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!

  1. I don’t have any Perfection yet, but I started mocking up a Blue Protective Android 16. Excited for Yamcha, too!

  3. Cell. No matter how you play it, each style and mastery has something to bring to the table with his powers and named cards.

  5. Quickly built up a Yamcha deck the day of launch, which has been just so much stronger, and funner to play than anything else I’ve had for awhile. 🙂

  6. I’ ve been playing a lot of Yamcha. It’s great to see arguably the most underwhelming Z Fighter in the series get his due.

  8. Oh goodness…I have to admit, I was disappointed enough by 16 to try out Cell. Now don’t think I’m not going to find a viable 16 deck….it’s just going to take me a little longer than I anticipated is all =)

  10. It’s Yamcha, though I love all of them at the moment, it really feels like one of the best cycles of MPs atm. Yamcha getting a sweep with a tonne of Red cards or just hitting like a truck in orange, he feels like he can do anything. As long as that anything is energy beats haha

  11. My absolute favorite Perfection MP of the moment would have to Namekian Restored Cell!
    The deck is pure physical beats with literally no setups or drills, and between mixing and matching cards from all 5 sets, I’ve found it can be even as aggressive as my Saiyan Empowered Cell! The ability to keep drawing cards from places and making more actions happen while stage locking and leveling between 3 and 4, Cell truly is Perfection!

  15. Been playing Cell, utilizing his speedy leveling, built in anger hate, and banishment to lay down heavy beats in Saiyan!

  18. I’m curious about A16 and his ability to run many Hero/Villans only cards. There’s gonna be some crazy new deck ideas from these new MPs. Keep them coming Panini!

  28. Master Roshi. Seems great for a stall DB in the throw back way Trunks Blue DB used to be in the old game.

  29. Definitely Cell. The power combo of using cards like Cell’s Draining Attack or I’ll Dig Your Grave, for example, to advance quickly to level 3 and then hopping between 3 and 4 each combat is absolute perfection (much like Cell and this release.) I knew this was the new MP for me when I saw his preview a few weeks ago. Thanks for an awesome version of Cell!

  30. I will be playing Red 18 with my devious challenges. However my box is in route and upon opening will be running Protective Roshi. Working on The Million Dollar man or should I say deck Devious android 16.

  31. I didn’t want to sell out, but I think Yamcha’s going to become my most-played set 5 MP. Actually getting to use Orange Gathering aside, he’s just insanely good. I’ll at least build him aggressively. Orange Adaptive Yamcha all the way!

  34. I’ve been using Android 16 the most so far. He’s not complicated and had a ton of versatility.

  42. Yamcha! I have been waiting for him since the game first released, and I won’t be giving up on him anytime soon.

  43. I have really enjoyed playing around with android 16. His ability to use both hero and villain only cards is awesome.

  46. Yamcha is doing a lot of work in my local group, including my new Blue Yamcha that I am really enjoying!
