Thank you Lambchop! I was planning to take a break from competitive play, because I haven’t really enjoyed the formats since 05 where you just have to follow a curve every game. However, this deck is making me reconsider because I really enjoy the mechanics and Ace is my favorite character.

@@ReillyTCG I feel it. Obviously I don’t play at a super competitive level but even casual play has gotten a bit stale with the 05/06 format. It’s too predictable & repetitive in my opinion. ST-13 shakes things up a bit & then 07 will bring a bit more diversity so I think people who have been a bit burnt out will be able enjoy a breath of fresh air in the game.

they’re super fun! I really enjoy them because they allow flexibility with your don!! and don’t rely on a particular curve like most decks do now.

Thanks for watching!

I start with 9 cards (5 in hand, 4 life) after each draw effect I add to the count. For example draw for turn + lead effect puts me to 15, meaning I have 35 cards in deck I haven’t seen. Then in my head I will add the first letters of the 5c brother I bottom deck. So I draw, lead effect and bottom deck Ace, Luffy Sabo; so in my head I think 15ALS.

@@ReillyTCG crazy mental gymnastics! I have a horrible memory but will try your method since i've really been enjoying the deck. But aren't you assuming you know what's in your life with those numbers?

@@ReillyTCG I like the idea of keeping track of how far away what you've bottom-decked is but my God, I don't understand nor would I be able to follow this idea LOL but more power to you! I'll have to figure out a simpler system that works for me, but it's something I hadn't even thought about until seeing this.

I will add it to life with Hiyori if I whiff a leader effect, or if it is luffy/sabo I will counter with them (unless I value their effect, such as using sabo to remove a character). I will hold Ace because at 9/10 don!! you can use leader effect + a baby + rush Ace.

yeah, it is on my twitter @aceofspadesop

@@ReillyTCG could you share it here on KZfaq? Don't have Twitter.

for me, the goal of the deck is to make my leader a 7k every turn, every card in the deck is geared towards achieving that goal and surviving the turns that I don’t. That card being no counter and not being playable in conjunction with leader ability and a 2c brother is why I wouldn’t play it. On 8/9 don!! I would rather use leader ability, play pudding and play a brother combo.

No I believe that's a huge reason as to why more people think this deck isn't that good. It is NOT core to the deck and actually hinders the main goal of this deck. Gravity Blade itself IS a good card of course, but in this deck, it not only prevents you from utilizing your leader's effect, but it also lowers your consistency as well. I believe that and maybe even Sanji's Pilaf should NOT be played in this deck if you're playing it correctly. Shirahoshi is just FAR superior to Sanji's Pilaf in every way! It helps SO much with your leader's effect consistency and can be set in life after grabbing it with leader using Hiyori to heal AND get the card draw, plus has counter. People just want to do TOO much with this deck. If you focus EVERYTHING into doing what you can to try and be a 7k leader every turn, this deck seriously shines! And it is FAAARRR more consistent in becoming a 7k leader every turn than even Luffy and especially Sabo. I genuinely believe that Ace is low-key the best leader out of the 3 brothers in terms of power and consistency IF played correctly with the right deck list...

@@ReillyTCG THIS! Exactly 100% this and this is what I've been trying to tell people too..

I am happy with the voiceover but I agree that taking fifty percent of the screen is a lot. Would be better to see the cards more.

Don't think it would matter too much since ace will be at a higher base power so even they rest it. They will have to commit resources to striking you back so I feel like it's a bit of a waste to rest your leader unless it's done defensively. Like when you attack with one of the brothers and they use an event or

@@AceManRevived Thank you sir!

Hi! The card say "You may trash the top card of your life" That way you can decide whether you trash it or not

If I don’t have an alternative play such as garp or pilaf, or I think that garp/pilaf will fit into my curve better on subsequent turns then I will use leader ability to get more deck information.

@@ReillyTCGthanks ❤️
