At 17:00 against bonney i think its way better to hard play the absolom from hand for one more don than wasting your leader swing into the kid to save one don. Your reasoning was that you'd rather have more don to pressure their life, but a 6k swing is more valuable than 1 extra don for pressuring them

I actually think you're 100% right. It definitely would be better to extend that one extra don and be able to have another swing into life. Good catch!

great video my man, good to see my baby gecko doing well again. I played it all of op06, just an fyi that your camera blocks their hands at the end so i reckon put it into the top right (just couldnt see what the lucci had at the end of the game)

at 22:13 why sabo instead of playing sakazuki on gedatsu ? (I'm just trying to understand !)

Hey, great question. I just rewatched that section and looking back I think going Sakazuki there instead of the Sabo would be the right choice. I think in the moment I was too focused on getting a blocker but Sakazuki would've been the better option in that scenario. Nice catch!

If they go through with the Gecko Moria ban, do you think Lucci, BY Luffy, and the deck you are showcasing here become irrelevant? Or do you see any, or all of those three able to change their gameplay a bit and adapt?
@Reikouh
Ай бұрын
Very interesting question. I would say BY Luffy would become the most irrelevant out of the 3. I think Gecko and Lucci could find some areas to pivot since the navy package, cp package, and thriller bark package are all strong respectively

Sincere question, that BY Luffy game, why did you ignore swinging into garp with leader? There was like 2 turns where he was swinging with him but you didn’t attack him
@Reikouh
Ай бұрын
I’m assuming you are talking about the Garp he played off the Moria. I think it was just an oversight on my part. Wasn’t thinking about during the game but it definitely is the right choice to swing with lead into it

Do you feel like Stussy is necessary? I do like her as a 1 of but feel like she doesn’t come up enough to warrant ruining consistency, and is there a good argument that can be made for only running 11 2ks?
@Reikouh
Ай бұрын
You can definitely get away without running Stussy and just run another Isho or even an 8 drop Sabo. She is really there as an emergency button. As for running 11 2ks instead of 12, I needed to make space for some higher cost reduction i.e Helmeppo and Ice age. So Tsuru was the only slot I felt going down by 1 since we run 8 other 2ks that we can recur through Rebecca and Hogback

Hmm, Sabo is honestly a staple in all black decks right now because of it's cycle and board protection. If you need to substitute it I would play 4 cost Borsalino since it can't be K.O'd by effect
@GR8NE55
22 күн бұрын
Having a ton of staples at 3 in the deck is really bad. I would recommend starting with 4 of every staple and adding stuff from there. Tsuru, Sabo, Rebecca, Brannew, and Borsalino are a MUST at 4x in addition to the Thriller Bark stuff. Cutting any of them down ruins this deck's ability to dig for pieces and protect itself in the long run. 6c Brook or 5c Luffy also really helps against black mirrors because of Sabo and Borsalino protection skills.
@Reikouh
22 күн бұрын
So when you say its really bad did you try running the list? Since OP07 came out there have been 27 Gecko's that have topped events. 0 of them ran the cards you mentioned at all 4 of's. None of them ran 6c Brook or the 5c Luffy though I can see how they would be helpful in black matchups. I think the deck operates just fine in those matchups as long as you play to the decks strengths and focus on going wide rather than removal.

@@alfredfuentes7586 That’s a good question. I think cost wise it’s technically beginner friendly. Complexity wise I would probably lean towards no. I think if I had someone who was new to the game I would start them with either a Green, Blue, or Yellow deck because I think it’s easier to learn the fundamentals of the game with those colors.

@@alfredfuentes7586 You can definitely still play the deck even if you are a newer player. I would probably recommend Bonney as a leader to start with, only downside is it might be a more expensive deck. If you have most of the cards for gecko you can very much play the deck, the deck plays to its going first or second curves very well, the majority of complex thought in this game comes down to when to counter/take life, when to protect units/ let them die, and when to go after your opponents board versus their life. I would recommend watching my profile for gecko to see if that helps learn some lines of play or rewatch this video so you can study the thought process behind choices.
