Our locals took a vote on leaders and Rainbow Luffy won, so draft kind of turned into "How many Egghead triggers did you pull and how many are in your life every game?" Had a ton of fun, but for my packs I had 5 leader packs so I'm a bit salty. Someone in our group did pull the Manga though.
Yooo it was nice meeting you too Brian big grats on the 5-0 🔥🔥🔥 Ya man I appreciate you picking up a Mat and of course I love hearing about it showing up at the top table 💪 Unfortunately I didn't get to see any games because of how long my games ran lol, I was running RY Sabo, and while it was doing alright, Bonney was beating it up with all that lock down.
That event was genuinely a blast! So happy that even with Bandai doing everything they can to keep us from their product, we can still get that many together and have some real fun.
i ended up having an amazing draft card wise, got a lot of 2000C, blockers and pulled a lot of cards recommended in your other video bruiser wise, went 1-2 unfortunately. gotta watch more videos and get my game knowledge up lol. almost every single person at my event was running Kid tho, the only 2 not were me and another guy running yamato
Went to my first pre-release today! Found out that my locals runs rainbow Luffy for pre-releases so it was kinda funny using my phone to have his image up. My deck wasn't too crazy but I went 2-2 so I'm happy with the result. Had to lean into a kind of ramp from the Foxy pirates to get to my big bodies quicker.
Lmao you had pretty much the same goofy pull I did. I got Bonney but not the alt and an urouge. I got 2 Lucy and the new 4c law. Only like 5 or 6 2k and I think 4 or 5 blockers. I mainly had 4c & 5c 6k characters. We did 3 rounds and I lost them all. I got beat up by so many people with dragons and big blockers. I also realized after that people were playing Hawkins as a blocker but they didn’t have a supernova leader. I got screwed first game by basil Hawkins.
Rip, you hate to see it, ya sometimes you just draw straight trash for a Sealed event haha, it's why I never take them seriously and bring Leaders that no one thinks can win.. because honestly, if your pulls are good enough they carry you anyway.
@@Vvulfrik ohh I’ve noticed lol we had a girl there and it was her first time playing period. She plays magic. She one her second game because that 10c ace kept her going.
I had 3 prereleases this weekend so far and 1 tomorrow. The tournaments ran well and I pulled well but unfortunately, not enough product. My locals didn't get enough boxes. We had 53 people each for 2 separate events today at the same store. Only top 32 could get boxes however because there wasn't enough product. I luckily was able to get in top 32 for the 2nd event. I played yamato for the first event yesterday and went 0-4. I played kid for the 1st event today went 1-3. 2nd event today I got 11th place out of 53 people going 3-1 with bonney. Pulled 2 alt leaders this weekend so far; lucci and vegapunk.
Also the event I topped in, I pulled 4 srs and 1 alt leader. I also countered out of leader kid's two attacks both at 12k and that's how I won so that felt good. I only had 4 2ks and 3-4 blockers that event as well.
3-2!? With that kind of pack?!?? That's some mad skill! I pulled 2mihawk, 1boa, 1sabo,11 2k counter, 10 blockers, and the rest are vanilla and 1k counters. Leader was red Zoro and I felt Big when attacking. Helps not to discard as much. Went undefeated bc of the good pulls (and it helps when there's only 4 of us 😂 being new to optcg) Thanks to sim and TH-cam! It really helps!
When it comes to Pre-Releases I'd just stick with Bonney because she's very easy to use and is S-Tier for draft. I think Sabo can probably get the job done, but it will largely depend on what you pull from your packs.
Rosinante is interesting, because in a way it does get around the Bonney tapping something down because you can just stand up your Leader EOT to block for it.
Been to four prereleases locally so far. One more in a couple of days, and ready for it to be over. It can get pretty exhausting. Haha Went X-2 on most so far. One had a huge mishap with the guy running the app and closed the event after round 2 of what should have been 4 or 5. Wasn't a great time, but we were all also on a tight schedule, having to catch one or two other events almost immediately after. Jokingly brought a Japanese Lilith alt art card for luck and for three events straight, pulled the normal SR Lilith in each. We'll see if it continues into my last event for the playset. Lol Did get an O-Nami, though, so I'd say that's pretty lucky.
Anything you open from your Promo's and 6 packs should all be legal. But if your store has specific house rules against them, that's something you will have to talk to the store owner/judge about
Ya, Bonney is beast mode, allows you to tap things down and control the board that way. If I had a Rush card or two I think I would have been okay, but not having the extra attack against the Bonney's because of the Leader attack was really shutting me down.
Yeah, I think if you pull it, it's def the Leader you'd want to use for this prerelease. Especially if you get a couple of Urouges and maybe a Basil Hawkins. If you don't, I think Kid might be the best counter since he still allows two attacks.
I think you might be able to go wide and swing big with Zoro as your Leader if you pull the right cards. But against the Mid-Late Game pulls, you might just have to try going Bonney and fight fire with fire. Eustass Kid as a Leader wouldn't be too bad so that you can for sure swing twice if you need to

As much as I like running fun different Leaders, I also like the idea of forcing everyone on to the same Leader for balance purposes and fairness etc.
Was nice to meet you James. Got the 5-0 on your mat! Thanks for the good luck lol
Yooo it was nice meeting you too Brian big grats on the 5-0 🔥🔥🔥

@@Vvulfrik the Bonney was too strong! Good showing for the underdog leader tho. Hope to see you cooking up some new spice with the sabo for locals

It was a great time hanging out with everyone, and just playing. Plus im in the group photo xD
this is crazy too see as a european. our presell prices are below half that. sanji for example is 5 euro rn, so about 6 usd
Dang, that's crazy, not sure what's going on over here in the US with prices, but they really need to fix it.
Presale prices are always INSANE in the US regardless of the game. It works itself out about a week after the set is out

Your r/y sabo was fun to watch
For a sec I thought this was Coolstuff Tampa and was like “go figure they show up at the only prerelease in my area I didn’t go to” 😂
Lol, no way bro, would have definitely hit you up.

🔥🔥🔥Grats on undefeated, that's what's up!
Very tempted to try Sabo now but I’ve never played it so idk what I’m doing.
When it comes to Pre-Releases I'd just stick with Bonney because she's very easy to use and is S-Tier for draft. I think Sabo can probably get the job done, but it will largely depend on what you pull from your packs.
What about the Rosinante leader? Might help keep characters on the board even though you have to take life
Rosinante is interesting, because in a way it does get around the Bonney tapping something down because you can just stand up your Leader EOT to block for it.
Bonnie in prerelease felt more oppressive then Yamato last set imo
Really felt like if you weren't running Bonny you were playing to lose
It does feel like Kid is the best counter if you can navigate them down to one life well enough with what you have, at least.@@BigCapMan
Been to four prereleases locally so far. One more in a couple of days, and ready for it to be over. It can get pretty exhausting. Haha

Jokingly brought a Japanese Lilith alt art card for luck and for three events straight, pulled the normal SR Lilith in each. We'll see if it continues into my last event for the playset. Lol
Did get an O-Nami, though, so I'd say that's pretty lucky.
Forgot to bring the JPN Lilith.
No Lilith pulls. No alt arts. Just trash. Not even a DON card.
The game was rigged from the start. 🥲
Is it the store's choice to let you use the promo in your deck? My stores never let us.
Anything you open from your Promo's and 6 packs should all be legal. But if your store has specific house rules against them, that's something you will have to talk to the store owner/judge about
@@Vvulfrik ok I never knew that. Thanks!
man big props for running RY sabo lol. seems not good to me, but who knows.. kid, bonney, even zoro they all sound better
Ya, Bonney is beast mode, allows you to tap things down and control the board that way. If I had a Rush card or two I think I would have been okay, but not having the extra attack against the Bonney's because of the Leader attack was really shutting me down.
So when if you pull Bonnie leader would it be better to run than kid basically?
I think so personally, though some may disagree.
Yeah, I think if you pull it, it's def the Leader you'd want to use for this prerelease. Especially if you get a couple of Urouges and maybe a Basil Hawkins.
If you don't, I think Kid might be the best counter since he still allows two attacks.
Thanks!
Broooo always taking the worst pics of me lmao
Bro there are no bad pictures of you
what leader should i use to beat bonnie?
I think you might be able to go wide and swing big with Zoro as your Leader if you pull the right cards. But against the Mid-Late Game pulls, you might just have to try going Bonney and fight fire with fire. Eustass Kid as a Leader wouldn't be too bad so that you can for sure swing twice if you need to
so youre saying i shouldnt bring my rebecca leader?
