A Closer Look at Reiju in OP08 (@ikailakai)

Reiju is a deck that feels like she should be good, but couldn’t quite become meta. When the bans were announced, some thought that this deck would be tier 0. I believe that this is largely due to the fact that Reiju as a deck has always been that 1 step away from being meta in Japan in OP08, gate...

NEW Decklists to try after OP07 Banlist - Lucci, Reiju, etc.

Intro (@Cross_Aii)Earlier this week RP Law leader & Lucci’s Ennies Lobby had OFFICIALLY been banned. Only two cards were hit, yet these changes seem to have a HUGE impact on the meta.My quick summary of the change in the meta is that the fall-off of RP Law, has led to the rise of Reiju. And the as...

PASADENALUCCI - Cross' TOP8 Deck Explanation

Intro (@Cross_Aii)Last weekend, I got another top 8!!RP Law was traumatizing me, so I decided to let Perona go after GenCon, and switched to Lucci.I always secretly thought Lucci was the strongest deck, and it absolutely overperformed for me last weekend. I beat most of my mirror matches, all of my ...

Round 8 - Sakazuki vs RP Law: Mansherry kinda lit against aggro

A Weird Sakazuki Mirror Match - PLAYTCG Round 7

What set did Gravity Blade come out in?

Round 6: Sakazuki vs Whitebeard - Complete Control

I don't stream my tournaments, so I guess the new standard will be uploading gameplay mid tournament LMAO.Against Whitebeard you want to focus more on defense than offense. Thanks to Moria & 3 Cost Brooks, it's very easy to COMPLETELY control the opponent's board.

Tournament Game of Sakazuki vs. Enel (Impossible for Enel to win)

Hi, Kai (@ikailakai) here with a new guide that maybe people weren’t expecting. Originally I wanted to do an Uta guide, as when I made the first part of the Uta guide, I mentioned wanting to make an updated version for EB01. However, it turns out that Uta essentially plays the same in EB01, so an ...

EB01 Sakazuki Update - The Best Deck in One Piece (Rough Draft)

Intro (@Cross_Aii)How are y’all doing, today we are going to be looking at Sakazuki post-EB01. Based on the current tops it seems like the deck has remained mostly the same. And I actually didn’t change my decklist at all. But after doing some more testing this week, there is a new card I’m co...
