lol, that’s how I feel. Teammate looks on with pain as I try to “help” them lol

Buddy Battle, it’s about the teammates we lost along the way, lol! But no, it definitely seems interesting! Now gotta wait for One Piece Commander! haha

personally, been brainstorming a Kaido-Smoker pairing, just cuz Board Wipe Kaido won’t affect Borsalino or Starter Smoker, so you can set up your team nicely. I also like Support Sanji, which is flood the board with Characters while still keeping up Don to play counters.

Zoro + King (if both effects work on both player’s turns), Zoro plays Aggro as usual but then King gets double the ability to control board because it basically gets a 2k+ off of zoro ability and king ability (judging that “10 don” applies from either or yourself)

gotta pretend to be the other players. That’s how I’ve won all of my Super Smash Bros matches back in the day. ORRRRR get together with some online buddies!

that's awesome! as for the counter questionn, I believe you can only use your own don for your own counter events. So you can still protect your teammate, but it has to be your own card.

@@theotherdecks thanks for the clarification.

I think when it says "Can't share effects" it's referring to trading cards from one player's hand to the other. But, if you and your teammate were playing Double Kaido, you should be able to activate Onigashima to ramp your teammate. Like that would be allowed, cuz the "your" you would declare to be your teammate. Thing I'd be careful of, if you wanted to use Onigashima like this, then your teammate needs to be using an Animal Kingdom Pirate leader as well. Like, I don't think that you switch who the "your" is referring to in the middle of effect resolution. (But that's just a theory currently, waiting to see if any of the niche scenarios have been cleared up by the devs and the Judge's Discord)

thank you! glad it helped and appreciate you subbing!

the player can choose who to attack. So if A1 is attacking, they can either opt to attack B1 or B2 (where the teams at A1A2 vs B1B2)

I believe it will only work on your personal turn. There’s a clarification i found in the judge discord: “If an effect specifies conditions or costs, it refers to the player using the card (not their partner), unless otherwise indicated.” In this case, the keyword “Your Turn” is a condition for the effect.

so, with 1c Buggy, you can target your buddy’s deck to search top 5 cards of their deck and put 1 impel down card that you find to their hand. You wouldn’t be able to search your deck and add the card to your buddy’s hand. (as far as my understanding of the rules)

yup yup!

So, I’ll preface this by saying that this might be one of those niche scenarios they’re trying to figure out. BUT, I will say that it probably doesn’t apply on both yours AND your teammate’s turns. It will probably just apply to one, and you’ll have to declare it when you play it and probably on subsequent turns. But, if there’s additional info and clarification, I’ll reply here

It only applies during your turn in this case

@@ohkhahrrr thanks! appreciate the help with this effect!

so as far as I understand, yeah, you can use a card like love love mellow for their character, and the effect would look at their hand for 3 cards, and they would draw. Searcher can also search your teammates deck, but the cards have to meet the requirements (like Pudding needs to find Big Mom Pirates) and it would go to their hand.

both players have to deck out, not just the Nami player

​@@theotherdeckswhat happens if the non nami player deck out before nami, do the nami squad lose?

I believe due to some new rulings, Zoro's ability only works on your actual turn, as the "Your Turn" is the key word and not in the effect's description

to clarify, what do you mean by “not me and my opponent”? If you have 8-drop kid on the field and are using the Don x1 effect, I believe both of your opponents have to KO the Kid first before they can target any non-Kid characters.

@@theotherdecks yea like the rules say we can’t share effects but if I have 8 drop kid down would that mean that both of my opponents have to attack the rested kid ?

maybe! There's counter mechanics now, yeah? So that would help with the defensive strategy. Otherwise it'd just be blocking for each other. The only thing that might get a bit wonky is memory.

yeah, a little intensive for sure. I think if you know your playgroup or even your partner, could be a ton of fun! But it’s one of those “with the right people” type of formats I feel

me and my buddys got together and it took bout 30 to 40 min per game we managed to squeeze 3 games 2v2 and a single 1v1 battle into about less than 3 hrs
