i recently jumped of the RG Law cope train, on to PB Luffy, oh my god this is exactly the deck i needed, mix of tempo, removal, exactly the playstyle i like in MTG. Also the listed you showed is 99% the way i play it with 3 lightnings instead of 4 and 2 Ice age , removing 1 sabo for the second ice age and the other sabo for a second 4k law.
I was literally just looking at an op09 meta breakdown and I was like none of my decks are on here. Then you posted this and showed off alot of mine I have had success with. Thank you for your video. I have boa, Vega, reiju and foxy
very excited for the vegapunk vids, i just picked it up as my first real deck and im committed to making it work so some guides would be greatly appreciated
this is the second time i randomly stumbled into one of your videos from a twitter post, and i really like your quality of content and how concise you are with explaining things. you got a sub from me
I'm enjoying playing Rebecca lately, but I'm always on very low life as I get the Kuzan Arumaki combo going and enemy is on like 4-5 life... Might have to wait for the buffs in op10 lol.
Depend the deck you will be face. Against yellow, BBeard and Shanks i thinks it's better. Otherwise, Lightning hit more target and it's searchable but at the same time, you can play with Ice Age or Tsuru/One-Legged Toy Soldier ... OPTCG miss so much a side deck.
I’m still looking for a decklist that successfully combines power reduction like gamma knife or the brook with lightning instead of cost reduction with top knot. Lightning is just too consistent by itself and I hate splitting them because you always seem to end up with the wrong one.
I think together with gum-gum lightining, Top Knot is a great pick for BP Luffy, because it can bottom deck Burgess and with some cost reduction from the black side can bottom deck really big characters and alleviate late game pressure together with giant to defend lower power attacks
For sure. PB Luffy actually has a pretty good matchup spread, but being 4 life with no good ways to increase resources means that Doflamingo is a big problem. Still, having Top Knot as well can help with the 4 costs in Doflamingo. Only issue is you can't use it and Lightning on the same turn without being punished
@@Nellyson5000 PB Luffy doesn't have enough cards in hand to play a more technical control game through cost reduction and top knot using stuff like Ice Age due to the fact that he's a 4 life leader. Every card is valuable to PB Luffy. Top Knot bottoms a 4 cost, but Lightning hits a 6000 power character and is a strawhat, meaning it's searchable. 6000 power equates to a 5 cost generally. So the isolated value of Lightning is higher. Which is why I prefer it.
I've had a lot of success with boa in 09, the worst matchups imo are Lucci, Smoker, BP Luffy, and then probably Doffy at around 45-55. Everything else is 50-50 or favored to boa. For example, boa's perfect curve going second can do well into pluffy's curve. Turn 1 we play 2 1 costs, turn 2 jinbe+law to bounce zoro-jurou, turn 3 swing 5 5 5 and bounce their sangoro with jozu, turn 4 is free space to swing with don or gravity blade/red roc their rush luffy, then turn 5 kaido on curve. Its very easy to maintain a life advantage and if you can stick this curve its very winnable. Same goes for doffy, If you can hit jinbe law and manage to survive to late game, you can turn things around with your stronger high end. The main problem is that in the west, Lucci is still very popular, so I don't see her winning or being played at many big events.
great vid! tho i do want to share that last 3v3 in PH (jp format op09) the 3rd/4th place team ran blue buggy, ry belo betty, and pb luffy! their run was rly good and i think u can consider their lists too
One personal cope I can add: G/Y Yamato. I thought there's no way this deck would be good, but I saw it get 2-3 tops in Regionals around OP08 Format in the West and in my experience it's surprisingly good this format. It works, because many decks in the Meta like Shanks or Blackbeard, even Lucci, wanna get to the late game to put out their 8-10 cost bodies that are non-counters, but you just kill them beforehand. PLuffy is even better cuz he takes his own life and makes your job easier. And you can rush down any non-meta 4 life deck like PB Luffy and Bello Betty. So the decklists that saw success are basically just gimmicky hyper-aggro with a bunch of rest-events and some Wano cards along with 16-20ish bodies that play themselves from life (Cracker, Satori, Nekomamushi), along with 4 Hody. But Doffy is a near-unwinnable matchup and they get a lot of counter power in their hands too, so it suffers from the same issue as Bello Betty lmao So feel free to bring it as a meta call, if you trust in the fact that you will get lucky and not encounter many Doffies.
Hi Kailakai, do you have a recommended card shop/locals for One Piece in the Tokyo area? I'll be going there on vacation in a couple of weeks and am interested in picking up some cards and playing some games.
There was 1 Yamato at the very very start of OP09 that did well. But I hadn't seen her since. A lot of these decks just lose to Doflamingo. But if you disregard that matchup, she can be interesting. The resident Yamato expert I know is @fudelioTCG on UA-cam, so maybe try shooting him the question too. He's more knowledgeable on Yamato.
They are not my images they're directly from the person being referenced. But I'll look into the future to making them more visually clear. Thank you for the feedback
This inconsistency of some characters (not all) names being pronounced in japanese was throwing me off and made it harder to listen to what you were saying. Had to stop the video half way through
Can you maybe make a video about Control vegapunk / aggro Punk decklists u use and the key cards and how to play it?
Genuinely still hoping for videos on Yellow Kidd and GreenYellow Law

It’s crazy how varied builds are. I normally don’t care much for ramping in MTG but it feels right here and more fun than pluffy

almost to 11k already!! v deserved, congrats
i just picked up reiju and was somewhat surprised at how strong it felt into some relevant match ups
I love you bro thanks for making these videos !

Nice jacket! Thanks for the videos. 👾
Thank you! Nice Profile Picture
I run PB Luffy and I play Top Knot over Lightning. I can combo cost reducers into Top Knot to remove higher end characters.
This play is so satisfying
It’s pretty strong, but I’ve found more consistent success with lightning
Id rather split the lightning with the top knots in the deck. Jesus burgess is too annoying of a card to not texh against

You're gonna need to ask CrossAi about Katakuri that deck is dead till op10💀
play egghead katakuri, trust me. full triggers and full hopes

I don't have much contact with South East Asia. Am very curious about their lists though so I'll try to find it. Thank you!
What are your thoughts on RY Sabo with the new st21 luffy? Great video btw!
I'll need to actually test it. But I see people around me having lots of fun with the deck
Post-Timeskip Kai got the glow up.
should do advanced guides on decks if you need more videos ideas
bro what a good video.
Did a 3 v 3 tourney in Michigan and Belo, P/B Luffy and smoker took it! 21 teams!
That's crazy lmao
Can we get some gameplay of op10 rebecca vs her strongest and worse matches? I loved your decklist video, but i want to see how it runs live
WHERES RED SANJI
2c event in eb02 gonna make boa so powerful.
Would be interested to hear what you think of zoro in the op09 meta?
Has the same problem Belo Betty has where she has decent matchups generally, but a bad Doflamingo matchup. Generally solid though
The lack of red black sabo hurts 😔
Hi thanks for throwing this together - is the Kaido linlin in PB luffy for one particular mu like blackbeard?
Great content
Such a great video , watching it while i drive to work and i can absorb all information with ease (no diddy)
careful texting and driving friend
I love PB Luffy whether its meta or not :]
For those in the US, is it possible to buy the vegapunk list?
Amazing
One personal cope I can add: G/Y Yamato.
I thought there's no way this deck would be good, but I saw it get 2-3 tops in Regionals around OP08 Format in the West and in my experience it's surprisingly good this format.
It works, because many decks in the Meta like Shanks or Blackbeard, even Lucci, wanna get to the late game to put out their 8-10 cost bodies that are non-counters, but you just kill them beforehand.
PLuffy is even better cuz he takes his own life and makes your job easier. And you can rush down any non-meta 4 life deck like PB Luffy and Bello Betty.
So the decklists that saw success are basically just gimmicky hyper-aggro with a bunch of rest-events and some Wano cards along with 16-20ish bodies that play themselves from life (Cracker, Satori, Nekomamushi), along with 4 Hody.

So feel free to bring it as a meta call, if you trust in the fact that you will get lucky and not encounter many Doffies.
It would be great to see more Yamato! Having a good matchup into Belo Betty if true would be a good reason to bring her over Belo Betty as well.
Bro got on that yohji yamamoto to help spread cope 👑 my hero
Vegapunk decklist for OP10 please
Please do an update on GB Perona T-T
Sad that Green Purple Doflamingo didn't make it 😢
Any advice on playing against shanks. Rn it’s overrunning our locals meta
Red purple Luffy / Board clear decks like Lucci
@ any advice with bdoffy? I followed Patreons doffy guide haha. Was good 👍. But struggling maybe 3/4 of the time against it

PY Robin didn't make the list? I am in extreme cope it seems..
What is your thoughts on Yamato with the Tropical storm event plus Robin 6 cost on the OP09 Meta ?

There were actually some RP Kid results I should have talked about haha
Pluffy and doffy are good mu for boa. Lucci is auto loss
Can zooro cook?
Could you please try to not use AA art makes it hard to tell what the card is sometimes
They are not my images they're directly from the person being referenced. But I'll look into the future to making them more visually clear. Thank you for the feedback
BY luffy not good enough to make the normal meta breakdown
not bad enough to make the cope list
just good enough to 7-3
These are great!!! Please help me win with Vegapunk!
Rebecca rules
lets go boa gaming
BP luffy is not cope i swear!
Filipino daw oh 😂 uy
IKAILAKAI 2025 TAKEOVER RANK1
Belo Betty beats BB! ... But then loses to all the other meta decks.

Nobody talks about Nico Robin. I guess its just a bad deck in the east
