Ooooh! Thanks for the in-depth of how to play. I didn’t look into it cuz I wasn’t participating at the event at where this was going to held at BUT it does sound really fun. Now I don’t have to lose alone. my buddy gonna drop me real quick 😅😅😅
Buddy Battle, it’s about the teammates we lost along the way, lol! But no, it definitely seems interesting! Now gotta wait for One Piece Commander! haha
personally, been brainstorming a Kaido-Smoker pairing, just cuz Board Wipe Kaido won’t affect Borsalino or Starter Smoker, so you can set up your team nicely. I also like Support Sanji, which is flood the board with Characters while still keeping up Don to play counters.
Zoro + King (if both effects work on both player’s turns), Zoro plays Aggro as usual but then King gets double the ability to control board because it basically gets a 2k+ off of zoro ability and king ability (judging that “10 don” applies from either or yourself)
Recently played this at my house with a group of friends, and we had a blast. The possible teamwork combinations are too fun. We're starting to brainstorm decks to support each other in Buddy Battle. I did have a question. Can you use your don on your teammates turn to activate their event counters while being attacked? or vice versa?
that's awesome! as for the counter questionn, I believe you can only use your own don for your own counter events. So you can still protect your teammate, but it has to be your own card.
gotta pretend to be the other players. That’s how I’ve won all of my Super Smash Bros matches back in the day. ORRRRR get together with some online buddies!
so, with 1c Buggy, you can target your buddy’s deck to search top 5 cards of their deck and put 1 impel down card that you find to their hand. You wouldn’t be able to search your deck and add the card to your buddy’s hand. (as far as my understanding of the rules)
I believe it will only work on your personal turn. There’s a clarification i found in the judge discord: “If an effect specifies conditions or costs, it refers to the player using the card (not their partner), unless otherwise indicated.” In this case, the keyword “Your Turn” is a condition for the effect.
I believe due to some new rulings, Zoro's ability only works on your actual turn, as the "Your Turn" is the key word and not in the effect's description
How far does the “you” replaced with either teammates thing go For cards like death wink or love love mellow. Can they check your teammates hand and have them draw cards? Also Can searcher cards search your teammates deck.
so as far as I understand, yeah, you can use a card like love love mellow for their character, and the effect would look at their hand for 3 cards, and they would draw. Searcher can also search your teammates deck, but the cards have to meet the requirements (like Pudding needs to find Big Mom Pirates) and it would go to their hand.
I believe due to some new rulings, Zoro's ability only works on your actual turn, as the "Your Turn" is the key word and not in the effect's description
maybe! There's counter mechanics now, yeah? So that would help with the defensive strategy. Otherwise it'd just be blocking for each other. The only thing that might get a bit wonky is memory.
to clarify, what do you mean by “not me and my opponent”? If you have 8-drop kid on the field and are using the Don x1 effect, I believe both of your opponents have to KO the Kid first before they can target any non-Kid characters.
@@theotherdecks yea like the rules say we can’t share effects but if I have 8 drop kid down would that mean that both of my opponents have to attack the rested kid ?
I think when it says "Can't share effects" it's referring to trading cards from one player's hand to the other. But, if you and your teammate were playing Double Kaido, you should be able to activate Onigashima to ramp your teammate. Like that would be allowed, cuz the "your" you would declare to be your teammate. Thing I'd be careful of, if you wanted to use Onigashima like this, then your teammate needs to be using an Animal Kingdom Pirate leader as well. Like, I don't think that you switch who the "your" is referring to in the middle of effect resolution. (But that's just a theory currently, waiting to see if any of the niche scenarios have been cleared up by the devs and the Judge's Discord)
So, I’ll preface this by saying that this might be one of those niche scenarios they’re trying to figure out. BUT, I will say that it probably doesn’t apply on both yours AND your teammate’s turns. It will probably just apply to one, and you’ll have to declare it when you play it and probably on subsequent turns. But, if there’s additional info and clarification, I’ll reply here
yeah, a little intensive for sure. I think if you know your playgroup or even your partner, could be a ton of fun! But it’s one of those “with the right people” type of formats I feel
me and my buddys got together and it took bout 30 to 40 min per game we managed to squeeze 3 games 2v2 and a single 1v1 battle into about less than 3 hrs
So basically, I assist my teammate in taking my Ls.
lol, that’s how I feel. Teammate looks on with pain as I try to “help” them lol
Ooooh! Thanks for the in-depth of how to play. I didn’t look into it cuz I wasn’t participating at the event at where this was going to held at BUT it does sound really fun. Now I don’t have to lose alone. my buddy gonna drop me real quick 😅😅😅

What happens when my teammate goes out of lives?
Wow! Cannot wait to try this! Are there any combos or effects you think could be particularly nasty for this format?

Tried this out today and was super fun and we won every game lol

3:50 what do you mean by you can’t share effects?
Thank you man for the insightful video! But question, how do you play this format if you have no friends?
gotta pretend to be the other players. That’s how I’ve won all of my Super Smash Bros matches back in the day.
ORRRRR
get together with some online buddies!
What if I run a Nami deck and run out of cards during buddy battle, do both me and my partner win?
Nice video... but I got a question, it's a 1v1 (AvA - BvB) or the player can choose who they are going to attack? Ty
the player can choose who to attack.
So if A1 is attacking, they can either opt to attack B1 or B2 (where the teams at A1A2 vs B1B2)
Sold
So I could play 1c buggy, or 3c doffy and rearrange my buddies deck in any order or add an impel down to their hand?
so, with 1c Buggy, you can target your buddy’s deck to search top 5 cards of their deck and put 1 impel down card that you find to their hand. You wouldn’t be able to search your deck and add the card to your buddy’s hand.
(as far as my understanding of the rules)
Nice Video -> but short Question: How does the 10 cost Kuzan works. Works the -5 cost Effect in his and in my Turn?
I believe it will only work on your personal turn.
There’s a clarification i found in the judge discord:
“If an effect specifies conditions or costs, it refers to the player using the card (not their partner), unless otherwise indicated.”
In this case, the keyword “Your Turn” is a condition for the effect.
does zero leader effect count for ur buddy turn? 1 don plus 1000 for all ur characters?
I believe due to some new rulings, Zoro's ability only works on your actual turn, as the "Your Turn" is the key word and not in the effect's description
How far does the “you” replaced with either teammates thing go
For cards like death wink or love love mellow.
Can they check your teammates hand and have them draw cards?
Also
Can searcher cards search your teammates deck.
so as far as I understand, yeah, you can use a card like love love mellow for their character, and the effect would look at their hand for 3 cards, and they would draw.
Searcher can also search your teammates deck, but the cards have to meet the requirements (like Pudding needs to find Big Mom Pirates) and it would go to their hand.
How do Buddy Battles work with the new Nami leader that says you win the game if you have no cards left?
both players have to deck out, not just the Nami player
@@theotherdeckswhat happens if the non nami player deck out before nami, do the nami squad lose?
Does zoro leader effect apply for both team mates?
I believe due to some new rulings, Zoro's ability only works on your actual turn, as the "Your Turn" is the key word and not in the effect's description
Thanks! This as very helpful! Subd!
thank you! glad it helped and appreciate you subbing!
i wonder if something like this is possible for digimon
maybe! There's counter mechanics now, yeah? So that would help with the defensive strategy. Otherwise it'd just be blocking for each other.
The only thing that might get a bit wonky is memory.
So 8 drop kid only effects me not me and my opponent correct ?
to clarify, what do you mean by “not me and my opponent”?
If you have 8-drop kid on the field and are using the Don x1 effect, I believe both of your opponents have to KO the Kid first before they can target any non-Kid characters.
@@theotherdecks yea like the rules say we can’t share effects but if I have 8 drop kid down would that mean that both of my opponents have to attack the rested kid ?
I thought you could share some effects, welp there goes my double kaido ramp strat
I think when it says "Can't share effects" it's referring to trading cards from one player's hand to the other. But, if you and your teammate were playing Double Kaido, you should be able to activate Onigashima to ramp your teammate.

Does 10 drop kuzan apply on mine and my teamates turns
So, I’ll preface this by saying that this might be one of those niche scenarios they’re trying to figure out. BUT, I will say that it probably doesn’t apply on both yours AND your teammate’s turns. It will probably just apply to one, and you’ll have to declare it when you play it and probably on subsequent turns.
But, if there’s additional info and clarification, I’ll reply here
It only applies during your turn in this case
@@ohkhahrrr thanks! appreciate the help with this effect!
So both hit 0 then just 1 hit to either is a win
yup yup!
Hell yeah shits gonna be fun 😈
Lol yeah 90 min casual games? No thanks
yeah, a little intensive for sure. I think if you know your playgroup or even your partner, could be a ton of fun! But it’s one of those “with the right people” type of formats I feel
