I feel like this deck needs an event which redirects attacks at characters into your leader. It would protect characters and force triggers out of life, seems like it would be decent.

17:00 oh no, oh no, oh nonononono

For that last game before the opponent surrendered, the best play was probably yamato, gain 1 life, leader ability, atlas to life. That way, opponent has 3 "safe" swings with overbuffing garp, ace and luffy and maybe try his luck with 2 sabos swinging. You had 2 2ks that could hold a tame swing, 2 blockers for heavy swings and 2 life that would result in 1 more atlas on the field and who knows what else could come from that last life. Next turn you would have 3 bodies to swing and he would be out of counters. He would need a lot of luck to pull 1 more sabo or ace from topdeck, but even if he did, that would drain his don considerably making his swings be still survivable via counters. But definetelly yamato + leader ability would be the way to go.

I run almost the exact same list and it’s been killing it in locals. You got any tips against lucci? That’s the only deck I’m struggling with currently

Sanji is only 3 cost in hand not on field. It is in the skill text.
