There is this very small - almost insignificant detail - about sanji. He is straw hat. Of course everyone notices "oh so he is searchable as well now with law, leader effect and all", but thematically it is also the first time he is used in a deck where he isn't a random character in terms of lore.
Just being able to control what you draw with giant or what you trash with gavel if you run it is wild. Setting your draw lets you "search" for non straw hats, stacking the deck to control all of your effects and then having access to some of the best control tools in the game. So excited for this leader.
"Dude I really like this game but..." almost gave me a heart attack I thought I was ruining the game for someone for a second. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. I'll keep trying my best to get more stuff out that I enjoy making^^
love red purple luffy so when i saw this card i was so excited much running through my brain then i saw you had made a vid about it!! amazing! thanks for the quick upload, loved it
Thank a a lot, looking for trying this leader and waiting for future deck lists for it, as one who started recently playing OPTCG, I found you videos very helpful, LOVE your content😊
I've seen a few of your videos in passing, and have just subscribed. Your voice is so soothing comparative to what tends to be a much higher energy more grating vocal style of english RUclipsrs lol. Keep it up!
I think the support will be mostly blue straw hats, with play from top of deck kind of effects, so that controlling the top at the start of turn have a more significant effect with the cards from the set. I imagine more things like 9c Sanji and 3c Ivankov, but some cards like 4c Crocodile from st18, which reveals the top card, if it is of some type do something, this way you have an easier time guaranteeing these effects, and they can be a bit stronger than usual cause they will be "locked" to this leader to use "freely", and other blue leaders will have to have control of top cards to use them Great video, and i'm really excited for the reveals, your videos on them, and really bummed another cool 6k leader is coming to the game being a Shanks player 😂 i'ma get my ass wooped by 2 different Luffys now haha.
No one is mentioning that it is half purple so you can RAMP lol If you play it right you can definitely get to 8 quicker than normal!! Very powerful leader!
I think reordering ability for UP Luffy doesn't work like that (the part where you can pick and choose what goes on top or bottom). OP01 Perona has the same text and you can either choose the 5 to ALL go on top or ALL go to the bottom.
BP Luffy is looking like the premier top end control leader (In theory), it's really interesting, i'm curious what the support pieces are gonna look like. Also good clarification I didn't think about the phases when I read it the first time. (Also as a Boss Jimbei fan, happy he's finally gotten a leader 🎉)
I think he's interesting, but because he triggers before you get your don, your early game is a lot more vulnerable and slow, and blue doesn't offer as much to the leader as red in rp luffy. They're going to share most of the same weaknesses, but while rp luffy stalls with giant and top end and 9 mom, this deck needs to close a lot quicker as it can't pump his attack much higher or recover don lost
Man Im excited for shirahoshi and I really want her to work, but her forcing you to use cards that dont exist yet worries me, I hope she has some crazy support like Kalgara, that makes her somewhat good, t3-t2 type of good
Are you sure that you'll be able to put certain cards on bottom while keeping some on top with each set-up? I'm worried it will be ruled like perona where they all have to go one place?
I think you may have misunderstood, but you put all on top or all on bottom. He was referring to how customizable you can make your next draws for free, since you draw cards with Gum Gum Giant, or healing with 9c LinLin. But yeah the effect acts as both a searcher and an arranger. Extremely powerful
I'm curious to see how good this deck will actually be. Like this combo is very powerful, but I think in terms of consistancy and defense, RP Luffy is still better. Probably depends a lot on what kind of support the deck gets.
Idk why, but the set after the next set (What I mean by that is two sets after the set currently released, like the set after op10, the next set, is op11, the set after the next set) Always seems so exciting, no matter what
Before watching- on my first look it looks kinda good, not great though. It being blue is huge though because blue is a really good control colour right now Edit after watching- I forgot about gum giant which is massive, linlin heal is cool, I do think the sanji is likely gonna be the dominating build and strategy for this deck
hawkins theres a 3cost big mom pirates event that potentially ramps you two don but the condition is your opponent has to have a 6k body in play. the other good event is 4cost lead performer event ramp one draw one
I understood that the effect wouldn't trigger until 9-10 but i hadn't considered that you get the search, and THEN you get a draw. A draw 2 leader even at mid-late game is ridiculous. Add to that the purple ramp cards that exist and Pilaf in the same deck, if BP Luffy doesn't get rushed down immediately it has the potential to become a monster deck, and that's just with the existing cardpool. let alone what new cards OP11 will deliver. Already have my playset of Sanjis but now I gotta finish my set of OP09 Luffy/Strawhat cards
This leader looks absolutely busted. I’m thinking straight ramp with 3c zoro and bon clay to get to 8 and 9 don as quick as possible into monsters for the remaining turns. Absolutely loving how the card game is playing out
These clarifications are huge. Super happy you got this out so quickly for people. My goat!
I'm just hyped man. Getting information out there for people is a byproduct of me projecting my enthusiasm ^^^^^

Yea it's great he's finally in a strawhat deck!

what a PLEASANT SURPRISE! such a fun leader on the horizon and a lovely video uploaded by ikailakai.
Dude I like this game a lot but your videos make it even better, always really happy to see one of your videos 👍
"Dude I really like this game but..." almost gave me a heart attack I thought I was ruining the game for someone for a second.
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. I'll keep trying my best to get more stuff out that I enjoy making^^
@ nop thanks to you it’s better everyday 😂
Breathe, Kai! Breathe!
Amazing! Had so many misconceptions that got cleared up
love red purple luffy so when i saw this card i was so excited much running through my brain then i saw you had made a vid about it!! amazing! thanks for the quick upload, loved it

TY for video Kai!
super cool leader, the extra draw per turn also helps the main issue with a 3 life leader, that being the lack of draw from life
Thank you for the clarifications! This is still a leader i am looking forward to add to my roster.
Thank you for everything you do for both the East and West Communities ❤
Regardless of whether this leader ends up being meta, it’s really exciting to think about and work on!
Your videos are cool and on point. I like that
The builds on this one are gonna go crazy
This is bound to at least be a fun leader to play, Regardless of meta-viability!
This theory crafting is awesome , the deck sounds awesome
I was thinking about tossing together a video myself 🤣. RP Luffy players flocked on this one ❤️❤️
Tq bro for making the video🎉
Imagine it was Blue/Green you could do the Sanji play out Zoro 9cost too that would’ve been crazy too
Bronthis alt art from this luffy gona be wild

Great video, and i'm really excited for the reveals, your videos on them, and really bummed another cool 6k leader is coming to the game being a Shanks player 😂 i'ma get my ass wooped by 2 different Luffys now haha.
Yeah hoping that this is the case so that blue/green Zoro/Sanji gets support as well.
Just when I thought Bandai couldnt get any stupider...they go and make a leader like this....AND COMPLETELY REDEEM THEMSELVES!!!
No one is mentioning that it is half purple so you can RAMP lol
If you play it right you can definitely get to 8 quicker than normal!!
Very powerful leader!
Well we thought Bon Clay was expensive before
Bandai cooking this time
I was hyped for Shirahoshi for 5 second
before I read this card and got COMPLETE MIND BLOWN !!
Tbh I'm also actually interested in Jinbe. The base art for him is already great hahaha
Excited, also big rp luffy fan. Do you think duval or x drake or the 多色 ulti will be played? Cant wait to see what cards drop!
Was not expecting another 6K leader and specially not one with such an interesting search skill
I think reordering ability for UP Luffy doesn't work like that (the part where you can pick and choose what goes on top or bottom). OP01 Perona has the same text and you can either choose the 5 to ALL go on top or ALL go to the bottom.

(Also as a Boss Jimbei fan, happy he's finally gotten a leader 🎉)
This is UP Luffy. BP Luffy is the 09 Luffy.
@AnimeALX yeah forgot to use U, oops

let's see if they finally print some blue event that kills some early pressure
@ace_sweethell292 I mean we got brick fist n three thousand worlds, they're just really fair
Man Im excited for shirahoshi and I really want her to work, but her forcing you to use cards that dont exist yet worries me, I hope she has some crazy support like Kalgara, that makes her somewhat good, t3-t2 type of good
Thank you for the content! Is it just me, or do you resemble the actor cast as Mr. 3 in Netflix's live-action adaptation?
Shoot I was excited to search every turn after turn 2 with black maria
Honestly this is also really cool, but first impression ramping seems more stable. We'll see though. No idea what's in store for the deck
Are you sure that you'll be able to put certain cards on bottom while keeping some on top with each set-up? I'm worried it will be ruled like perona where they all have to go one place?

Damn i went immediately to buy 4 sanji ant it already had gone up by 10 euros, just 2 hours after the announcement.
Just bought 4x op06 sanji because of this deck, coming from pluffy :^)
Im so excited for my fav strawhat, Jinbe, to finally have a leader ❤❤
Jinbe as a character is so underrated ^^
In your cope decks of opo9 you said u like playing throgh judge in reiju, can you put up a video about it? Mabye a gampelay video
3:28 Problem is: You lose your leader ability if you actually use Gum Gum Giant because you go back to 7 DON.
5c kid 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@JoshDerksen-q4vwhich works only during your turn.
you dont though. you have 10 don, go -2 for giant, still have 8 for leader ability.
He can ramp to Grav blade and red roc. Nothing is safe.
Bb is dead
Just wanna say as a marco player who turned into a pluffy player im hyped for this leader! Almost makes me wanna skip op 10 just to play 11
Idk why, but the set after the next set (What I mean by that is two sets after the set currently released, like the set after op10, the next set, is op11, the set after the next set) Always seems so exciting, no matter what
2c teach is gonna be really funny in this deck
Good ol' Bandai powercreep
I play Marco, and will try this deck for sure xD
can we have a eb02 tierlist prediction
Before watching- on my first look it looks kinda good, not great though. It being blue is huge though because blue is a really good control colour right now
Edit after watching- I forgot about gum giant which is massive, linlin heal is cool, I do think the sanji is likely gonna be the dominating build and strategy for this deck
Where's the vegapunk video???
Would you have to send all 5 cards to top or bottom or can you mix them up? Ex 3 top 2 bottom ?
We want new ramping strawhat purple cards for RP Luffy ❤️
This would elevate both decks. I think it's quite possible
Why are usopp players taking out 8 drop gecko? Friends & I have been speculating but I thought u might have a real answer
Needing some for Teach players in west plss😢❤
But if you use gum gum giant on 10, you won't be able to use leader effect the next turn right?
Don -2 so total 8 don... u should be able to use ldr skill next turn
Did you saw the luffy manga card from EB02? It looks soooo goood 😫
Yea it looks sick! I need some time to formulate my opinions on the card though. It's hard to rate
I need more Marco coping from the community (and you 👀). people just gave up on the deck 😭
Dude all the 9c sanji got bought out in the last day.... all 270 of them up on tcgplayer. Seriously...
I hope for a solid 3-4 drop that ramps 1 don so I don't have to buy bon kurei XD
hawkins theres a 3cost big mom pirates event that potentially ramps you two don but the condition is your opponent has to have a 6k body in play. the other good event is 4cost lead performer event ramp one draw one
so, what you're saying is that its even better lol
Good thing I'm a Teach player ZEHAHAHAH
Been loving your content for months and months. Hoping you might cover OP09 Robin at some point!
It's sh*t and Always Will be here It Is covered lol
I understood that the effect wouldn't trigger until 9-10 but i hadn't considered that you get the search, and THEN you get a draw. A draw 2 leader even at mid-late game is ridiculous.

Already have my playset of Sanjis but now I gotta finish my set of OP09 Luffy/Strawhat cards
as a RP luffy fan, im also exited about this new leader.
9 Sanji - 7 Luffy - 5 Sanji 🤔
This leader looks absolutely busted. I’m thinking straight ramp with 3c zoro and bon clay to get to 8 and 9 don as quick as possible into monsters for the remaining turns. Absolutely loving how the card game is playing out
Impel Down luffy
Promo Usopp
I called it op 11 better than op 10. Where's my cookie????
Bon Clays about to get even more expensive
i kind thought thats how it works lol but youre in purple so..
Just imagine playing Sanji into Luffy-taro into San-goro/Zoro-juurou
