Its recent hot streak across tournaments around the world have put it in the position where it&#8217;s close to being the consensus pick as the current most dominant deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A core part of the deck&#8217;s strategy involves the use of the promotional Gordon card as well as the Raise Max card from Wings of the Captain [OP-06]; both cards reduce the power of an opponent&#8217;s Character by 3000 during that turn. Following this, the player can use the deck&#8217;s Leader card, the Trafalgar Law card from The Three Captains [ST-10], to place the newly-depowered opposing Character at the bottom of the opponent&#8217;s deck before the player plays a Character card with a cost of 4 or less from the hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this deck burns through DON!! cards fairly rapidly, it&#8217;ll also be helpful to play the Mr. 2 Bon Clay (Bentham) card from the Extra Booster Memorial Collection [EB-01] and the Ain card from the One Piece Film Edition Starter Deck [ST-05] to replenish DON!! cards. The <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/03\/06\/one-piece-card-game-thats-not-namiits-mr-2-bon-clay-benthamextra-booster-memorial-collection-eb01-061\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mr. 2 Bon Clay (Bentham) card<\/a> can also pose an attacking threat if necessary; it copies the base power of any of the opponent&#8217;s Character cards of the player&#8217;s choice for that turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When mulliganing, cards to prioritize include the aforementioned Raise Max, Ain, and Gordon cards as well as Vinsmoke Reiju from Wings of the Captain [OP-06] to increase the number of cards in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying all the cards in a Red\/Purple Law deck costs at least 58,460 JPY (~US$375).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/05\/09\/pokemon-tcg-legacy-energy-takes-lugia-vstar-decks-to-another-level-mask-of-change-sv6-101-101\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Legacy Energy card from Mask of Change [SV6]<\/a>.
