@TrulyEruption Omg ew, who the HECK thinks dynamax is better than mega evolutions?! 🤮

Not everyones opinions deserve to be heard nor are opinions ever wrong, but these, these are wrong 100% of the time

@TrulyEruption I’m gonna be a fiend for a new tag team set, my god.

This being something we might be getting right before rotation next year is whats gonna suck because what if this was the only thing that couldve shook up the meta this year?

Love Island is going to hit so hard tonight knowing I don’t have to work tomorrow 🍿

@hottodoggu____ Computa ban this guy

I genuinely dont like this card being BDIF i liked last format where i was the only one at locals using pult and everyone just played something strong into it like gardy, dengo, Gr**msnarl, Zoro absol, and it just still wiggled around in the match ups and had good games vs them

Got the some of the best fucking news at work and you may as well change my name to Altaria the way I’m floating on air.

@AlbertoContiTCG Truthfully I can’t wait for all these discussions on the tech cards in Pult to stop. The power creep needed to be solved and this is an effective way to do it. If that means people leave the game for a bit then so be it - I, for one, am not too keen on fighting RK9 for a spot lol

After playing a bit with Pitch Black, I have to say I really dislike the design of these cards. They feel like very straightforward strategies and leave almost no room for player agency.

ptcg community mass psychosis with this ditto card, anyone who thinks this thing will ever be competitively viable does not understand the game I fear. People jump at effects that are novel and call them broken so fast. 2 energy AND a coinflip is meme status it’s that simple guys

Carls lack of self respect by giving Aniya the time of day got me tweaking

@TrulyEruption Oh, let’s just say I’m not new to this haha.

@hottodoggu____ Tony, what you know about love Island

This episode of Love Island has me stressing out, my god.

@ShmloodTCG @FamousCyy

Do y’all see it? 👀

Bring back my distinguished gentleman. We need more fun poison decks.

@FamousCyy You’ve always got the formal request to my heart 🫂

Season recap :) This isn't to put down anyone who got their invite. Y'all earned it one way or another. This is for me and my feelings on this past season, what's to come next season, and my place in all of it

@maebatsu Yeah, same honestly. At this point I’m ready to become part of the problem lol.

Okay you win Bandai, I'll bot the next one

Instead I literally get an IM saying I get to do my coworkers job for the next few weeks bc my boss “can’t keep up by herself.” Girl - I got bad fucking news: none of us have been keeping up. Why tf do you get any extra help?

11 years at my current job and not so much as a “thanks for sticking around” email from the boss. Gotta love it.

@DragoATX I may be naive but what’s to stop you from just making another account with a surname and playing that way? Other than people being narcs, or the person in question being too big to effectively blend into a crowd of players, I can’t see Bandai being able to keep up lol.

I received a ban from competitive One Piece events in April 2025 for playing under a different account at a store event in San Antonio. My friend got into the event that I was waitlisted for but he ended up not being able to play and asked if I wanted to play on his account to skip the potential waitlist and I naively and regrettably said yes. I got reported for doing so after the event. and the penalty was a permanent, no-appeal ban. I fully accept the punishment of my wrongdoing, but have reached out in hopes of getting the ban overturned after some time or working on a path to reinstatement. Sadly despite my efforts, there has been little to no communication on the possibility. Many community members have advocated on my behalf, submitting contact forms to organizers about the situation and asking them to reconsider. They stated that despite the ban, I am still heavily involved in the OPTCG community. I regularly attend events, teach new players, and create content (youtube videos, guides, a OPTCG podcast) that supports the continued growth of the competitive scene, but they all have also been met with no response. You may ask, “Drago, didn’t you play at Nats 1 and Miami?” I did! Here's the story on that. I kept receiving notifications about using my Nationals invite, so I assumed I’d either been unbanned or that the ban had never been fully entered into the system. Since BOP had not responded to my emails since April, I reached out to Cardass instead. The first screenshot shows the response I received. After that, I attended Nationals and finished Top 64 without any issues about my eligibility. I went on to compete in online Regionals, finished Top 4 in Miami, and still no concerns were brought to my attention. Then, on the Friday before the Fort Worth Regional in December, they finally contacted me. They told me that I was still banned, and that the ban had not been properly applied due to an administrative error. At that point, I had already traveled there for the event and booked my accommodations. To clarify, I never had any intention of trying to circumvent my ban from official One Piece competitive events but the timing and notices about Nationals led me to believe I was in the clear. It's been an awesome ride competing in OPTCG, and I am so grateful for the friends I’ve made around the globe and the places I got to visit. I will never fully disappear because I love One Piece and I LOVE OPTCG, but I simply can’t hide this secret forever. I am beyond grateful I was given permission by @PlayTCGOfficial to attend Red Bull Double Don Finals as a spectator to have the chance to watch all the amazing friends I've made in the scene play and feel the energy of a competitive event that I miss so dearly. Hopefully I can go to future events as a spectator only so I can support my friends and see the game I've come to love so much. I made a video with more specifics and will link it below. I want to end off by saying that I 100% take accountability for the mistake I made and understand the responsibility that Bandai / BOP / Play has in maintaining integrity.

Being cultured and shit 🍿
