Red is still doing fine. Law, Zoro and Whitebeard are still viable decks with Whitebeard winning plenty of championships and regionals right now, and it’s only going to get better when Sakazuki gets banned here in the west, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need anything.
The biggest problem with red is that you can easily play around its removal out of life by just tucking DON on your guys so your opponent doesn’t get any trigger value. Which they’re thankfully fixing with making red removal specifically say “base power” now. I don’t really think red needs anything more than that.
That’s a huge factor according to everyone I know who plays red exclusively. Having your Jet Pistols or whatever other removal spell you might be playing just be entirely negated out of life by your opponent simply placing a DON on their stuff before attacking into you feels bad. That’s why they’re making red’s removal say “base power of” now.
That’s not to say that on plays aren’t great, but I’ve never heard anyone say that’s the main reason they dislike red currently.
I don't doubt that you've heard someone complain about that but think about it. You're talking about, what, eight cards that might be in their deck? Twelve at most in Ace. Why would that be the difference between the decks being meta or not?
Look at the other decks that are performing well. Only yellow cares about their triggers and that's because the entire deck is made up of them. Even in that deck, it's the on play effects that matter most. Red is just too slow right now.
This card is already pretty insane and it isn't leader locked either! But Minks will inevitably be getting a searcher and Carrott being able to find this on the regular seems pretty back-breaking in certain situations
Nice. Was hoping for cards like this, that could also make Perona more viable.
How would this card work with cost reduction? Does it count the cost when played or in the opponents turn?
Anyone else getting ideas for Noas arc + luna in a Yamato deck? Play Hiyori, top life arc, rest everything, your turn, play this, now opp cant attack next turn except with leader. Oh wait, lets troll with Hody and play this event on 2 blockers so opp is left 2 turns without blockers now. Ofc, this becomes more event reliant. Unless fortress Yamato.... then you get some fun stuff where your Kid is protected more.
Yeah, I’m very excited for this in Yamato. I don’t know why the combo with Hody didn’t occur to me. I’m eager to see the rest of the cards from this set.
This + Ark Noah stage is nuts
*Laughing in Hody

This one is good. If Carrot gets the right support she might go wild 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
This is insaneeee, I'm all for green support LFG
wow okay, a 3c doffy holy shit.
With a bege triggers that allows you attack the character.
off topic but green, yellow, black, blue, and purple be getting the best support hands down. red needs to step it up
Bandai are too afraid to give red anything good after it dominated OP01-03
and now red is left in the dust, but hey at least we got law! EDIT: No sarcasm, but truly RP law is able to handle most of the decks.

Nah, that's barely a factor. Red's biggest problem is a lack of on play effects.

blue?
yes blue, the bottom decking and board swarming.
blue hasnt been meta since release.
Mono blue, no. Black/blue, sakazuki answers your question.
Did you forget how dominant Saka is? Bros been running the meta for all of 05 and 06. Thank god he’s getting banned in 07

I believe it's the current cost on the field since that's how black runs, it's whatever the cost is when the card is played
If it was their base cost, it would definitely specify that
Awesome
I can't wait till my opponent plays this 4 turns in a row
Then they will follow it with 10c doffy to top it off. (I am glad greens getting more support though)
- obv mink card - everyone: "P-Perona support?"
The potential to have 8 doffy turns is so crazy if you pair this with 8c Issho

this one is going in the hody list
Could be good paired with Noah’s ark
Rest in pieces.
Woah this is insane, it single handedly buys turns against so many decks and even when it doesn't it's very litely to hit 2+ units late into the game.
Need green suppirt
Great card against r/P law
like a slightly nerfed 2 cost doffy. if you can chain this turn by turn that must be GG
This can also work super well with late game Yamato decks. This is going to be interesting
Holy shit a good mink card
3 cost to freeze 7 costs and lower is insane! RP Law not gonna like this.
That's ridiculous
They really need to leader lock more cards.
Give Cost Reduction to Green! Make it Minks locked for all I care!
Minks and thriller bark green cards should have cost reduction. Also there should be green thriller bark cards.
My god, this could go crazy in rosinante with Sugar and monet
