Such a great video! I was on the fence about getting into the op-tcg, but with quality content like this you single-handedly got me invested :) Thanks!
12 years worth of MTG and I have found it immensely difficult to "get away" from thinking like a magic player. THIS video has helped me a lot, so thank you.
Been playing optcg for 2 days on the sim...long time MTG player so no completely new to card games. Was struggling to find a deck that I loved...I think this is it.
I love the video and would absolutely love a guide like this for Enel and BY Luffy. My son and I just got into the game in June and are desperately playing catch up.
A Tip vs Black, Bounce Kaido can get rid of a moria and a lot of cards that are common in Lucci/moria. Moria is REALLY strong so be careful when bouncing. dont bounce a card that has "- cost" conditions just because u can bounce 2 cards. Sometimes its best to just bounce the one. Also try to pudding when your opponent is about to reach 8 don. Theres a chance u might rip that moria out and save yourself.
Blues very underrated, if they can stall still late game and start pilling on dragons after dragons drawing so many cards, they just become unbeatable, especially since they can drop their hand to stop early damage since they have lot's of draw effects
Awesome guide! One thing. Remember that 10 cost Kaido bounces cards while 9 cost Mihawk bottom decks a card in that sense wouldn't it be better? Kaido is such a brick specially because of on play effects
Man, I don't play Hancock, but I have to congratulate your guide, I even wanted to abandon my Lucci and migrate from Deck hahaha. For neurodivergent people, this model with slides and underlined content is simply sensational. Will we have a style guide like this for Rob Lucci? 😭
Glad you enjoyed! I hope to make guides for all the top decks at some point, but i have almost no exp on Lucci rn so I'll have to research and practice quite a bit before I make that guide lol
I think the impel down version can work but utilize the 2c for set up. Its like a pseudo dofi deck. Get duvals, peronas, dofis to get to the cards you want and arranged as soon as possible. The potential in late game is strong assuming you dont get aggroed to death. 1c perona set up for sanji. Say you saw 7c ivankov, put it on top. Play sanji, bring out ivankov, ivankoc play inazuma. You just played 23 dons worth of board. Its not as consistent as the warlords version but is sure fun as heck though.
Comment for the Algo and to show I was here before 10K lol. This is such a legit channel and it shows by the current views to sub ratio. As for options, I'm currently testing a 2/2 split of both Bounce and Draw-do as well as TTW vs Gravity Blades. I actually do love the Weavils since he's a 6K pressure threat they have to commit to dump resources into removal.
@real_joshuaTV yeah I tried this build on the Sim (with my mods) and it just clicked a lot better for me. I did brick a few times BUT you made me realize the card counting ability of searchers. Sengoku + Doffy is an OP combo. Especially if you can use a Kaya to fix a bricked hand.
Between Boa and Doffy, who's better? Cuz I like my Boa but a Store Tournament is coming. And most of the blue decks here are Doffy, so I would have more chance of top using It. Or is the same thing against black
Yesterday I played Boa in locals, everything felt good, but in the final round (my only loss) the MU vs Lucci felt so abysmal, if they got stage, and Lucci and moria (or just one of them),them the match feel so unfair, they delete everything we pun on the table... also I receive an Issho and a Stussy on my kaido; Literally I had nothing to do than loss in a respectful way. Knowing that like 30% of people are playing Lucci its so hard to try to win with this deck, its like you need to avoid every lucci (like the lucky guy that top) and if you have one Lucci MU, you have to pray that they don't see the stage, if so, pray that they don't see their luccis, and then, the morias... its just so hard. Beautiful and entertaining deck, but with the lucci issue its like the Reiju problem with Law RP.
@@xMattwolfx I would do 1 max, if it's a budget thing I'd just run more of the bounce kaidos. I think 5 big drops is a good # tho so maybe 4 SR kaido and 1 mihawk. Only reason I don't like the mihawk is cuz it's hard to use the extra don and for 1 extra don you get a much bigger body and stronger effect with kaido. It's good in a Sanji build tho!
@@Sephiroth25896 hard to tell esp since the boa ended up taking out the kid anyway. I would have had an extra swing with the boa at the cost of a jinbe swing on board (7k with don attached) AND a 2k Croc in hand. I think the way I played it was higher value but if I was under more pressure the croc would have been correct. I didn't even see that line anyway tho so thx for calling it out
Sorry I’m new to this game. At 26:29 what are you swinging sengoku on. Are you allow to swing at the leader and nothing happens? Also what happens if you have dons on a character card and want the don back. Say I put 1 don on doflamingo to make him 5k to attack their leader, but I want the don back. Can I retire the character at any time to get it back? And if so will the don be rested until my next turn?and can I retire a rested character card at anytime my turn?
@@MooshiMush I attacked with sengoku to be able to remove the basil Hawkins, which has an effect that makes it resistant to removal but doesn't work if everything on your side of the field is rested. Yes you're allowed to swing at an eligible character even if your attack power is lower, it's usually pointless but has occasional uses like this. As for attached don, you can't remove it from a character after you've attached it except with certain cards that let you interact with attached don. Any time you attack your character doesn't become active until the following turn (unless the card says otherwise obv haha). Not sure what you mean by "retire" in that last question!
Hi thanks for the quick reply I got the term retire from vanguard. In that game we have an option to “retire” a card on field by putting another card on top; almost like replacing it. So I was wondering if I have a similar option here. Like if I have 5 cards on field can I replace a character card at anytime. And maybe if I have 4 in another scenario and I use Jinbe that drops another character out can I replace a character too
@@MooshiMush oh yeah you can trash a character to replace it but only if your board is already full and it doesn't trigger on-k.o. effects if you do it that way
@@ZSneakyTurtleMan counter is really important in this deck not just for protecting ourselves but so we can dump hand to keep leader effect online. Weevil is insanely good but we have enough bricks in the form of our lategame and events that we'd rather run other warlords
@@ZSneakyTurtleMan doffy is much better at getting weevil out and has an easier time getting warlords on the board in general the only way to get weevil out except hard casting is jinbe and most of the time for me at least i would rather go jinbe into moria to get a 2k back then draw one this most of the time means that he is stuck in my hand which in that case i would rather have a body with counter in hand then weevil
@@kevinflack7036 I think going into a 5 don turn it's good to play a jinbe double but ur right that gedatsu hurts. The hope is we can outpace and put down high-cost stuff to dodge their removal which we *should be able to but depends on the draw.
@@real_joshuaTV i am also trying out a more stacking heavy version of the deck for sanji to work but i dont really like it atm and at that point you could just play doffy

Yeah it feels unwinnable. Even if we had a 35% win chance I'd be ok with it but it's demoralizing to get outpaced that hard
Hey Joshua nice vid! How you feel about replacing the Sec Kaido for 2 cost 9 Mihawk?
@@xMattwolfx I would do 1 max, if it's a budget thing I'd just run more of the bounce kaidos. I think 5 big drops is a good # tho so maybe 4 SR kaido and 1 mihawk.

im only 15 minutes in and I wish I could've hit subscribe twice
did you end up trying the Sanji ver?
Would you please do guide for Lucci?
How about 4c vanilla Gecko instead of Weevil? It's searchable, still a 6k body, and you have the 1k counter.
BOA vs Zoro/Sanji 7 warlords version vs Doffy??
58:30 you could have play croc to remove the blocker before swinging. Isn't it more usefull even if you lose a jinbe on board ?

it's the optcg sim! Check out Maebatsu, he made it and all the download links are on his linktree
@@real_joshuaTV thank you so much man, you are legend
How do u feel about 7 cost flamingo it's a decent card on curv and it can hit those vanillas when u cant gravity blade them
Could be good, question is what do you take out for it. No way im dropping the 6c boas lmao but maybe dropping a draw kaido ?
@@real_joshuaTV yeah that's a possibility I'm fitting 2 in mind but I just run 2 bounce kaidos
53:25 Play jinbe + law first, get the DRAW and then place gecko.

This is when you try to have pudding at the start and punish them if they just keep on taking life and trigger their shirahoshis.
@@TheRyutora its beatable even without pudding but oudding definitely helps. Either way your in for a very long game
Sadly the only way to beat moria I find is to pudding their hand and hope they lose moria and do not draw it again.

What do you think about running mihawk - sanji combo?
