Description:

Introducing Ice Oni from the Kingdoms of Intrigue (OP04-047) set, a strategic addition to your One Piece trading card game collection. This Common card, despite having a cost of 8 and a power of 0, brings a unique and powerful ability to your blue deck. As a member of the Animal Kingdom Pirates and Plague subtypes, Ice Oni offers a distinctive tactical advantage.

Card Effect:

• [Your Turn]: Ice Oni's effect activates at the end of a battle where it engages with an opponent's Character with a cost of 5 or less. The defeated Character is then placed at the bottom of its owner’s deck. This ability is particularly useful for removing troublesome low-cost characters from the game, effectively bypassing traditional means of disposal and disrupting your opponent's strategy.

Why You Need This Card:

Ice Oni’s ability to remove opponents' Characters by sending them to the bottom of the deck is a game-changer, especially against decks that rely on key low-cost Characters for their strategy. With its high cost of 8, it requires a significant investment but can be a pivotal move in controlling the battlefield. The Animal Kingdom Pirates and Plague subtypes also provide additional synergies with other cards in these categories, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your deck.

Although Ice Oni has a power of 0, its effect compensates by providing a strategic method to handle opponents' Characters, making it a valuable addition for players who prefer tactical depth and control in their gameplay.
