The card list for The Best Vol. 2 has been announced by One Piece themselves, and just having a glance over we can tell this set is absolutely stacked! Not only do we have amazing reprints pouring out of this set, but we're also getting brand new cards and exclusive promos - which is absolutely insane! If you know anything about The Best Vol. 1, it's essentially the top rated cards from One Piece over the past couple of years. Vol. 2 seems to be following suit, just with a much spicier card line-up.
Reprints
First up, some of the more honourable mentions are Charlotte Pudding from Wings of the Captain, Silvers Rayleigh from Two Legends and Gum-Gum Giant from Emperor's in the New World. Why, do you ask?
Well starting off with Charlotte Pudding, she's a 4 cost 4000 Power Blue Card. She appeared in 3 of the top 10 decks played in recent Regionals, and she's...well...insane. On play, your opponent returns all cards in their hand to their deck, then shuffles their deck. They then draw 5 cards. So if your opponent has a hefty hand and a dirty grin on their face, you know this card is a must to play. If you're on the receiving end of Charlotte Pudding, you know exactly how frustrating this card is - especially when you get a good hand!
Silvers Rayleigh is another impressive reprint, particularly with how expensive the card is. It's already sitting at around £12 on most market places, which has the potential to come down with the release of The Best Vol. 2. Silvers Rayleigh is a 8 Cost, 8000 Power Red Card that allows you to select 2 of your opponent's Characters, giving 1 Character -3000 power and the other -2000 power until the end of your opponent's next turn. Then, K.O. up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with 3000 power or less. Need I say more?
Finally, the Gum-Gum Giant event is coming back with a vengeance. This Purple Event card has the following action text.
[Counter] DON!! -2, You may trash 1 card from your hand: If your Leader has the {Straw Hat Crew} type, up to 1 of your Leader or Character cards gains +4000 power during this battle. Then, draw 2 cards.
Being able to trash and get +4000, then draw two cards is a pretty powerful move to pull on your opponent.
New Cards
Shockingly, with The Best Vol. 2 is coming some new cards. Why is this shocking? Because The Best is supposed to focus on reprints, but to bring out some new cards is pretty insane and blindsided us all. But nevertheless, we're looking at some of the newer cards that are being dropped in this set.
Boa Hancock is first up, simply because of how different it is for Yellow with the stun ability. When played, you can discard 1 card with Trigger from your hand. Your opponent's rest Leader or up to 1 of your opponent's characters other than Monkey.D.Luffy cannot attack until the end of your opponent's next End Phase. Of course, Monkey.D.Luffy is excluded due to the manga lore, but this stun ability is almost game-changing for Yellow Decks.
Next up is Gecko Moria, not so much because of the ability but because of the potential to bring Perona back into viability and most importantly bringing back the Gecko Moria deck. This card is type-locked, so it allows you to play up to 1 character card with a cost of 4 or less from your trash in rest mode of your leader has the Thriller Bark Pirates trait. Afterwards, grant up to 1 Rest Don!! to your leader or 1 character. That then plays into the Gecko Moria Leader card which uses rested Don!!
Finally, Trafalgar Law's new Super Rare card which is fantastic support for Red/Green Smoker decks. Once per turn, if Trafalgar Law leaves the field due to an opponent's effect, this character can instead receive -2000 power during the turn. When attacking, up to one of your opponent's characters receives -2000 power during the turn.
With the new cards and reprints discussed, there are some other cards we'd like to highlight. We're getting some promos that were exclusive one way or another - like the Monkey.D.Luffy card. This promo was exclusive to the Japan Expo in Paris before being released in the Premium Card Collection -Best Selection Vol.3- in English. We're pretty excited to see this coming back!
We're also getting brand new Manga Rares, that aren't Characters but Events! These, combined with the new parallel DON!! cards and gorgeously designed SP cards - we're really being spoiled. And as a final mention, Sanji is being featured for the first time in a Super Parallel Card!
