Oh my god this could not have been more perfect, I was just cooking Kyros for hours and he’s so cool. I was just thinking “I need more Kyros advice from RU-vid” and the king provided!
That top left corner in the regular Sanji art is him confronting Luffy if I'm not mistaken. Won't spoil it too much from what's depicted in the art. Also, will be trying this Kyros list tonight. Went over my head to focus on just reducing cost for leader effect, and kept trying to clunk it with other KO's. Lol
Played it against my brother's Foxy deck for a couple rounds. First game, he struggled to establish board and spent the game countering as I starved him out. Second game, he wised up and threw down multiple low cost characters so I'd always have to get rid of something to keep him from hitting his 3 Foxy Pirates threshold. Never seeing a 10c Kuzan wasn't help. Lol Misplays aside, both rounds were fun. Probably will need to be more discerning against decks that can spam the table. Doesn't seem like Kyros can quite keep up if only he and a couple other cards can provide removal. Though, I only have Foxy to go off of at the moment, and constantly being rested or frozen from refreshing added to the difficulty. Did fit some 10c Aces in there afterward. Needing to get some swings in was killing me. Lol
**rewatching the matchups in the video and being reminded that Kyros can put in the work to keep up Given my only games were against Foxy, likely just more practice will do me a huge favor. Lol 🫠
I know it’s a bit a ways away but when 09 comes out and the blackbeard leader is released I think the dressrosa package will definitely be something to reconsider as most of the cards are activate main/attack abilities and wouldn’t care about the on play negation!! but over all a cool version of the the deck!
For anyone interested in this leader I've got some spice for you. Give the 2 cost 2k counter Sanji and/or the ST-07 Daifuku a try, they basically do the same thing and they're amazing for getting that top life back face down.
Do more of the art critiques it’s so nice I love how you explain and express the cards art and keep up it with the underrated leaders do B/Y Ace next please I’ve been cooking with him and wanna hear your input on him
Spoilers for one piece about the art: The scene in the back of the base card is when sanji is kidnapped from the straw hat crew and coerced into a diplomatic marriage between sanji’s vinsmoke family and big mom pirates. when luffy and the crew comes to rescue sanji, he turns them away because he doesn’t want the vinsmoke family and big mom to harm the straw hats in retribution, kinda fits the blocker self sacrifice theme.. that scene is where he is about to fight luffy to turn them away, even though I feel like that other person doesn’t really look like luffy.. and if you look at op04-116 that’s when sanji kicks luffy from the same scene. And the scene on the alt art is during the wedding ceremony, where sanji completely destroys it with the help of his crew and others.. and I never noticed it till you mentioned it, but if in the manga, sanji never had a cig in his hand prior to the ceremony but picks it up when he decides to trash the whole thing, that is a very nice touch from the author or maybe the artist like saying the old straw hat crew sanji is back.
Are you gonna do a Y/B Charlotte Linlin op07/08 updated decklist, maybe some of egghead cards that focus on 2 or less life and Kindom Come event card from EB are really good. Love your work, keep it up!
That was one card I was immediately thinking of. Life goes to 0; that's it - Kyros is a vanilla leader. Just trying to figure out where I want to fit him.
If you want to grab a 2 cost 2k to replace flampe with cost reduction you could go 2 legged toy soldier, and you can activate its main before kyros effect!
