New Straw Hat Pirates

[Zkaiser]

I am a huge fan of One Piece and have made many cards for them in the past. This is an update/reboot of the archetype. I have created them as an Aggro/Control Deck and was able to fit in a niche equip style into them with Franky and the Thousand Sunny's "Channel" cards. I hope you guys like them and give any kind of feedback you can.

[NumberCruncher]

Shouldn't the 500 ATK boost be at the beginning of Luffy's effect?

[Agro]

Isn't this a Pop Culture thing, even if it IS written?

[Zkaiser]

Shouldn't the 500 ATK boost be at the beginning of Luffy's effect?

Probably. I'll switch it up. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Zkaiser]

So what do people think of the effects of these cards? Even if they are Pop Culture material, I would still like opinions on their effects. That's something that I don't trust the Pop Culture section with.

[Gameslayer_93]

first off, Luffy, Chopper, Robin and Brooke shouldn't really be Water attribute (them being devil fruit users) and tbh i think luffy and zoro should be higher levels, i imagined them as something like

Zoro

If this monster destroys an opponents monster in battle it can attack once again in a row.

 

I quite like Luffy's effect though, he should definitely have a much higher attack and maybe a special summoning effect, like "If your opponent declares an attack against a Straw Hat Pirate; you can special summon this card from your hand and redirect the attack to this card."
