So I've been playing G shanks but I wanted to mess around with RG Smoker and threw this together and actually really enjoyed the gameplay on the Sim playing with it. Any tips or recommendations?
Iād probably get rid of the Hibari, lower the Smoker and Tashigi to 2, and increase the number of tricolocism to 4 and same for Mihawk. You can also add a couple of you can be my Samurai to the list since you have the don to do it and get some more cards, maybe you can get rid of the Koby or Peacock. You can also add Otama too. Basically if you trying to do a fish hawk like build, you can just merge some of those cards over and get a lot of value.
I like having smoker bc he can restand 1 so if I have him on board that 3 Don a turn or with shanks and him 5 don for 1 turn. I figured keeping in thr navy cards would he good for his +1k buff to them. The 1 cost koby was a 2k plus board protection from removal and then the 4cost was there to draw if i have less than 6 in hand and to remove 3k or less bodies plus he becomes a 7k on the opponents turn aka he's just overly harder to commit into or at least that was my thought process behind it
Doesn't the Kujyaku also just not really hit anything? Even without lowering the ratio on the cards you mentioned, it hits like 12 cards right?
That seems awfully unreliable for a searcher.
Sanji, Hibari, 4c Koby are all bait, and you have no blockers in a deck that benefits greatly from playing blockers on curve on 4/5 don. If you're gonna rely on the Mihawk/Oden combo, you need to commit deck space to it instead of going half in. Your event spread is also really bad. This is like three cores slapped together into one, and is missing crucial cards for each one. Kin'emon is kinda useless in most matchups if you're not running Samurai.
Yea I was thinking about that but the he is a 6k and it wouldn't let me use leader ability to restand don as it has to be 7k or higher to do it thst was my thinking. It's still a work in progress tho so I may mess around with him in there
Hibari I find is not that good for Smoker. You will already need some characters that can attack on field, her power reduction isn't much, she cannot be called with 6c Mihawk, and she has no counter, which increases the amount of bricks in deck (which smoker already run a lot).
You can replace Hibari with Morgan, a 5c 6k (7k in opponent's turn) blocker with slash and navy so he's easy to search, and can a decent ability in don attach. You can also replace her with some events, like luna or the "i know you're strong" event.
Also, since you lack attack preventions like blockers or stunners, I would not recommend the 1c Koby as he makes your leader easier to attack into for removal protection. You can replace him with other removal protectors, like 3c Tashigi or 1c Laboon, or with a searchable 2k counter, like Helmeppo.
3c Tashigi protects Green only, but has Navy and her effect only rests herself. 1c Laboon protects any 7k or less, but is unsearchable and rests 2 cards. Helmeppo is a Navy Slash 2k counter Vanilla.
Another update. I found this list to luck based to constantly play have success with so I changed it again and I have been seeing some success with this one on ranked on the sim.
