VV I had seen you comment about Digimon having the west and east be on the same release schedule. Any thoughts on how much that would benefit OPTCG and you planning on doing any Digimon stuff?
@-taboo_og It would be very beneficial. The current state of the game is, the East gets the new set, and then 3 1/2 months later we get what they just figured out over in the West... So there is never the feeling of playing in a new set or figuring out the new set and benefiting from playing against players who are also figuring it out. It's a horrible feeling. What's worse is there is nowhere near the product needed to stay on the shelves (it sells out the first day of prerelease and we never see it again). Fortunately there is a fan made Sim that we can play over here in the West and it has all the cards legal in the West AND the East. Which is great in the sense that we get to play with the new cards, but you could imagine the effect that has on the player base. Why go to a local tournament where: 1.) It will cost money to enter 2.) They are still on a hand me down older set 3.) There will be zero product to win (packs) Meanwhile, I can just stay at home and play the game on the Sim that has ALL the newest cards and just having all the cards to play any deck you want.. I'm sure you get it, it's quite the luxury. If Digimon continues to catch up the West like they plan, I may have to give a few locals a try and maybe put out some videos on it (no promises though lol). I already have a JumboChessmon deck somewhat finished, but we will have to see what happens. Likewise, if One Piece continues to struggle to put out product.. I don't know how the game will survive. I don't want to put off the wrong message, I don't see OP going anywhere anytime soon, but if something does happen, my fallback plan is actually Flesh and Blood or Grand Archive. But, then again, if something were to ever happen to OP:TCG I'd probably be playing and covering a multitude of games and putting out content on that (unlike what I'm doing now where its 100% OP).
@@Vvulfrik Yea it’s very backward thinking when we just had worlds and the East had to handicap themselves and play to our mega because we’re behind them. I hope they test out the waters with Digimon and implement this with the cash cow that OP is.
You can keep old decks in the new version by importing the new folder into the old one, it updates the sim while keeping already present deck files. About Rebecca what's letting me down is that she's missing good Dressrosa cards and the blue color seems almost pointless, only to splash one/two events in the deck. Like this her drawback feels even more pointless and only frustrating.
I was just about to write this same thing lol.. I also play with alt art cards and a custom background, and you can essentially do the same thing with all those assets as well, for anybody that ends up reading thru these and didn't know that. It took me a few sim updates before I learned how to do this myself unfortunately. So I get it for those out there who may not even have realized that was possible, cuz I sure as hell didn't. But I'll be damned if I ever have to recreate all my old decks ever again LOL
Can you explain why you Run blueno over usopp? For me, ussop IS more Aggro. Does a 2000 blocker ist Vetter then a 5000 Vanilla ? Thanks for tour answers !
Ussop is a fine choice over Blueno for sure. My primary idea behind it is about the curve while using Leader Effect (Perfect pull scenario, going First): Turn 1 (1 Don): New Genesis Turn 2 (3 Don): Don on Leader Swing + Blueno Turn 3 (5 Don): Don on Leader Swing + Don with Nami Effect Turn 4 (7 Don): Luffy -> Cheat out something Turn 5 (9 Don): Don on Kid -> Cheat out a Blocker like Blueno or Uta
Blue/black combo is strong and that is only thing going for the new sakazuki. New saka is the worse leader in the game effect wise to point that 99.5 vanilla leader that can attack. Deck already requires multiple pieces. The new skill makes even more bricky and when using it it is a hard neg for extremely mediocre skill. At this point when the next blue black leader is released and can attack it will instantly replace this leader. Honestly this was a slap in the players face. Banning saka was pointless because they are not going to unban saka as it will instantly replace there fix and just tanked any value in the leader AA.

Blue Black and marineford all you need lol🥳
Try some Rebecca with upgrades. She's seems very buffed looking to new saka vs she in hability

I would honestly rather Rebecca have 4 life and being able to attack, even 3 life lol not being able to swing every turn is such a detriment.
