Tuesday Tidbits: Holiday Giveaway!

Posted on by Standard

Today’s post includes a spotlight on Trunks’ Slam, a glance at decks that are trending, and a gift bag giveaway! Click below for more info:

1. Decks on the Rise  

  • Orange Retribution Wheelo
  • Red Ascension Trunks
  • Namekian Radiant Gohan*
  • Blue Tag Team Goku (Ev0)
  • Namekian Restored Cell (Awakening)

*or Gohan Anything, really.  

2. Slammin’ 

Trunks has made great strides since the release of Awakening, and his presence in the environment continues to increase. Trunks has a wide variety of Named cards, including the recently printed Trunks’ Knee Bash.

While Knee Bash offers versatile board removal, Trunks’ most powerful tool is arguably Trunks’ Slam. At worst, it serves as a high tempo AT +3 with +1 immediate anger (and is considered Styled for the effects of Ruthless, Rampaging, et al).

In the current environment, the ability to end combat is a powerful tactic against many top-performing decks!

However, it also carries the tremendous upside of forcing your opponent to pass. For aggressive decks, this effect is a huge boon – often acting as a free “super skip” to sequence around anti-anger effects, or a simple path out of combat (after having unloaded multiple cards from your hand). Meanwhile, more controlling decks can utilize Trunks’ slam with consistent block effects like Orange Steady Drill and Trunks – Frenzied in order to end combat at will.

  18. Woo! Trunks is definitely a fun mp stack with a lot of play style options but i personally prefer the classic sword slash as his named card. 6 card banishment is always nice.

  24. It’s good to see Trunks getting some love in this meta, since his first iteration had such a hard time seeing play. What’s in the goodie bag I wonder???

  34. My personal favorite so far is a homebrew Red Ascension Hercule that wins through MPPV. If it doesn’t win, it looses at level 4 w/ 3-4 anger. I’ve won a fair share of my games w/ it.
