Yamato is cope, dont take her seriously please 🤗

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@Chinoize_ @captivat3tcg I havent tried the tech of using 6c without a target in trash yet, will explore!

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@AngeloT_OP Agreed, first impression is great - cant recall a set that introduced this many new viable leaders and interesting matchup dynamics

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@RustyBardiche_ @FenoHS They just block your last 7k. You simply force them to have 2k counter in 3 cards.

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@gabi__313 @FenoHS You can do better than that. 9 9 9 10 forces them to have 3k counter in their 3 cards.

@reneneneneneeee @AtrociousJake Hey du Frechdachs

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@reneneneneneeee @AtrociousJake makes you include bad cards and exclude good cards :^)

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@FenoHS Awesome idea!

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@Rocklho Yooo what the heck, Seva and me spent our summer holidays as kids at the same chess camps - havent seen him in ages and didnt know he was into card games, thats awesome!

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

This was our initial version. We ended up replacing Whims with Sini and tweaking spreads - bulky KG to survive adamant Sneasler CC and Gyara is now adamant with more Atk investment.

Two weeks ago my friend and I built our first own VGC team and both climbed to ~2k elo with it. Yesterday @WolfeyGlick posted his Delphox video and we were in awe to discover he ran 5/6 of the same mons with the only difference being the support slot. Felt like being knighted. 🧵

[Mauzio @MaurizioIntini]

Hey everyone!
So excited to see my community growing with new faces, that it felt like a great time to share more about me for those that don't know me fully yet.
My name is Maurizio aka Mauzio, based in Berlin, the (OPTCG- ;P) capital of Germany.

My personal background
I hold a Master’s degree in Architectural Communication. I have been living my profession with passion for many years until about six months ago, when I could afford to become self-employed.

I now travel across Germany to lead seminars, workshops, and courses at universities, training centers, and major companies. Teaching and communication are what I do every single day!

This gave me the freedom to focus heavily on the One Piece TCG. I’m now competing in every Regional/Treasure Cup I can get a ticket for, even intercontinental trips.

My OPTCG Journey
I’ve been playing the One Piece Card Game since the Super Pre-Release back in October 2022. It wasn’t until around OP04 that I semi-competitive.

My greatest achievements to date are
- 2nd Place finish in Mülheim
- Top 4 in London (both with Shanks back in OP10)
- many more Top 8/16/32 over the years

Most recently I was able to secure my Finals Invites for both EU & NA (Top 16 Lille, France / Top 16 Pomona, CA).

This motivated me to finally do what I’ve wanted to do for a long time: launching my own Metafy Academy!

I’m combining my professional teaching skills with my One Piece Card Game knowledge to build an academy focused on high-level coaching, guides, and growth.

Stay tuned for more details on coaching sessions and membership tiers!

My first act
To start things off, I’m working on my Blue-Yellow Nami Guide for OP15. I’m dropping it as a Primer before competing in my next regional (Warsaw, May 2nd/3rd).

Stay tuned for the UY Nami guide to drop in the next few days!

Thank you for reading, I appreciate you all and I hope to see you around in the academy!

@railz0 @LukaTCG Easiest purchase of my life. Yesterday I played my first game of One Piece since January - timing couldn't be better 🙏

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

Best of luck to everyone competing at Bonn - especially my fellow RG Law players!
Very sad that I won't be able to play the one weekend where Law is a real threat but unfortunately I didn't manage to get a ticket for the Regional 💔

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@SkepasG @Impact_onfire Really? Feels so wrong to cut the card that was the heart of the deck for so long 💔

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@SkepasG @Impact_onfire Have played 0 games but from a first glance I would try cutting Cav and Blocker Law to 3 to add double 6c Law

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@5FaceDeniz You have my attention 😌

[Jan “Skip” Birkemeyer @SkipTCG]

@MexxloHC Stark! Viel Erfolg 🤗

[Chinoize - TCGLIVE @Chinoize_]
