Play the matchup.
Prove the theory.
A personal lab for turning theory, testing and ranked games into repeatable decisions. RG Luffy OP16.5 is the first and only live deck space. G Mihawk is next in development, with more decks arriving as the application evolves.

The lab will
answer back.
RIK4 is the competitive memory behind the Companion. She connects games, decklists, matchup theory and original player notes so a testing session can teach the player, the coach and the whole team.
& Knowledge Archive
Not a generic chatbot and not a replacement for experience. RIK4 is a lightweight conversational layer grounded in the evidence created inside the lab.
PRIVATE COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCEAsk the lab.
Choose a question to see how RIK4 will answer once the AI layer is activated. Every answer will point back to the games, notes and lists that support it.
Walk into coaching with a case file.
The player arrives with more than a decklist and a vague feeling. The coach sees the sample, the habits and the decisions that deserve attention before the session starts.

RG LUFFY
OP16.5 · 25 game sample
Start with the games that lasted beyond the first closing window.
The example sample shows disciplined early resource management, but weaker conversion once the game reaches repeated 9 and 10 DON!! turns. Review the losses where board advantage did not become a clean two turn clock.

Ask RIK4 + Coach Mode
A lightweight AI assistant inside the site and Discord, grounded in permitted team data.
Private intelligence only works when the player stays in control.
- RIK4 must show which games, notes or decklist versions support an answer.
- Personal notes remain private unless the player explicitly shares them with a team or coach.
- Small samples are labelled as weak evidence. RIK4 asks for more testing instead of pretending certainty.
- The original comment remains visible. The system can summarise it, never rewrite the player’s history.
Play the matchup.
Let the lab remember.
R4Valerio “HZOV4”

I am Valerio, better known as HZOV4. I am from Rome and I have been playing One Piece Card Game since OP02.
I like decks that reward planning, matchup knowledge and small decisions made well. My routine is simple: study the theory, play a lot of ranked games, take notes and keep improving the list.
BY Luffy has been my favourite deck. Nami is the deck I have brought to events most often lately, but now I am fully committing to RG Luffy for OP16.5.
Results
It is not much, but it is what it is. Three Top 64 finishes are a decent start, never the destination. I am honest about where I am, and I am aiming much higher.




Back to back.
Two Serial Yamato wins.
The second title ended with a Nami mirror. I brought Sky Island because it gave me the tools I wanted for that exact fight.
5c Luffy kept the pressure high. Eight total copies of 7c Robin made the mirror much more consistent.Original result post ↗

Nami returned with the Thriller Bark package for one of the largest fields in Europe.
8c Gecko Moria is OP14 104. The yellow 4c Perona is OP14 111.

4c Luffy OP12 015 and 2c Luffy OP01 024, both in alternate art.
OP16.5 LIST UPDATE · 11 AUG 2026Four Nika buildOPEN THEORY NOTE
Current core: 0 Bonney · 4 Nika · 4 Brook.
Mirror and Mihawk demand more Nika.
7c Nika is a premium answer in the RG mirror and against Mihawk builds using 7c Shanks and 9c Mihawk. Hard drawing four Nika and four Brook is worth more than spending early DON!! on Bonney searches.
Stay at four life.
Nika leaves the leader at a 5k base for the turn. Preserve every early life so repeated Nika hands remain playable and the opponent cannot force you away from the Nika line.
Spend less DON!! searching.
Minimise early searches and leave maximum DON!! active to protect life. 1c Nami remains worthwhile because she improves Nika; 1c Bonney is usually too expensive unless the curve is missing.
