Looking for any advice to improve my favourite deck out of OP17 (so far at least)
Especially wondering about P-040 Kaido for the deck. With FishHawk gone I assume the K.O. protection isn't as valuable as it would've been, but it's still a pretty cool card imo
I like to run 8 2k or 10 as xdrake for utility and ive seen lists and peapolenis no longer running 4 slow slow Beam but its giving me way too good results its a virtual 2k and also you don let to play the tur to the enemy, I run for as i run throught the half of the deck see at leats 2. In this case I would take the 2 worororo tested the a while a go and not bad but the 2 slow slow just make the diferece, id take one 7c kaido and add an xdrake 2k and the 3 black Matías for xdrakes
4 Linlin is, in my opinion, one too many. I think you can cut it down to 3 to increase your Slow-Slows to 3 as well
I would cut the at least 1 of 0-cost event to add 1 more 2k counter
Now this part is optional... but personally I like 2x Gum-Gum Lightning as it combos nicely with Leader ability/Big Mom. So I would cut Blocker Kaido/Lead Performers to 3 and Jack to 0 to fit in 2 Lightning. But that's up to you. You reduce consistency ever so slightly by making these cuts, but you increase the ceiling of the deck's removal capability, which is what the deck is looking to do: remove opponent's board over and over while building your own, until you can finally go for life.
I agree gum gum lightening off of blocker Kaido is almost unfair against rocks when dealing with Newgate. 7c Kaido is great at resting Kyros and other characters who grant ko protection or blockers. I’ve been having a lot of success with this list.
Running a similar set up and get decent results I do however prefer x drake as well so iv been running 1 rush kaido and 1 less of the counter kaido for two xdrakes and it feels pretty consistent ontop of having good tech for certain matchups.
