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.

After that, I break down my week in the hobby, including my regular locals testing with Green Dracule Mihawk, before recapping all three Grand Battle Extended Format events and how those went.

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.

Episode 115 "Too Strong, Too Fast?" 13/5/2026

This week on Mid Piece, we dive into one of the biggest conversations currently happening in the One Piece Trading Card Game community....Power creep. I give my thoughts on whether the game is moving too fast, why Purple Enel feels incredibly strong right now, and why some players already believe OP16 could push the deck out of the meta before it’s had time to fully settle. We also take a look at my week in the hobby as I continue testing Green Dracule Mihawk at locals, break down some of the newly revealed cards coming in OP16 this June, and finish things off by answering questions sent in from the community.

Episode 114 "Locking in Mihawk" 6/5/2026

This week on Mid Piece, I break down my final testing process for Green Dracule Mihawk as I prepare for the Treasure Cups at the end of May. I go through the tweaks I’ve been making to find the right build, discuss two different versions of the deck I tested across two locals, and share what I learned from both events. I also talk about regional prep and what players should be doing in the lead up to big events, before wrapping things up by answering questions sent in from listeners. If you’re testing for upcoming events or trying to make Dracule Mihawk work, this episode is for you. Don't miss out on the excitement and in-depth discussions of Mid Piece: A TCG Journey Podcast.
