GCG Link Station EP 19 - Three Matches with Kengo Kawanishi Using [GD02] Part 3

 

There's a part 3 for this GCG video, but this post will be short as there's really nothing to talk about aside from watching the game, good for people who wants to understand the game more. There is an Event for Global, but if you've been on a notice with social media, then, you would know what kind of Events it is.

[One Piece Card Information Bureau] OP14 - The Azure Sea's Seven SR Reveals

 

It seems we've got 2 more Leaders revealed in this set which make sense since this set focused on 7 Warlords, unless I missed a previous video showing the 2 Leaders, or it's been recently revealed from the social media. We've got the AA Leaders revealed as well as the SR cards for those Leaders. No secret rare revealed yet, but I think it's too early as this set is still a long way to go to see all the cards.

PRB02 Black (Moria) Deck Profile

Only a small update for Moria, I guess I'm waiting for the new Perona from EB03 to update this deck again. The new card is a weaker version of the banned Moria, but it make sense, since OPCG don't want to repeat the mistake of making a broken card again that can combo with other cards. I don't think this deck would be different from the previous build I've posted as we need the main TB cards.

OP12 Yellow (Katakuri) Deck Profile

I don't think Premium booster will have the updates for Katakuri, so I'm just going to keep the set to OP12 version. Although, compare to Enel who gain access to the constant Life gain cards, this build will gain access to BM Pirates cards. Katakuri's effect being able to constantly check the top card of your Life area is very useful, especially when we want to hit trigger effects.

PRB02 Red (Shanks) Deck Profile

PRB02 support for Shanks, and the new cards will help a bit for this build, although the room for the build is really tight, unless we get a new completely busted card for this build. I wouldn't say the build will be a major change compare to my last build as I've kept most of the RH Pirates cards in the build. It will only be about changing the numbers around so I can fit new cards to the deck.

ONE PIECE Card Game Championship 25-26 Season 2 Tournament in Fukuoka w/ OP14 Cards Revealed

 

I've been focusing on GCG World Championship for JP that I forgotten that OPCG also have card reveals in their videos. Although, most of the cards have been revealed already. Unlike GCG, we don't get to see people decks and only the top 16 results. Don't forget that JP also have OP13 and EB03 released, but I don't think people already have the cards for EB03 for this World Championship, so we should focus on OP13 more.

GCG Link Station Ep 18 - Three Matches with Kengo Kawanishi Using [GD02] PartⅡ

 

I have no idea if I want to post this video as there are not many new information we can get out of this. Nothing new in this video aside from the decks from GD02, so this post will be very short than usual. Most of the Events have already been revealed from previous videos, as well as we've got access to social media for global Events.

PRB02 Purple/Yellow (Robin) Deck Profile

Not much of an upgrade for Robin build, since we are only running 1 card from PRB02. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to cramp more for this build. The Banish keyword definitely puts pressure against your opponents since the Life cards will go to the trash instead of into their hand, and we can use our Characters to attack rested Characters, and letting Robin to attack your opponent's Leader.

PRB02 Green/Yellow (Yamato) Deck Profile

There's one more card you can run in OP13 set and that card is also Wano type, so it will be easier to search that card out. At the moment, this would be my temporary build since running that OP13 card will change this build again. I have made some obvious changes using OP12 set too and not just PRB02 set, and I don't think that 1 card from PRB02 would make a huge difference. 

GCG WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 25-26 Japan Regionals, Osaka Venue

 

I know this might not be as interesting since they are focusing on JP Regionals, and GD02 is releasing next week, so no need cards revealed. But I will post this anyway, since it tell us the meta. I know JP and EN meta can be different, a meta in JP format doesn't always means it will be meta in EN format as some decks have been proven.

PRB02 Blue (Hancock) Deck Profile

More supports will be coming for this build unless OP14 Hancock supports focused on the yellow side. The 1 card from PRB02 does help this build a little, but since this deck is not a full 7 Warlord build, the effect can hit and miss. You better focus on Doffy build instead if you want to make use of that 1 card.

GCG Link Station EP 17 - Three Matches with Kengo Kawanishi Using [GD02] Part I

 

As you know GD02 will be releasing next week, but we do have pre release this week for the set. So there's nothing really to discuss in this video aside from watching the GD02 deck fights. The reveals are GD02 AAs, so nothing new, and the AAs have already been spoil for EN.

[One Piece Card Information Bureau] EB03 ONE PIECE Heroines Edition Unboxing

 

As you know, EB03 set is released next week for the JP format whilst the EN format will be playing catchup. Well, if you've been keeping up with the latest reveals, most of these cards will have already been leaked or revealed in the JP social media, so nothing would be too new that we haven't seen before.

PRB02 Black (Teach) Deck Profile

The 1 new card from PRB02 might help BB deck, but then again, we will mainly focused on the old supports for BB. Most of the old cards are pretty good for this deck, there was no reason to take them out. The only exception is to reduce the number of cards so we could cramp everything into the build. Of course, we won't be relying heavily on Events this time as we've got more Characters for the build.

OP12 Yellow (Kid) Deck Profile

Unfortunately, none of the new cards from PRB02 cards would work with Kid, so I decided to keep it as OP12 build instead. Not a huge change from the previous build, but some new cards would definitely make Kid better instead of using vanillas to replace the empty spot. Although, the next set OP13 do have some new SN cards we could try for this deck.

Vote Global Gundam Poll

 

I know this is a bit too late, but we have a Gundam vote going on right now. The poll closes on December 25 JST which is all the way to Christmas.

It is all the Gundam suits that are available from the series (not including manga version), however, if you are a fan of other mobile suits like Zaku or GMs, unfortunately, this poll will be useless for you. But if you have like a backup for favourite Gundam, then, you could still vote even if your mobile suits is not there.

PRB02 Red/Green (Smoker) Deck Profile

I do like the new supports from PRB02 set, and combined with OP12 set, we have a decent Smoker build to use. Although, the build is not a huge change compare to OP11 build, as we need to keep the core Punk Hazard cards as well as Mole Gun, so the build will be pretty similar to OP11 build. What I did was only take out the non Punk Hazard cards to fit the new cards in the build.

GCG Link Station EP 16 - ST06 Unboxing with GD02 reveals

 

I can assure you, there's not a lot of card reveals even though this video is 50 mins long. It is not like the One Piece channel where we focused on card reveals. In this video, we got a ST06 unboxing as well as using the deck to play against ST01 deck. This is why the video is long, because of the game they had with the starter decks, and I guess at this stage ST01 deck can still put up a fight, but it doesn't seems to me like GCG is changing too quickly.

PRB02 Purple (Katakuri) Deck Profile

Compare to our G/P Luffy build, Katakuri only got 1 new card from PRB02 set, and I've changed the build a little so we can make use of that 1 new card. If you ask me, I do think we need another set of support to suit Katakuri build as currently, most of the BM supports suit toward more for Pudding build rather than Katakuri. But this is just my personal opinion especially when yellow Katakuri is going out of rotation very soon.

PRB02 Green/Purple (Luffy) Deck Profile

PRB02 is a set where EB02 Luffy could gain the most benefit from the green and purple SH supports. Personally, SH builds are getting way too many support, but I shouldn't be surprised, since it is the same for DCG where certain decks get a lot of supports and some decks don't get support until like 10-12 sets later. Plus SH are the main protagonist for this series, so obviously, they would get the prefer treatment over other Characters.

PRB02 Blue (Buggy) Deck Profile

To be honest, the 1 card from PRB02 set is optional, but would provide extra defences thanks to being a Blocker, and Buggy is a build where we need at least 5 DONs to pop off, so having early Blockers on the field will be helpful. Of course, without that 1 card from PRB02, the cards from OP12 set will be enough for this build. I have slightly changed the build from the previous build, so it won't be pretty straightforward.

GCG Link Station Ep 15 - Entering Store Tournament + GD02 Reveals

 

There's always one difference between an official channel and a store tournament, and that is the competitiveness in store tournaments are a lot higher than showing the deck in the channel. Of course, there's always 1 or 2 people in those store tournament who comes up with really creative decks, plus there are also beginners who are entering, but you would mainly expect facing a lot of meta decks since people want to win.

[One Piece Card Information Bureau] EB03 ONE PIECE Heroines Edition AA Reveals

 

Well, it's not just AA reveals in this video as we also got some SP rares as well. There's also a promo video at the beginning for EB03 set, although what I am only interested is the cards. In those AA reveals, we also see 2 of the secret rare cards from EB03 set. There is 1 card I'm surprised about which we will see when I post about that card. Although if they made that card, I'm surprised Ivankov is not in this set then.

OP12 Yellow (Kalgara) Deck Profile

Kalgara got some decent support from OP12 set, and it is not only OP12 Kuma who will be added to this build as we got new Shandian supports. Personally, we are still missing quite a few cards. Most of the new SW cards from OP12 set I've added are just vanillas, and you can only get very far with vanillas compare to an effect. The only exception is if the deck is designed to make use of vanilla cards compare to effect which Kalgara doesn't have.
