Charles Surber
Competitive TCG Writer
Charles Surber has been competing in One Piece TCG tournaments since the English launch, reaching top-8 finishes at regional events. He covers competitive meta, deck matchups, and the practical gap between theory-crafting and actual tournament play. His writing has a dry, slightly sardonic tone — he'll tell you the tier-1 deck is overcrowded, when a budget build is genuinely viable, and exactly what the community is getting wrong about the current meta. He believes the best TCG content is written by players who have lost enough games to know what actually matters.
