It's called balanced and futureprove card Design! SAKA is ruining all Black and Blue Leaders! SAKA is just obsolete! Surpassing all BLACK and BLUE Leaders simultaneously! That is stupid!!! If you don't agree with this solid point then you are JUST straight up ignorant!
Removing Great Eruption is a hard thing for smoker players or even Moria, you want as much value reducing costs and having a draw bonus which those decks don’t have
It's a great deterrent! Geckomoria 8c would be too broken with great eruption! Black would be too problematic going into the future and it would ruin the competitive scene!!!
Yeah great eruption was totally the problem. Not bege, not amaru, not 10c mom or yamato. But DARN THOSE SAKA PLAYERS USING GREAT ERUPTION grrr how dare they use a card that replaces itself. Only thing allowed to replace itself is life. In a yellow deck. Duh
Why didn’t they make sakas ability like a “discard a card:choose one” kinda like Perona. Wouldn’t have butchered him but he wouldn’t have been as strong.
The only issue was that it had a free draw outlet and even great eruption replaces itself in every black deck. You may complain about new genesis but it is locked to green uta.
My problem I have with big mom 10 cost is very simple. It has 2 very powerful effects as well as being a massive body you have to deal with. They gain a life and you trash a life which you don’t even get that card and now deal with massive body. I played saka into katakuri match and played through 7 cost big mom, 8 cost katakuri, and two 10 cost big mom. They dropped their third 10 cost big mom and I knew I lost this match as I can no longer deal with that.
Ay appreciate it 🙏🏾 Its definitely why I prefer to have more than 1 person on a video at a time. The more perspectives the better. Way too easy to get caught up in your own opinion if nobody’s there to challenge it
Just started playing. These discussion videos are pretty good to get a hold of whats up. Just build blue purple croc as my first deck. Loving the deck so far, it just feels kinda meh in strength to whats out there. Anyways, cheers!
6:00, I think it was either banning Sakazuki or banning or restricting a bunch of blue/ black cards. They can't hit Rebecca given it has an SP, Lucci has an SP, and Borsa (7) has an SP. Although it makes sense for them to be banned/ restricted in some way, given how strong they are, it doesn't make sense from the company's perspective. Although Hound Blaze was an issue and could have been banned, I am pretty sure everyone knows that hound blaze sucks unless you are specifically playing Sakazuki. The leader doesn't have any upcoming SP version, and only has AA that came out in OP05 (which is being rotated out for op06), thus by banning Sakazuki, it doesn't hurt their profits, minimizes loss of card choice, and solves the issue that the community wants.
Also I feel like we can see some more vanillas seeing play and maybe even the "when attacking" coming back so some slower cards can come back. Honestly I see Uta kinda popping off now
I will always advocate for choice restrictions. That is the perfect way to hit decks that are strong without gutting the rest. For example: Choice restrict Rebecca and Sakazuki Leader(you can choose to play one or the other in a deck)
Made more sense to ban saka then errata that actual card because it would’ve cause too much confusion and bs for a card in a set we don’t know will be reprinted.
Building for more than one deck is an impossibility. It is like building for Zoro, Saka and Yellow it is all different right. Bandai needs to fix it by giving us a 15-card side deck to handle multiple match-ups. This game is too competitive to have a straight 50-card deck and like have a one-off tech that you may never see or is useless for everything else. And it is not a wrong thing to have more than one good deck. That is the hallmark of a good competitive meta where multiple decks are topping. And Saka being gone is a problem for the game more than a help.
@@SmallHatCrew it would definitely shake up the meta but I get the feeling they want people to actually get to use AA tashigi searchers SP Borsalino and give gecko and perona more power with GE. Also they probably won't do the ban in English until they have promo Sakazukis ready for us in EN that seems like theor "compensation" even though the leader is booty
@@sparkiie6452I think people will try at first but come to realize needing 3 cards for a combo and losing two cycle effects, plus having to specifically discard navy cards will makes a lot more dead cards in hand and not mention you lose card advantage super fast. As soon as another blue black leader comes out that can attack will instantly replace saka promo.
Hot take keep great eruption banned but errata Saka to discard a navy type to draw 1 and give an opponent’s character-2cost turning every card in hand into great eruption
Hahaha, so make every other black deck suck and Saka even more broken? Free cycle plus -2 cost on an opponent’s character every turn? And I thought the Boat was too good
@@amvoriginalit seems you don’t play saka. Having to discard a navy card is a very heavy cost in these builds. You can no longer pitch Rebecca(if you have too many), lucci, gekko, kaido and sabos. Making this deck have a lot more bricks to happen as you don’t to discard your 2k cards and your cost reducers as much. This means it would force different build of saka deck which will play less of Rebecca, lucci, and gekko which then makes the combo everyone hate less consistent.
8:25-8:34 is just the most incorrect statement ever, plenty of decks are hard checked by saka far more than enel. The best deck couldnt possibly gatekeep more than the 2nd best deck
Someone on the discord said that Gavin(the white dude on the JP streams)said that these changes or some sort of them should hit us near op07@@SmallHatCrew
I think the great eruption ban is fair. In Asia decks like Rob Lucci can play 8 copies and I feel that it is way too much free value for decks like that.
If Lucci running 8 was problematic I’d be on board but even with 8 he doesn’t perform as well as these other leaders. It’s crazy to skip over Enel & Kata to come for leaders like Gecko & Lucci when they’re objectively performing worse. If anything it just proves they need the card to even attempt to keep up.
I hate Sakazuki but banning the entire leader was too much, I think adding choose one when attacking with 1 don would have been a good nerf, maybe banning great eruption aswell. (That said it's true a lot of leaders can be played now so the game is going to be more fun, maybe)
As a player that just bought his first one piece deck and it was sakazuki, I am incredibly pissed. If they had hit rebecca/hina/lucci/houndblze/eruption all at once i still woudve been totally fine with that because i had found my favorite deck and i can always make changes. Now i guess ill just sell my stuff and go back to yugioh.
Ban Reject because is awfull and unfair to deal 1 damage for free but not restrict 10C Big Mom who does the same thing but better it's strange... The people who say, it's hard to play 10C Big Mom are stuck in op03. With all the strong healing and swarm board trigger, it's difficult now to not find the window to play The Big Mom. At least, saka prevented this kind of game. I always said, the yellow balance it's just a question of HP. Just cut katakuri to 4 HP and Enel to 3. It's pretty fair especially when we see vegapunk with 3HP even though he can't attack. Besides, the last one won't be able to do anything against kata with his free trash HP or banish things..
As a Gecko player it’s def my easiest matchup, the game is decided by like turn 3 lmao. Hopefully he can overcome losing 1 body a turn tho, Saka outing 2 minimum was a death sentence
@@davidogburn5374 he does but with Gecko it’s just Lucci, with Saka it’s Lucci & the event and they can do it as early as turn 2 even if forced to go 1st
Ill be honest Im a mediocre Sakazuki player...in the truest sense of the term. I can win locals and push decently far in a larger event, but getting top 8 in big events with saka evaded me. I have never been as happy playing this game as when I am playing Saka. I love the discard and draw, drawing cards and playing removal...it did everything I wanted and was one of my favorite characters. With this banning, I don't know if I will be coming back to the game...the deck was everything I wanted out of the card game, and now i got like 2 weeks to play with a deck I had been fiending over since op03 when we first saw spoilers. If these bans are carried over to the west.....I guess I'm out of this game.
General player bases as a whole hate control decks. As an old school yugioh player people hated royal oppression which is now banned. In MTG the most hated color by the masses is blue yet in mtg its necessary evil. OP being a game that you cant counter cards from being played saka was the closest deck to removing anything that would be problematic for them making it the control deck of OP. The masses just hate control in any card game.
The ban is okay, Sakazuki was too good, but the errata really stings. It’s completely useless. If it at least still had the cycle “discard a [navy] to -1 cost OR draw a card” then it would’ve been at least playable and I don’t think it would’ve been that strong either. The errata will see 0 play and is just a waste of paper.
Coming from YGO, it's scary that they can just ban a Leader and destroy an entire deck. I was expecting hits but this was WAY too much. Where was this energy in Japan for Whitebeard? He was more dominant and only Red was winning. At least now we have a triangle format and other colors are top tier. Very sad day for me. Great Eruption and the terrible retrain was the rotten cherry on top.
Yeah they went absolutely nuclear on Saka for literally no reason. So many different ways to nerf him without outright banning him. The lengths they’ll go to avoid errataing their cards is honestly ridiculous
Well that’s my reason to quit. Thanks Bandai. Yellow gets 1 card banned in their 19 trigger card decks and they ban the 1st good control deck. Bandai is a fucking joke

did anyone think about when the ban is coming? April 1st. anyways I do appreciate the video about this.
28:45 Casual players will ALWAYS have cards they want banned. There will never be enough banned cards for casual players...

Great Eruption hurts. Gotta find out what to do with Gecko.
He was the best leader of EB01 + OP07! Like S tier. That is why they banned him as well.
they did like when they banned Edward they hit all red decks with those bans
And they create an other monster in op08 that ist kinda similar to saka. The Marcos leader is gonna be pretty strong
