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!

  4. I’ve been playing Roshi..I tried blue first…but found it too cloggy….orange is pretty nice…but I’m working on a black roshi because something about it just seams right to me!! I was super excited when roshi was announced and I’m having a blast trying to figure out how to make him epic!! Red roshi seems interesting too!! Rainbow Roshi!!

  9. Cell is my jam. It’s great to see one of my favorite characters be competitive. He gets into all kinds of shenanigans.

  11. It has to be Roshi. This old man wrecks. Awesome images, awesome named cards. And the fact he can beat cell makes me laugh. I think he is the most interesting character created thus far. The overall utility his stack brings is huge. #teamroshi

  13. I am loving Yamcha, I have been waiting for him since the first set. With how all the cards featuring him as either dead, or playing baseball it was just amazing. I mean the feels of your opponent when they are taken down by Yamcha.

  14. I like all the mps. I know everybody is down about 16 but I like his ability to run hero/villain restricted cards. He is my favorite just because of 6 spheres.

  16. My favorite MP of the set is Master Roshi, simply because he has been one of my favorite character in the series even since I started watching it many years ago.

  20. Working with Android 16! There is so much potential here, but finding the right mastery is tough!

  24. I have been using Yamcha he is such a versatile personality. You compare them with almost any mastery and he can come out on top. Thank you panini for redeeming Yamcha.

  25. I have to say that either Roshi or Yamcha are my favorites in this set and that Android 16 is intriguing.

  28. I explored Yamcha right off the bat, but now I am loving Roshi. I am having fun with Blue Protective Tempo.

  29. I have been playing Master Roshi since he is my favorite character and personality specially since he goes well with my orange vegeta deck in which case i just need to switch out personalities and a few key cards.

  31. Black perceptive energy heavy Yamaha. It plays like krillin and powers up so easily it’s not even funny.

  38. Orange Adaptive Yamcha has worked well so far. Plenty of free energy attacks once you get to lvl 2, and plenty of styled blocks that gain you stages in the process.

  46. I’ve been playing Cell the most. He shines in truly every style and with every mastery, but as an avid Saiyan player, I go crazy with the level advancing.

    • I have to agree. Yamcha definitely has the dominant kit this MP set. I really enjoy his versatility and viability in each style. He isn’t prohibitively narrow like Hero Vegeta, which hopefully Panini acknowledges (I believe they have, considering the cards released with his kit specifically in mind)
