No Va || OPTCG

The OP16 Black Yamato (aka Bamato) list I’m running. Okay. No Hakuba. Mainly because it gets rekt. I feel we need some early game removal. So, I’m running Finger Pistol Lotus because Buggy in BGLuffy and Reiju in PAnal are such menaces. The trigger is so funny, might run 4 lmao.

@ItsaMeCooper LMFAO

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Pokémon Stores in Japan to Roll Out Mandatory Facial Recognition to Block Resellers and Scalping Pokémon Stores in Japan will begin requiring facial recognition for entry and queue-ticket collection starting with the next round of pop-up locations, a sharp escalation in anti-reseller measures that mirrors the recent My Number API authentication rollout on Pokémon Center Online. From July 31 to August 16, five temporary Pokémon Card Stores will enforce the system: AEON Mall Natori, Chofu PARCO, AEON Mall Higashiura, AEON Mall Hiroshima Fuchu, and AEON Mall Chikushino. Anyone elementary-school age or older must undergo facial recognition both at the door and when receiving a queue ticket. Preschool children remain exempt but must be accompanied by a guardian. Core rules are strict and automated: • One entry and one queue ticket per person per day. • The system flags any second attempt the same day and denies access. • Temporary exits require staff notification; leaving without clearance permanently blocks re-entry that day. The stated goal is straightforward: stop unauthorized entry and duplicate purchases by professional resellers so genuine fans, especially children, can shop without being squeezed out. Official notices frame the technology as a security and fairness tool that also enforces purchase limits. Personal-data handling is referenced but not detailed in the public announcements. The move lands alongside Pokémon Center Online’s new My Number-based account verification, signaling a broader shift toward identity-locked systems across official Pokémon retail channels. Whether permanent Pokémon Centers will follow remains unconfirmed, but the direction is clear: technical barriers are replacing reliance on staff vigilance alone. Do we need the same measures overseas?

@Rascoco_ @briccbybrick It would be nice if Loki was 20c constantly.

@briccbybrick @NoVaOnePiece It doesn't. Other characters do.

oh lawd he comin'. UNBLOCKABLE CHOPPER. I see this as a 2-3 of in deck. He's not going to be attacking. But this makes 8c Luffy Rush Unblockable. There will actually be so many different ways to combo these small straw hat crew cards.

@AleMelo92 One of two hasn’t been revealed. Per their effects they play off of each other. So, cant play with the duo yet. This will enable more Elbaph synergy. It would be great if we got an Elbaph card that gives lead 7k base power

@NoVaOnePiece No dorry and brogie?

There are 2 OP17 Elbaph Luffy build types: 1.) 2c Army Toolbox (this list) 2.) Straw Hats Focused (list below) 📯📯 There's a lot of deck milling; you want to consider cards like 1c Shirahoshi or 6c SEC Luffy to not deck out. 📯📯 Get Luffy cards here: #ad partner.tcgplayer.com/MKjgDo

@Shaligost so you're going to watch the big bang theory spinoff right?

Went out to eat with my gf and there was what looked like a couple, both 40+, on a first date. Guy spent no less than 20 minutes infodumping about the new Big Bang Theory spinoff while she kept hitting the "wow that's crazy". Was surreal, there really are all kinds of people.

@Vinny_lopez89 Hell yeah they did. In this tweet I just tweeted, I go over a list that has a toolbox build with small bodies. There's also a bigger body straw hat build in that thread. I hope that there's good events so we don't need to run ground death. x.com/NoVaOnePiece/s…

@NoVaOnePiece They gave this deck all the tools

Nightmare Luffy: partner.tcgplayer.com/zzX7xx Rebecca can dig for something then play GERD for free. Then Gerd becomes a blocker and 14 cost. Then you can dig for anthing with GERD. Rebecca (Reprint): #ad partner.tcgplayer.com/qWNV2L SEC Luffy: partner.tcgplayer.com/QYe063

@Wenenuts see a video on the basics and then watch the game being played on youtube. Especially from people who explain things as they go. Download @ maebatsu 's optcg sim. Practice playing before you buy too many cards. focus on getting cards for a pre-op17 leader so it's cheaper.

Chat I’m new to One Piece TCG 😅 #OP17 The World’s Strongest Warriors is coming soon and I have no idea what I’m doing! How do you prepare? What should I buy (boxes? packs? pre-release) & what mistakes should a beginner avoid?? help a new pirate out! 🏴‍☠️ #OPTCG #ONEPIECE

@TaxiManVEVO But I feel like a good event and even a new red whitebeard searcher would be great especially if it searches luffy too like 5c Ace does. I feel like the list is still scattered and could do better with a new 8k power card with a good ability. Also something to replace ray.

@TaxiManVEVO From what I've tested, it's definitely doing better in certain ways. But, there are different versions. If the strawhat/alabasta build is the norm then yeah it is because the new marco &luffy/ace are good. vivi can actually protect luffy from being knocked out. Marco stop removal

EB03 Red Blue Vivi with Whitebeard Package. I'm hoping for more OP17 cards that advance this idea. Going to work on it more as they come out.

@TaxiManVEVO no idea what you mean. so no lol

@NoVaOnePiece Ok im going off on the biggest limb ever, but do you happen to watch iwd. The love Sosa as the deck name just has me wondering.

@elbigby @SponsorMeKFC no and I've never heard of that actually. I've heard people ask if its North Virginia. ha. My name is simply the word nova. Stellar explosion. I broke up the word in the first/last name framework to just be No Va. Sometimes I'm super so it works. (supernova joke)

@NoVaOnePiece @SponsorMeKFC Lmao is your name "No Va" in reference to cutting a card?

@Clknippen omg what a good friend!

@NoVaOnePiece I bought the Chinese one never thinking we’d get it. But thankfully a friend of mine got an email and doesn’t want it so I can get the English one too

passed out and woke up to no bandai emails gonna have to pay like 150$ just for the Yamato card partner.tcgplayer.com/oNL5a9

@reac_ts We shall see. I hope that there's an 8c 8k power reveal that is bonkers.

@NoVaOnePiece Make my queen great again

@elbigby @SponsorMeKFC Exactly. It can be played out for 6 if you’re facing the right boards.

@SponsorMeKFC @NoVaOnePiece I mean it's still a 6/12 rush on vivi

@alchemyjug I bet that's exactly what it does now that you mention it.

@NoVaOnePiece Need that chopper to cost reduction

New Elbaph Flow. 📯 New 1c Nami has draw power. Trash 1, draw 2. wow. New 2c Zoro has effective unlimited removal protection. 📯 Elbaph Luffy make a toolbox out of all the straw hats. The only one left to see is Chopper. Hopefully a 2k.

@mkujo999 It is time.

@NoVaOnePiece I'm happy I pulled the alt leader in op13 I'ma play this!!!

Red Green Luffy has been majorly buffed into Tier 1 by the new ST31 Luffy starter deck coming out soon. 🍖 Mainly the new Thousand Sunny Stage. 🍖 Get/trade for Straw Hat cards soon; they're going up. 🍖 Red & Green Straw Hat cards: #ad partner.tcgplayer.com/enB4jX
