Edit: after testing a lot vs a good game pattern in mirror i finally got the reality: unless your opponent is really bad bricked lucci is not a viable play because you get swinged back too hard and die without any possible response... i will probably drop the deck for the mirror

in my list i play 3 stussy (for ace) 3 lucci (for mirror) and 2 +3k spells (for aggressive decks like zoro), the other things are staple 4x except the stages 1x no shira no 2 cost blockers

the bad part: if you brick searchers you will find yourself with too few cards in the grave and activating lucci will hurt you too, but usually if it happens in mirror you lose the game at 80% so at least you can try to brick the opponent as you are even if he did 3/4 searchers

Reason: drain 1 card on play possibly brick 1 of the gorosei from grave if he survives: swings for 6 and not 5 like a gorosei if he dies: the opponent used mars that trashed another card = card advantage ---> win lategame

Combo decks are my favourite type, control in particular so i m finding myself well with Imu in OP13... the only hard part in the meta is to find a way to win consistently the mirror on both curves... my only possible solution is this especially going first:

credits to @LuigiAmatoTCG for the deck image and for the amazing tournament, always a pleasure to be part of his events, will seek for more opportunity in the future.

Scores were the following in swiss: 3/0 against rayleigh 2/0 against UP 1/0 against GP 0/1 against koby (missplays were made) 0/1 against bonney (dead for time at additional turns) top cut: 2/1 UP top 16 0/2 bonney top 8 (insane my opponent saw 0 useless cards in 2 games)

This weekend i finally made a nice result in Milan at the 3rd edition of the Emperor treasure with 160+ players... A straightforwardlist i would say, no techs, just a gameplan that solves almost any situation with the right combination of cards...

Teach: The matchup is all based on stage on T1 and how many ichijis you can bring to the table... i've put 1st ichiji on turn 4... not enough pressure so i lost (on turn 1 vs the other BB i saw 3 ichijis back to back on curve)

Shanks: Missed the 1x of red roc to contest the 10 cost shanks post rayleigh, unlucky to now draw with the reijus 1 of the 3 in a game (need to work on the deck order memory, i miss that part that is crazy powerful in this deck)

Bonney: the most bricked game, no reiju and he came with 2x smoker 5 cost into shanks 9 on ichiji, unplayable match

Detailed reasons why i lost the matches Zoro: didn't expect rayleigh in his list and came back to back with 3 of them on curve while i was going low on don to keep up to zoro animal usual curve so cant' reply to rayleigh with judge.

Actual list (+1 ichiji 7, -1 black maria)
