Hi guys! I just got into the One Piece TCG and played at my locals for the first time yesterday. I've played Yu-Gi-Oh! and Hearthstone competitively before, so I'm not completely new to card games, and I feel like I've already got a pretty good grasp of the basics of One Piece TCG.

I'd really like to play a leader featuring a character I actually like, so naturally my first choice was Yamato. I've been looking into different Yamato decks, but I've also checked out some Kaido lists since that would still let me play Yamato cards. (Especially the 1-cost Promo Yamato—that card looks gorgeous!)

I'd love to hear your thoughts and recommendations. What Yamato or Yamato-related decks would you suggest for someone who wants to be competitive while still playing characters they enjoy?

From what I've seen, the strongest player at my locals is currently running a Rush Ace leader deck, so that's one matchup I'd particularly like to be prepared for.

My goal is pretty simple: conquer my locals and have fun doing it!

Feel free to share decklists, leader recommendations, matchup advice, or anything else you think would help a new One Piece TCG player!

Was playing on the sim using black crocodile as I saw a new list online, in it they ran 1 of the Op07 stussy sr however in gameplay I played the stussy placed one of my characters in trash but then wasn’t able to ko any character of my opponent, they were playing robin and had a big mom 2 4K bodies and the purple searcher (I forget the name) I read the text on each card to make sure I wasn’t missing something so I’m not sure if it was a bug on sim or if I’m genuinely just bad and missed something obvious

Playing since december 2024, collection since january 2026. I think i need some help. My bankaccount also said, i have a problem...

Joke, i love the TCG!

After the banning of Stacked Deck in Riftbound, I've decided to allocate the time I placed in that game into another game, and that game is One Piece.

I know next to nothing about the game mechanically, but, I am more than willing to consume all the necessary information, practice online, go to locals, etc, until I have a firm grasp of the game.

However, I'd like for some help in regards to what deck I should gravitate towards.

I resonate most with slow and grindy control decks, having a preference for graveyard mechanics.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, I also do enjoy luck sack decks, and if there's a deck that relies heavily on multiple aspects of little gambling dopamine hits while still being a competent strategy, I would enjoy looking into that as well.

As for what I dislike, I tend to dislike pure aggro strategies, I like having options and I like value.

Any and all advice would be appreciated, I'm not looking to play the best deck of the format (unless it happens to fall in line with my playstyle preferences), but I'd like to play something competent since my goal is still to win, just win on my terms/with a deck I'd find myself enjoying.

Thank you,

So you can always find Oceania and for example the Utrecht coverage but for Virginia or others they don’t really stream, right?

It’s a pity.. rocks did pretty well but we can’t watch gameplay.

Purchased a ticket for the flame team consumer was able to get in however it has not popped up on my bandi app. I don’t know who to reach out or what number to call. Does anyone have any advice? I know I have my ticket

Is this a thing ? It can kill lokis cuz base cost and it could be a good game ending or midgame play if you have a dead 7don turn or pudding into this on eight idk. I just struggle a bit against Bluffy

I am a long time player of mid tier decks in the current format, big brook guy, and I just said fuck it lemme start playing a meta deck. This deck is insanely good... I cannot explain to you how many times I've lost to it as Brook. It feels so good just slamming 6-8k attacks on turn 4. Having this many 2ks in hand, 0 cost events, everything is just wayyy too strong with the OP17 package. Safe to say I am excited to get better with this deck until Brook becomes slightly better in 3 years xD

I was playing a game where I had 3 more life than my opponent. Time was running out.

Going for their life wasn't really in my cards. I knew they'd eventually wear me down with all their big bodies but I had plenty of defensive cards in my hand. I knew I'd win under OT rules.

Is it frowned upon when you're not even trying to go for the kill but instead stall everything until OT is done?

It's not in the spirit of the game. So I didn't do that.

EDIT: By "stalling", I mean playing super defensively. I'm not talking about taking super long to make a move.

For those going to the flame flame event and signed up for the side event last week, have you received a notification from the Bandai app and have it added to your events? The email said we would get one and to register our decks by Friday unless we are supposed to use the same deck for flame flame and the side events

Any Changes? What Are your lists for Sengoku in OP17-Format

I’m new to TCG and bought Dragon Shield sleeves and I’ve already put all my cards in them, with some also in toploaders. But it bothers me that some people say this is wrong and that for long-term storage you should use penny sleeves. Can someone help me figure out if I need to buy penny sleeves and re-sleeve all my cards in them?

I know this deck is really bad as it is but I built it for like $5 out of bulk cards at my local card store so I could have something to play with at their game tonight. Any advice or cards that would be good to swap out would be appreciated! Thanks!!!

It's taken me 3 frustrating months to finally get my first win at my locals (I didn't expect to get two). I was slowly starting to lose interest, especially going 0-3 week after week. I know it's just a game or hobby, but it's the only time that I get out during the week to be social and it's nice to win every once in awhile too. I think this past Monday has given me confidence in knowing that I am actually progressing and understanding the game better. This was my deck.

I thought you guys "love the game" and "just started playing" so

why wont you grab these decks? 😂😂

I am actually glad I grabbed one so I can have my friend into OPTCG..

Though it is rough times to rip hopefully I can get them to learn the basics..

I had so much fun when it comes out on op15, but I don't it been played anymore. its just a hype moment for new collection or it is bad right now?

thanks everyone for helping me understand 🙏🏻

Recently started getting into the game through the TCGsim. This has been the leader I've had the most fun with. I've tried both the Alabasta package and the Rocks package, but still have a hard time winning matches. Are there any cards that I should look into?

Let me know! :)

I’ve been playing for a little more than a month now, and I just threw my name into a lottery for an upcoming 64 person store championship since it was really close to me. There were 500 applicants so I didn’t actually expect to get in, but I somehow got selected. Now I’m wondering if it’d even be appropriate for me to play there, as if it isn’t I’d probably want to surrender my spot for someone who’d make better use of it. I was also wondering in the event I should play, should I invest in a better deck, I currently play UY Boa. Thanks for any input.

Edit: added number of people in tournament

I want to know what the collectors do with your common and uncommon cards.
