Mid Piece: A TCG Journey

Episode 120 "Joining the dark side"17/5/2026

This week on Mid Piece, I discuss why I've decided to pick up Black/Yellow Marshall D. Teach for the OP16 format. I break down what I like about the deck, the strengths and weaknesses I've discovered during testing, and what continues to intrigue me about the leader as I prepare for the new meta. I then take a look at my week in the hobby, including taking part in an OP16 pre-release event and getting more practice games in with Teach as I continue to learn the deck and refine my approach. We also discuss some of the latest card reveals from the upcoming six structure decks and what impact they could have on the game moving forward.

Episode 118 "A Weekend at the Expo" 3/5/2026

This week on Mid Piece, I take a deep dive into my experience at the UK TCG Expo in Birmingham, where I spent the weekend surrounded by trading card games, demos, exhibitors, and, of course, three back to back One Piece Treasure Cups. I talk about everything I got up to across the weekend, the different games I had the chance to try, and what it was like being part of one of the biggest TCG events in the UK calendar. I then break down my performance across all three Treasure Cups, discussing my matchups, results, and the lessons learned from an intense weekend of competitive play. We also take an early look at OP16, discuss the upcoming pre-release events, and highlight some of the cards you'll want to keep an eye out for when building your sealed decks.

Episode 116 "Competitive Integrity" 20/5/2026

This week on Mid Piece, we kick things off by diving into a competitive discussion that has been causing plenty of debate within the One Piece Trading Card Game community. I discuss whether players should be trying to manipulate final standings through opposition score at high-level events, whether splitting prizing is the right move, and the debate around keeping prizing for yourself versus sharing it out. After that, I break down my week in the hobby, talking about taking part in both Pirate Party events and the Grand Battle extended format. To round things off, we answer questions sent in by the listeners and finish another packed week in the world of One Piece Trading Card Game.
