When to counter || Masterclass guide || One Piece TCG

[@nawfhou9223]

A year later and I’m finding this video very helpful. Went from a flipping a few pieces of shiny card board to now spending part time job hours on research for this game. It definitely peaks my interest in a way similar to chess, it’s so complex!! For a guy already working 50 hrs a week with a family, I appreciate the knowledge dropped in this vid, def subbing!

[@heartpiratestcg]

That's awesome man glad this helped! Welcome to OP it's a great time

[@lildango102]

The analysis on figuring out the attacks they could do before countering is similar to figuring out every check in chess no matter how crazy it can be because it could lead to checkmate

[@DjibrilNewgard]

This channel is exactly what I was looking for, you are the most competent content provider I have seen so far, got my sub!

[@heartpiratestcg]

You are far too kind 😭

[@xTheDescendantx]

As an intermediate player, this is what i need! bro is posting fire contents every uploads! thanks for the tips

[@amatoxic1452]

a tip for op using Law, you can offer a random 1k counter and still take life to stay under 7 cards in hand and not use too many counters for a 9k swing

[@kingfallen]

Nod to the st4 Kaido. The deck feels very consistent for me. Thanks to learning so much from yourself and THE Vv theory.

[@heartpiratestcg]

Vvtheory… the GOAT! Much love bro

[@bickybong8992]

Super good value content! Love your situation analysis

[@AKi2470]

26:35 - gotta disagree... in mentioned situation you block 5k with Rebecca and they still cannot KO Borsalino through effects. This way saving this 1k counter.

[@ryan_edmond]

could you please do a video on how to use blockers, like when to swing with blockers vs when to leave them up, when to use blockers as hand counters vs when to save them to play them next turn. thanks

[@heartpiratestcg]

That might be a while but I can try

[@ryan_edmond]

@@heartpiratestcg i appreciate it, thank you

[@eyonshivraj836]

Hey man, these videos are might useful, I will consider your services once I am up to speed with all the cards again. Played a bit for OP1+2 then took a long hiatus. Lots of new stuff to adjust to, but I've always been wondering if my countering was optimal, this video boosted my confidence in that.

[@heartpiratestcg]

Thanks bro. Hit me up on discord and we can talk about it

[@alecantropo98]

Please do how to pressure next! Loved this one

[@georgegundry5451]

great video! keep up this awesome work!

[@daviddangtcg]

Thank you for the tips!!

[@heartpiratestcg]

You bet!

[@nameinator]

Well-explained and nicely accompanied with the pictures and scenarios. Just curious - what program are you using for your slides? It's very effective, and less formal than a PowerPoint!

[@chuy3412]

Great video bro!

[@heartpiratestcg]

Appreciate it!

[@Isaiah1234567890]

I baited this saka player as cora so many times last night. He had a borso and kept resting it when i attacked for 5k and i kept freezing his whole board with 10c doffy.

[@heartpiratestcg]

lol well of course you should play around stuff like that. I just mean in a vacuum

[@roderickstevn]

Love u video. I have a hard time with being consistent with Dom mapping and reading game state. Which is why I haven't one a local yet.

[@heartpiratestcg]

It takes a while to understand that but it’ll come

[@smupp6545]

Thanks for the tips, I hope you find the one piece.

[@heartpiratestcg]

I hope so too lol

[@jessesimons649]

I definitely appreciate all the work you put into your videos

[@ThorfinnDaRealGOAT]

As usual, great video! Quick question about the next meta: do you think it’s better to sell my Pluffy deck to reinvest in Yellow/Yamato? (Already have a black core so I’m set for that)

[@COOPALOOPTROOPA]

Would have been better to invest in yellow a bit earlier.

[@heartpiratestcg]

Ahh man I can’t answer that question it’s so tough

[@heraldnewserial3665]

katakuri is way better than yellow yamato here in asia, yamato is an all in deck that when the meta is prepared and aware of the deck it falls hard... yellow staples and black staples like sr moira on op06, rebecca, sabo blocker are better investments

[@scizorsky9152]

I mostly play WB, I usually take every life I can because I'm going to take them myself anyway. Now I know to counter out of purple decks if I can stay out of range of law. But do I counter any other times with WB or is that pretty much it?

[@duskytcg]

Welcome!!

[@Bair-sensei]

Good vid

[@reafdfsagassg]

thanks for the vid

[@josephuriegas742]

Can I sign up for coaching early or do I have to wait till your website is up? I’m in the discord already but didn’t see any info on signing up

[@heartpiratestcg]

Hit me up on discord my brotha. We can talk about it

[@ligadeverdadetcg]

funny... "if you have a blocker they automatically lose" me losing my blocker cause for some reason i just play against k.o decks type

[@ligadeverdadetcg]

but pretty good video, like it a lot and helped me!

[@heartpiratestcg]

I think that one was against decks w no removal but I haven’t seen this vid in a while so idk what you’re referring to lol

[@justinpuzak2558]

You don’t watch much one piece I’m guessing. Thanks for the tips.

[@heartpiratestcg]

My brotha I’m caught up on the manga

[@nickfanzo]

That poster looks mad crooked 😂

[@heartpiratestcg]

lol you’re exactly right

[@avekakristianto1314]

On your last point, if youre playing a good player, they will never swing 5k if they dont have any other plans if you choose to block. And almost everytime its worst for you to block with your 6k blockers.. If iam at 0life, 2 blockers against enel leader and yamato, i will always counter that attack.. it can be anything from enel7 rush to the worst being amaru I even thought when i see that last slide, i was nodding in agreement, it drives me nuts when people think they get a free block, but instead they just fell into a bigger trap, then you said the exact opposite🙃

[@heartpiratestcg]

I was talking about in a vacuum. No other factors in mind that is the right play. But of course it changes depending on game state

[@J-roll1]

I had a game against Enel once, we were both on the edge of losing every turn. They had went through 3 damn rush Enels that game and I had the situation of I had a open 6k blocker, and 1 card in hand, they swung 6k leader so I blocked with no counter in hand, I thought nah that 1 card cannot a 4th rush Enel, like who plays 4 and behold it was an I lost

[@avekakristianto1314]

@@heartpiratestcg because you can also take it as that a blocker is a +infinite counter, why do you want to use your +infinite counter on a 5k attack, that if your objective is just to survive one last turn (opponents final turn, before your crackback).. but of course its a case by case thing.. Im just saying if your opponent do that 5k intentionally, OP is now actually a game with enough cards to take advantage of you using that blocker 'recklessly', so as a general advice i would actually just advise the opposite and just drop a 1k

[@dannyroshi]

Your scenario doesn’t make any sense lol. You said at 0life 2 blockers and they have leader Yamato. Why would you counter??? The blocker just saved you a card. You have to block the Yamato no matter what with 0 life. So why waste a card and block leader? Are you missing something?

[@avekakristianto1314]

@@dannyroshiim talking about the scenario from the video.. If you block the 5k with borsa, then the enel player plays amaru, resting your rebecca, now you have to guard for 20k attack from the yamato Instead if you guard the 5k, he has to have 2 amaru in hand to rest both blocker, if he used amaru on one, you just block the yamato attack with the other one

[@samuelcharles5863]

For the 9c kaido example why not just block with Rebecca on 5k swing as we suspect 9c Kaido coming out and borsalino can’t be k.o. And keep 1k counter in hand. Matchup dependent of course

[@illeston3]

good players are not going to swing with leader first if theyre playing kaido, in certain situations like which he explained, its better to not give your opponent the option for the better play. Rather you take that away and KO the rebecca with kaido first, then swing with leader, and it forces them to most likely counter out the leader swing. If not and they block with borsalino, kaido is going into borsalino/10k lead just depends on whats the board state is.

[@kamikaze.33]

Bonney is only like $20 card... Sure, the treasure cup ones are super nice and make me super jelly lol, but the tournament pack winner cards aren't much of a flex tbh, especially the Bonney one...

[@heartpiratestcg]

It was like 60 last I checked. The winner nami from set 3 is also like 45$.. If you are a collector you would want these in your collection and its more cool if you win them. Im also not flexing.. I am just saying that there is a lot of money to be made in this game if you are good

[@illeston3]

youre missing the point in which hes explaining that theres profit to be made. when bonney was relevant and sought after for blinging out decks it was running $60. its since dropped because it just isnt being played.

[@JackJackedJack]

I wouldn't consider this a master class guide. This is all pretty basic knowledge. If you don't know this info by now, you just need more reps with games. I'm new to the game too and with reps I'm able to gain this info already. Just saying. I was hoping for better detail info that I might have overlooked or something interesting.

[@heartpiratestcg]

I mean this is basic for people that have been playing for a while but this information isnt really basic for a majority of people playing the game for less than 5-6 months.

[@yovarniyearwood]

God forbid someone make some helpful and insightful content that obviously can’t cater to every type of player 😂

[@JackJackedJack]

@yovarniyearwood try a different title. Master class, no thanks

[@yovarniyearwood]

@@JackJackedJack not a master class for you but a master class for other people. There’s tons of other content out there and if you feel you can make better content then you should.

[@JackJackedJack]

@yovarniyearwood yeah I'll call it master class too

[@tapinijackson6574]

I find this game still to early to coach in as decks are very inconsistent compared to say yugioh,theres no technical plays or actually in game mechanics that need teaching.

[@heartpiratestcg]

I completely disagree. There’s so much to talk about. I’ve made videos for hours in total talking about technical plays and game theory

[@nftw95]

Considering the comment you posted, you have probably only started playing or you are very green in the game. As HPTCG commented, I completely and utterly disagree, topping numerous locals and winning is not just some dumb luck, I have won my 1st anniv tournament also listening to to this man and other content creators. Managing ur resources, counters, blockers takes so much knowledge that literally one wrong move can cost you the game. It is a simple game mechanic on paper but the game is so complex when it comes to actually taking the win, that I dropped other TCGs for this one.

[@tapinijackson6574]

@@nftw95I am new but have won numerous Yugi events in my country.this game is not that complicated at all,I won my 1st tourney last last week in one piece with no training n basically my r.n.g got em😅I understand the management side of this game but U can't manage bad hands n the fact most the decks in this game has one searcher,and one Strat means it's limited as

[@yovarniyearwood]

The game itself is simple but there is a lot to be taught to both newer card game players about playing the game AND people playing the game who haven’t taken that next step yet. You can’t call the game inconsistent - a good Digimon player taught me that as I said the same thing about Vanguard, and while there is inconsistency, there’s strategy in playing around/with inconsistency and RNG.
