[One Piece Card Information Bureau] EB04 Egghead Crisis Unboxing

 

As you know, part of EB04 cards are already out in English, so we are only waiting for the second part of EB04 in OP15. I will keep this post short because some colours are already out in English. I don't think we will need the translation here. I will only translate the colours that will be in OP15 set.

Cards

Zeff

Red Character (EB04-004)

7 Cost / 8000 Power (Strike)

East Blue

[When Attacking] Your Leader’s base power becomes 7000 until the end of your opponent’s next End Phase.

I actually like Zeff, but Red does have a lot of powering up for the Leader, so I wonder if you could make a deck that focuses on just powering up Leader for defence. Of course, you will need to make Zeff attack first before you play your other powers up, otherwise, your power up will just revert back to 7k.

Emet

Yellow Character (EB04-051)

8 Cost / 7000 Power (Strike)

Egghead

If there are no Characters with a base power of 12000 or more, this Character cannot attack

[Trigger] Give all of your opponent’s Characters -3000 power until the end of this turn. Then, if you have 0 Life cards, play this card.

Well, I guess Emet stay true to the series, how this mecha wouldn't move until certain conditions are met. They applied that restrictions into the card game, and personally, I don't think it's good except the Trigger effect. I guess you could always run the card for the trigger effect if you have the room, but there are plenty of yellow cards that are better than Emet.

Lulusia Kingdom

Red Stage (EB04-010)

7 Cost

Lulusia Kingdom

[Opponent’s Turn] All of your Characters with a base cost of 1 gains +5000 power.

[On Play] Set the power of up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters to 0 during this turn.

Its always nice that they've brought a wiped Kingdom back to the card game even though this is just a fodder nation. However, reading the effect make use want to revive 1 drop Rush builds. Although, by the time OP15 set comes out, the rotation should be kicked in, and I don't know if I want to go through those old cards again, since I want to focus on the main format to be able to post other card games deck profile

Black Rope Dragon Twister

Yellow Event (EB04-059)

6 Cost

Fish-Man Island / Supernovas / Straw Hat Crew

[Main] You may turn 1 card from the top of your Life cards face-up: If the number of your Characters on your field  is less than the number of your opponent's Characters, KO up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 6 or less and up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 5 or less.

[Trigger] Draw 2 cards and trash 1 card from your hand.

This looks like a yellow version of Gravity Blade, but there's more requirements as you need to maintain less Characters than your opponent, so Gravity Blade is miles better as no Characters requirement needed. Some yellow decks who could spam Characters won't be able to make use of this Event unless your opponent just wipe all of your Characters.

Vegapunk

Yellow Character (EB04-057)

2 Cost / 0 Power (Wisdom)

Ohara / Scientist

[Counter +1000]

If you have 2 or less Life cards, all of your yellow {Scientist} type Characters cannot be removed from the field by your opponent’s effects.
[DONx1] This Character gains <Blocker>

More Ohara supports, but unfortunately this only works with Vegapunk build where that build will be running a lot of Scientist in the build, and not for Robin. We now have a card who can protect our Scientists from removal effect which is important for Vegapunk. We only start with 2 Life cards, so we need board presence to put pressure against your opponents.

I’ll Whip You Into Shape ♡

Black Event (EB04-050)

1 Cost

Navy / SWORD

[Main] Up to 1 of your {SWORD} type Leader or Characters can also attack active Characters during this turn.

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

Not bad, if SWORD deck doesn't have removals, we will have to use this kind of strategy to remove your Characters from the field. All of your opponent's Characters will be active when they are played, unless they have Rush or playing Lim deck. So this Event will be very handy, beside, we also have a counter effect even if you can't use the main effect as a backup option.

Distorted Future

Red Event (EB04-008)

1 Cost

Egghead / Bonney Pirates

[Main] If you have 2 or less Life cards, give up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters -3000 during this turn.

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

A nice card that could work with the new Bonney Leader from EB04, reducing your opponent's Characters power even more. It's easy to get 2 or less Life cards with Bonney deck, but for other Red decks, I can only think of Whitebeard as the other, or else, you will need to start with 3 Life cards to run this Event.

Pull Ratios

No Secret Rare pulled, just an AA, 3 SRs and a DON. Although, this won't matter for the EN players as we might have the same ratios as OP14 box.
