Knowledge Cell 1st-ish Place Tournament Report


Round 1 L Vs Tommy Scheibel Combative Goku

I entered turn 1 and was able to do some damage to Tommy and I end combat with 4 anger on level 1, a 5 life card lead, and that's it. Tommy enters and I draw 2 freestyle cards and Nappa ally. Sweeping blast shuts my hand off and fierce attack and a bunch of other attacks follow. I lose 40 cards down and completely unable to retaliate.


Round 2 W Vs Derek Faraji Ruthless Mystic Gohan

Derek put up a really good fight in this match. He saw all 3 Red Relaxations early and before I could get Nappa ally into play. The game was close as I drew multiple dead cards a few times he had entered but I was able to weather the storm and hold him off long enough to level to Cell 3 and start banishing a lot of cards. Skillful Parry did a lot of work this game.


Round 3 W Vs Axel Bailey Manipultive Broly

Another close one. Axel kept throwing a bunch of 2 anger attacks and I never had the right blocks for any of them. Broly level 2 banished Namek Dragon Ball 2 early so I wasn’t stopping MPPV with that. The 2nd combat I drew 2 Unleashed and I made sure to use them before Broly level 3's constant effect could punish me for it. Eventually I was able to start pushing damage on Cell level 3 and using Namekian Max Wills to keep him on 4 so he couldn't MPPV. He made a fatal error in passing to me and a timely Namek Dragon Ball 7 put me in the place to win.


Round 4 W Vs Henry Johnson Energetic Raditz

Henry won the roll and drops Orange Encouragement. Then passes to me and searches another Orange Encouragement and Orange Possession Drill. I stayed on Cell level 1 for a long time to have that guaranteed lower anger 2. After I dropped him with Namek Dragon Ball 2 from Raditz Level 3 to 2 he had used all of his resources. Max Wills were able to control the anger before he ever made it to level 4. 


Top 4 W Vs Derek Faraji Ruthless Gohan

The only game I won by DBV all day. The winning play was holding Unleashed for him to use his own to go to level 3. He played his and then I played mine and dropped him to level 1. I had been holding it for multiple combats. At this point the game swung in my favor and he struggled to find any real damage, then I DBV’d out of nowhere.


Finals W moral victory Vs the gym

Tommy didn’t find it necessary to play the finals match. Maybe because he absolutely blew me away the first time we played so he went to the gym instead. He probably would have Sweeping Blasted me into oblivion this game too. So we split the money and he forfeited to me.

Overall I had fun in the tournament. Tommy opened the gates of Hell round 1 but I was able to rebound and win a lot of games. Namekian Maximum Will was probably the card of the day as it was relevant in almost every game I played. Thank you Derek for hosting and I look forward to participating in more of your events.

Spoiler: Black Android Visage

 Hey everyone! Here is a spoiler for the upcoming set: Black Android Visage.  This card works as a fun alternative to Black Command's Power that is intended to be used with the new Black Ominous Mastery. Even before you get to the trait this card reads pretty strong with a potential Level Up from the mastery at play. MP's like Goku Black, Raditz, and Frost will definitely enjoy having a few of these in their deck. Especially Frost, who can tutor this card on level 3 for a Level Up. Lastly, the Android Trait gives even higher value for a potential -2 to your opponent's hand and a Level Up. For a single action that could be game changing. Luckily there are not a ton of MPs with direct synergy but Cell and Android 16 could work. This card being villains only means it is searchable for A16's powers as well. But then you're playing A16 - a heavy burden to your ability of winning. Thanks for reading and I'll see you guys on OCTGN!

Top-Tier Privilege is a Myth: Op-Ed by Krillin

Hey everybody, it's your local law enforcement agent K-Dawg here. Lately I've been hearing a lot of criticism about this awesome Fan Z game. It seems like a lot of people think certain cards are unfair, or too "sacky." Well with all this time I've had on paid leave, I thought I'd write out some advice to help you guys have fun and win. My first tip?     Git gud, snowflakes.     Look, I get it. Combat can be scary. Your opponent is going to throw a lot of attacks and you might take a lot of damage. I hear it all the time: "I lost because I just didn't draw any blocks." Boo-hoo. I'm out here just like you guys, having to find ways to stay alive. I've gone whole games without drawing blocks. You know what I did? I manned up. I got gud. I played my own attacks as blocks and gained thirty anger before my opponent could respond.     See this is your first mistake.  Why play blocks at all? They're only good some of the time. Me, I realized t...

Spoiler: Red Barrier

      Hey everyone! Here is a new spoiler for the upcoming set: Red Barrier. This is a pretty decent card for Red Relentless decks. It can be tutored by Red Surgical Strike and in tandem with Red Reverse you can have a fairly devastating lineup of mods. Anyways, enjoy and I hope you are looking forward to more spoilers as much as I am!  -Anthony
