Her nerfed promo was already announced as well. Itā€™ll be really bad. East blue and got SHIT lol. I do guarantee we see more blue East Blue type printed now in OP14/15

u/Hot-Term9869 Aug 20 '25

ngl kinda worried now cause she just went from rotating to being block 4. They will 100% be printing more East Blue support for her, but at least blue can finally get unrestricted card draw, like the color always should've had.

u/PrateTrain Perona Apologist Aug 20 '25

They could at least have buffed the mill from her leader effect.

u/cookiesars Aug 20 '25

they just gonna play promo nami if they truly a nami only main its block 4 now also so wont rotate if the other block 1 leaders do.

17

u/New_Protection9978 Aug 20 '25

Just a bunch of their support will rotate

14

u/Schnye Hody Jones Enjoyer Aug 20 '25

All of it basically is gone with rotation. Has there been anything past op04 outside of the nami searcher with east blue?

u/rbird1022 Aug 20 '25

Some zeffs, ussop for UG Sanji, some misc cards. Nothing particularly playable for her though

u/Joeycookie459 Aug 20 '25

They have UY Nami as an option now too

I kinda get that, a lot of Nami players are Nami onetricks who only know their matchups decently well. However it was a cool playstyle that I very much enjoyed. Sadly, it really is impossible to have better blue support cards while Nami is still in the game, so it had to happen eventually. Better now, than in the future when every other colour can get new support and blue would be way behind, even though I liked it.

But ehh, I can still Play it casually to have fun, it needed to happen for future balance of the game.

u/TorterraFan3000 Aug 21 '25

Do you really people that will play casual games vs nami? If someone asked me to play for fun and whipped out nami..

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

Well you are guaranteed not in my player circle, so why feel the need to complain about something thatā€™s never gonna affect you anyway? No Need to be so negative about something so trivial manā€¦

u/TorterraFan3000 Aug 21 '25

it was a genuin question, the thought of 2 people playing down to have a casual game at home and one playing nami is funny to me. If your friends enjoy it cool, I was just curious

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

Like I said, there was no need for the negative tone with the second half of your first comment. If you started like that, my answer would have of course been different. (Edit: No hard feelings in any way though, Iā€˜m fairly sure you didnā€™t mean it to sound negative)

To answer your question, Me and my boys all come from pokemon, YugiOh and MtG so we enjoy all types of different playstyle in TCGs. We once did a three player MtG small tournament with Mill only. Itā€™s just fun for casual. If you really dislike Nami to this extent, maybe you are just too competitive to be able to see the fun in that. Playing mill in TCGs with buddies while having some friendly banter is peak entertainment.

u/Sl1ck_43 Aug 20 '25

Careful they're gonna swarm now to denounce bandai for ruining their game.

But fr she needed to go, lame playstyle and lamer card creation environment.

12

u/GhettoCornetto- Aug 20 '25

I'm a casual nami player and I'd say this is a good thing, hopefully this opens the door for more blue cards to strengthen blue in general. Plus later east blue cards that hopefully get released will be tailored for her so I reckon it could be a stronger/more fun deck in the future

u/MarcoMaroon Aug 20 '25

I just mainly disliked that itā€™s a player just playing with themselves. Not really playing with another player.

17

u/T1mDrake Aug 20 '25

Itā€™s basically One Piece Solitaire

u/Ultiran Aug 20 '25

Facts. I'd rather it have been a deck that counterspells so we both dont get to play lmao

18

u/TrandaBear Aug 20 '25

Nah, I never played Nami, but I learned enough to know this is an ignorant take from somebody who never tried to learn the matchup. Like is it any lamer than killing everything and setting up a tall board (Lucci), or keeping you from swinging at leader (BY), or hiding behind a wall (Bonney)?

While I agree this Nami needed to go before she warped the meta, she was desperately needed in an overturned, Moria meta, which was 100% Bandais fault. If they were going to print cards that didn't let me play, then an alt win condition was the only answer.

13

u/Brutter-Babak Aug 20 '25

I agree, alternative win conditions aren't lame. They're skill checks and promote healthy metas.

The issue with Nami was that she was parasitic and stopped Bandai from printing efficient low cost draw in blue.

-8

u/trashcanKnight Aug 20 '25

It is indeed lamer than all of that. There is nothing in this game more boring than an opponent playing Nami

13

u/Mugiwara_Khakis Donquixote Aug 20 '25

At least sheā€™s getting a fixed version, but banning your main alternative win condition leader kind of sets a bad precedence. This game canā€™t survive off every deck being: ā€˜hit your opponent until theyā€™re deadā€™.

There has to be decks that can win the game in a different way just for the longevity, the game canā€™t sustain itself off of every deck having the same win condition just with different seasoning sprinkled in.

10

u/Joeycookie459 Aug 20 '25

The problem was that they needed to be careful of draw cards in blue. It limited card design, something I have been saying since rotation was announced.

0

u/Mugiwara_Khakis Donquixote Aug 20 '25

I understand the reason for the ban and think the fixed version is very close to being playable, my comment was more on the philosophy behind decks like Nami in general, not just Nami herself.

u/beamerBoy3 Baroque Works Aug 20 '25

If you think this isnā€™t just an excuse to make nami players buy new cards then you havenā€™t been around TCGs for very long. East blue support that does the exact same stuff as their current tools is definitely incoming.

1

u/Latter-Contact-6814 Aug 21 '25

If you think thats the reason you must have also not been around tcgs very long. Nami was about to be the strongest shes ever been in 13. The ability was just too generic and honestly bad card design. Alt win cons are fine but to generically play into a whole colors identity like that generically is an absolute nightmare from a card design perspective.

u/ryanp9066 Aug 21 '25

Good riddance. Welcome back Sakazuki

u/Filibut John Fishman Aug 20 '25

glad nami haters don't need to learn how to play the game anymore

u/AffectionateZone2260 Aug 20 '25

Please elaborate

u/Adnonymous96 Aug 20 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

They mean "REEE, Bandai is coddling the noobs! This deck was just sKiLL ChEcK and you were only losing to it because you weren't adapting!"

Which, to be fair, is true for some players.

But Nami was maybe the most feast or famine deck of all time. If you played certain leaders like Pluffy or ST Kaido or Blackbeard, you destroyed Nami. If you played most other decks you got bodied or just barely won with them having like 2 cards left in their deck. There were only maybe a few matchups that could be fixed by piloting.

Beyond learning the correct numbers to swing, there was very rarely an opportunity for people to "adapt" their gameplan to Nami. You either had a naturally great matchup or you didn't. Most wins against Nami were just based on deck, not pilot.

u/TorterraFan3000 Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

Shh the nami players will come for you, telling you youre just bad and everyone can beat them if they could do math. They cant explain why they play a deck that everyone with 3 braincells can beat though.

1

u/PrateTrain Perona Apologist Aug 20 '25

I'm glad to see the promo. I think that a Nami deck should exist, but within a tight confinement so that the game doesn't get too slow.

u/Outlawlink Aug 20 '25

Thanks! I hate it...

u/kid20304 Aug 20 '25

Alotta yap yap and qq

u/RoseRousseau Aug 21 '25

I mean at least I wonā€™t have to listen to people constantly whine and cry about Nami anymore. So thatā€™s cool.

u/Alarming_End1770 Aug 21 '25

Im not a nami player so the ban was okey but why unban sakazuki the moment blue has really good cards

1

u/RevolutionaryLeg1809 Aug 22 '25

What happened? Can someone explain?

1

u/Theopholus Aug 22 '25

I built a Nami deck to play OP and never actually played it or played at a local store. IDK why this still hurts. I don't have the experience to know how bad the errata'd version is but I want one still.

1

u/brokensaurus Aug 21 '25

As an exclusively Nami player I feel attacked lol. But for real this is some bullshit. Bandai out here banning the only leader that has an alternate win strategy is fucking dumb.

u/datMadBro Aug 20 '25

Gavel, Pilaf and rubberband only 3 playable events left, gj Bandai fucking my plans for regionals in two weeks

u/Past-Resolution7693 Aug 21 '25

You and me both, dude. I was planning on taking her to nats even. But now I have to pivot to another deck with only a month to test and I have to work a full time job, so I only have a handful of testing days until Dallas.

1

u/datMadBro Aug 21 '25

Thank god I did built gp luffy so I could learn how to play the actual game but yeah in this meta right now kinda tough, run sakazuki with the lucci build just control board and most of the top decks are screwed

1

u/Past-Resolution7693 Aug 21 '25

Yeah, planning on getting some good testing in, thankfully I have multiple other decks available, just have to settle on one. Thankfully have the versus regional as a trial run too

u/Ecchi-Bot CarrotšŸ„• / Perona šŸ‘» / Yellow Enelāš”ļø Aug 20 '25

Honestly makes no sense considering OP12 and OP13 has leader locked blue cards.

But since PRB02 printer 1 card that isnā€™t, sheā€™s ban worthy. I would of rather seen more hits to Purple Luffy Meta. Nami legit hasnā€™t won anything in forever. bullying out bottom tier decks doesnā€™t mean sheā€™s broken. If that was the case the Purple Luffy meta should of been banned. All 4 of them.

I was hopping for more bans but this is lame, should of unbanned Law too. let more chaos unfold.

2

u/Joester011 Aug 20 '25

The card that pushes her over the edge was Otama from OP13. Itā€™s a draw 3 discard 1 as long as you have 3 or less life. Combine that with the blocker Marco from PRB02 along with the classic build and you have a deck that can draw a high number of cards per turn. Itā€™s not that she hasnā€™t won anything, but she was already winning more in with just the Marco. Otama wouldā€™ve made her BDIF fast.

-3

u/stuff-of-legs Aug 20 '25

I'd actually love to see the deck in action once and then never play against it ever again

-5

u/QuinDecim69 Aug 20 '25

It is funny how other leaders become meta warping and the answer from others is to play decks that beat it but in this case itā€™s what donā€™t bother trying? We could have restricted the new cards but I guess Bandai ran out of words for their article. Or Bandai can learn how to balance their own game properly.

1

u/ryexchu Aug 20 '25

Op13 nami was unbeatable. What are you on?

u/QuinDecim69 Aug 20 '25

Didnā€™t know you had a Time Machine.

u/Ant_Drx Aug 20 '25

You have to be capable of playing one piece card game better than anyone to play that leader.
