7 DBs, 7 Tidbits: Win a Box!

Posted on by Standard

Hello everyone! Check out the latest in Z news below:
1. Thanks to everyone for participating in last weekend’s Launch Events, we hope they were a blast!

2. The ARG circuit continues to provide off-season action, and you can find the full schedule here. As noted in the CRD, new releases in the DBZ TCG are eligible for tournament play one week after release. Starting this Saturday, Perfection is sure to make a splash on the ARG meta! Next up: Richmond (March 5th) and Detroit (March 19th).

3. Concept of the moment: Endurance is even better than you think. When evaluating the overall usefulness of a card, don’t underestimate just how much value is added by Endurance. Though an increasing amount of decks seek to prey on prevention, Endurance is still worth its weight in gold. During your next few matches, consider how many times you draw a card (and play it) vs. how many times it is discarded as damage (or not effective when played).

4. A frequently asked question from Perfection: When can Master Roshi Level 1 be activated?

Roshi’s Defense Power can only be activated against an attack, and you must have a Setup or Drill to in your hand to activate it. You would not be able to activate the Defense Power simply to gain 2 anger.

The CRD will be updated to Perfection in the near future.

5. Card on the rise: Defiant Challenge. It has obvious synergy with Master Roshi, but many other MPs are beginning to leverage this powerful UR from Evolution. Frieza combo decks were already running it, but the addition of Overwhelming Power has added further legitimacy to the archetype as a whole. Android 18’s influence is steadily increasing (Tag Team anyone?!), and Defiant Challenge combines with Android 18’s Toss to form a ruthlessly efficient search package.

6. You may have noticed a poster for Dragon Ball Z: Vengeance in your Launch Kit. We’re still quite a while out from releasing any info, but Broly looms large!

7. Which Perfection MP have you been playing the most? Sound off in the comment section below, and your name will be entered to win a box of Perfection (one comment per person). The winner will be announced on Friday – post soon!

  2. Playing Cell of course! But gotta try him with Red or a “lower tier” mastery just to shake things up and make things spicy. I really like him in Red Enraged; the draw engine is insane.

  6. I’ve been playing and building Yamcha decks, and while I have to practice my combos, I plan on making him earn me a World’s Invite!

    Yamcha for President!

  10. Love the mention on endurance in #3. I remember the convo I had with Richie before the Salem Regional about the very subject. I think I had close to 50 endurance in my Black Ginyu. Love the new set. A total home run on all aspects!!

  12. I’ve been playing Red Enraged Yamcha. The amount of possible attacks in a single combat can be staggering. I’m also using Defiant Challenge to put Yamcha’s Rescue back in my deck then get a Pesky Barrage to keep attacking! Defiant Challenge is also great for putting Pesky Barrages back in the deck to fetch or letting me reuse his Expert Assistance. So glad I already have my playset of Challenges.

  16. I’m playing Yamcha the most at the moment. I always loved Yamcha The Amazing in the old game for its wonderful discard pile tool boxing, and Yamcha – On The Move echoing that card is something I appreciate a ridiculous amount. I wanna play him in everything I can! Of course, his other levels are nice too, but who doesn’t like it when their favorite cards are (for the most part) reprinted?

  17. Hands down Yamcha . I’ve been toying with a blue Yamcha variant using dominance to push to level 2 making energy a cost less while also abusing his set up from hand and blue draining blast with overpowering attack and a few select allies , it’s been very promising in testing .

    I have also been toying with orange Yamcha for the obvious synergy he has with low cost energy attacks and his ability to not only hand pic cards from your deck but gain stages with orange gathering . He has the ability to shit down those super aggressive e decks and force them to play your game .

    I’ve also been toying with a deck just for fun ,

    Orange adept 16 with the only styled attack being orange charge , giving you the ability to stack your deck for a possible dragonball victory , and using 16s tranquility to force opponents into disadvantageous combats . And using true power now with the ability to run 6 different hand manipulation effects 🙂

  24. Loving the ability of Roshi as a whole, and have made a red enraged, waiting to test that. Played cell the most, he’s brutal when he lifts off.

  26. We have been playing yamcha the most because of his amazing named cards. He is pretty straight forward playing but still is fun. Been testing so much love the set! !!

  30. I’ve been liking Cell in everything but mainly Namekian Restored, Saiyan Empowered, and Enraged. Yamcha has been doing work for me in Enraged, Protective and even Tag Team.

    Still tweaking yamcha is showing a lot of promise. Also love this set as a whole

  37. Built an Orange Yamcha for my friend so he can start playing the game (he’s a Yamcha fan… I know… weird), but I have actually really enjoyed playing it myself… I just might not give it to him.

  38. I’ve been giving Yamcha a shot and he’s pretty fun with all the energy based tricks he has up his sleeve! Considering giving Roshi a shot too.

  39. Namekian Cell has been fun to play and build and there just seems to be so many options on how to run it. Also while not technically a perfection MP, new black Tien has been some of the most fun I’ve had in this game

  42. Haven’t gotten to play much yet, but I do have a Cell deck that I am really enjoying and look to continue to test and improve on to hopefully have as solid as possible for OP season

  47. I know he wasn’t released in Perfection, but I really think Hero Vegeta should count for this question. That said, if I had to pick one I would have to say Roshi. But that’s just because I loved the character before hand.

  50. Assuming that the contest is available to be won by an Australian – I’ve been testing with Roshi a bunch, some interesting results too.
