[One Piece Card Information Bureau] OP17 THE WORLD'S STRONGEST WARRIORS Events Reveal

 

Another short video for OP17, and it is all about Events from each of the colours. I think OP17 release date is quite close to coming out next month, so I'm surprised we are at revealing Events stage, unless I've got the dates mixed up with other games, and it could be at the end of next month.

Cards

I Think He’s Seen An Ugly Future

Green Event (OP17-038)

0 Cost

Red-Haired Pirates

[Main] You may rest 4 of your cards: Rest up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters.

[Counter] You may trash 1 card from your hand: Up to 1 of your Leader or Character cards gains +3000 power during this battle.

For a 0 cost, this is not bad as the counter effect is the same as any other 0 cost Events whilst the main effect can let you rest any of your opponent's Characters for 4. Well, it would be great with cards like OP07 Bonney as you would still have enough DONs to stop that Character from being active.

Drunken Dragon Bagua

Purple Event (OP17-078)

2 Cost

The Four Emperors / Animal Kingdom Pirates

[Main] You may rest 2 of your DON!! cards and trash 2 cards from your hand: If your Leader has the {Animal Kingdom Pirates} type, add up to 3 DON!! cards from your DON!! deck and set it as rest.

[Counter] Give up to 1 of your Leader or Character cards +4000 power during this battle.

For 2, it's not bad, but definitely losing 2 cards for the ramp can be a risk, especially if the deck doesn't have search or draw to make up the hand size. Otherwise, we will be mainly be using this card for the counter effect.

Maser Saber

Yellow Event (OP17-117)

1 Cost

The Four Emperors / Big Mom Pirates

[Counter] Up to 1 of your [Charlotte Linlin] cards gets +3000 power during this battle.

[Trigger] Your opponent may trash 3 cards from their hand, if they do not, you may K.O. up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 6 or less.

The counter effect only works with Big Mom, but the trigger effect can be useful, especially when you can target your opponent's important Characters. The only downside will be against decks who can draw a lot of cards on top of searchers, those builds won't mind discarding 3 if we only trigger this once or twice.

Gum-Gum Kong Pistol

Black Event (OP17-098)

1 Cost

Elbaph / The Four Emperors / Straw Hat Crew

[Main] You may rest 6 of your DON!! cards: If there is a Character with a cost of 12 or more, K.O. up to 2 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 6 or less. 

[Counter] Your Leader gains +3000 power during this battle.

Kong Pistol is not bad. The main effect is just like Gravity Blade, but Gravity Blade doesn't need a 12 cost on the field in order to remove your opponent's Characters, whereas, this card needs to. It still cost 7 altogether, but we've got more requirements.
