Diving into Emperors in the New World (OP-09)

The Emperors in the New World set has created a tidal wave of excitement in the One Piece Card Game community. This set focuses on the powerful New Four Emperors and characters from ONE PIECE ODYSSEY, bringing fresh strategies and stunning artwork to the table. Let’s explore what makes this set so special.

History of the One Piece TCG

The One Piece Trading Card Game officially set sail in Japan in July 2022, quickly making waves in the trading card game community. It wasn’t long before eager fans worldwide were clamouring for an English release, which arrived later that year. The game’s initial sets laid the foundation for its strategic gameplay, introducing core mechanics like Leader cards, DON!! Cards, and the diverse array of Character, Event, and Stage cards. Early sets focused on introducing the Straw Hat crew and other prominent characters from the East Blue saga, allowing players to build decks around their favorite pirates.

As the game progressed, subsequent sets expanded the character roster to encompass more of the vast One Piece universe, delving into different arcs and introducing new mechanics and strategies. Sets like Paramount War and Romance Dawn brought iconic moments and characters from the anime and manga to life on the tabletop. Each new set has built upon the last, adding layers of complexity and strategic depth to the game.

Emperors in the New World (OP-09) marks a significant point in the game’s timeline. It shifts its focus to the New Four Emperors, the powerful pirates who rule the New World in the One Piece story. This focus brings new deck-building possibilities and introduces powerful new cards that can dramatically change the course of a game. The set also continues the popular Wanted Poster series and introduces the exciting new Treasure Rare rarity, further enhancing the set’s collectability.

The One Piece Card Game: A Brief Overview

The One Piece Card Game is a dynamic trading card game where players build 50-card decks, utilising DON!! Cards and a Leader card to battle against their opponents. The game features various card types, including Character, Event, and Stage cards, with different rarities adding to the collectability.

The One Piece Card Game is a two-player card game where players use 50-card decks built around a Leader card. The goal is to reduce the opponent’s life to zero.

Key gameplay elements:

  1. Leader Cards: Represent main characters and determine starting life (typically 4, not 5)
  2. DON!! Cards: Energy source for playing cards and boosting attacks. Players start with 2 and gain 2 each turn
  3. Card Types:
    • Character Cards: Used for attacking and defending
    • Event Cards: One-time effects
    • Stage Cards: Ongoing effects
  4. Attacking and Blocking: Characters can attack the opponent’s Leader or rested Characters. Defenders can block with active Characters having the “Blocker” ability
  5. Deck Strategies: Include aggro (fast attacks), control (disruption), and combo (synergistic card combinations)

The game’s turn structure consists of Refresh, Draw, DON!!, Main, and End phases. Players use DON!! cards to pay for playing cards and powering up attack

A Beckett Black Label First for WLC!

In other exciting news, we’ve achieved a significant milestone here at We Love Collectibles! We’ve recently acquired our first Beckett Black Label graded card! This prestigious grade, the highest attainable from Beckett Grading Services (BGS), has been awarded to a stunning 2024 Union Arena Attack on Titan Japanese Levi Ackermann 2 Star SR card.

  • This card boasts perfect sub-grades across the board: Centering 10, Corners 10, Edges 10, and Surface 10, resulting in the coveted PRISTINE Black Label grade and serial number 0017288356.

For those unfamiliar with grading, a Beckett Black Label signifies a card in absolutely flawless condition, as determined by BGS’s expert graders.

This Levi Ackerman card is a true gem for any Attack on Titan fan or serious collector. The card itself features Levi in action, a dynamic scene captured beautifully in the Union Arena card game. The card text includes details about Levi’s character abilities within the game, including his ability to activate additional AP cards and boost the BP (Battle Power) of other characters, while also granting them immunity to trigger effects.
