OP07 Off Meta Decks: Is RB Sabo The Answer To Lucci & Enel?

[@zgalahad]

So far in my experience. RB Sabo has been great at my locals. Havent lost to lucci nor BY luffy yet. But i am running a heavy black engine instead of the aggro route!

[@Manus_Factum]

This looks dope, I'm in. Besides Sabo is my favorite

[@terrydactyl6893]

Nice vid! RB sabo is one deck I’ll always try to make work. Your build is really similar to a build I would use back in 05 to beat my local sakas and enels with the straw hat engine and brook specifically putting in overtime in these matches. I’m shifting to try to build him more black than red and I’m excited for new Hina from the smoker reprint for this lead. She is hard to remove with the plus cost and gives a rested don to lead. It’s worth a shot if u enjoy the lead, but I know u lean more into the red side of a lot of ur decks

[@SirDundo]

Thank you! Haven't looked into any of the new cards coming in the reprint starters yet but will def take a look. Yeah i prioritized red because I thought sabo would struggle with black cards without a built-in cost reduction or trash ability like lucci. Curious to hear how your testing goes!

[@AkanoTCG]

Rly like this version of the deck, finaly gonna give this leader a try! good profile man 💪

[@limonxelo9694]

I really like moria on this sabo, with the 2k counter brook, you can get moria, a borsa/karasu for example, and the brook making you hitting by 7 and getting the ability in 8 don!!

[@ricardokaian2073]

Sir, I have some doubts about Arlong's deck. Is there somewhere I could ask questions?

[@SirDundo]

Feel free to reach out on discord - i'm sirdundo there as well :)

[@CatBeanxx]

Took this leader to locals this recently! But i didnt face luccis... normaly i face multiple a night but the one time i pick a counter i miss the matchup -_-

[@SirDundo]

Classic off-meta experience. Every time I change my leader to counter a popular deck it happens to me too

[@DanteIsSarathiel]

i brought a Navy Sabo list i saw on JP twitter to locals one night and the lucci matchup is very easy, it’s just a game of protect the kuzan. puts them in a very tight spot, highly recommend

[@SirDundo]

I kind of assumed that Sabo would struggle with the navy package without the built in cost reduction that other leaders have but will give it a try

[@DanteIsSarathiel]

@@SirDundo Here's the sim decklist mentioned above. 4c Kuzan and EB01 Brook are the heavy hitters here. If you can protect them, you're set.

@@SirDundo Here's the sim decklist! It's a game of trash setup and protect the Kuzan&Brook / Kuzan&Garp. You can take the first two life pretty freely.

[@natalie7767]

What are your thoughts on the 5c Hina to freeze an opponents attack? Would it be worth running over Sabo blocker? I’ve also been thinking to try the 10c Shanks that can K.O. a 10k or less to clear a kid or zoro jus to help against the Bonney matchup

[@SirDundo]

Think Sabo is definitely preferred. Very hard to beat the cycle & ko prevention against yellow & black.

[@jacksonbradley6842]

I love this leader, but gets totally dominated by rp law. If that could be solved I think it becomes incredibly strong with 5c Hina blocker.

[@SirDundo]

Yeah learned this lesson the hard way practicing last night haha. I’m trying to figure out a way to give the deck a shot in the mu because right now it seems totally one sided

[@fr3d611]

that first Enel played so bad. Using all is hand to save the Gedatsu lost him the game

[@giorgioruberto8905]

Agreed, Who cares about a gedatsu

[@J-roll1]

I'll only commit 1 counter into him or maybe 2 if I have a hand full of just counter value

[@fr3d611]

@@J-roll1 exactly. i would counter the first attack also but doing it 3 times and ending with a couple cards in hand was stupid

[@sushiface]

Enel player definitely practicing lol

[@chadmcquade3075]

Tht first enel was awful my 9 year old makes smarter plays

[@StrawhatSkinny]

I was genuinely thinking about dropping the game because I hate what Bandai has made the black color so R/B sabo is my only hope 🥹

[@SirDundo]

Well there's going to a ban announcement soon so hopefully some positive changes come from that!

[@joestar222]

Bye👋🏼
