Coach Ken

Congrats! Let’s see that recipe!

If anyone knows I’m going to be at a local and wants to get me something at McDonalds, get me a Daily Double

Best thing on the menu

Get me 2 and I’ll throw the first round I swear

Get me 2 and a Large Vanilla Iced Coffee and I’ll win the whole thing and give you the winner card

#OPTCG #TCG

The best way to learn is in person and getting your reps at Locals! I was lucky enough to win my very first match my first time at my first local, but I didn’t take any Ws for months after 🥲 just keep having a good time and the wins will follow too!

This is more so you don’t forget how much don you have for your turn, I have many a student draw their card and then just jumping into their turn forgeting to add their 2 DON and playing something smaller or swinging for less

It just a good habit

Coach Ken’s Middle of the Night OPTCG Tip

“Organize your cards.”

Where the fuck is my 4th Cavendish? I swear I left it right here.

I finally remembered my password. I’m back to top deck and wreck.

You are in luck, there happens to already BE a one piece tcg game and it’s probably the 5th most popular card game in the States.

So no need to wait on anyone. It’s been here for 2 years now

Coach Ken’s TCG tip of the day

“Read the room.”

Sometimes we play hard. Sometimes we get sweaty.

Sometimes your opponent is 14 and has never played a card game in their lives.

Sometimes it’s OK to dial back the sweat, and tone down the ruthless aggression.

Just TRY and read the room.

Coach Ken’s Hierarchy of Tcg Player Smells

One Piece
Lorcana
Pokemon
Dragon Ball Fusion World
Cardfight Vanguard
Magic

Yugioh

It’s not even a roast or anything thats just how it is.

I have returned from hibernation, and I’m back to top deck and wreck.

I play all the leaders, but my favorite is Iceberg. Gally-La for life!

Congrats! What were you running champ?

Beginner/Intermediate OPTCG coach right here if you need any help or just moral support 😎🤙🏽

The One Piece Tcg is one of the most popular and fast growing in the US at least, find a local card store near you and get your TCG REPS in

Coach Ken’s TCG tip of the day!

“Pack heat in the first page of your binder.”

The first page of your binder is what people will flip to first. So always make a good first impression!

Also is anyone looking for the elusive Chipotle SEC 🤓

#op #optcg #tcg #onepiece #chipotle

My local serves food and brews.

So when I walk in, I try my best to radiate favorite cousin energy 🏃‍♂️

When I leave the local after a string of losses, I tend to radiate drunk uncle energy 🥴

#tcg #onepiece #optcg

They raised supply quite a bit, however depending on the area demand is still high-significantly higher than supply

Coach Ken’s Tip of the day

“Practice losing with Grace.”

There will be times when your opponent has your number.

Admit where you went wrong, learn from your mistakes, and be happy for the opportunity to play.

Don’t give into the salt.

I’ll top next week dont fret ☝🏼

You go to any local for any TCG and you’ll see that there are Sharks 🦈 and there are Fish 🐟.

All the Sharks 🦈 are at nationals right now, so that means the fish 🐟 are left at locals.

And there is no bigger Fish than Coach Ken! So this local is MINE.

Straight to the Top! ☝🏼

#tcg #optcg

This card is interesting as its not leader locked. Too bad its just Germa and not Vinsmoke because then you could have more options by bringing out Raid Suit Sanji after using it as a 2k counter

Google Maebatsu and find his links you’ll find his unofficial simulator

You’d be surprised how many people play one piece/collect one piece and don’t know there is a Sim.

The guy Maebatsu has made the unofficial sim and if the other guy looks him up on the google I’m sure he’ll find it

Coach Ken’s Optcg Tip of the Day!

For those of you finding it hard to end the game.

Ask yourself two questions when playing.

-Can I win if I ignore board and swing for lethal right now?

-Can I survive the next turn if I swing and fail?

If both answers are yes, GO FOR LETHAL.

Here’s a real quick lethal puzzle to start the year.

What’s the play here?

Happy New Year Everyone!

#optcg #onepiecetcg #tcg

Last OPTCG tip of the year!

"Your mulligan can ALWAYS get worse."

We've all been there

Tossing a half decent hand, or even tossing a good hand for the "Silver bullet card" you need, just to get BRICKED UP

Learn when and what to mulligan for, and accept that you might just draw an even WORSE hand

This is lit 🔥

Coach Ken’s OPTCG Tip of the Day!

I do this loud and proud to start every turn so I don’t forget to restand or draw!

-Annouce how many DONs are up on your turn now
-Annouce that everything is active
-Annouce that you are drawing to start your turn

Build these habits, and I’ll see you at the top!☝🏼
