Thanks for the daily videos VV! I know schedules with your teaching might be tough sometimes, so I always appreciate the time your’re making and the videos you’re recording for the community!
RY Sabo Sensei! I’m glad you believe in RY Sabo like I do! Been following your page and always excited to watch your vids on any deck and taking your advice. Really appreciate the helpful tips and strategies since I only play Sabo at the moment, but since I’ve been on it for months gonna give it a little break and want to learn RB Marco. Seeing a lot of packages with him but which one will be more consistent for matches! Thank again for all you do! 💪
Hello VV, greetings from Spain, I have been following you for a while, but I have been watching almost all of your latest videos, and despite not playing any OPTCG, I would love to be able to take the step. Looking forward to seeing more about Yellow/Purple Robin, my favorite leader at the moment. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the daily vids Vivi. These are always interesting to watch. I love theory crafting decks and your videos always give ne good ideas. I'd actually like your thoughts on my BY Luffy deck. Its a little different because i include 8c Sabo. I've had a lot of fun with it on the sim and its more annoying for decks like Doffy to deal with it. 1xST13-003 2xOP02-114 4xOP04-083 4xOP06-086 3xOP07-118 4xEB01-056 4xOP06-106 4xOP07-109 4xST13-007 2xST13-010 2xST13-011 4xST13-013 4xST13-014 3xST13-015 3xEB01-051 3xOP02-117
Very interesting list, I like the 8c Sabo's as a potential Tempo play on the 8 Don turn before you're ready to drop Gecko. I do like having some of the Searcher Events in there, but going the 3 Ice Age and 3 Shigan's seems good too.
Hi. Really appreciate the video. Gave me a lot of ideas for the deck. Would like to ask you about the yellow 5c sabo from ST13. Do I need to have one life left to activate it on play effect of removal a 5C card from the opponent field ?
Now that would be something I'd love to see... A Vv BY Luffy deck list that doesn't run Gecko lol I feel like down the line 8c Gecko will either be banned or leader locked (with an official new rule or reprint. Wishful thinking lol) so maybe you can be ahead of the curve with trying to save the deck 😂
id swing with the sabo and replace the sabo keeping the luffy cause it would mean i got to swing 6k, 8k, 9, 11k instead of 9k, 6k, 11k and 1 life 1 blocker with the ammount of counter you had is still extremely safe
I have a question: The effect of BY Luffy does not negate the effects of Makino, Flampe, and Hiyori? Every time you play Makino or Hiyori, you get a card on your hand. I thought this would not happen due to BY Luffy's effect and come under deck?
The best way I can explain this is that the Bold part of a cards text is part of the cost if you wish to activate it's effect. If a card is Face Up in your Life and you try to use those 2k Counter cards Effects it won't work. You can still attempt to satisfy the added cost of messing with a Life card, but then the Life card will go to the bottom of your deck (per the Leaders modified Rules). Then because the 2k Counters cost condition failed in returning a card to your hand, you can not continue on with the remainder of the Effect. Hopefully this made sense, it's very hard to explain.
@@Vvulfrik Yes that really helps a lot thanks for the answer. Also, when I play BY Luffy, only the face-up Life Cards come under the deck. Normal Life Cards that I get through damage or card effects to my Hand, do not fall under BY Luffy's effect because they are face down. Right?
I wonder if 8 cost Sabo would ever have a place in the deck instead of 10 cost Kuzan, especially since it's searchable by Garp 🤔 EDIT: Not searchable by Garp due to the cost 5 or less restriction, that sucks :( Another idea is swapping out the kuzan's for stussy, since this deck struggles to deal with huge bodies placed on curve
Ya, if you don't like the Kuzan I think you could try the Stussy or 8c Sabo in those spots and see if you like it more. I truly believe that spot is totally flexible.
Hello ruling clarification question. Does st13-008 sabo have to trash the life to get the pop? What if life is empty. Or since it says you may. Do you have to?
So if you read the card you'll see that the first part of the effect is bolded and then it goes un-bolded. Text that is bolded is mandatory if you choose to activate the effect. So the KO effect is contingent on trashing a life card, if you can't trash a life card, the mandatory requirement is not met. But you don't have to activate the effect, which is why it starts with YOU MAY.
Correct, you have to have a Life to Trash in order to do the KO Effect. It is worded as you "may" so that you don't have to do it On Play if you don't want to. If I'm not mistaken per the rules On Play Effects are not actually optional effects unless otherwise stated within the Cards Effect, like how Sabo says, "you MAY" pay the cost of Trashing a Life card to KO a 5 or Less. "8-1-2. Effects may include words indicating choice, such as “can” and “may”. Where such a word is included, players may choose not to activate the relevant effect. Where no such word is included, the effect must always be activated and processed to the extent possible. " Hopefully this helped!
The 2nd game against lucci where you played a gecko and put a baby over a tapped gecko was a big misplay. You should have swung for 6 with the blocker sabo instead of punch luffy. Then play gecko over the tapped sabo and 2 baby sabo over the flampe and hiyori. Use first baby sabo effect to go to zero life and then punch luffy effect to go to 8k and swing. Then leader effect and put rocket luffy on bottom of life and sabo on top of life. Use the 2nd baby sabo to have 2 blocker sabo and 1 life while also swinging 8k with punch luffy.

Thanks for the match review! I thought it was a really good analysis of the game!!
No way you just dropped a BY Luffy video.. I just made the deck this morning haha!
Awesome video!
Let’s goooooo
Hi. Really appreciate the video. Gave me a lot of ideas for the deck. Would like to ask you about the yellow 5c sabo from ST13. Do I need to have one life left to activate it on play effect of removal a 5C card from the opponent field ?
Correct you do have to have a Life to Trash to KO a 5 or less
@@Vvulfrik thank you. The mechanic of this deck is so much higher to master
Now that would be something I'd love to see...
A Vv BY Luffy deck list that doesn't run Gecko lol
I feel like down the line 8c Gecko will either be banned or leader locked (with an official new rule or reprint. Wishful thinking lol) so maybe you can be ahead of the curve with trying to save the deck 😂
Oh hey I got absolutely flattened by this deck at locals tonight. Pain!
Yep, very tough deck to beat!
id swing with the sabo and replace the sabo keeping the luffy cause it would mean i got to swing 6k, 8k, 9, 11k instead of 9k, 6k, 11k and 1 life 1 blocker with the ammount of counter you had is still extremely safe
and on the next turn you still have an 8k luffy to swing with for game
Im a RY Sabo convert. And yeah I don't like playing meta meta because of how awful mirror matches can be.
I have a question: The effect of BY Luffy does not negate the effects of Makino, Flampe, and Hiyori? Every time you play Makino or Hiyori, you get a card on your hand. I thought this would not happen due to BY Luffy's effect and come under deck?
In the sim, it negates the effect of those 3
The best way I can explain this is that the Bold part of a cards text is part of the cost if you wish to activate it's effect. If a card is Face Up in your Life and you try to use those 2k Counter cards Effects it won't work.

@@Vvulfrik Yes that really helps a lot thanks for the answer. Also, when I play BY Luffy, only the face-up Life Cards come under the deck. Normal Life Cards that I get through damage or card effects to my Hand, do not fall under BY Luffy's effect because they are face down. Right?
@@benjamin_3835 Correct, all your normal Face Down Life Cards will still go to hand or be able to activate Triggers
Lol. That BY Luffy so Unlucky.
You got 3 Sabos. Thats 6 cards draw and yet he didnt see his Moria. 😅
Ya that was wild >_
I wonder if 8 cost Sabo would ever have a place in the deck instead of 10 cost Kuzan, especially since it's searchable by Garp 🤔 EDIT: Not searchable by Garp due to the cost 5 or less restriction, that sucks :(
Another idea is swapping out the kuzan's for stussy, since this deck struggles to deal with huge bodies placed on curve
Ya, if you don't like the Kuzan I think you could try the Stussy or 8c Sabo in those spots and see if you like it more. I truly believe that spot is totally flexible.
where can i play??? that sun looks fun is that online play?
Ya the Sim is completely free to play and easy to setup, here is my tutorial on it: th-cam.com/video/Jjsns41d-gc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Dc_ASXBGFX2VeimH
