Its that time again where the release date is close for OP12 set. Honestly, I wish we can catch up to JP as soon as possible, so we can get the official translation and I can just comment on the new cards. Anyway, I won't be going through every cards they have pulled in this set, otherwise, it will take a long time. I do like OP12 as they have supports for old Leaders until the rotation kicks in, so I can play with those Leaders a bit longer.
Some cards in this video will have already been revealed during JP Twitter reveal, plus we also had leaks, so some of these cards I'll be posting will be nothing new. I'll be ignoring Vanillas, because you know, they are vanillas, and those one are harder to talk about than 1 line of effect.
Cards
Jinbe
Red Character (OP12-009)
3 Cost / 4000 Power (Strike)
Fish-Man / Sun Pirates
[Counter +1000]
[On Play] You may reveal 2 Events from your hand: this Character gains Rush during this turn. Then, this Character gains +1000 power until the end of your opponent’s next turn.
| Looks like we got the Sun Pirates Jinbe in this set and not the Straw Hats. The effect is not bad, since this is just a 3 drop Rush, but we need to reveal at least 2 Events. Unfortunately won't be suitable for decks with low Events. I am assuming that 8 Events should be enough to at least trigger this card's effect. |
|---|
Demonic Aura Nine-Sword Style Asura Dead Man’s Game
1 Cost Green Event (OP12-037)Straw Hat Crew
[Main] You may rest 3 of your DON!! cards: Rest up to a total of 2 of your opponent’s Characters or DON!! cards.
[Counter] Up to 1 of your Leader gains +3000 power during this battle.
| Dead Man's Game, another long Event name even if we get this translated to English. Anyway, if you noticed the main effect is exactly the same as Hody's effect, but instead of paying 7, we will need to pay 4 instead, still a lot but at least we won't need to wait too long to start resting your opponent's cards. Not only that, you can also use this as a counter card, but this only powers up the Leader. I will still take it if the deck benefits from resting to trigger other effects. |
|---|
…I will make Whitebeard the King
9 Cost Blue Event (OP10-058)Whitebeard Pirates
[Main] If your Leader's type includes "Whitebeard Pirates", reveal the top card of your deck. If the Character's type includes "Whitebeard Pirates" with a cost of 9 or less, you may play it. Then, that Character gains <Rush> during this turn.
<Trigger> Draw 1 card
| All I can think of is using Marco's effect to put WB Pirates cards on top of your deck, then use this effect to play that Character and gains Rush. Not to mention, you can play 9 drop or less WB Pirates for 9. I think 1 or 2 could work as a gimmick, but in reality, 9 DONs could be a lot especially if you need board presence, and seeing this won't really help. |
|---|
Shakuyaku
Red Character (OP12-006)
1 Cost / 2000 Power
[Counter +1000]
Amazon Lily
[On Play] Look at 5 cards from the top of your deck, reveal up to 1 [Monkey.D.Luffy] or red Event, and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order.
| Something that is always new to me are the official names for these Characters. I literally didn't know she's called Shakuyuka, I thought it was Shakky. Anyway, she is a standard searcher who can search out Luffy or Events which might be useful considering there are some key Luffy in red we want to search out. |
|---|
Gyukimaru
Green Character (OP12-024)4 Cost/ 5000 Power (Slash)
Animal / Land of Wano
If this Character is active, it cannot be KO’d by your opponent’s effects.
[When Attacking] If the total number of DON!! cards attached on this Character is 3 or more, rest up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters with base cost of 6 or less.
| I don't think is too bad, but needing 3 DONs just to rest a base cost of 6 or less Character is just not really worth it. Then again, if you can untap DONs and attached to this card, then that is a different story. Although, since this is also a Wano card, I am tempted to try this out in Yamato who can give 2 attach DONs to your Characters. |
|---|
Borsalino
Blue Character (OP12-053)
4 Cost / 5000 Power (Special)
[Counter +1000]
Navy
[Once Per Turn] If this Character were to be removed by your opponent's effects, you may trash 1 card from your hand instead.
[Opponent's Turn] If your Leader has the {Navy} type, this Character gains [Blocker] and +1000 power.
| This is just a rebooted version of OP02 Kizaru, but only restricted to Navy builds for the full effect instead of being playable in other decks. I guess I'll take it since this card is better than OP02 version. We do discard a card, but at least we can get around returning and trash effects instead of KO only. Not to mention that this works during any turns rather than being on your opponent's turn, only the Blocker and power ability is on your opponent's turn. |
|---|
Slam Gibson
1 Cost Yellow Event (OP12-117)
Kid Pirates / Supernovas
[Main] You may rest 5 DON!!: If your Leader has the {Supernova} type, place up to 1 Character with a cost of 9 or less on to the top or bottom of owner's Life cards face down.
[Counter] Up to 1 of your Leader gains +3000 power during this battle.
| More Kid Support for yellow, but also works in G/Y Law build, but I am not too sure about the main effect, because you will be paying 6 DONs altogether just to gain a Life, or remove your opponent's cards. Then again, it is a 9 cost Character, and that is pretty high for 6 whereas Katakuri only chooses 8 cost or less for 8 DONs. The counter effect is the same as Dead Man's Game, looks like these will be the standard in this set. |
|---|
Hack
Black Character (OP12-089)4 Cost / 5000 Power
[Counter +1000]
Fish-Man/Dressrosa/Revolutionary Army
If your Leader has the {Revolutionary Army} type, this Character gains Blocker and +4 cost
[On KO] If your Leader has the {Revolutionary Army} type, KO up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a base cost of 4 or less.
| Another card that only target base cost. Although, this card is like Roux where we can KO a Character once we used the Blocker ability. But as you can see, Hack only works in RA builds and doesn't work in Dressrosa, even though he has the Dressrosa trait. |
|---|
Shanks
Red Character (OP12-007)2 Cost / 2000 Power (Slash)
[Counter +1000]
Roger Pirates
[On Play] Up to 1 of your Characters with type including [Roger Pirates] other than [Shanks] gains <Rush> during this turn.
| Roger Pirates is definitely the ones I am looking forward the most, considering they started the Great Pirates Era, so I am surprised, it took very long to turn into cards. Not to mention, this card actually works with Former Roger Pirates and not just Roger Pirates only, so you can use this card with Rayleigh, seeing how this is the only former Roger Pirates released so far. |
|---|
Sakazuki
Blue Character (OP12-044)7 Cost / 8000 Power
Navy
[On Play] If your Leader has the {Navy} type, draw 2 cards
[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] You may trash 1 card from your hand; give up to 1 rested DON!!! card your Leader or 1 of your Characters.
| Personally, it's not bad, not only we get the draw power, but we can also attached rested DONs to our Leader or Characters. Of course, we lose a card in hand, but Blue have some decent draw power cards to easily recover from the lost. Well, even if this is not used in main deck, we can always consider this in a budget build. |
|---|
Kalgara
Yellow Character (OP12-099)
5 Cost 6000 Power (Slash)
Jaya / Sky Island / Shandian Warrior
[Counter +1000]
[Your Turn]: When a Life card is removed, draw 1 card. Then, you cannot draw cards by your own effects during this turn.
| More Shandian support. For me 1 set of Shandian stuff wasn't enough, but when you make a few more cards, then the deck could work. I do like this, we can draw once per turn since Shandian reduces our Life area, so we need all the counters we can get into our hand. |
|---|
Monkey.D.Dragon
8 Cost / 8000 Power (Special)
Revolutionary Army
[On play] You may return 3 cards with the {Revolutionary Army} type from your trash to the bottom of your deck in any order: If your Leader has the {Revolutionary Army} type, play up to 1 Character with a cost of 6 or less from your trash.
| I wish Red or Yellow would have this kind of effect, but then again that wouldn't make sense since this is kind of a Black ability type of card. I think you could bring back OP05 Rebecca, then use OP05 Rebecca to play another Character from your hand, so in one turn we could get 3 Characters in one turn just like Moria before getting banned. Of course, we will need to run more RA cards just to trigger Dragon's effect. |
|---|
Baratie
East Blue
[Activate: Main] You may place this Stage at the bottom of the owner's deck: If your Leader is [Sanji], look at 3 cards from the top of your deck, reveal up to 1 Event and add it to your hand, Then, place the remaining at the bottom of your deck in any order.
[Trigger] Play this card.
| I don't mind this Stage, only suited with the new Sanji Leader, but I've already forgotten what he do. But having an Event searcher makes me think Sanji is more Events related, but I could be wrong. Not only that, we also have a Trigger effect, so we could easily play this for 1, use the effect and recycle the Stage card. |
|---|
Kouzuki Hiyori
Green Character (OP12- 028)
1 Cost / 0 Power
[Counter +1000]
Land of Wano / Kouzuki Family
[Activate: Main] You may rest 1 of your DON!! cards and this Character: If your Leader is [Roronoa Zoro], look at the top 5 cards of your deck, reveal up to 1 card with the <Slash> Attribute or a green Event, and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest on the bottom of your deck in any order.
| Looks like we've got Hiyori who only works is we have a Zoro Leader. It sounds like even the card game wants us to ship these 2 together even though One Piece shouldn't have romance between the MCs. Anyway, this is not bad at all, we can look for Slash cards, or Events as long as they are green. I'll take it for Zoro build, but I'm not sure if the deck need to run a lot of Slash Characters for this card. I know Wano is mainly mostly Slash Attribute, so the chances are really high. |
|---|
Vinsmoke Sora
1 Cost / 0 Power (Wisdom)
[Counter +2000]
Kingdom of GERMA / The Vinsmoke Family
[On Play] If your Leader is [Sanji] and the number of DON!! cards on your field is equal to or less than the number on your opponent's field, add up to 1 DON!! card from your DON!! deck and rest it. Then, draw one card.
| This is very strong, but it is a shame, Sora only works with Sanji and not with Reiju too, both decks could really benefit this card. The fact is, if they make new Sanji Leader that is purple, this card could go into that build as well. I definitely take it, since it's just like Gina, but with a draw power. |
|---|
Ms.All Sunday
Purple Character (OP12-075)
4 Cost / 5000 Power (Wisdom)
[Counter +1000]
Baroque Works
[On Play] K.O. up to 1 of your opponent's Character with a cost of 3 or less. Then, your opponent may choose to add 1 DON!! card from their DON!! deck and set it as active.
[Trigger] DON!!-1: Play this card.
| I must be missing something, yes it's a new BW card, however giving ramp to your opponents? who want to do that? Unless I missed the new Leader that could do something from ramping. This card would be used in P/Y Crocodile more because of the trigger effect who could literally play her for free. |
|---|
Conqueror’s Haki
0 Cost Red Event
Former Roger Pirates
[Counter] Up to 1 of your Character cards or [Silvers Rayleigh] gains +2000 power during this battle. Then, you may rest 1 of your DON!! cards. If you did, give all of your opponent’s Leader and Characters -1000 power during this turn.
| It's also about time we saw something like Haki in this game, considering One Piece does resolve around Haki being used. I'm surprised Sky Island hasn't got an Event that says Mantra. The effect is not bad too, if we combined with OP09, we can reduced your opponent's field by 2k for the turn, except the Leader gets -1k power. If the translation is accurate, we can use this in any red builds. |
|---|
Shirahoshi
2 Cost / 0 Power (Wisdom)
Merfolk / Fish-Man Island
[Counter +1000]
If 1 of your Characters with a base cost of 6 or less would leave the field by an opponent’s effect, you can turn 1 card from the top of your Life cards face-up instead.
[Opponent’s Turn]: If you do not have any other [Shirahoshi] Character with a base cost of 2, your Characters with {Sea King} type gains +2000 power
| More for Shirahoshi build, now I can't wait to update the Sea King build, but I know there's a big time gap between OP sets compare to EB sets, so I could post the OP11 now, then OP12 later. It is not a bad effect considering the first effect is not once per turn, so as long as we can turn our Life cards, we can trigger the protection effects. The second effect is also very strong with Sea King that has Blockers, making those Characters being able to withstand your opponent's attacks. |
|---|
Donquixote Doflamingo
Yellow Character (OP12-107)
8 Cost / 8000 Power (Special)
The Seven Warlords of the Sea / Donquixote Pirates
If you have 2 or less Life cards, this Character gains <Rush>
[Opponent's Turn] [On KO’d] Add up to 1 card from the top of your deck to the top of your Life cards.
| I could use this in P/Y Crocs deck since we've got Okama Way to redirect the attacks to KO Doffy to gain a Life card. Not to mention, we've also got Rush if we got low health. Your opponents would want to take this out sooner or later, because he is an 8k beat stick, and that would means they will need some counters to stop the attack or take the damage. Unless, they can get away with not KOing Doffy and win the game. |
|---|
Sabo
Yellow Character (OP12-100)
5 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)
Revolutionary Army / Dressrosa
[Counter +1000]
If you have 3 or less Life cards, this Character gains <Blocker> and +3 cost.
[On Play] You may add 1 card from the top of your Life cards to your hand: Draw 2 cards and trash 1 from your hand.
| This is more of Koala build than Betty build. But I did notice we could run this in B/Y Luffy build since we've got Kid Sabo who can play this 5 drop for free, not to mention getting 3 or less is very easy, and on top of that, we've got the on play effect that could increase your hand size more. There's also R/Y Sabo too, so making a 5 drop Sabo does make this a lot more interesting we can focus. |
|---|
Luffy Is The One Who Will Become The Pirate King!
3 Cost / Green Event (OP12-039)
Straw Hat Crew
[Main] Set up to 1 of your [Roronoa Zoro] Leader as active.
[Trigger] Up to 1 of your Leader or Character cards gains +1000 power during this turn.
| Interesting Event as this card could make the new Zoro Leader attack 3 times in one turn, but a lot of DONs would be spent. The trigger effect is just like Radical Beam or Guard Point, giving you the power for a turn. Nothing else I can talk about with simple effect like this. |
|---|
Karasu
Black Character (OP12-085)
5 Cost / 6000 Power
[Counter +1000]
If your Leader has the {Revolutionary Army} type, this Character gains +3 Cost.
[When Attacking] If your Leader has the {Revolutionary Army} type and your opponent has 5 or more cards in their hand, your opponent trash 1 card from their hand.
| Not bad effect, since we can make your opponent discard once per turn, since this effect works when attacking. I am actually surprised since hand destructions effects works once per card only, but this works when attacking, so we can constantly make your opponents discard, so they can't keep their hand. The best part is that we can trigger this effect before they play Counter cards to avoid the discard. |
|---|
Sanji
Purple Character (OP12-070)
3 Cost / 5000 Power (Strike)
Alabasta / Straw Hat Crew
This Character gains +1000 power for every 5 Events in your trash.
When this Character would be removed from the field by your opponent’s effects, you may return 1 DON!! card to your DON!! deck instead.
| Both very strong effects, well only 1 of them because 5 Events is a lot. Mr 1 is only 2 for power up and it is still difficult to fit a lot of Events in one build. Maybe if we can focus on 25 Events then it is possible to make this Sanji very deadly as a beat stick, otherwise, I kind see it difficult getting the power bonus effect. |
|---|
Sengoku
Blue Character (OP12-047)
3 Cost / 3000 Power (Wisdom)
[Counter +1000]
Navy
[On Play] You may trash 1 card from your hand: Look at the top 5 cards of your deck, reveal up to 2 {Navy} type cards other than [Sengoku] and add them to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order.
| Who would have thought we've got more Navy searcher for blue Navy build. Although he does cost 3 to play, but I will still take it since you are looking for 2 Navy cards instead of 1 which makes a big difference if you liked the search. |
|---|
Looks like 1 box we've got 1 DON, 3 SRs and 1 AA. Although I don't think this is a lot, I think they might have downgrade from 4 SRs and 1 AA, but hopefully this applies to EN boxes as well, and not decide to screw the rarity over.
