2nd Anniversary Stuff, All SR Revealed for new ST decks, OP09 Booster Reveal and Many More..


Lots of information about the new stuffs, so I will split this in sections, firstly, I'll be talking about the 2nd Anniversary Box, and it looks cool. Not only, you get a mat and sleeves, but you also get a deck box, dice and a storage box, along with some cards. I'm guessing those cards are 1 copy each as they are mostly collector items rather than us players. I do want this 2nd Anniversary stuff since there's a whole set of stuff you can get minus the cards. But obviously the price will not be cheap, and I don't know if the English P-Bandai will be around this price, it might be more expensive, so I wouldn't both about converting Yen to the currency you use to order stuff from P-Bandai. 

The cards are mainly the same art with a different background. For me it's meh, but maybe collectors are interested. I am not too interested in the cards themselves unlike the accessories you can get in the 2nd Anniversary Set.

Edward Newgate

Red Character

7 Cost / 8000 Power (Special)

The Four Emperors / Whitebeard Pirates

[On Play] Give up to 1 rested DON!! card to your Leader or 1 of your Characters.
[Activate: Main] You may rest this Character: KO up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters with 5000 power or less.


Uta

Green Character

4 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)

FILM

[Blocker] 
[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] You may trash 1 {FILM} type card from your hand: 
Give up to 1 rested DON!! card to your Leader or 1 of your Characters.


Trafalgar Law

Blue Character

4 Cost / 5000 Power (Slash)

The Seven Warlords of the Sea / Heart Pirates

[Counter +1000]

[On Play] You may return 1 of your Characters to the owner’s hand: If your Leader has the {The Seven Warlords of the Sea} type, return up to 1 Character with a cost of 4 or less to the owner’s hand.


I found it funny how Uta and Whitebeard have similar effects where we could make use of the rested DON cards. But the 7 drop Whitebeard also let you KO Characters which is nice to have. Law on the other hand can be used for both Doffy and Hancock build as the effect will trigger nicely for both of those decks.


Zoro-Juurou

Purple Character

4 Cost / 6000 Power (Slash)

Straw Hat Crew

[On Play] Look at 5 cards from top of your deck, reveal up to 1 purple {Straw Hat Crew} type card and put it into your hand. Then, place the rest of the cards on the bottom of your deck in any order.


Hina

Black Character

4 Cost / 6000 Power (Special)

Navy

[DON!!x1] [Opponent's Turn] This Character gains +4 cost.
[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] You may place 1 card from your trash at the bottom of your deck: Give up to 1 rested DON!! card to your Leader or 1 of your Characters.


Katakuri

Yellow Character

5 Cost / 6000 Power (Strike)

Big Mom Pirates

[Counter +1000]

[Blocker] 
[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] You may turn 1 card from top of your Life cards face up: Give up to 1 rested DON!! card to your Leader or 1 of your Characters.


It seems Bandai gotten lazy and decided to give the same effects to most of the SR cards for different ST decks. I'm not saying it's a bad thing as some decks can make use of the extra DONs so we could trigger their effects, but I was hoping something different, more unique to their colours. Anyway Zorojuro is a 4 drop searcher, but unfortunately, only looks for purple Straw Hats, however, we can mix this with Nami searcher from red, so we could increase the chances of searching out specific Straw Hats with ease. Hina is a increase cost Character, this might be a good thing to trigger certain card's effects who need high cost on the field, and Katakuri is just a 6k Blocker. I wouldn't worry too much about turning Life face up as some cards will let you swap face up cards with cards from your hand, so it is  not too bad at all.


Sanji

Red Leader 

5 Life / 5000 Power (Strike)

Straw Hat Crew

[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] Up to 1 of your Characters with a cost of 8 or less without an [On Play] effect gains <Rush> until the end of this turn.


Interesting, I thought we would be getting all reprint cards, but looks like we also get new Leaders. Well Sanji doesn't do much except, we can make a Rush build with a bit of Vanilla cards so we can go aggressive as soon as possible. I might have some ideas how to build this deck, well 2 type of builds, either using low cost Rush, or vanilla Rush build. Can't wait to try it out and see which version works better, but most likely I will just post 2 type of build for Sanji Leader.

OP09 Image is revealed and looks like it will all about the New Emperors. Does that mean we can build Buggy deck? The true Pirate King. Well I'll be looking forward to this, but most likely I'll be skipping this set as I'm aiming for some very specific builds I want in the game. But I'll check out the new cards to see if they work with any of the old builds.


Lim

Green/Purple Leader 

4 Life / 5000 Power (Wisdom)

Odyssey

Your Characters enter plays rested.

[Activate: Main] [Once per turn] You may rest 3 of your DON!! cards: Add up to 1 DON!! card from your DON!! deck and rest it. Then, play up to 1 {Odyssey} type Character with a cost of 5 or less from your hand.


I didn't expect they would make Lim considering she's from the One Piece Game and we still have plenty of Characters who could be a Leader. Reading the effect, I am serious confused as the Characters we played becomes rested, so your opponents can attack those Characters with ease. The only way to solve that problem is that the new Odyssey cards can utilise that rested and becomes untap. We also got a ramp effect, but you need 3 DONs to work with the ability to play Odyssey Character for free. Now at the moment, I need to see what the rest of the Characters do to determine Lim potential as a deck.

One Piece Odyssey is coming out on Switch which seems very late since we've already got this for PC and PS users. But I guess what we don't have is the promos cards that comes with the game. I wish Bandai have done this for the previous games, but I don't know how they would send the cards for PC users.

Lim

Green Character

2 Cost / 0 Power (Wisdom)

ODYSSEY

[Counter +1000]

<Blocker>

[End of Your Turn] If you have 2 or more {ODYSSEY} type rested Characters, set this Character as active.


Adio

Green Character

4 Cost / 5000 Power (Ranged)

ODYSSEY

[Counter +2000]

If you have 2 or more {ODYSSEY} type rested Characters, this Character gains +1000 power.

I'm liking the new sleeves especially Marco. I might get my hand on both Marco and Sanji sleeves when they come out in English. But hopefully I will have enough One Piece sleeves for my decks, if not I'll also get King. It's just Bonney sleeves I kinda dislike out of all 4 of them, the other 3s have some nice art, whilst Bonney sleeves reminds me of Buddha.
