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.

  2. I really like how the new masteries have improved the game. Overall it’s really making it so everybody can play and win using all 3 win conditions as opposed to just playing one or maybe 2.

  31. And they say the game is dying!! Look at that swag and bring on Set 8! Also gonna say playing against Trunks and having to be cautious of Trunks Slam makes you really think about using them VTP”s nothing more annoying than walking into a block and Trunks Slam

  50. Been making Trunks decks since the 2nd set. Glad to see that he’s gotten stronger with every set, card by card. By the way, when will you take my money for the Z Warrior Christmas time playmat???
