I didn't even think about that at the time but you're totally right! Thanks for the advice. Honestly I don't run into Yamato much recently on sim and completely forgot they have access to Hody now. I'll definitely be more careful in the future! Thanks again!

@anthonyjames8962 hahaha 100%! That's why I kept taking life cause I was trying to dig something up to finish it sooner. Got kind of lucky but the rules for beating him still apply.

Absolutely! Or 2 sanjis and the 2 law blockers. Then you keep the blocker ratio the same. Up to you depending on how either your ramp or defense is feeling.

Hey thank you very much I really appreciate that! Definitely stay tuned for Enel and also Lucci. Honestly with the sim the way it is right now I have a hard time finding those matchups in particular but I will keep hunting! What's funny is today I have a video releasing about why to run Ace but the fact that you already did shows that are definitely a man of class and sophistication! I'd be curious to see what you think about my reasoning!

@@ZaGalaxy To play the game? I use the One Piece sim. I have the link in the descriptions of all the videos if you want to play it!

@@thegoldstandardtcg oh ok tysm

@ZaGalaxy absolutely my guy! Feel free to shoot me any questions! There are a ton of videos on how to set it up. It's a little weird but once you get it it's super fun!

@@thegoldstandardtcg is there a specific video i can watch to set it up? I dont want to try without knowing what can happen. So can i just search up how to set up op sim and it pops up?(mb for typing a lot)

@@ZaGalaxy here's a quick short about it. There's a thing that can happen where it says you have reached the download limit and you can search the way around it if you need. czcams.com/users/shortslt48qw5VpXY?si=yWdzS-bVgvd7hd24

and got lucky with the k&K 1 match...

@davidchoy5146 I def got a lucky draw there! I'm actually putting up another video with this deck specifically tomorrow but yeah I think it works great! I def think you could swap the Aces with something that you might like more but other than that it works great!

Bro preach! I was waiting for that or the unblockable luffy at any moment!

@@thegoldstandardtcg I was scared for you haha

@binuaz32 I legitimately feel like RP Luffy and Whitebeard are two of the hardest matchups for Law and it's partially because of that problem!

Those losses definitely check out! Yellow is tough especially if they get lucky on life and boas removal triggers are a menace! You gonna play it again?

@@thegoldstandardtcg yeah it was a blast :) and with my local community they even gave me some pointers to help with my deck build n some tips on what to look out for in my matches 10/10 havent had this much fun with a TCG sense 8wack in mtg was strong

@@Feebletrash101 Man I love to hear that! That's why I personally love One Piece! I think the community is absolutely amazing! Everyone is so supportive of each other and I'm glad you're experiencing it!

Thanks for reaching out but I think your comment is a little misplaced. This list is from a little mini series I'm doing on building a Bonney deck. I talk about it in the first video here: czcams.com/video/B0cVhIiusE0/video.html but I'm testing multiple different Bonney lines of play in the same deck to decide which I want to use in the final build. I don't completely agree with your take on the necessary cards but that's neither here nor there since really that's not what this particular video is about. However what is relevant is that while I was play testing this deck I started to notice key strategy points for different leaders. This video as the title explains is how to beat Enel. It has nothing to do with the deck list. And as your only real complaint in this regard is about the 8 drop kid being returned to life by Katakuri I can only assume you agree with the other strategy points in this video. Which I can only further imply as this video being a success since it sounds like you agree with most of it? Am I getting this wrong? As far as your deck suggestions thank you for the tips I appreciate them and will definitely consider them in the final build! Oh also it seemed like you were wondering how this deck does against law which is actually another leader I made a video about here: czcams.com/video/j-HcFRnwR0w/video.html because I ran into it often enough. The deck holds up really well actually surprising even myself. Anyway I hope this clears up any confusion you may have had and again thanks for watching and taking the time to reach out!

@@thegoldstandardtcg hey, sorry if my comment came off as passive agressive, at the end of the day im just another guy enjoying this tcg and having his own opinions... for the rest of the strategy I have found in the enel matchup that all that counts is having a card advantage in hand. so I like starving enel players regardless of their playstyle and just playing hawkins (that cannot be removed) and essentially skipping turns if necessary. for my high drops, the first one i play out in an enel matchup is a 10c doffy most of the time regardless of what their boardstate is (of course before playing anything in this matchup you will have to make sure it can not be k.od by yamato/gedatsu). after developing that body (that they also cannot remove without raigo for a -3 life) you can start swinging into their board using hody and gain an even bigger card advantage. once they start trading back you can start chaining doffys (which is also the reason why it is hard for them to trade back into board). this is another reason why i think the baby 5 searcher is so valuable btw

Bro first of thanks for the apology I am super impressed anyone on the internet actually bothered to say. Second I was definitely a little sarcastic in mine back so I apologize for that. As far as your strategy against Enel I love some of the points you made in there! I still have trouble justifying the baby 5 searcher because really all it's looking for are those 10c doffys and feel like I draw into them pretty consistently. I do love the idea of using Hody to rest board after establishing a 10 drop especially if they are starving me. I also 100% agree that I want to run more Hodys and Basils they are essential to Bonney. In all honesty though Enel isn't the problem for Bonney I feel like it's a pretty decent matchup. The one that is brutal is any blue that runs grav blade and red roc mainly boa and obviously Lucci. Got any hot tips for either of those matchups? I like the way you think!

@@thegoldstandardtcgthese matchups are the ones I am struggling with the most right now as well. as for blue i pretty much have no experience playing against them since blue is very lightly represented in my local meta and none of my friends play blue, so sadly no tech for that. For Lucci i have yet to figure out the matchup in its entirety but hawkins is insane since it can stick (unless they play the finger pistol event) and remove 1 body per turn / pressure life. what you have to realize in this matchup is that their ressources are limited and their hand often hurts them countering out with. So really you win this matchup by stacking hawkins, playing highdrop after highdrop, swinging at their life aggressively whenever the boardstate allows for it and generating the biggest possible handsize advantage. In the end of a lot of my games against lucci it comes down to a flip with hody though, which i dislike a lot. We'll see maybe there is tech i dont know of that makes this matchup easier

@zomlim4331 hahaha bro this is my exact thing with Lucci. I feel like I have to just get them close and then hody but it's not consistent at all and I hate relying on luck! Thanks for taking the time to spell it out some. We'll have to continue the fight as non Lucci players!

Hahaha I completely agree! I try not to talk to much crap in locals about yellow because a lot of people play it but yeah so many wins come from pure luck!

Bro thank you for the tip! I love Marco but yes I agree that curve is too slow and I took break to focus on OP07 stuff for a while. I'll 100% try this out soon though! I want to get a lot more reps in with Marco! Thanks again!

Thanks for the tip! Honestly when I rewatched it to edit it I was pretty impressed with how much I misordered the end there! Oh well! Appreciate the feedback I really do and thanks for watching and commenting!

I personally don't use it because I find it a little clunky. I almost never use the baby 5 searchers I have in this build and recently I tried to swap in the 5c Bonney that freezes stuff. I've seen some high level players post their decklists with baby 5 but I can't get it to work with my play style!

Hey thank you very much! I'm glad this was helpful!

You're welcome! And thank you! I'm glad it helped!

Although they played rested they still do their job as people will have to swing on them or deal with them next turn

Ooooo clever I like that! I never even considered running fukurou!

@@thegoldstandardtcg yeah he’s a little Borsalino 😂

@welshspartan725 exactly! Bro I love it I'll def try it out!

Honestly it's a great card and I had it in an earlier version of the deck. For me I felt that it's usefulness falls off quickly through. Because you either play it on your 5 don turn or your 8 don turn with Rosi. After that you're at the 10 don turn and start dropping Doffys. In this current build it feels like it doesn't fit either the pace of the deck or my play style. Again though it's a great card and I'll probably experiment with playing like 2 of them in the future!

@@thegoldstandardtcg If i would like to play them in your current deck? which would you replace then?

​@Niqeth honestly I almost never use the baby 5 searchers and since they're both 1k counters I think you could swap two in there pretty easily. Also I totally forgot that she keeps a don rested too and now I'm rethinking her usefulness! Thanks for asking this. Now I'll definitely try her out in an updated version of this build!

@releasetheyon Which cards specifically that are popular right now do you feel that having the extra -1 for removal is important? I was trying out Tsuru on this build specifically to have more 2k counters. I have some more future experiments in mind for this deck and will probably split it at 2 of each Tsuru and Helmeppo to see how that feels though.

@@thegoldstandardtcg if you remove one Sabo and 1 Tsuru and put in 2 Helmeppo, youre removal rate increases. You can get rid of Pesky 6c Boa or a 5c Blocker Kid. You would meed to waste a few more resources to get rid of stuff like that without the Helmeppos.

@releasetheyon ahhhh I see that's very clever! Thank you. What about this thought also. I want to put in hogback to recycle Gecko. I would drop Issho and something else. Thoughts?

@@thegoldstandardtcg I see a lot of cheeky players doing the hogback since the Gecko has a high getting mill'd rate. I think itnwouldnt be a bad addition tbh.

@@releasetheyon yeah I feel like I always mill gecko! Thanks for your input I'm excited to put it in action in my updated lucci build!

@Quocward Hey that's awesome I really appreciate the comment! Keep me posted on how you're liking each one and if you have questions feel free to reach out to me or any other content creator you resonate with. In my experience everyone in this community in particular is super friendly and helpful!

@@thegoldstandardtcg will do! I’ve subbed so I’ll keep an eye on the new content

@@Quocward thank you! I really appreciate that!!

Thanks for the tip! I've learned this the hard way several times recently and I still do it out of order sometimes!

Thank you for watching all that! I've actually updated this deck a little since that video. I think it's more streamlined now and I'll make a video about soon. But yeah I made a good number of errors in this video and no I didn't play Lucci because of trash. I simply did the math wrong in my head there cause I was in a hurry! I really thought for aome reason I was only getting kid down to 3! Thanks for pointing that out though it does help!

Running more Hodys is solid but I'm seeing way more people understanding how to play against Hawkins! I used to ruin people with that card!

@@FirstNameFakeLastNameFake I honestly think it's more popular than ever!

stupid question

@EarlJustinSM definitely is but engagement is engagement! The ironic part is that him writing that gets this video in front of more people!

No, they don't. Every LGS by me stopped playing it bc of bad management by Bandai.

@Ummmm-fx8gc that's unfortunate because most cities I go to I still see massive one piece nights!

Hahaha touché good sir!

@@thegoldstandardtcg can also run a zombie 5cost luffy but it’s not an onplay but is a 1k counter 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah I was just talking to someone else about this but I feel that the zombie luffy isn't as good and running both is just over kill! Do you run both?

@@thegoldstandardtcg nah I run 2 of the brooks they double up for nami players XD got nice recycle with gecko Rebecca spandine and a hogback so never a problem getting anything back 🤙🏼

@welshspartan725 nice yeah that's absolutely the ratio I would agrue for. Also hogback is an underutilized card for most Lucci players right now so I see you are definitely a man of class and sophistication!

Hey I really appreciate this! It means a lot to hear! I'm working on a how to play Bonney video right now and this comment helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel!

@TheDJTator I've already been playing with the changes so I'll post it this weekend most likely!

@stanl3ydagamer I just started using kid in my Bonney 3.0 build and I love it! Which order do you typically play them in? I know it's situational but do you play zoro first and kid second usually?

@@thegoldstandardtcg the way I do it is I play kid the turn before and protect him. This will probably get rid of all my blockers to keep him up. Then following turn. If I got enough life to take life hits, I wont attack with kid and play zoro out. Should have 1 don up to stop one of his attacks with bonney’s ability. And protect from what ever hits you got. Following turn after that. If they got a gripped up hand you attack board with zoro. If their hand isn’t big swing big with zoro for the win… but youre attacking with zoro last. You attack lead, then kid then zoro with 3 don up to use his ability. If you have to attack board. Use his when attack to attack board twice and use the last one to restand him and keep him out of harms way. Set up another rosi blocker with kid’s ability and probably another block like hawkins or erouge. Erouge is nice cause you get that 1 don active.

@stanl3ydagamer Thanks for taking to time to walk me through that. I want zoro to work so bad because the card is insane! I'll try something like this now!

I know bro I really tried! I ran into one Lucci making this and he quit out instantly! Even now I'm filming the third part and still have the tech in the deck but haven't seen any Luccis. I was hoping if I put it up at least it's out there for people to try!

@@thegoldstandardtcg no worries!

I'm hoping when the sim switches to having 07 in the west that I'll run into it more often but who knows when that will be! I'll keep trying though! Thanks for watching!

@richardshiflett5181 why do you like 4 of them exactly? I feel like it's very hard to get that card down and keep it on the board for even a single turn! How do you get it down and keep it?

@@thegoldstandardtcg 4 is dead, 1 is fine, 2 is probably good if you don't like 1 ofs. Zoro is only for Mirror, nami

@@Yumilicious that's definitely how I feel about it!

Those can definitely be tough match ups! Right now the sim is in a weird place where both OP7 and OP8 are being played in the Eastern part so it's hard to find these match ups. I'm going to do a follow up video at some point with my new updated deck but in the meantime I have RP Law gameplays a least in these two videos. Thanks for watching! czcams.com/video/829NHv5oD34/video.html czcams.com/video/55A6VgMhHhg/video.html

What about it specifically?

That can be tough if they draw into lots of the kid brothers but the general concept to beat luffy goes like this. Because he does a lit of the work for you taking his own life to get his ability online you really only need one sometimes two really good attacks to go through end game. So knowing this you need to set the stage by forcing counter out of their hand. Issho can do this but a really effective way I've found is attack into their board on things you know you'll remove anyway. A lot of the time they'll pitch counter to save it out of habit and then they have less to save themselves late game. If you can starve them in anyway that helps too and then finally use your blockers effectively! I hope this helps and when I run into more of these popular decks I'll make another video!

@@thegoldstandardtcg I saw people teching in brook and zombie luffy for this match up

I think the zombie luffy is a bit much but the brook is a decent choice if you know you're gonna run into a lot of Luffys at locals. If there aren't a lot of people playing it though I wouldn't tailor the deck towards that too much because another big problem luffy has is that it bricks fairly often. It really needs specific cards to function a full strength!

@@thegoldstandardtcg issho is the best bet. 5c luffy sucks since it needs so many things to also go your way in that matchup. and a good BY luffy player will likely just remove it anyways

@rileyethier1626 Hey I am going to do a follow up video here in a few days about my recent deck changes because it's a little different from this one. I like Stussy a lot though and in particular against Enel or even Katakuri for getting rid of some of their top end. You could definitely get away with running only one though as she is super situational. When people lose their 10 drops immediately after playing them they lose momentum almost instantly!

@@thegoldstandardtcg that’s an awesome point! I appreciate it man :D

@rileyethier1626 absolutely! Thanks for reaching out!

@joaoamaral1629 bro you're absolutely right! Thanks for pointing that out!

@@thegoldstandardtcg ur welcome keep posting videos my man , great to watch

@joaoamaral1629 thank you for the support bro!

I think it depends on your local scene a little bit. If there are a lot of other Lucci players you could sub in the 7c Jack depending which set you're playing in. But another that I am playing with right now someone pointed out in here is the 5c hogback to recycle Moria.

It really is! It never gets old!

Wow you are totally right! For some reason I thought I only got it down to a 3 cost! Thanks for pointing that out very helpful and also thanks for including the time stamp!

Now that you point that out I don't even think that's lowkey! I'm gonna have to try that! Thanks for the tip!

Bro *faceplam* thanks for pointing that out! I seriously need people to point that stuff out because I miss it all the time! Especially with leaders like this that I don't play often! I'm trying to get better and this really does help so thanks for taking the time to watch!

I completely agree! Marco is so close to being amazing but you kind of have to high roll! When he's cookin' though it's a blast! I'm hoping he gets more support in the future!

Right?! I don't understand why no one is running him! I almost never see him in the mirror!

How many do you play? I'm so stuck on ratio of cards at the moment

@TCGtakeaway right now I'm rolling 3 of them which I think is plenty!

@@thegoldstandardtcg I'll try that thanks

@@TCGtakeaway also run 3, but I also don't run stage

Yes Borso for the mirror is absolutely necessary now! I don't know why no one is running it! Sabo you could go to 3 and probably still be fine. Rebecca you absolutely need 4 of! I feel like the best you could get it down to is 8 instead of 9.

@@thegoldstandardtcg been trying 3 rebecca and it seems fine. She isn't great into law and BY luffy which are more popular matchups

@PikaThePokePimp true she's basically useless against RP law! I think that yes it depends on what you see in locals or wherever you're playing most most. 3 is probably fine but what are you replacing her with? More 2ks?

@@thegoldstandardtcg 9 blockers, 10 2ks nothing special, just that you only need 1 in trash to get the engine rolling.

@PikaThePokePimp True. I also do like using her to get Kakus back sometimes which is why I like to draw into two most games but honestly the more I think about it 3 is plenty.

I definitely feel like Issho you could cut without a second thought. I honestly have him because I think the card art looks cool and I'm just trying to make him work somewhere! You could also cut Stussy to one and probably be fine but I have won several games dropping Stussy to remove 10 drop Kaidos and Doffys. Also she is clutch against Enel! 4 Geckos and 2 Sabos are must haves though!

Ooo nice I like that line a lot. Thanks for the critique! I get so fixated on using Spandine in the gecko combo I forgot to use him in other ways!
