Cards Of The Week #29

Franky (OP10-090)

Franky may not be as good as PRB02 Marco but he's close in my opinion. The main difference isn't even the effect, rather the fact that Marco could be thrown in in most blue decks if you'd like, but Franky here needs you to run Dressrosa characters to reap that replacement summon.

The other annoyance is that the character you revive will have to get played rested, so the appeal of blocking with this guy and gaining another blocker to use that turn goes out the window. Still, despite the limitations this is a solid card for a black Dressrosa deck. A blocker with a revive effect is nice but the conditions will require you to plan your deck skeletons accordingly.

Monkey. D. Luffy (PRB02-005)

Maybe I'm going crazy or missing something but no matter how many times I'm reading this card it literally is just a worse OP07 Bonney. The entire effect spelled out here is Bonney's DON!! freeze effect in a worse yet roundabout way.

You leader has to be multicolored, your opponent can't have over 7 DON!! and this is a once, on summon effect just like OP07 Bonney. If you could somehow gain this effect more than once then yeah, it would have been a different story but that's not the case.

This is still a good effect but besides lower cost range and weaker attack, it is again a lesser card than Bonney. The only mega minor situational advantage I can think of is if your opponent isn't resting any DON!! to play cards and just slapping them on to characters or the leader. But even then, if you don't have a rested DON!! to select with Bonney then you could just freeze a character. Or will your opponent not have any character on the board down too?

Anyways, perhaps combined with Bonney this could be a deadly combinantion to lock out your opponent from playing the cards they really want to play but it would only be a very temporary setback me thinks.
