If you’ve played Magic: The Gathering for long, you’ve probably lost a game to your own deck. Statistically speaking (and yes, we made up the stats), 36.1147% of all Magic: The Gathering games experience a loss of enjoyment from having your hand flooded by Land cards, pitching any joy you had at the outset into oblivion. It’s a problem that haunts even the best-built decks and can drain the fun out of what should’ve been a great match. Now imagine a game where that never happens. No land flood. No mana screw. Just strategy, synergy, and pirate shenanigans. Well, let me introduce you to the One Piece Trading Card Game. Maybe you’ve seen One Piece pop up on Netflix, watched a few episodes or the live-action season, and thought to yourself, “Okay, I get the hype now.” But what you might not know is that the card game based on the series is one of the most refreshingly well-designed TCGs out there. It takes the best elements of your favorite trading card games like deckbuilding, engaging combat, and meaningful decisions, wrapping them in a system that feels both familiar and entirely new. Turns are fast. Matches are tight. You win or lose by a single turn. Sometimes even a single counter. And every game feels like a mechanically unique duel between captains, not mana source RNG. And the best part? The community at 2ulu’s is stacked with welcoming players, creative deckbuilders, and just enough chaos to make every Tuesday night feel like a party on the Grand Line. So if you're looking for a game that’s deep, fast, and fun (without the heartbreak of top-decking yet another Land card), join us. We play One Piece. You should too.

Hi, I’m Tek! I'm a self-taught card alter artist working with acrylics, ink, and watercolor pencil. I specialize in detailed, hand-painted TCG card alters, and right now I focus mostly on Magic: The Gathering, Flesh and Blood, and Grand Archive, though I’m always excited to explore new games and creative challenges. I’m meticulous with color and pattern matching, and I take pride in crafting pieces that blend seamlessly with the original card while adding something unique. I’ll have premade alters for sale during the convention, and I’ll also be taking commissions for custom work. I’ll be painting live at my table, so feel free to stop by and watch some paint dry. Outside of painting, I’m building a custom TTRPG system and playing Battletech on the weekends. Come say hi, and check out more of my work and commission info at my Linktree.
