Starter Deck Doflamingo Upgrade Guide! - One Piece TCG

[@Ztuu]

This is honestly a great video format, really useful to new and experienced players. Having 3 tiers is great to see how to progressively build the deck. Thanks!

[@pokefan05]

As a new player, this is really useful! I also really appreciate the different levels as someone who doesn't like dropping huge amounts of money on a game I'm just getting in to.

[@yewbum]

picked up ST17 a while ago because i wanted to get back into a TCG i played lots of Yugioh as a kid, now I just need to learn OP it looks so fun

[@JoyBoysTCG]

I was original a Yugioh player back in the day and I've found a LOT of yugioh players both current and former flocking to OPTCG. So sure you'll enjoy it!!

[@mohitjaswal401]

Great work guys. I just started learning about the TCG this weekend, your channel has helped tremendously to pick my first deck. Here's hoping both one piece and your channel continue to grow!

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Thats awesome! Super happy we've been able to help you get started :D 100 YEARS OPTCG!

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Apologies in advance, we had some scheduling conflicts arise where we still need some of the earlier guides recorded, so they'll be coming in a random order rather than numerically rather than how we stated all the previous one are currently out

[@KingR098]

I love the formats, I'd appreciate also seeing general price list / range for the different levels. Of course it'll vary by region, but it would be nice to have a ballpark idea. Or a TCGPlayer list of the cards that would not be there from two Doffy decks

[@JoyBoysTCG]

The problem is we script this at least 2 weeks before it comes out. Typically script, shoot. Few days after that's done, then edit. Upload it up to 2 weeks early for members, then go public, so the pricing would be all over the place. And that's before you account for new set/new starter deck specific cards that have no pricing at time of writing

[@Mintyburst]

thanks, this video helped a lot because i just picked this up!!! I usually play pokemon but i wanted to branch out and try OPTCG

[@JoyBoysTCG]

That's awesome! Hope you've been enjoying yourself, definitely a great deck to start with

[@jonsnow9700]

Great assistance with deck building!

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Glad it helped

[@GR8NE55]

I really like your videos, especially the starter deck upgrade guides. About this deck specifically, I will say that I absolutely hate the 4c 6k Gecko in any 7W deck, much less the top end ones. It adds nothing to the deck when there are so many better 4c 7W cards that can actually do something for you. I saw that card in every list you showed and I was banging my fist on the table screaming why at my phone. At Level 1, it's definitely a good card, but once you move away from that, it should be one of the first things cut.

[@JoyBoysTCG]

So the reason we have them all levels at minimum is just because they're easy for someone learning the deck to execute and gain value simply because its difficult to clear (especially early game) due to its 6k base. I think a lot of the other toolset cards of this deck are very high skill cap and take a understanding of the larger field rather than just your own deck to figure out. So in terms of pitching it to someone new whos just focused on learning this deck, I think it's fine at all levels. Then like we reiterate, adjust ratios as you learn the basics and use your knowledge to build from there.

[@papafouplays2991]

was waiting for that video! thanks!

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Hope it was worth the wait! More ST guides going public these next two weeks with members having early access :D

[@wimmiebear]

Thanks for this video :3!

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Thanks for watching :3

[@thejoshrules4417]

I appreciate the guide! :)

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Hope it helps!

[@CGAficionado]

Ah yes the new number 1 deck

[@JoyBoysTCG]

praise be our lord and savor doflamingo

[@jamespeterson4047]

having a link for the deck lists would be great instead of having to pause the video on that section.

[@JoyBoysTCG]

We'll be doing so moving forward

[@AgentRaniel07]

Will you make just like this video for katakuri(st-20) and whitebeard(st-15) decks? because we will this kind of vid that are really helpfull❤

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Yup we'll have one for all of them unfortunately just out of order due to scheduling conflicts..Whitebeard is being shot tonight and Kata was just uploaded for members today!

[@AgentRaniel07]

@@JoyBoysTCG woaahh this really deserve a SUB for this one...A BIG Thank you JoyBoys:)❤️🔥

[@nicolasgarridosureda7213]

Great video

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Thanks!

[@kainamba8079]

Honestly just buy 2 sets of the starter deck then get the jinbe and weevil and you will be good

[@Sorenno]

Do i understand this right Gravity Blade can remove played charakter from your oponents board? thats nasty

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Yup you select two characters cost 6 or less they have and place them on the bottom of your opponent's deck

[@johnmcclure5051]

Does anyone know if Trafalgar can bounce himself with the on play ability and then bounce an opponents creature

[@JoyBoysTCG]

it can!

[@TrueBlueAndrew]

So I’m a bit confused by the crocodile wording. Is it reveal one card and then draw two cards including the one that was revealed?

[@JoyBoysTCG]

correct! when the card is revealed its still ontop of the deck. so itll be the first card of the 2 drawn

[@JustLycan00]

Should I buy 2 starter decks or just 1 is good?

[@JoyBoysTCG]

You're going to want 4 copies of the new boa, law and buggy. So at least one and that whatever is easier whether it's buying or trading for the extra two individually or buying a second copy to get your playsets

[@TheReaper7074]

so how many dons are needed for the leader skill

[@JoyBoysTCG]

3 total..you must have 2 don attached when attacking and then pay an active don

[@BlakeyyGames]

Is there a list of cards for each level instead of just a picture for people who are new to the game?

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Working on that for future videos, but all the cards in the deck list are mentioned and discussed by name in the video. So if you're unsure what a card is, we already talked about it and you can skip back if needed. Will never be a card In the deck that we didn't highlight individually.

[@BlakeyyGames]

@@JoyBoysTCG ah super. Yeah it was just more of being able to copy across but can just note down from the video for sure. Thanks for the reply my man

[@JoyBoysTCG]

@@BlakeyyGames totally! We've got a lot of feedback about that and will be updating these soon with them and doing them moving forward. Check back tomorrow if anything and they should be in the description

[@iDanielSalmeron]

It’s out already?

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Friday!

[@Thunfischmayo]

I think you forgot Jozu.

[@JoyBoysTCG]

nope it just doesn't really drive the overall deckbuilding of the deck as 1 of or even 2 of for those that play 2. The card is easily inserted without a skew on how the deck looks to be built or operated and is even being moved away from so it didn't see as important for foundational learning as focusing on streamlining the leader ability package and then talking about endgame defining setups with cards like Borsalino, Kaido and Boa.

[@SebastienLang72]

I live in a big Canadian city... No new starter decks anywhere to be seen at any store. Bandai again not sending anything to their canadian partners. I quit! Hopefully WotC will send alot the the new Final Fantasy in June 2025.

[@JoyBoysTCG]

Sorry to hear that man :/ Did you talk to your store owners like did they all just get none? Did bandai cut them? Seems weird that there's "none" and no source as to why. For reference we're in LA and even our smaller stores got 2 cases of each

[@SebastienLang72]

@@JoyBoysTCG One store told me they had to order 6 months ago and they missed the cutoff date. The other two stores only received half of what they pre-ordered.
