One Piece Card Game Dallas Reveals: Four OP-18 Leaders and Manga Shirahoshi
Dallas brought four new OP-18 Leaders, a manga-style Shirahoshi reveal for EB-05, and two new champions.
Bandai Card Games Fest Dallas gave One Piece Card Game players a closer look at the next two releases. The biggest OP-18 news was four newly revealed Leaders: green Monkey D. Luffy, black/yellow Spandam, blue Ms. All Sunday, and red/blue Karoo. They join Franky and Saint Gunko, who had been shown earlier, to complete the set’s six-Leader lineup.
With the reveal, we got a sneak peek at the possible decks to play when The Dominance of God arrives in November. Karoo brings Alabasta and Animal support, Ms. All Sunday works with Baroque Works, and Spandam gives Cipher Pol a new Leader. Luffy’s green card can attack again, with a restriction on becoming active next turn. Their place in the format will depend on the rest of OP-18’s support.
Bandai also previewed One Piece Heroines Edition Vol. 2 (EB-05), including more Super Rares and a manga-style Shirahoshi card. EB-05 is scheduled for October 30 in English, with OP-18 following in November.
OP-18 itself was announced before Dallas, but the weekend added its packaging and four Leader reveals. A Luffy/Shanks/Hancock Mini Case Set was another product announcement around the event.
Besides the previews, the event featured two events we've already covered. One is the North American Season 1 Championship Finals, won by Nicky Goldman's Dracule Mihawk and the Flame-Flame Fruit Colisseum, which SPZ_Daniel won with OP09 Nico Robin.
