While the deck might be losing some cards after the rotation, there are quite a few cards that fulfill those roles admirably, so the deck will continue to be a potent meta threat
[28] Emchompite notes, Opening Pokmon cards is a gamble, and the cards you get are random, so finding a specific one you want is based on luck
Board wipes (Blasphemous Act, Deadly Tempest), reanimation (Dredge the Mire, Rakshasa Debaser), removal (Terminate, Soul Shatter, Feed the Swarm) this deck does everything a black-red control deck should do before throwing in a good amount of ramp (Mana Geyser, Burnished Hart, Worn Powerstone) and card draw (Theater of Horrors, Ambitions Cost) on top of that
Featured Pokemon include Mega Altaria, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Blaziken
As you might have guessed, these preview cards all fit well into a deck full of Sliver Creatures, but some of them also have cool uses elsewhere as well
This shift towards a simultaneous release model aligns the One Piece Card Game with other major TCGs like Magic: The Gathering
