@32:11 I was trying to say that I think the Doffy player should have swung at life first to try and activate the Event Trigger while the board was still full, which would have caused the Luffy player to replace one of his Characters and then use the Gravity Blade Raging Tiger (not Red Roc lol) to get rid of the new body and the other legal target.

You should try building a yellow deck where almost every single card gives you a life. I did it and won a game with like 10 life. Super fun and totally changes your perspective on yellow.

That vegapunk deck is pretty nasty but I feel the same way with how he was setting his board, it grated at me. He had to be doing it on purpose to distract opponents and get their mind on it.
i just finished building my own vegapunk deck to see how i like it, just started learning about the game about 2 weeks ago and with the cards ive got, ive built one. ill edit this comment later to see how mine compares, and ill also come back a second time once ive played a few times with it to give you my feedback
Hey vv, what would you play as a budget alternative for the Katakuri in the Vegapunk deck? Maybe kind of Enel (OP05-100)? Because in Vegapunk you can controll the life cards and what is going to happen. And with the effect of enel you can manage the trigger.
That's a tough question, unfortunately there is no real replacement for what that card does, but as a placeholder ya I could see the 7c Enel working out for now. Vegapunk can either choose to gain 2 life in 1 turn with that Katakuri or bounce a threat off the board and regain initiative. It's stupid how expensive that card is currently, I hope when PRB-01 comes out it drops big time for the newer players.
@@Vvulfrik Thanks vv for this detailed answer, I appreciate that! Yes, the Katakuri is soooo expensive. It's quiet good, but... Yeah. Maybe I try the Enel. It's much better :D
Might not be OSD my guy, might be a touch of the tisum! I got it and the guy on the right is stressing me out too!! Its cos there are rules “these cards belong here” and he’s not following them
As rob lucci, if you have a kalifa and rob lucci in hand and a brook on board, i think playing the kalifa would be better so you can cycle and ko with brook to ko the reiju
I'm not sure how I feel about vegapunk in OPTCG as a player coming from MTG. This may be an incorrect lens to be looking through, but I see vegapunk as a 0 mana creature that has "Vigilance, pay 1 colorless, tap this creature, put a creature with cmc 3 or less on to the battlefield or gain 5 life" ( 2 don/1 land per turn & 4 life/OPTCG *5 = 20 life MTG). It seems like something that will inevitably be broken as more typal support is printed over time.
I think it was somewhat of a fluke for the deck to have made it as far as it did to be honest. If you watch the next game of Vega vs RP Law... *SPOILER WARNING* RP Law absolutely blows him out. But I agree with what you are saying, Bandai needs to really pay attention to what they print going forward as to not allow a very powerful Leader Effect like this to be broken.
@@Vvulfrik Thanks for the input and reply, I agree with your printing philosophy, but it will be interesting to see what happens after August 12th, especially if there's bannings or restrictions targeted at its worse matchups.
You also have to remember though in your analogy that Vegapunk: can't attack so Vigilance means nothing, it makes you start with 2 Life when most people start with 4-5*, and can ONLY interact with Egghead cards. Obviously some banger cards could come out in the future, but there's only so many characters in the Egghead Arc that would be allied. Unless they reprint existing characters, which would be bizarre, there's currently MAYBE 4 more characters we could get, and a similar handful of Event cards. *The reason I don't think the Life to life conversion works is because regardless of how much the difference in power is, you always deal 1 Life if the hit goes through. So while in MtG if Vegapunk gained 5 life that's usually 2.5 hits from a small creature early game, in One Piece that's a single attack from anything and it's gone.
I mean, Vegapunks effect only works with Egghead cards, and it's the only deck that works around Egghead. So, when they design yellow egghead triggers, obviously this is what they're going to be thinking of. Vegapunk is pretty weak, and even this highlight only makes top 4, compared to like, 10 other decks that consistently get top 3 or top 1. Not being able to attack and having 2 life as mono is already a massive restriction. You'd need multiple absurdly broken yellow egghead cards, and even then they'd probably be stronger in other yellow decks.
