GCG Link Station Ep 53 - Freedom Ascension [GD05] Upgrade Battle!

 

We do have ST14 cards reveal and in this video will be showing the 2 decks with the GD05 supports. Of course, I care more about the cards reveal than the fight, but I must say, writing ST11-14 is just a lie when I can only see ST14 cards only. Might as well ignore ST11 and the rest and just write ST14 only.

[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.

GCG Link Station Ep 51 - Freedom Ascension [GD05] First-Look Battle! & Ban List Revealed

 

Before you watch this video, the ban list was never mentioned in this video even though, it is revealed on the same day. The Link Station video only focus on SP cards and Events revealed. I've decided to cramp these 2 together to save me from double posting, and they are both related to GCG, so there's really no point creating a separate post.

GCG Link Station Ep 48 - [ST10]＆[EB01] Team Battle!

 

As expected, the new SD G Generation is more suited for team battles rather than single, so they are showing off the new cards in this video. Of course, there are card reveals and not just a team battle in this video. More cards revealed combined with yesterday Bandai presentation for GD05.

[One Piece Card Information Bureau] OP16 - THE TIME OF BATTLE Unboxing

 

That was quick, we didn't get much information video for OP16 for both EN and JP Channels, and now they went straight to unboxing, so I guess, there will be a lot of cards I'll be posting. Although, some of the cards have already been revealed, so it won't be anything new.

[One Piece Card Information Bureau] OP16 - THE TIME OF BATTLE Events Revealed

There's a new presentation format revealed, and it basically tells you all about how to play the Leaders. The Leaders have already got the official English translation from the OPCG World Finals video, so I can skip that part. Although, this video talks more about the new Events for each of the decks rather than the cards itself.

Digimon Card Battle - BT-25 DUAL REVOLUTION First Look Battle! Part3

 

There's actually nothing much revealed except there's a BT25 promo video which reveal some of the card's effects for the set. I don't know anything about Glowing Dawn or TS Gear Forest. Those decks looks pretty new to me, so I have no comment about the fight in this video.

GCG Link Station Ep 40 - Phantom Aria[GD04] Unboxing

 

Just an unboxing video for GD04 and hopefully, we could get the same pull rates as I don't think the box changed for JP format. This will be a very short post as there is nothing much to talk about, so you can easily skip the rest of the post if you want.

OP15 Red/Blue (Lucy) Deck Profile

The only complaint is that this Leader destroys the point of Lucy, and I guess they didn't think this through when they also made Luffy as a yellow Leader in the same set, as they made a yellow Luffy Leader not long ago, and there are plenty of Sky Island Characters that could be made as a Leader. Then again, I don't know what the creators for this game are thinking, and I am still waiting for my Kuma Leader.

OP15 Blue (Rebecca) Deck Profile

Rebecca got a reboot for OP15 set and looks like we still cannot attack with this princess just like the OG version. Personally, I don't like the new effect as I don't think the new effect does much than spamming on play effect again, since there aren't much 3 drops that could really change the game around, especially when we have 1 less attack.

GCG Link Station Ep 39 - Phantom Aria[GD04] First Battle ! Vol.2

 '

Nothing much revealed for this video unless you care about the match. There is a card reveal, but it is nothing new, just a special rarity just like the OPCG game where they reprint certain cards with special rarity, so this post will be very short.

OP15 Purple (Enel) Deck Profile

Enel got a reboot, so if you like the Sky Island, we wouldn't need to worry about Block 2 cards getting rotated out in the next rotation. I must say, I have underestimated this deck, I thought the cards with 1 drop Sky Island stuff and limited 6 DONs would be terrible as there are weakness with running low cost Characters. But turns out, this deck is amazing, and in fact I've also decided to make 2 deck builds for Enel as we can make use with all sorts of builds. 

One Piece Card Game Emergency Ban List (effective from April 10, 2026)

 

I feel this ban list is unfair for global players because we never got a chance to try the cards compare to the JP format. The simultaneous release is taking time to take effect, but looks like they've only focused on what is happening for the JP format rather than on a global scale. Well, I think this also happened to Digimon once where the cards didn't get release for global, but already got hit because of the JP format.

[One Piece Card Information Bureau] STARTER DECK EX -Luffy & Ace- [ST-30] Unboxing

 

Looks like we have an unboxing video for ST30 Ace & Luffy deck. We know the Leader, Luffy and Ace's effect in the ST30 as they have been revealed with official translation. I'll be skipping those 3 cards for this video as I don't think there's any need to post those effects again. I guess I'll be posting the rest of the cards that could be shown in this video, ignoring vanillas.

GCG Link Station Ep 36 - Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Series" Limited Battle!

Link Station episode is out today, and today is all about Limited Battle with the Seed series. Although only limited to Japan it seems, so we may not get this for Global. Then again, if it's Limited Battle with 00 Series, I will be interested, but Seed not so much even though I like their mobile suit designs. We also have card reveals which is the main reason why I'm making this post.

Digimon Card Battle - AD-01 Omnimon VS Medusamon

 

AD01 releases next week I think, I guess I'll be trying either Omni build or Imperial build. I don't think I'll be posting any of those decks on the blog as the timeframe is too tight. I guess with rotation format at the start of April for OPCG, I see how many decks I can build with OP15/EB04 set, then, I could start on DCG stuff if I got time.

One Piece Ban List effective from April 1, 2026

 

The ban list was surprising. Only one colour got hit and the other colours are fine. OP06 Pudding is banned because it stops decks from gaining large hand size. I think this hits most of my blue decks, but not like it matters since I am mainly running 1 or 2 copies in the build, I can easily replace them with other cards. 

One Piece Card Game World Finals 25-26

 

A lot of information have been revealed for OPCG and not just about the WCS. Luckily, the global side has also translated the stuff in this video, so I don't need to translate the stuff manual and try and figure our what's what. I just need to write my opinions about the stuff they've released. Do note, some of the products will have different release date for JP and EN. It does make sense since rushing all the products to catch up with JP will be a mess like DCG back then, so they will do it slowly, but we should be able to catch up near Autumn/Winter.

EB03 Red/Purple (Sugar) Deck Profile

We got some new DQ Pirates supports in OP14, but I've waited until EB03 to post Sugar build, so I could cramp all the new cards together, rather than doing double posting, considering the time. The OP14 stuff does provide some nice supports to the deck, especially the new Events, so we could make use of Sugar's effect.

ONE PIECE CARD GAME OP15-EB04 Unboxing

 

An unboxing video for OP15-EB04 set, but I am mainly looking forward to the other half of EB04 set to complete some of the decks with EB04 cards. It is kinda annoying if you have a deck that uses colours from the first half of the EB04, but also need the second half of EB04 to complete the build. So it just leaves a half completed build until we can get the second half of EB04.
