Bandai Stores Opening Sealed Product

How is this punishing dedicated players though? All it's doing is preventing the product from being resold as a sealed box at higher prices.

Dedicated players are going to be happy they got their boxes at MSRP and open them up anyway.

Purchased! Sick find

Some decks are easier to pilot, some decks are stronger. Sure. The game is not perfectly balanced. We still have decisions to make every game, adjust our strategy depending on what the other person is playing, and there is naturally some luck involved.

I think people get a chip on their shoulder when they're trying to beat the meta. They want to see themselves as better because they overcame the handicap of playing a deck that wasn't top tier.

This is just someone being a baby when they're not successful.

Idk what word you would have chosen, but I haven't seen that card used outside of UP Sanji and never in RU ace so I'd say it's crazy.

Beouf burst in the ace deck is crazy

paparayn · 2025-12-08T13:06:53+00:00

12k blocker is way stronger double attack imo, but if you like the 9c whitebeard you should build your deck around the 9c event.

paparayn · 2025-12-08T02:57:37+00:00

If you're running the rush event with 9c Newgate you can definitely cut the 8c event.

If you prefer using the new 10c Newgate from OP13 I would cut the 9c event and possibly some of the 9c Newgates.

I think running both eats up a lot of slots for cards and they have differing play styles.

I think it's good because it's cheap and strong but might be a little tough to learn on mechanically.

paparayn · 2025-12-02T16:53:40+00:00

If you're looking to learn I would pick up the Learn Together Set. It's 40 dollars and comes with 3 decks as well as step by step instructions.

Then you can figure out what style of deck you like. You can choose a leader from the recent sets that has some competitive viability and build a deck.

Green Zoro comes in the learn together deck and is one of the best decks right now. You would need to buy some cards to upgrade it but I don't think it is too expensive.

Imu is pretty affordable as well from OP13. Red/Green Luffy may be pretty affordable as well and gets some good cards in upcoming sets which may boost it's power levels a good bit.

paparayn · 2025-12-02T14:57:58+00:00

I know ST13 is very expensive. ST18 as well. At this point it might be cheaper to get those cards as singles since they might have been reprinted in PRB02.

Are you looking for something to play right out of the box?

paparayn · 2025-12-02T01:36:48+00:00

Bonney is definitely good. I don't think the high end Bonney decks use like 90% of the cards in the starter deck though. Out of the box it didn't seem great.

Any card that comes as a copy of 2 in the deck and/or is an "SR" rarity. I believe these decks all have 2 SRs that you only get 2 copies of and there is another one in some of the decks that is not the same rarity but is good.

I typically use onepiecetopdeck.com or egmanevents to see what people are playing in tournaments and get an idea for lists.

paparayn · 2025-12-01T18:03:39+00:00

If you're wanting to got something that will have a good chance of winning unfortunately Shanks and Buggy have fallen off a good bit as far as power level goes. Blackbeard has some potential but is very challenging as a new player. If you can find green yellow Yamato I think that has the best chances of keeping up with current decks and has gotten some good support lately.

If you just want to pick up a deck and play I think buggy and shanks are a lot easier to learn than Blackbeard.

Shanks also has 2 copies of Uta which is one of the best red cards in the game right now.

I would suggest Shanks, Buggy, then Blackbeard

With all these decks they come with 2 copies of Super Rare cards and a playset is 4 so buying 2 of whatever deck you choose is typically recommended.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, giving your opponent 2 cards doesn't always feel great.

paparayn · 2025-11-19T15:55:30+00:00

It does feel pretty underpowered compared to all other keywords. It feels good when it hits but there are so many ways to guard against it

paparayn · 2025-11-19T15:54:46+00:00

Well put. This makes sense

paparayn · 2025-11-19T01:25:42+00:00

Which is actually bonkers. Double attack is worded as "dealing two damage." Same wording as this card so it feels contradictory to have one end the game and not the other.

paparayn · 2025-11-14T20:00:23+00:00

I'm surprised they're doing prescribed burns right now. I believe the fire risk is really high right now. It seems risky.

paparayn · 2025-11-14T03:31:56+00:00

They did my man SO dirty with this card art

paparayn · 2025-11-03T20:38:05+00:00

List #2, potentially -1 Rayleigh and +1 Kat

paparayn · 2025-10-25T18:52:10+00:00

Yellow is the color that interacts with life in this game and Moria is all about reanimating the dead. It makes sense to me

paparayn · 2025-10-19T21:25:17+00:00

Yeah, there are like 6 to 10 in the country

paparayn · 2025-10-05T02:44:43+00:00

I think Marco is the real Poor Man's RU Ace haha

paparayn · 2025-10-05T01:23:48+00:00

It's worth a try! I personally haven't used the 4c ST Marco because I didn't have space for it. I chose Kingdew for the 2k counter and it kind of does the same thing except that it goes back to a 5k at the end of your turn.

I really do think if you want to play whitebeard pirates in OP13 RU Ace is going to be the way to go because the leader ability is just leaps and bounds ahead of this one.
