This was a blast to be a part of and I'm really grateful for the opportunity to participate (though I still have nightmares about 9 drop Zoro). I know a lot of work went into making this so I'm really happy to see the final results! Looking forward to what you guys come up with next!
This is incredibly fun to watch. The intercut commentary and cuts to the peanut gallery takes it to a whole new level of presentation. Top notch stuff keep it up

The Iceburg game was a perfect example of how horrible having a leader that can't attack is. They were ahead the whole game putting them to no life until the board was cleared and there was no way to finish the game without a rush character like Kaido.
pls do more of these, videos like this one are the reason I got into magic back in the day with the command zone channel and it help out a lot to bring new people into magic and to understand how the game works so Im 100% sure it will do wonders for One Piece as well
Definitely working on more! Last one we tried had some planning issues we're hoping to have another one up in November though. Just a LOT of production with these
I just finished the video. It was fun. Once I saw that Sakazuki was in the tournament, I already knew he would win. While he likely got voted because he is the worst black leader, the generic black cards are just too good that they override his ability. We had a local tournament last year that had a similar concept, all Meta decks were banned. Sakazuki just dominated it so they decided to switch it up and ban black as well from the non-Meta tournaments.
yeah 100% knew it was almost a lock for it the second the results came in, but knowing we wanted to publish the data i couldnt do anything about it. that's why we revealed it last in quarter finals xD
I think doing this again but without meta staples would be a super fun idea. But keeping it competitive also made the video nice. Shows how woke cards can warp things despite the Leader being bonkers. Could also do a trash leader round 2 with ones that weren't selected for this video.
Thanks for the great content! So fun to watch these games and everyone was so nice playing it. That showed also how black cards are overwhelming... But Alex deserved the crown!
@@JoyBoysTCG Hahaha I can understand, if you just look at him effect, it sounds really bad, but the black package is too powerful, don't need to rely on leader effects...
My local does this sort of thing every now and then to mix it up. They do a 'quiz' night, were in-between rounds you get 2 questions. if you get to answer right you get a positive (start with and extra don) or a negative (you have to flip to use you leader ability). It was a strange but fun night
Haha if you check our poll results in the description he was ranked #10 worst (and honestly given iceberg and Saka SOMEHOW made it in, should've been played imo 🤣)
Im trying to run these off-meta leaders, just for fun and i feel like they can see some play, but you have to master them out to be good :p pls do another video liek that, it was so much fun watching it lol
For the Oden list, I can think of a couple of excellent combos that could have been done with it. Okiku swinging 4 times at 9K is 👌👌👌 But this is a great watch, definitely want to do stuff like this locally as well
Oh hey, question! I may have missed it in the video. In game 4, the Black Sakazuki player uses Great Eruption, but that card is currently banned at the time of video upload. Were you playing with no bans and I just missed that? (I've been watching here and there over a few days.) This is such a fun idea though and the editing with the B-roll makes it super entertaining. Maybe some captions next time for people in the 'green room'? A lot of fast talkers (or PIZZA EATIN') and sometimes it's hard to discern what's being said.
@@whatsunkthetitanic would you believe a reddit comment on our survey post there had the most votes saying "I don't think any leader could be worse than black sakazuki. Effect is too expensive to do anything" as if it doesn't have one of the best card pools in the game 💀
i would check the optcg reddit to get access to the simulator and play there a bit! once you get a feel for what deck you want to play, use the website tcgplayer to purchase the cards you need. if you need help learning how some leaders work, we have leader guides from leaders from OP06, EB01 and rolling out OP07 leaders right now which may help
@@JoyBoysTCG there have been times on desktop when I watch the next vid the comments from the last vid I watched were there I guess that happened sorry. I watched this vid to learn more about the op game lol
Enjoyed the video but if you really wanted to do the worst leader video you should have had all the leaders who lost move on in the tourney and the champ would have been the deck with no wins.
That's because it's not a worst leaders tournament, it's literally framed as being the best of the worst. It's a "cursed" tournament where we're subjecting players to playing bad leaders
because the Issho leader had a don on it reducing the cost of franky (and all characters his opp controlled) by 1. meaning franky was a legal 4 cost target
@@JoyBoysTCG yeah you right I'm so used to ppl playing blockers after swings that I misremembered hence my initial comment. But then after it I thought "no way no one caught that with 6 ppl on the couch including a judge" and so I saw the sabo on the rewatch
Hi I'm the Oden player, if you are talking about the final round you are probably right. I probably should have ko'd the brook with ryuma, rest the lucci and attack into it with lead. But if he countered out of the brook swing he probably would have countered that too. Then Sabo next turn denied KO.. 🤦♂️
@@live_light Yes that is what i meant It might have not mattered but it might have. I also play oden as a pure wano deck at locals and dont think hes bad lol . I liked your idea tho
