However, with the recent release of Two Legends [OP-08], that&#8217;s changing\u2014the Red Zoro deck has now made a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why has Two Legends [OP-08] caused the Red Zoro deck to bounce back? Well, it&#8217;s because the set introduced not one, not two, not three, but four cards that have re-established this deck&#8217;s capabilities in tournament play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of these four, the most important is the Tony Tony Chopper card which enables the player to deploy a Character card when entering the field of play. It pairs well with the Just Shut Up and Come with Us!!!! card from the Extra Booster Memorial Collection [EB-01]. Together, these card can tilt the balance of the board in the player&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that Chopper card has to be brought out before it can be used. That&#8217;s where another Two Legends [OP-08] card comes in: Dr. Kureha. The Dr. Kureha card allows the player to add the Chopper card to the player hand if Chopper is in the top four cards of the player&#8217;s deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further draw engine options, Nami from Romance Dawn [OP-01] can be used to land either that same Chopper card or any of the deck&#8217;s other Straw Hat Crew cards. Other Two Legends [OP-08] cards in the revamped version of the Red Zoro deck include Robson and Hiking Bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cards to prioritize when mulliganing are Dr. Kureha, Nami, and Just Shut Up and Come with Us!!!!. This way, as many copies of the Two Legends [OP-08] Chopper card as possible can be in play at the same time. Mulliganing for these cards will also help with accessing resources at key junctures of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When going second, the most important of these three cards is Just Shut Up and Come with Us!!!!. This is because going second puts the player in a position from which it&#8217;s easier to get the most out of its effect following activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying all the cards in a Red Zoro deck costs a minimum of 7,800 JPY (~US$50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/07\/24\/pokemon-tcg-the-crown-zenith-sea-sky-box-will-be-released-almost-two-years-after-the-sets-original-launch-date\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crown Zenith: Sea &amp; Sky Box<\/a>.
