These are great for the game imo. So many top tier decks have such tight lists that it will be hard for them to fit them since they are bricks and their typing is "Music", so they themselves will not be searchable in most decks. Many cry about Gecko being searchable, but Blackbeard has made that card and Lucci as a whole a non-factor. Speaking of Blackbeard, these searchers will help decks whose searchers might be On Play and stopped by Blackbeard. It helps rogue decks become more consistent. All in all, I think they are very good for the game.
Enel now has a searcher to find katakuti, yamato & ace katakuri can now cut down on perospero & puddings to have a searcher for nami, gedatsu, satori & anything else in addition to BMs. Can use the new kid from op10 & search for that even. bonnie can tech it to be able to search for Doffy, kid, shanks or zoro
I think they are pretty balanced because compared to the 1 cost character-based searchers, they are anti-tempo (1 more don without having a body) and bricky (no Counter value), so they are definitely not better than a Nami or a Jewelry Bonney (which costs 2 total don to activate ability, but at least forces/soaks an attack from your opponent). I think the best use for it is decks that can abuse the Trigger ability like some Yellow decks. Nico Robin comes to mind - I'm imagining a deck for her that can trash those cards to ramp like crazy in the early game and then repeatedly gain life with 9c Linlin/Yamato/10c Ace and get those cards as trigger and get more Linlin/Yamato/Ace.
1c search top 5 vs 2c search top 4 Rush decks like Belo Betty will punish players thinking to play the 2c search. Helps with midrange and control decks while making rush viable.
These cards are gonna be absolutely vile. Enel will be able to search ace, yamato and kata. Gecko is now searchable in every black deck. Bonney searching for 9zoro. This level on consistency is gonna be toxic af for the game i feel.
@GREENWARRI0R because some match ups are entirely dependant on your opponent bricking to win. Like Katakuri playing against Nami as an example of a crushing Matchup. As Kata, you have no chance unless your opponent bricks at some point. If you add consistency, and reduce the ability to brick in nami - what does kata do? Loses even more consistently. Maybe a better example is playing something like kuro against Lucci, Where Searching up Moria would essentially be GG for the entire game for the kuro player.
@@2rare2die26 Unfortuantely, games that have a "Hero" mechanic like One Pieces Leaders are always gonna have matchups that are lopsided. If the only way you can win a matchup is to have your opponent draw bad then its not a matchup you should probably win. Also, Kuro will never be good lmao, an event like this is the least of his worries.
@GREENWARRI0R That's exactly my point. These cards aren't going to Crack the meta open for bad leaders - generically good cards just make the best decks better. Kuro was just an example, please don't misconstrue my point
If you remember back in OP01-OP03, Red was the Hyper dominant decks. You would see the occasional Starter deck Kid and Kata hit top, but tournaments were ALWAYS won by red. You know why? Cuz in the first 3 sets, red had all the best generically good cards. On generically good leaders. I think these cards are neat, but I really do fear that these cards shift the focus farther away from archetypes, and focusing more on colors. People have compared this to a Digimon card: and idk. Digimon isn't necessarily the card game I would be emulating, considering it isn't in the top 5 - but that's just me
@@connorgriffin7046 That's a good point, I was definitely only thinking of Lucci in terms of meta decks that use Gecko. Still, BY Luffy has plenty of matchups that he can lose to, such as Doffy, Shanks and Blackbeard. It's definitely still a strong deck, but it's not tier 0 or anything like that.
14:31 Uta is the crazy part because if can become a counter with Gordon lol

LOL Belo and 2025 same sentence
shanks, sanji, double attack yamato leader. Lim, ICEBERG
lots of aggro leaders will be mentioned in 2025.
Look at perona all of the searcher
these searchers are so broken... outside of nami :(
Nami should never be buffed
Looking forward to Boa Crocodile And rosinante with these colors
Based on title. I dont think the searchers are broken 😮 1:05
I don't know how to feel about these.

why is it bad if every deck becomes more consistent?

Its a training from digimon
2 color leaders beeing able to use 8 LOL
You that's actually broken didn't think about that there has to be restrictions.
by the time you're done searching, you'll be dead.
Literally, from old age.
in all actuality. if you run 8 of these, aggro/rush decks will punish you.
@@zhurbich Not broken at all. have fun having 8 bricks in your deck along with all the brick top end that you are trying to search for.
Running 8 of these would be terrible
@@zhurbichThe restriction is being stuck with 4 life
I think it’s time for gecko Moria to go. It’s been nothing but a plague
it literally becomes a non factor in 09
@ yeah because teach is there. If they happen to ban teach guess what’s gonna happen the same thing of the format warping around black and gecko
@@GREENWARRI0R You do realize that BY luffy is still a S tier deck in 09 right?
L take
