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

 

It seems I have missed last week card reveals during the World Championship for Japan. I need to be on a look out because YouTube doesn't show any new videos from the channels I've subscribed. I blame their AI for this as it has gotten worst than before. Anyway, a very short video about OP14 cards revealed as they are mainly the rare cards for the set, but it won't be all the rare cards that are revealed for OP14 as there will be more later. I also noticed Miss Valentine is in the thumbnail, but we haven't got any effects revealed in the video, I wonder if they missed the card or something.

Cards

Roronoa Zoro

Red Character (OP14-015)

7 Cost / 8000 Power (Slash)

Supernova / Straw Hat Crew

[Rush] 
[When Attacking] Give up to 1 of your opponent's Characters −1000 power during this turn.

Not too bad, a nice Rush with a when attacking effect. Although, the when attacking effect is not a lot so you will need to combine with your other power reducers if you want to make you attacks more hittable. I guess it depends on what you will pair this card with.

Arlong

Blue Character (OP14-042)

1 Cost / 3000 Power (Slash)

Fish-Man / Sun Pirates

[On Play] If your Leader has the {Fish-Man} type, look at 4 cards from top of your deck; reveal up to 1 card with a cost of 2 or more, and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order.

Arlong look buff in this image, but I don't get the effect. Its a search effect, but we don't see any counters on this card. I guess it's because we can add any cards in our hand as long as our Leader is a Fishman to trigger Arlong's effect. It does means we don't need to run a pure Fishman build, or a build with a lot of Fishman cards, since we have this searcher in the build.

Vergo

Purple Character (OP14-061)

5 Cost / 7000 Power (Strike)

Punk Hazard / Navy / Donquixote Pirates

[Once Per Turn] If your {Donquixote Pirates} type Character would be removed from the field by your opponent's effect, you may return 1 DON!! card from your field to your DON!! deck instead.

[When Attacking] DON!! −1: Give up to 1 of your opponent's Characters −2000 power during this turn.

I am thinking of running Vergo in G/P Doffy as this card will make Birdcage last longer on the field with the amount of DONs you can return. Although, I do think G/P Doffy will be out of rotation by the time OP14 has comes out. The other option is that I could run this in Sugar build as there are plenty of ramp involve, and having Vergo who can protect your DQ Pirates will be very useful.

Mr.1(Daz.Bonez)

Black Character (OP14-090)

5 Cost / 6000 Power (Slash)

Baroque Works

[Counter +1000]

If there is a Character with a cost of 0 or 8 or more, this Character can attack Characters on the turn in which it is played.
[On Play] Rest up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 0.

This is not bad because we can also rest your opponent's Characters before we can make this a pseudo Rush. I would take it if the deck doesn't have as much removals in the build, so we would need to rely on attacking, forcing your opponents to use more cards from their hand.

Absalom

Yellow Character (OP14-100)

3 Cost / 5000 Power (Ranged)

Thriller Bark Pirates

[On K.O] Look at 3 cards from top of your deck, you may reveal 1 {Thriller Bark Pirates} type card and add it to your hand. Then, place the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order.

[Trigger] Play up to 1 {Thriller Bark Pirates} type Character card with a cost of 4 or less from your trash rested.

This feels like Perospero situation where we need the card to KO in order to trigger the search effect. Although, there's also the trigger effect that could be very useful since we will still be milling our deck building up the trash. But that Character does come rested, so we might have to choose the one with on play effects that could affect your opponent's attacks.

Silvers Rayleigh

Yellow Character (OP14-108)

6 Cost / 6000 Power (Slash)

[Counter +1000]

Former Roger Pirates

[On Play] If your Leader is multicolored and your opponent has 3 or less Life cards, KO up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with base power of 7000 or less.

[Trigger] Activates this card's [On Play] effect.

Its a shame that Rayleigh only works with multicoloured Leader or else, this would be great to have in yellow builds. It is still great to have as long as your Leader is multicoloured, because 7k power or less is a lot, and would be better than Gedatsu who requires Life cards to work. This still requires Life cards, but during mid to late game, Rayleigh can become effective whilst Gedatsu only works during the early turn, otherwise he would become a 5 drop 6k beat stick. We also got the trigger effect which is the same as the on play effect, and that could be useful if you need removals in the build.
