Hi, my name is Tristan.
I’ve been a competitive player for about 6 months now.
And ready to take the 2026 season by storm.

Expect to see more content about my journey and my overall thoughts, as well as deck-lists and practice on streams.

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Went to my first ever One Piece event. It wasn’t great but that was to be expected for my first time actually playing the game. I’m super excited to keep playing and make competitive runs and attend a ton more!

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

(3/?) As a player first, never a collector, this sucks so hard that TCG stores would much rather make a quick buck than help the people who actually let them keep their dreams alive and make more money. But I'm the problem as a player looking in.

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Alright, hot take time. I'm very tired of TCG stores just not having bulk access. I get it. We all wanna make money and carry all the heavy-hitter cards that'll make us thousands. But as a player, this is super disappointing. Now i know what youre thinking...(1/?)

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Why not just order off of TCG player for all the bulk? This is my next issue. I have severe ADHD (and probably some form of autism), and I prefer to go "on the hunt" for the thrill of finding cards "in the wild". I can't do that when no one has access to bulk...(2/?)

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Are there any super tempo/aggro decks that are good going into OP18/EB05? Would love recommendations and decklists!

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Does anyone have any good guides for One Piece? I’m looking specifically for Rocks and UY Boa.

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Are there any One Piece TCG teams?? I’m genuinely looking to be on one as I start my new career in the space. I’ll do whatever for the opportunity to be finally be in the right places to improve and become a known player.

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

As much as I love pokemon and can’t wait for Delta Reign and my absolute domination with Zoro and Mega Ray this season. It might be put on the back burner for another chase…One Piece.

I’ve fallen in love with this TCG and can’t wait to start getting into the competitive scene.

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Brought back the tried and true Zoro. Decent outing for it. Hit probably the worst matchup at the end. FLead with shaymin

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Not the best performance out of me unfortunately. I still have faith in Lucario Togekiss. Super fun deck and can be super oppressive with decent starts and mid games. Togekiss is a game changer. Of course still rocking those @ElementSleeves, 10% off with code ELEMENTTRISTAN!

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Went 3-1 with the FLEADDDDD!

Felt super good. Got greedy round 3 and it bit me but overall the deck feels great. Gladion makes this deck super powerful in my opinion. Was rocking those sweet Darkside Shrouds from @ElementSleeves. Use Discount code ELEMENTTRISTAN for 10% off!

I am ridiculously excited to announce that I am officially an affiliate for my favorite sleeve brand of all time, @ElementSleeves!

Code: ELEMENTTRISTAN

These are my, unbiased, favorite sleeves of all time and I’m excited I get this opportunity!

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Even with the very unfortunate news for Pokemon Unite. I’m still having a blast playing and really hope it lives on globally in the esports space. I’d love to make a run at it.

With that being said, I may come back to streaming just to stream Unite.

Maybe tonight? Who knows?🤷🏻‍♂️

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

I’ve finally decided to try champions and I’m having an absolute blast. It’s bringing back a new fire to competition that I really needed.

Not only will I be participating in more TCG events, locals and premium, but I’ve even decided to dive into the VGC space. Maybe a regional?

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

@SoftlockTCG How about shhhh and just let a boy dream

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

Also huge shout out to @ElementSleeves for the absolute banger sleeves, like always! Darkside Shroud gave me some inhuman skills tonight!

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

After some capped (😒) BO3 practice for NAIC, I feel amazingly confident with my deck and play. This is the best I’ve played and the most prepared I’ve been. All thanks goes to @JoshFrinkTCG! He’s been an amazing help getting me feeling prepared!

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

I’ve got my archetype locked in, I’m testing, and this is the most confident I have felt in myself and in a deck (and I’ve played a lot of lists and had a lot of fun).

I never thought I’d ever say that about the deck I’m playing🫣

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

@0Celestialser0 And we salute you🫡

[Tristan 🔜 OPTCG @NyteMareTCG]

@0Celestialser0 Let it go😭
