How to Play ONE PIECE TCG!! | Straw Hats VS Animal Kingdom Pirates Starter Decks Tutorial Match!!

[@alexbregant2271]

This tutorial was perfect man, I’ve watched 3 before this and none of them were as in depth or as entertaining as this one. GREAT video!

[@corvusblackfeather456]

i like the how a lot of the mechanics are similar to other tcgs but yet feel fresh when playing this game. definitely a must by for me. i love tcgs that use the shield/trigger system but also use a mana system at the same time.

[@rustmarrow]

Yes, really like the balance between familiar and fresh they achieved with OPTCG. And it somehow mixes together for a completely new kind of experience, feels like I'm learning a new type of game from scratch!

[@corvusblackfeather456]

@@rustmarrow mtg's biggest flaw is that you end up with hands that have too many or too few mana. this game solves it by making it a separate deck and only giving the player a maximum of two dons per turn. best of all, the dons can be shuffled back into the deck, and aren't color restricted. best of all, the shield/trigger system makes it so easy to track who's winning/losing without the need of a calculator. my hats off to whoever designed this system. im trying to design a card game myself, and this is a huge revelation to me. plz include one piece tcg content, the game is easy to follow.

[@ih8usernamezalot]

I was so lost on how to play the one piece card game from watching other tutorials and then I see the homie rustmarrow has a tutorial battle video. You sir are absolutely GOATED. Much appreciated, I now understand how the game is played!

[@movethat1v9]

100% same

[@Deckscavate]

Great tutorial man. Just one problem Luffy is pronounced (LooFee)

[@rustmarrow]

Yup, but the Eng dub way feels more natural to me, cos that's what I heard growing up haha

[@Deckscavate]

@@rustmarrow totally fair. I grew up reading the manga and started the anime much later. Great video nonetheless Rustmarrow.

[@dson001]

You need to make a few more of these, it explains real clearly how to play.

[@DarkGregarz]

Literally the best tutorials. I'm more of a practical type than explanation so this really did it for me

[@rustmarrow]

*IMPORTANT: Bandai just announced a rule change (16 Sep). Instead of choosing which Life to return to hand when taking damage, you go in order and always take your top Life as damage instead. First impressions: I don't have enough IQ for this game LOL. The mechanic of DON!! attachment really expands the strategic possibilities of each turn, especially with the free order of the Main Phase. For example, you could bait your opponent into letting a strong but relatively weaker attack through by attacking first, before committing all of your Active DON!! to making a second unblockable attack. And if the opponent doesn't fall for it, you can adapt to the situation by distributing your DON!! for multiple attacks OR switching attention to field presence instead (playing more Charas or knocking out your opp's Charas). So far based on my playtesting, it's felt like the 'common sense' gained from playing other TCGs doesn't always completely work in this one. Definitely going to need more time to get used to One Piece's fresh twists on the genre, but have been enjoying the game more with each match I play and genuinely excited to get better at it. Would highly recommend giving it a shot!

[@alexcaraballo3189]

The things I don't like are the comeback machanics, and the counter machanics. Your hand is the most valuable resource, that's why cards that allow you to draw from your deck are so valuable. And to discard a card for a temporary buff is just a waste, and doesn't even make sense for the One Piece universe; unlike dragonball where characters give their ki to each other to aid in battle, like against Cell, Buu, etc. I don't like the card advantage when losing life because it rewards the losing player, and they could draw into a crucial card for their strategy. Giving them the victory. It's not as hard to learn as the dbs card game, but not as awesome as the digimon tcg. I'm looking forward to your future videos for the one piece tcg though.

[@zerolifez]

​@@alexcaraballo3189 getting card while losing life makes the match more back and forth so I like it more compared to Pokemon prize card.

[@alexcaraballo3189]

I couldn’t tell but “blocking” with Usopp from hand, was that just short hand for buffing Luffy to withstand the attack?

[@jakegearhart]

Fantastic tutorial, this made everything super easy to understand.

[@rustmarrow]

Glad it helped!

[@aaronmori]

Great Tutorial! It's too bad there was no Trigger during this match up. Looking forward to the next two decks!

[@AquaZulu8947]

same I'm still confused on when triggers can be played. Is it when ever the card is picked up for example taking a hit in your life cards and when you draw one from your deck on your turn?

[@nateferguson2404]

​@@AquaZulu8947it probably doesn't matter anymore you've likely found your answer lol. At any rate though for anyone else asking the same question in the future triggers are only played when they are picked up from your health. So for example you get hit once taking 1 Damage so you pull one of your life cards and it has a trigger effect. It can be used immediately upon pulling it from life and from NOWHERE else. Trigger effects only matter when pulled from life thats why most of them have a separate effect like a normal card in addition to their trigger effect.

[@mex7037]

That is a great tutorial, i understand the game pacing better now

[@stevenlee6529]

it plays style is some what similar to dragonball

[@UltraRareONE]

I have a few questions. 1. Do you have to grab your life cards in order, top to bottom? Or you can grab any life card? I've seen everyone grabbing the life card from top to bottom? 2. Event trigger vs character trigger? If you choose to activate the event trigger do it goes into the trash? If you choose to activate the character trigger effect, does the character goes to the trash?

[@boza-fp5mw]

Really good video. Well explained, i hope you do more with different cards, explaining how to use them. Keep up the good work.

Cards with a Counter Effect (not Counter +1000) does cost any DON in enemy Phase?

[@rustmarrow]

Yes you must pay for them

[@IsaacTrumbo]

Best tutorial I’ve seen so far 🎉 .

[@JDS8515]

Question. 😃 Can you use for example a blue DON-1 effect and return a don card from your field to the don deck that was in a rested state?

[@rustmarrow]

Yes, it can even be a DON attached to your Chara that has already attacked

[@JDS8515]

@@rustmarrow great! Thank you

[@Mogelbaum591]

So if I got you right, the effect of a stage card still remains even if the card gets replaced by another stage card? In this case the same stage card..so Nami received +1000 and after the replacement of this stage card - another +1000? Further, if a character card activates its effect, the card does not get rested? Only if it attacks? Thanks

[@arifsubkhi]

DON DON! Now I'm so excited to play. Still waiting my starter deck to arrive. haha

[@tagagulas]

Can you mix up any sets of one piece as your deck? from OP01 through OP05?

[@crosskeydorado6077]

How do u know how many dons can be added to your character? Is it possible to add all 10 to any character when all dons are on the field to a single character or leader to boost their attack to the max?

[@braydenb1581]

[@d3rpyedits]

I was looking for help to play this game but I'm a visual learner so this helped a bunch! Thank you! Also shouldnt Luffy have been fine in the final turn since he had so much Don added to him? Or does that only count for attacking and not defending?

Only for attacking!

[@Digiheart400]

I can imagine the fake straw hats vs the real straw hats. As a leader card, Demaro Black would redirect enemy attacks to one of his own characters representing that he would sacrifice his own crew to save himself.

[@Reddash9]

Anyone happen to know what the theme used from 1:11 on is? Also thanks for the demonstration :D

[@xXbaker115Xx]

I remember Dule masters anime when I was a kid and only ever got into playing yugioh and saw people play magic, is every card game pretty much the se as duel masters? Vanguard, one piece, Digimon and a few others I've seen follow the same formula with maybe one or two unique gimmicks. Was dule masters the first to set this formula of tcg? I've never seen another game like yugioh and harthstone seems like a faster pace magic

[@JDS8515]

Sorry to many questions, I noticed the character cards have symbols to the right of their power level, and they will say like "special" "slash" "shoot" "strike" "ranged". What do these mean?

[@rustmarrow]

Those are each Chara's attack attributes. Normally, they don't matter much but some effects use them. For example, 2 Luffy cards cannot be KO'd in battle with Charas - since he's made of rubber

[@eriya181]

The part when the Luffy & Nami cards both had 9000 power tho like OMG 😱😱😱One Piece card game matches have the potential to get very intense

[@JDS8515]

About the second win condition, is it when the player draws their last card, or when they need to draw and cannot that the game is over?

[@rustmarrow]

When the player draws their last card, everything is stopped and that player loses

[@Rato2600]

when you have a event card that says counter, can i activate the effects of that card, without using it like a counter? for example using a card like ST03-016 Tsuri Pressure Gun C

Question. If you use an effect like the Luffy leader, does that don remain in the rested state when it's attached? or would that really even matter .

It doesn't really matter once it's attached to a Chara - it gives the +1000 and any DON effects all the same

Does zoro keep the 1000 power boost in the opponents turn if he has 1 DON!! attachted? I know the DON!! buff goes away, but he also has the effect of gaining 1000 power when DON!! is attachted.

[@rustmarrow]

Yes he does

[@NaffyFT]

12:11 but how does Luffy take damage if he has 2 Don cards wouldn't he be at 7000?

When a shield is broken does the card have to be revealed or is it added to hand, blind from opponent knowledge? This game looks like a great side game to digimon. I've missed the counter play aspect of yugioh but haven't had any motivation to play it.

It is added to the hand, blind from the opponent. You only have to reveal it if it is a Trigger and you want to activate it (Trigger effects are usually optional)
