How to play Luffy & Ace
Search for the 4-DON combo: Luffy OP12-015 into Sanji into another Luffy, three attackers at once. Keep DON up for defensive events.
Beats: Charlotte Pudding, Shanks, Elbaph Luffy, Kaido
Struggles against: Luffy (OP-13), Yellow Enel, Kalgara
Mulligan: Monkey.D.Luffy and Demon Aura Nine Sword Style Asura Blades Drawn Dead Man's Game in the opening hand.
Go first or second?
Either: choose for the matchup. 60% going first and 61% 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.
