Kaido OP17-058 Leader
Purple · 5 Life · 5,000 power · Special · Standard
[When Attacking]/[On Your Opponent's Attack] [Once Per Turn] DON!! −1: Give up to 1 of your opponent's Characters −2000 power during this turn.
How to play Kaido
Ramp to 10 DON on time with Yamato and King, then stabilize behind 12K Kaido blockers. Streaky if the ramp misses.
Beats: Rocks.D.Xebec, Luffy (OP-13)
Struggles against: Luffy & Ace, Sabo
Mulligan: Yamato and Mamaragan in the opening hand.
Go first or second?
Either: choose for the matchup. 25% going first and 22% going second: too close to matter, so choose for the matchup.
- Neither the extra card and DON!! going second nor the first attack going first moves its win rate much, so pick based on the opponent.
