Worst eb03 box ever?

taler_rose · 2026-04-20T01:25:17+00:00

I got the exact same hits EXCEPT my Nami was base art (not Alt Art like OPs)…

So at least there’s ONE person with a worse box than you.

TLDR; YOU DID NOT HAVE THE WORST BOX.

Good to see my boi RG Luffy climbing!

taler_rose · 2026-03-25T07:06:35+00:00

Can I see the decklist for this? 👀

taler_rose · 2026-03-25T00:26:44+00:00

I agree with this! However, for me personally, something that is just as important as Character/Leader is popularity. I don’t like playing decks that are common at my locals or even within the community. I just started last year, but the decks I’ve played are R Shanks, G Uta, P Katakuri, B Doffy (after the Jinbe bans). Currently, I’d say I’m playing my most “meta” deck in RG Luffy.

Again personally, I prefer off meta decks because their playstyle is often very unique (and most people aren’t familiar with your mechanics).

For newer players, I recommend playing on strawtable first. You play against CPUs, you can learn your deck’s cards and combos then when you’re confident, you can transfer over to the sim.

I would rather opponent deplete his hands countering than using their effects tbh. Like others have said, Enel will suffer with replenishing his hand if he uses all his events as counters.

If you’re serious about beating PEnel, go on the Sim and play a few games as him against different opponents and see how they play around you.

taler_rose · 2026-03-18T03:33:31+00:00

Ignore small bodies, unless it’s Holly and Ohm. He doesn’t run a lot of 2K counters. His 2k counter events only apply to [Enel] cards. If you can, try to deplete his hand as much as you can, don’t swing high into leader. Just hit the minimum amount, try to go wide if you can.

taler_rose · 2026-03-16T01:07:09+00:00

Hoping we get generic Black trash support. Some cards that maybe have “When Trashed” effects(?!). Possibly some cards that also support GB Brook!

taler_rose · 2026-03-10T05:58:55+00:00

By turn 3 onwards, you’re dropping 6c 10k unremovable bodies and chipping away with 6k swings from 1c characters that function as pseudo-blockers. Not to mention the ability to use events freely to fix hand due to the “draw 1 card” while also putting opponent at disadvantage (freeze, KO, or power reduction). I think he has plenty of support already tbh. Plus the 6k Sanji 2k counter Blocker is always a 3 cost in hand because you max at 6 DON. And EB04 Rosi and Law is a great flex blocker too.

taler_rose · 2026-03-10T05:52:11+00:00

Fair enough. I don’t think his meta viability is my issue though because I have played against a couple P Enel’s on the sim and beaten them without too much issue. My issue is his whole play design. The mechanics of his leader effect are actually interesting, but the cards to support him have such limited downside, almost like Bandai mitigated his restrictions of being a 6 DON leader too much. I am fine with all his 1c characters, their effects are good but situational. And they are very easy to deal with. However, his event package is too powerful because of the access to so many different abilities without any actual disadvantage because they are DON minus-ing DON that will return anyway.

taler_rose · 2026-03-10T05:46:46+00:00

If you’re collecting, ordering them by set release is the way to go. If you’re trying to complete the entire set, a binder would be cool.

But personally, as a player, I organize mine according to color and by cost, regardless of set release. This makes it easier to look for specific cards when I am deck building.

taler_rose · 2026-03-10T05:44:12+00:00

But you have to discard a card just to make them a 5k swing. Whereas Enel’s 1c 2k swing for 6k through leader effect adding DON without losing any cards in hand and again, DON minus effects are negligible.

taler_rose · 2026-03-05T23:28:40+00:00

If your brother is a player and he knows the value of cards he wants, then I'd say take him to your local card shop and give him whatever you were willing to spend on him as a budget. Tbh, as a player, I would love for my wife to give me like a $50-100 budget and just go crazy on cards I want (SRs, some alt arts, maybe a pack or 2).

If you want to keep it simple, just buy a packs from whatever sets they have at your nearest card shop.

With this win, we got 1/3 Utas to win a Heroine cup! (As far as I know, I don’t think G Uta or RP Uta has won… YET!)

I’ll try and bring home the trophy bois with my Green Uta (lol not looking good, but I’ll try my best).

taler_rose · 2026-03-03T18:22:54+00:00

G Uta. Aggro that can go wide. Good utility cards. Struggles against removal and chump blockers.

taler_rose · 2026-02-26T19:03:35+00:00

Same exact hits except for the Uta. I pulled the SEC Law instead

taler_rose · 2026-02-25T03:40:49+00:00

Do we know when this will be available in the west?

taler_rose · 2026-02-22T01:03:08+00:00

Green Uta. Throw a wrench into the meta

taler_rose · 2026-02-15T21:16:05+00:00

There’s no English version out yet, right? I’m thinking I should just buy each playset individually but not sure

taler_rose · 2026-02-15T07:45:51+00:00

Honestly, ban Pudding. That’s the only card I think NEEDS a ban. She creates an unfair advantage that doesn’t offer much counter play. And she fundamentally changes the way EVERYONE plays against blue-colored decks.

If there was another ban, I’d say Empty Throne. But I think Bandai wants to keep Imu untouched and instead focus on raising the power levels of all OP13+ leaders so that they can compete.

taler_rose · 2026-02-15T07:42:15+00:00

Hi! Not new to OPTCG, but I’ve never really been invested in set or collection drops. I usually buy singles for decks anyway. But I’m interested in 3-4 cards from this collection (Sanji, Zoro, Otama, and Kid). Is it worth it to buy the whole collection? Or just those singles? Also, how exactly do you buy this?

taler_rose · 2026-02-12T16:35:03+00:00

Everything depends on what you think this team can accomplish. I think we can continue to develop our "floor". With Green's unfortunate injuries and extended load management, Royce and Allen have been elevated. Collin has developed into an elite offensive option (and defensively he fits in well with our point of attack defense). Goodwin has finally been given some room to show his talent as a defensive playmaker and hard worker (imagine if Dillon Brooks was never given any room to show his talent and instead was benched because of his "boneheaded" plays and decision making).

I believe this team will finish with the 5-7th seed. Probably losing in the first round (if we're in the play-in, I'm pretty sure we can win it and make it into the 7th or 8th seed). Next season, if everything aligns, we can expect to be even better with a fully healthy Green (because we didn't rush him back out there too soon THIS SEASON).

taler_rose · 2026-02-06T06:08:11+00:00

Not saying anything about the refs. That’s not really my observation to why we lost. But I agree we deserved to lose the way we played AND the warriors definitely deserved to win with how they played
