Good video as always dude. I play 3 of their games, so I enjoy how they are trying to balance them out. But I agree that they need to work on a dedicated stream for each major card game. The guy calling the Digimon finals the Pokémon championships was one example.

Egman wasn't one of the casters and I promise you that of the 5 casters, two of them play one or two of the 5 games regularly, but only those games pretty much. I'm assuming you didn't watch the broadcast if you're saying Egman was one of the casters? Because he would be an ideal candidate for doing these events

As someone who comes for MTG, i feel that Bandai Misses the pont of how important is coverage for the growt of a game. One of the main reasons MTG had a strong competititve scene was the way the present events like the pro tour. And the worst part is that from KZbin today we are getting better coveraghe from these events than from the official sorces. One Piece has all the potential to become one of the big TCG's out there (specially now that YuGIoH and MTG are dropping the ball)... but we need better coverage.

Honestly one of the biggest issues imo has been not enough staffing for these bigger events, waiting 2+ hours in line to get in when you have side events you preregistered for is unacceptable. I even applied to be part of judge/staffing but was not reached out to so I'm guessing they are just bad at estimating what they need but still PlayTCG is the main TO Bandai uses for these larger NA events and they continue to disappoint and it just feels bad to travel so far out for lackluster experiences.
@TheLuffyTCG14 сағат бұрын
The funny thing is that I think they probably staff enough people but don't know how to allocate them correctly throughout the days. I believe that having all of them focusing on the line first then moving people into other positions once that's taken care of should be super easy

Between the lack of side events, the lack of qualifiers for next years nats. The lack of vendors, merch shops, lack of judges, I don’t think players give af about the stream but about the lack of actual participation of non competitor events. Like shutting down side events to none competitors was ass. The online regionals fill up so fast that the fact they missed on the cash cow that having in person qualifiers there was insane. When koonami runs a better event than you, you have a problem
@Tmgworkout18 сағат бұрын
Not including the lack of prizes on the prize wall for getting tickets after your side events. Literally infront of the judges and TO’s scalpers are buying 10-20-30 tickets at a time and buying multiple expensive prizes from the wall making the reward for winning a side events pretty much not worth it.
@TheLuffyTCG18 сағат бұрын
I agree on the side events for day 2 only being available to competitors. That was wrong. I felt like they had a fair amount of side events though, but only 1 judge per event was crazy.
@Tmgworkout18 сағат бұрын
@ my thing is compared to an event like yugioh it’s 15-20 qualifiers a day with 12-16 man pods. 1 judge can can handle 128 people if they are split up into different groups of 12-16. I feel like they solely made nats to be about a showcase vs a player based event. The side events filled up so fast with the same people signing up for multiple events that people that showed up day of or event lost day 1 of the event couldn’t get into side events because they only had 3 one piece events day 2. Bandai just seemed unprepared and unorganized through the whole deal once they started the main event day 1. From a spectator perspective that is also a competitive player but couldn’t get into any regionals it would have been nice to have multiple events and judges for union arena and one piece.

I'm debating the hitokiri with the other 2k counter 3c usohachi. If hitokiri already takes quite a bit of set up, would it be better to set up 3c usohachi on one turn and swing with 1 don on him next? I feel like he would be better in the blackbeard matchup because he gets around the "On Play: Don -1" cards to get rid of smaller bodies
@TheLuffyTCG8 күн бұрын
I don't really see many times that I'd want to play a 4k with this deck personally. You'd have to dedicate one don each turn to it and you don't get the effect until two turns at least after it's played. So it's like losing a 2k out of hand for less value. Hitokiri is at least a 5k so you don't have to dedicate any don to it

I really dislike the 9 cost Luffy. It's just a winmore when not really needed, and a brick when really needed. Can you explain why he's good in practice? I can see he's good on paper but testing him he's just useless. I'd literally rather have a 1k 95% of the time. Also, what about Douglas Bullet? Seemed pretty intriguing vs some matchups, haven't had the chance to test him. Kamazo works decently with 7cost Kid, since you can -1 even if Blackbeard blocks your on play, and you can play Kamazo AFTER Kid in other matchups as well so you're not forced to turn 2 Kamazo. Maybe the new chopper is also good for that purpose. But having tried the vanilla Usopp myself I'm tempted to just drop the Kamazos. Also, I've found the deck really likes to go 2nd in some cases, like vs Blackbeard. You delay 10beard, and you can go 5 into 8 Don in order to double 4 drop on turn 3.
@TheLuffyTCG17 күн бұрын
So as far as 9 cost Luffy, it's just really insane into the mirror, shanks, and BY Luffy matchups! Can't take it out of the deck because of those matches being popular in the meta. As far as 7 cost kid is concerned, I tried the card in the deck and you're right it's great into blackbeard but other than that I found it to be pretty useless into most other matchups. I'd rather have luffytaro on curve.
