You’re absolutely correct! Naya makes the most sense, especially with his affinity for beasts and animals. The man has been thrown in a jungle twice to train.
Other magic one piece guy here, awesome flavour, these cards are SUPER MEGA BROKEN though. A 3cmc 3/4 haste reach is already way above curve, a 2/2 for 3 with +1/+1 tribal synergy is your base lord too, the front side of luffy is probably already too pushed without the planeswalker backside. The backside giving protection from everything for 5 turns basically wins the game on the spot. Something that's worth thinking about is that you can reflect periods in a character's life in a single card rather than one card for the entire character. Luffy in loguetown could be a 1/2 or something no problem, and tank man could be a 6/7 or something, gives a little more room to breath. Cool idea though keep it up
Honestly the flavor is perfect, the return to hand effect seems more like a blue effect though. I thought of maybe having him shuffle a permanent into a library to show how chaotic he can be in his nika form. But having a repeatable chaos warp on a stick seems busted on a plus effect haha.
Really cool video! For future episodes though, and it's just a little detail, but the order in which mana colors appear in the costs and anywhere else for that matter isn't random. They always follow a specific order in MTG. Luffy for example would be red first, then white. It would make your cards feel just that much more "real". Keep up the good work :)
The -1 ability definetly have to say another target permanent. So it is basicly a 5-turn the one ring ETB and you can also poliferate it so it can even last longer.
I think you need to add green. He grew up around forests, which the dual types are great flavor. Also rhythm of the wilds would be a win. It's not blue, which would break the game, and doesn't really add much except a way to make the scarce number of red pirates beefy. I guess ramp too lol
Thoughts on Straw hat colours: Luffy: R, maybe RG Usopp: U Nami: UB Robin: G?... GB? Franky: UR Sanji: WR Zoro: B Chopper: WG? Jinbe: ... ... WU(R)?? Brook: RB I think luffy cant be very white because white is the colour of Law, (white isnt the good colour and black isnt the bad colour, they just normally end up that way) and luffy spends much of his time beating on marines personally and as a structure. Red is spot on though. Green also has some freedom to it, natural order, and he was kinda raised in the jungle twice, but it's not that clean a fit. RG Gruul being the colour of stompy, fix stuff with violence, smash with face, if in trouble get big, does feel like luffy's main tactic though. Weirdly an endgame luffy might have an argument for a little blue from Haki, just a smidge. Usopp is thoughts and gadgets, easy blue Nami the cat burgular is most UB, she has greed and smarts and looks after herself, the black probably drains off a little later in the show, not sure what'd replace it though. Probably also likes artifacts, pairs nicely with Usopp. Robin is tough. She blooms and is pretty rooted to the ground in her fighting style (G), she's reserved (not R, maybe even U), can be underhanded and has a demon form (B), doesnt care for the law (not W) Franky is mad science and passion, easy UR Sanji is chivilary and looking after the meek (W), but also burning passion (R), great boros fit. Also a better argument for haste than luffy, who often kinda walks up and says hi to his opponents first. Zoro, king of the underworld at the end of the story, killer for bounties at the start, seems black. Chopper, healing is in W and/or G, reindeers would probably be G or W as well. Monster point is like black/green though, brain point gains blue, speed point gains red maybe. Jinbe cares abour honour (W), the sea (U), but i'd also argue he can be a passionate punchy guy, so maybe some R too. WU if sticking to two colours Brook: Undead skeleton, rockstar pervert. RB Actually makes a pretty well rounded squad, could make a set around that for sure.
Lol at White being the "good guys". It's the colour of order. The Boros Legion are the Marines. Other people commented on the power level, so I'll just add Bounce is a Blue ability, so to see it in R/W is a break from the colour pie. My own attempts at a Luffy card stayed within the existing Pirate colours of B/U/R, but I added Food tokens to the mix to fuel his abilities. Thinking about the other Strawhats also kept me in Blue and Black. Black especially, as the colour of Ambition. Blue maybe a stretch for Luffy himself, but Haki feels like a Blue ability.
Ive been making custom One Piece cards myself for a while now. Its nice to see someone else with the same urge xd I got for now a Moria, Enel, Buggy, Basil Hawkins, Big Mom and also some weapons and vehicles. The only one I have a deck made for is Buggy though. He is a UBR Human Pirate that puts outlaws from your hand onto the field when attacking ( then untaps and removes himself from combat) and also gives you the monarch when he enters. I would love to get into a 4 pod with One Piece commanders and cards and reskins xd
I personally would've gone in a Level Up direction for base Luffy, each level for each gear except 5th. I really like the idea of transform mechanics for gear 5 though. I'll be honest that I'm not really feeling a Nika vibe for Gear 5's 2nd n ult skill but that was some good attempt at it. My biggest criticism is on Gear 5's ult: 5 dmg to 5 targets??? it should've been 5 dmg to 6 targets. You've missed the opportunity to incorporate the number 56 there 😁
The ideas of the card are super cool, but the teferis protection for a minus 1 and a removal for plus 2 is very broken i would change the deal five damage with the teferi loyalty cost because this in comander is nuts, cool video i hope that this collab becames a real thing
I think you did great! As an MtG player who’s been out of the loop for a few years, this looks just fine flavor and power wise compared to other commanders and cards this might play with. Only thing I find interesting is that I always thought of Luffy as Nya colors not just Boros because he directly values being strong for the sake of his crew and others he cares for while also having a connection with all things natural in the world (voice of all things)
Really cool cards! It's super cool seeing such an amazing creator break into the MTG space! 🎉 I made a bunch of one piece proxies for existing magic cards a bit ago, never really finished that project. I'd have to pick a new Nami card since i used Dockside Extortionist... If u ever want to collaborate on anything let me know!
I personally believe that Luffy should be Mardu, since stuff like uninhibitedness and self-interest are things we often see in him and make up a big part of his character. Especially with the contrast to his selflessness he can show to others
Would be really sick to see a three man commander luffy as white and red, zoro as green and black, sanji as blue and just and have every crew member in the deck! That would be nuts but that would never happen. I Only can dream about it.
The flavor here is awesome. I think the straw hat and the front of luffy are great but the planeswalker is probably too good. Anything that gives him more loyalty like proliferate or let’s you activate him more than once like Oath of Teferi lets you make yourself and him both unkillable forever. There is some counter play but it feels too niche. Bouncing lands is also probably too good but he is really hard to flip so idk. That -7 actually seems underwhelming with how good the other two abilities are so it probably wouldn’t get used outside of niche situations. It’s a great start though and I really want to see the other cards you’ve come up with.
I've been following you for years, love your content, and I also play MTG, this took me my surprise hahaha Nice work, as you say it's really powerful but the flavor is worth it 😁 Wish we could have a OP universes beyond but doesn't seem very likely since they have their own card game already ☹️
Overall, I like Luffy. I would probably make the white pip into hybrid black/white as Luffy is a very ambitious person. The +2 is also not RW, but I get the flavor. Maybe exile the card and have them pay extra to recast? Even then it's strong. Also, don't let people bounce lands repeatedly. Capsize is not fun to play against for that reason
I think the straw hat should be r equip to legendary pirate (gets better in theme and also justifies the uncommmon) Also, Nika´s protection is too cheap, please a -2 or more
The only big problem i have with this is that luffy has white in color luffy is the whole thing is brakeing the law and being the most free person in the world i see luffy as Jund type of person but like i said outside of that everything great
Love the idea but i think base luffy is way overtuned, 3 mana 3/4 with Haste that is a 5/5 if You one pirate on board, is great on his own, let alone the gear Sistem, on the other the plainswalker seems great, just tune the numbers and the straw hay is great
I think you should do a bit more research into colours in MTG. Red is about freedom. White isn't necessarily about goodness, but more like law and order. I still think Luffy can be boros because of his abundance of allies and tendency to bring peace, but the hat should be red in my opinion.
3:11 I could see arguments for him to be naya just because of the idea of his crazy strength and insane growth
You’re absolutely correct! Naya makes the most sense, especially with his affinity for beasts and animals. The man has been thrown in a jungle twice to train.
very true! i think there are obviuosly arguments for a variety of colors with luffy
Other magic one piece guy here, awesome flavour, these cards are SUPER MEGA BROKEN though. A 3cmc 3/4 haste reach is already way above curve, a 2/2 for 3 with +1/+1 tribal synergy is your base lord too, the front side of luffy is probably already too pushed without the planeswalker backside.

Wait this guys setup and editing is insane for ~140 subs?? Praise the algorithm for handing me this GEM

Play one piece TCG with us nakama! One of us! One of us!
my wallet cant handle 2 TCGs
The -1 ability definetly have to say another target permanent. So it is basicly a 5-turn the one ring ETB and you can also poliferate it so it can even last longer.

I think you went at it ok. Im not sure how id build it. But that aside, you gotta do ninja, samurai, and merfolk decks. Id play those.
I’d make a Luffy deck so fast! Cool design and powers for the cards I think you nailed it!
I personally believe that Luffy should be Mardu, since stuff like uninhibitedness and self-interest are things we often see in him and make up a big part of his character. Especially with the contrast to his selflessness he can show to others

Lol protection from everything wont help against questing beast.
BTW, so happy you made this new channel.

This is the tax exemption video. lol
Always fun to find someone you're already subbed to into other hobbies you play :P
I've been following you for years, love your content, and I also play MTG, this took me my surprise hahaha Nice work, as you say it's really powerful but the flavor is worth it 😁 Wish we could have a OP universes beyond but doesn't seem very likely since they have their own card game already ☹️
10/10 I did not understand. But I love watching you talk about things you're passionate about.
haha thanks dream!!
Dope idea also. Love the crossover and hope it was as fun to make as it is to watch
It was!
Okay have you heard of storm light archives/the cosmere? Those would make such good cards
omg you also play magic!! I love this. Did you go to MagicCon last year?
making Luffy a card with secret reach is very diabolical to his character
Overall, I like Luffy. I would probably make the white pip into hybrid black/white as Luffy is a very ambitious person. The +2 is also not RW, but I get the flavor. Maybe exile the card and have them pay extra to recast? Even then it's strong. Also, don't let people bounce lands repeatedly. Capsize is not fun to play against for that reason
I need way more of this
I’d like to play those cards but am more interested in the other ideas I’ve wanted this type of deck (anime)since 2016
I’m gonna remember being in the first 100 subs on this new channel 💙🙏😬
Yeah me too
Love youre vids and thank you that you explain me one piece so i can Talk with my sister
I would love to play ur cards
I love One Piece as well
I think the straw hat should be r equip to legendary pirate (gets better in theme and also justifies the uncommmon)
Also, Nika´s protection is too cheap, please a -2 or more
Wait, youve only been involved with magic for 2 years??? Insane
just started watching, please sanji dont be simic
I would love to make a Law commander deck 😮
The only big problem i have with this is that luffy has white in color luffy is the whole thing is brakeing the law and being the most free person in the world i see luffy as Jund type of person but like i said outside of that everything great
Love the idea but i think base luffy is way overtuned, 3 mana 3/4 with Haste that is a 5/5 if You one pirate on board, is great on his own, let alone the gear Sistem, on the other the plainswalker seems great, just tune the numbers and the straw hay is great

Uhhhh... One Piece Card Game exists...
Luffy would never be boros, he ain't no cop. Mono red or gruul.
Dope project
Hey, aren't you that Ohara guy?
There is literally a one piece tcg. You don't need to play a bad game like mtg
cool. but id rather stick to one piece card game when i want to play one piece on cardboard. magic is for magic lore.
ohara also playing mtg is news to me
