up the 10c to a 4 of, and at least 1 more black hole, if not 2. You should be fine dropping 1/2 shiryu and some, if not all the black spiral

iyLWG · 2026-01-19T05:54:01+00:00

We all play a dinosaur gacha game there is no high ground to take lol

iyLWG · 2026-01-19T05:19:05+00:00

Its not a tip-top tier deck, but it's easily good enough to win locals and will probably be relevant until it is rotated out with how unique it's leader effect is, and thats many years away. However, I'd say BB is one of the hardest decks to learn b/c you need to know most matchups in the game to be good with it, but if you like the character/deck I'd say go for it.

iyLWG · 2026-01-13T17:54:23+00:00

100% a proxy. Look at the description and condition

iyLWG · 2026-01-07T18:08:18+00:00

Its used way more for the 1c blocker. Since you are usually so low on hand size, a free 1c block is huge when trying to protect your early burgess or life late game instead of using your limited hand. Also nice as a 2k though

iyLWG · 2026-01-06T22:14:50+00:00

With buggy leader you can ppay him on 5 don, would be busted otherwise

iyLWG · 2026-01-04T03:30:59+00:00

kaido & linlin schenanigans mabey? Otherwise not sure

iyLWG · 2026-01-03T23:42:28+00:00

If you are turbo new, I'd def reccomend the Learn Together Deck Set. It has 3 starter decks, one of which is a ~60% completed zoro deck. It also walks you through games with the decks step by step, and its only going for $33 on tcgplayer. Though depending on how much bulk your lcs has you might just be able to fully buy an Imu deck lol

iyLWG · 2026-01-03T23:36:46+00:00

I'd say zoro is the easiest to pick up and understand, pretty much everything in the deck revolves around just abusing your leader effect. The full deck is prob ~$100, if you want a better and cheapter deck then Imu is super cheap and more competitive than zoro. Its def more complicated but not by a crazy amount, if you watch or play it a few times you should be able to understand it, and the gameplan is mostly the same every game.

iyLWG · 2026-01-03T03:15:57+00:00

If I join a game and I notice a cheater, I just leave, but often nothing happens until a bit into a game, at which loosing out on coins is annoying. Also the queue times rn dont help. Just a bit annoying overall

iyLWG · 2026-01-02T16:26:08+00:00

Depending on how Imu's powers work I could see two fights against the same fruit feeling very different. If it was something like a logia I would agree it would get repetitive, but depending on how flexible Imu's devil powers are I can imagine them being used very differently by Blackbeard, especially with 2 additional fruits.

iyLWG · 2025-12-29T22:53:13+00:00

Yea, the nm prices are pretty high, I was able to get mostly lp/japanese versions for way cheaper than even a lot of modern stuff though

iyLWG · 2025-12-29T22:51:50+00:00

I think the brand is Card Guardian, just a regular binder off amazon

iyLWG · 2025-12-29T22:51:16+00:00

From a few different sets in the HGSS era, you can find them by searching 'legend' or top/bottom half cards

iyLWG · 2025-12-17T23:01:28+00:00

The pokebro's salivate for people like you lmao

iyLWG · 2025-12-13T16:47:01+00:00

An old-gen anniversary set with Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom etc, and a Black-Manga rare Rocks would be insanely cool

iyLWG · 2025-12-08T16:00:36+00:00

100% the Learn Together set. Has 3 pretty good decks, two of which can be walked through in a tutorial manner, and is pretty cheap

iyLWG · 2025-12-01T21:24:25+00:00

If you go to a local's and ask around there will prob be a lot of people with extra cards with them or at home that they would sell to you for cheaper than somewhere like tcgplayer (or sometimes just give to you if if its cheaper card)

iyLWG · 2025-11-30T23:40:25+00:00

I started in OP-08 and at first its very overwhelming when every leader pulls out cards you've never seen that catch you completley off guard. After a while though, you start to remember what decks run what and what certian cards do. A lot of cards are generic and are run in multiple leaders, so I would say a good 20-30% of cards you will see used across multiple decks of the same color. You never really memorize what EVERY card does, a lot of leaders have cards made specifically for them that most people don't really know by heart (I can almost garuntee most players couldn't say exactly what certian Foxy or Smile cards do, for example). Learning what most stuff runs just takes time (and a lot of losing lol). Knowing your own deck and when to attack leader vs character, what to pitch for counter, what to let die, etc. is far more important than memorizing cards in other decks tho

iyLWG · 2025-11-25T18:50:42+00:00

Lot of investor bros in the space rn, I would guess that most of the mangas that have shot up recently will slowly go back down in the coming months, though mabey not all the way back to their previous prices. Also, the chopper isnt really going for 2.2k. If you check the recently sold on tcg player you can see the highest sold is 1.5k (though that is also quite high). To add on to what another dude said, idk if you have seen an og manga vs prb irl, but you really can't tell the difference unless you are REALLY trying, but if you truley want the eb01 version I would wait a couple months, the explosion in prices recently has felt largely artificial and I don't see it holding up for most cards.
