I'm not saying Marco won't be good, but I remember the last time Chris hyped up a Blue Red leader... In all seriousness, people need to pump the breaks on this being the next Saka (meaning it will get banned). Everyone is vastly underestimating having a free ability, utilizing the discarded cards (so not just a 1 for 1 loot) AND how well Blue/Black synergize. All this and we already see Saka no longer dominating the meta (still one of the best, but no longer by itself). I can see Marco falling into a similar spot in the meta. Really good, but just another option to play, which would be perfectly fine
My thoughts for Carrot are the Mink's tribe characters that will be introduced in OP08 will have effects that activate when one of your opponent's characters switch from active to rested. I think that will be a good direction to take the deck since it's a form of gameplay that is very rarely explored in this.
Keep doing your content man this game is only gonna get bigger and your knowledge about the game is very good people look for your guys opinions on new things like this
OK, so i have seen gameplay of Marco leader and he is A tier currently with no known cards from the set but when we see what cards he gets to go along with his ability then we can establish if marco is a S tier leader for now A is where i have him based on no info of the set. In all likelihood Marco will get something strong and be busted. I know i will be playing marco in op08 and Lucci in op07 so i'm set for those two lol.
Prediction for me is the green is gonna get a minks and animals searcher in green to synergize with chopper and carrot. Then a mix of good green minks cards that can maybe play out animal cards (ohm holy type cards)
I'm all in on King in op08, I loved Zeph all the cost based destruction in those colors, plus now I get Onigashima and 10 drop Kaido. I don't even care if he's good.
Personally I don't the think the sanji line sticks it's only at 10 don and you're a 4 life leader and doesn't leave up radbeam so living afterwards might be sketchy esp since you can't always plan to go 2nd or not run into a 5c Bonney stunning a don. However the free otama is crazy he's definitely got way more going for him than most leaders
The Sanji play can also drop a 9c White Beard which makes your opponent trying to lethal you significantly harder too though. The 2k on top of building your hand via leader ability the entire game makes you significantly bulkier. What you cheat out could also be a body like 8c Armaki if he makes the cut. It could also just end the game the turn it comes out if it plays something like 8c Dragon. Sanji is a multi-faceted play is all I’m getting at. The Bonney counter play is a legitimate counter argument however, no denying that.
Sanji can play 8 Cost Dragon which gives your leader the Don. Allowing you to leave one for radbeam if you wanted. Sanji’s three main draw backs: - not being able to stack efficiently while also developing board - it cost 9. - the card you want to play could be in hand. This leader covers two of those. Built in stack and can stack from hand.
@SmallHatCrew sanji into WB is nice but I still feel it's risky when you consider that other popular decks can pressure you still and since it's a full don commitment any counter events in hand will be dead. Like can you really afford to do sanji into WB after your opponent dropped a gecko Moira or even 2 if they went 2nd
My question about Marco is handsize. I think you lose hand way too fast. If you leader effect into 9c Sanji you have no don up for rad beam and at that point 4c Marco and 0c events ruin your hand even faster. I also think Carrot resting 5c bodies like Sabo is insane. Blockers don’t really exist against her
I cant tell if Marco will be as dominant as Sakazuki. His effects are amazing, so he'll be top 5 in his format no doubt. But his colors don't inherently synergize like Sakazuki's. Unless they print some NUTTY new blue cards!
I don’t think his colors have to synergize with each other tbh since they both synergize with his leader ability. He could be a red leader that only runs 1 blue card in Sanji and that would likely be viable enough on its own since it’s just being used as a tool to abuse the red card pool even further. Gotta remember in OP05 Saka did the same, he played a black deck that abused 2 blue cards at most. The same can apply to Marco. Rebecca did the same also in OP04.
This is Saka with RUSH and Power based destruction. It will be worse than playing against Saka. It will lean towards Red (excluding unknown new support) with a few key Blue cards. Jozu 2k rush for surprise finishes Rush Ace live Cycle every turn while hitting bodies for "8k" Strawbeard 5c Marco popping 5k+ bodies regularly More people should be upset about the Saka ban
Marco is basically the new Sakazuki and I have no doubt that it will also be thrown on the ban list at a later point. The leader is powerful and has too much potential.
I think it depends on support.. with the current card pool marco definitely doesn’t beat op07 yellow. He 1000% can’t outlive Enel and the whole early katakuri aggression + 10C BM also murders him. I also don’t know if he can compete with black as black is immune to KO and Moria is still the strongest SR in the game while Stusy is just bananas as a card. Both Lucci and Moria have 5 lives as well. This is a 4 life leader. Remains to be seen and depends on the support.
Also BY Luffy is another tier 1 deck in op07. I can’t see marco beating him and outliving him either.. BY being a 9K leader with 2 blockers every turn is pretty hard for macro to keep up while not dying as he is only a 4 life leader
For Carrot to make her good is to have some swarm style of play for the minks and to possibly have a stage referencing the minks unique abilities and it gives all minks or up to 2 rush. Maybe, i think they can make them good but it'll depend on what cards they give us.
Enjoy the content, but I really think it would be better for content to actually think of ways something can work than just send minutes on end ragging on something. Makes it hard to watch sometimes.
Literally in the video: “what do you think it would take for this card to see play?” Or like when I literally theorycrafted a card I’d like her to get to make her leader ability more reasonable? Was the Perona comparison never supposed to be brought up? I gave the Perona criticism then played devil’s advocate in favor of Carrot for the majority of her screentime afterward yet here we are. I do RUclips for fun so if I’m not enjoying myself I won’t upload. If how I enjoy my hobby & spend my free time is a hard watch for you, there are other creators out there that are probably a better fit.
@@SmallHatCrew it’d probably never work irl but already been thinking about Moria recycling Vinsmoke, st04 Jack putting Hina in trash to ramp + set up Rebecca/Hina/Lucci, all kinds of ridiculous possibilities that likely never work 🤣

Marco is gonna be cracked, I can see multiple builds for him already. So stoked to see small hat content again!

9c Sanji into 7c Ace will be crazy
I was NOT expecting the papaya outro song 😂

Bandai balance team once again showing us that they share one brain cell. Resting one 5c unit = cycling/stacking and power reduction.
Ban Saka. Reveal Red Saka 2 weeks later.
Bandai!

@HeavyC31190 if you do that though your leader isn't stacking dragon on the deck for sanji so you won't get get radbeam protection.

@@leviponce7730 you do have prior turns and the blue card pool. I think WB and Dragon will both utility and make up for the gaps you mentioned.
Sanji into Whitebeard gonna go CRAZYYYY
Are locals coming back?

I told you the streets was hungry for this gang
Whens the New Tier List coming out!!😢😢
Big Oda energy with these damn breaks!! xD
Marco is basically the new Sakazuki and I have no doubt that it will also be thrown on the ban list at a later point. The leader is powerful and has too much potential.
As a Saka main, I'm livid that they banned Saka just to reveal this. Saka with Rush and power destruction!
Fuck Bandai 😢

Don't forget pudding
That Marco should have to rest 2 for effect did they just fucking forgot about resting don for cost that was the whole blue archetype early on
For Carrot to make her good is to have some swarm style of play for the minks and to possibly have a stage referencing the minks unique abilities and it gives all minks or up to 2 rush. Maybe, i think they can make them good but it'll depend on what cards they give us.
Its a red blue saka haha
Sure its don x1 but u get the draw first and then "discard"
And it has the reducuton like saka
Depends on the support for now it’s not even close to saka
Wassup bro
U guys completely missed carrots potential
If you say so!
