[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.

Cards

Lim

Purple Character (EB03-037)

4 Cost / 5000 Power (Wisdom)

ODYSSEY

[Counter +2000]

[On Play] If you have 7 or more DON!! cards on your field, your Leader and all of your Characters with the {ODYSSEY} type gains +1000 power until the end of your opponent’s next turn.

We've got more Odyssey supports, and very strong, but we do need to wait until we can get 7 or more DONs on the field to work. Although, this shouldn't be hard to do, what's difficult is definitely getting the right number of Characters on the field before we can play Lim, so we could maximise the attack as well as defence power.

Miss Doublefinger (Zala)

Black Character (EB03-046)

4 Cost / 5000 Power (Slash)

Baroque Works

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] If there is a Character with a cost of 0 or 8 or more on the field, draw 1 card. 
[On K.O.] Trash 2 cards from the top of your deck.

No idea about this card, but I guess it's a nice draw power with the ability to mill. For mill decks, this could be beneficial for the deck, but I don't really see much use outside of mill decks where we can benefit from the trash. Maybe it is just me, considering the requirement to draw a card isn't that good unless we use increase costs to 8 drop rather than focusing on cost reducers.

Conis

Yellow Character (EB03-050)

2 Cost / 0 Power (Wisdom)

Sky Island

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] Up to 1 of your Characters with the {Sky Island} type gains <Double Attack> this turn.

Conis could be really good in Kalgara build where we spam Characters, and since we would be reducing our Life cards, we want to be as aggressive as possible. No idea if I could fit Conis in Kalgara, but I would try, so we could deal some serious damage with that Double Attack.

S-Snake

Yellow Character (EB03-059)

6 Cost / 7000 Power (Special)

Seraphim / Egghead

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] If your Leader has the {Egghead} type and you have 2 or more Life cards, you may add up to 1 Character with [Trigger] to the top of your Life cards from your hand face up.

[Trigger] Up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 6 or less other than [Monkey.D.Luffy] cannot attack during this turn. 

I kind of want to use Snake in Vegapunk build, but considering you need to have 2 or more Life cards, this might be difficult to do, and we should use this with OP13 Bonney instead. We can also trigger any trigger Characters we want with Snake's effect, but I don't know about the trigger effect. If you are playing against Luffy, this effect would be useless and we would need to focus on the on play effect, otherwise, the effect would be nice to have to stop your opponent's attacks.

Insolent Fool!! Stand Down!!

Blue Event (EB03-029)

1 Cost

The Seven Warlords of the Sea / Kuja Pirates

[Main] You may rest 4 of your DON!! cards: If your Leader is [Boa Hancock], play up to 1 {Amazon Lily} or {Kuja Pirates} type Character card with a cost of 6 or less from your hand. 

[Counter]: Up to 1 of your [Boa Hancock] cards gains +3000 during this battle.

Of course, we will have more supports for Hancock, but doesn't really help the Leader effect, as well as we will be restricting to 2 type instead of using 7 Warlords, unless the new Hancock Leader support those cards. So I really don't know about this card, but I guess I could make Amazon Lily/Kuja Pirates combined if we got enough cards.

Thanks For The Treat ♡

Purple Event (EB03-038)

1 Cost

The Vinsmoke Family / Germa 66

[Main] You may rest 1 of your DON!! cards: If the number of DON!! cards you have on your field is equal or less than your opponent and you only have Characters with the types including {Germa}, you may add up to 2 DON!! card from your DON!! deck and rest it.

[Counter] Up to 1 of your Leader gains +3000 power during this battle.

This is quite good for Reiju build since we will be returning a lot of DONs to use some of the Germa 66 cards, and Germa 66 cards doesn't have ramp effect. This means we need to rely on non Germa for ramp effect whilst with this in the build, we can reduce the number, since the conditions is that we need only Germa on the field for the ramp.

Hina

Blue Character (EB03-025)

5 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)

Navy

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] You may trash 1 card from your hand: Return up to 1 Character with a base power of 6000 to the owner's hand 

A card that would work nice with Kuzan Leader, however, it seems we can only target 6k power only, and not any lower than 6k power. I guess on the bright side, we do have a 6k beat stick, but is this card worth the replacement? Maybe, since Kuzan still have plenty of spaces to add new cards for the build.

Makino

Red Character (EB03-009)

1 Cost / 0 Power (Wisdom)

Windmill Village

[Counter +2000]

[Activate: Main] You may rest this Character: Up to 1 of your Characters with no base effect gains +2000 power during this turn.

Basically, Makino supports vanilla decks this time unlike the OP02 version who supports 1 drop. Although, I wonder if there are vanilla decks out there where we could use this card. Maybe PRB01 Sanji Leader we could try and run this Makino in that build.

So It Was You Guys Making A Scene

Black Event (EB03-049)

1 Cost

Thriller Bark Pirates 

[Main] You may rest 7 of your DON!! cards: If your Leader is [Perona], you may play up to 1 {Thriller Bark Pirates} type Character card with a cost of 6 or less and 1 Character card with a cost of 4 or less from your hand or trash.

[Counter] Up to 1 of your Leader gains +3000 power during this battle.

This effect looks like a remake of the banned Moria but this time we are restricted to TB Pirates Characters, so the card won't be as broken as before. Not only that, this Event only works in Perona build, adding double the restriction, so we can't even play this in Moria build. I would take it, since those Characters won't need to be rested as well as we can play from the hand as well as the trash, but of course, choosing trash cards will be better as it would reduce the amount of cards we used up, unless there's a key card in your hand we must play on the field.

Nico Robin

Yellow Character (EB03-054)

3 Cost / 5000 Power (Strike)

Straw Hat Crew

[On Play] You may trash 1 card from the top card of your Life cards: add up to 1 card from the top of your deck to the top of your Life cards.

[Trigger] You may trash 1 card from your hand: Play this card.

I think the effect is okay, at least we do have a 5k beat stick for 3. I think it was Blue/Yellow Nami Leader where we can make use of Robin's effect as Nami need to do something with the Life cards to work. However, I could be wrong, and Nami only works during your opponent's turn. The trigger effect is going back to the old style yellow trigger effects where we need to discard a card to play this card.

Ulti

Black Character (EB03-039)

6 Cost / 7000 Power (Strike)

Animal Kingdom Pirates

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] If your Leader has the {Animal Kingdom Pirates} type, draw 1 card and trash 1 card from your hand. Then, play up to 1 Character with no base effect and 6000 power or less from your trash.

I don't know what's with these cards playing vanillas only, but I guess if you are running 2 to 3 in the build, then I would recommend running Ulti. But if you are only running 1, then, running Ulti could be a waste of space considering there are other cards we could prioritise in the build to make the deck better.

Isuka

Blue Character (EB03-022)

6 Cost / 6000 Power (Slash)

Navy

[Counter +1000]

<Blocker>
[On Play] Return up to 1 Character card with a cost of 4 or less to the bottom of the owner's deck.

The effect is very strong and being a Blocker, but will cost you 6 to play. This will be up to you if it's worth using the effect or not. We do have cards like Red Roc who can return any Characters for 6, but I guess, we don't have a Blocker on the field to stop your opponent's attacks.

Hibari

Red Character (EB03-008)

3 Cost / 5000 Power (Ranged)

Navy / SWORD

[On Play]/[When Attacking] Up to 1 {SWORD} type Leader or Character cards can also attack Active Characters during this turn. 

[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] Give up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters –1000 power during this turn. 

More Sword support for Koby build, and I do like the effect since the first effect can be used for both on play and when attacking. Plus being a 3 drop 5k is always nice to have in the deck. Koby should have plenty of room since we only got 1 set of Sword support as well as a card from PRB02 which is not really enough to make the deck shine.

Stussy

Black Character (EB03-043)

7 Cost / 7000 Power (Special)

CP0

<Blocker>
[On Play] You may place 2 cards with a type including "CP" from your trash at bottom of your deck in any order: K.O. up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters with a cost of 4 or less. 

Its been a while since I actually last saw CP support for Lucci deck, not to mention, this effect is very similar to OP03 Kaku with the only upside is that Stussy is a Blocker whilst Kaku is not. I'm not sure if it's worth the 7 cost since 7 cost you could run Jack in the build, but if you need more CP, this card could be an option for the build.

Charlotte Pudding

Purple Character (EB03-035)

4 Cost / 4000 Power (Wisdom)

Big Mom Pirates

[Counter +2000]

<Blocker> 
[On Play] If 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.

This is not bad, and could potentially reduce the number of 3 drop Pudding in the build to fit this Pudding. I don't know about dropping 3 drop Pudding entirely, but if this is worth the trade off, then I could, since this card also have Blocker and 2k counter we can use once we used the effect.

Monet

Red Character (EB03-010)

5 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)

Punk Hazard / Donquixote Pirates

[Counter +1000]

<Blocker>
[On Play] Look at 5 cards from the top of your deck; reveal up to 1 Character with 1000 Power or less or Event card and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order.

I guess Monet is going into Sugar build since Sugar is an Event focused deck, and we can make use of Monet effect. Not only that, we can also play Monet for free using the 8 drop Doffy who can play 5 drop DQ from hand. It will be a win win situation for Sugar deck. Hopefully I could find the room to fit in Monet in the build as I really need that effect.

Jewelry Bonney

Green Character (EB03-017)

5 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)

Supernovas / Bonney Pirates

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] If your Leader has the {Supernovas} type, set up to 1 DON!! card as active. Then, up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters with a cost of 8 or less cannot be rested until the end of your opponent’s next turn.

I swear we keep getting new support for Bonney deck even though the room is very tight. Although, for this Bonney, the effect is not bad as we can stop your opponents from attacking. I guess, I'll need to modify the Slash engine in the Bonney build if I want to use this card to make the deck even more annoying at it is.

Lilith

Yellow Character (EB03-058)

5 Cost / 6000 Power (Wisdom)

Egghead / Scientist

[Counter +1000]

[Your Turn] [On Play] If you have 2 or less Life cards, draw 1 card.

[Trigger] If your Leader is [Vegapunk], play this card. 

I definitely take this Lilith for Vegapunk deck, the extra draw power is definitely useful, since the more draw power we can get for that deck, the longer we can survive, and won't need to worry about your opponents hitting you very early on the game. Plus being a Scientist means we could use that Vegapunk Character to play her for free.

Marguerite

Blue Character (EB03-027)

6 Cost / 7000 Power (Wisdom)

Amazon Lily

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] Return up to 1 Character with a base power of 7000 to the owner’s hand.

More Amazon Lily support which we will be needing seeing the Event we've got, but I am not sure about the effect since we can only target 7k base power. I guess 7k is a lot, but we do need to wait for the right time to play Marguerite from hand.

Peacock

Black Character (EB03-041)

4 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)

Navy / SWORD

[Opponent’s Turn] All of your {SWORD} type Character cards with a cost of 6 or less gains +2000 power.

[On Play] Trash 1 {Navy} type card from your hand: Draw 2 cards. 

Another Sword card without a counter, but I think the effect is worth the trade off especially getting 2 Peacock on the field, giving your low cost Sword Characters 4k bonus, including this card, making those Characters harder for your opponents to hit. I'm not really bothered about the on play effect, but extra draws are always welcome to the deck build especially the lack of draw power the deck have.

Shirahoshi

Yellow Character (EB03-052)

3 Cost / 0 Power (Wisdom)

Merfolk / Fish-Man Island

[Counter +1000]

[Activate: Main] You may trash this Character: If your Leader is [Shirahoshi], add 1 card from the top of your deck to the top of your Life cards. Then, all of your Character cards with the {Neptunian} type gain +1000 power during this turn. 

More Shirahoshi, but I definitely like this card, not only we get a Life gain, but we can power up all of our Sea Kings so those cards can hit better numbers. Well, I'm definitely running this for the Life gain over the power. I guess this also means I don't need to cramp Kuma in the build, but running both Shirahoshi and Kuma in the build is always helpful.

Pull Rates

I don't know the pull ratios for Extra Boosters set, but it does seems to be AA wilkl replace SEC cards instead of getting both of them in one set. I guess this is only booster boxes. This make sense why SEC in EB sets are always expensive and never cheap to get.
