Come OP10, Rebecca has finally received the tools to solidify it as one of the strongest decks in the game. I genuinely believe the final version of this deck will only fall short to Usopp.

SHORT article, mainly a treat for my members. There are some OP10 Tournaments WITHOUT the banlist this weekend. These will be the last tournaments, sadly I can't porticipate, but maybe I can provide some BY Luffy hopium for the last tournament!

Discussion + Decklists for OP10 Lucci after the bans. This deck is 100% still a top tier level deck. Despite getting the most cards banned, it seems to still be the strongest out of itself, nerfed Doffy, and nerfed BY!

In this guide we'll be going over all of CrossAi's decklists, for the decks he believes are relevant at the end of OP09 meta. This will be especially useful for anyone going to One Piece Day, or any other end of OP09 Tournaments.

CrossAi's updated Lucci deck explanation! There's been a huge shift in the meta since the start of the set, and I think there's more of a basis for what an ideal Lucci list should look like.

We're looking at out first exclusive article on Metafy for 1st Div Commanders and up! Today we are going to be looking at a new style of BY deckbuilding, that has piqued my interest.

Blackbeard is One Piece's first floodgate deck! It is quite difficult to play, so this guide we'll be going over the full deck.

National winners guide to BY Luffy! Explaining why I picked this deck for nationals, it's position in the meta, the various card choices available, and the PLuffy & Doflamingo matchups! (the other matchups will come out in the next update)

Let’s get straight into it boys, this is going to be a long one, but I’m going to try to make it as informative and entertaining as possible. The subject for this article is the new scariest deck in Japan, and presumably OP08.5, Doflamingo. For those who don’t know, I have been playing Doflamingo for all of OP08.5 (with Law still around) and for most of OP09. As such, I have a lot to talk about. Please feel free to skip around if you feel you understand a section already.

Reiju is a deck that feels like she should be good, but couldn’t quite become meta. When the bans were announced, some thought that this deck would be tier 0. I believe that this is largely due to the fact that Reiju as a deck has always been that 1 step away from being meta in Japan in OP08, gated mostly by RP Law. Once RP Law disappeared it felt like the possibilities for this deck were endless, but it hit another wall in Black Yellow Luffy. Regardless, the deck has a lot of power, and while I won’t say that I can solve the Black Yellow Luffy matchup, I think the deck has lots of potential build in a direction that can be very powerful. Reiju will still beat bad BY Luffy’s so I believe she is still a great pick for this coming OP08 meta.

Intro (@Cross_Aii) The new starter decks came out, and we have an entire brand new set to explore, this means we are officially in a new format! Things have been a bit stale with OP08 basically being OP07+, and even OP08.5 felt like the same triangle, from before RP Law was banned. It may sound a bit ironic for me to be talking about freshness, as this is a Lucci guide. BUT HEAR ME OUT, due to there being a significant change in meta(shoutout starter decks & OP09), the Lucci deck is seeing some interesting changes. Rather than all Lucci decks almost being the same, there is now at least one new version of the deck to start looking at: Uta Build |Enies Lobby was banned, but this card can play a similar role if placed early!| Even aside from this Uta build, there are differences of opinion on adding cards like Soap Sheep(which has traditionally been considered a meme card), Hina(a card that has no been very popular since Sakazuki’s ban), 5-Cost Kaku, 9Kaido, etc. I think it’s always exciting to rebuild black decks when there’s a meta change. We may all end up back on the same Lucci deck, but the process of getting to the best Lucci build will be fun.
