Dragon Ball/Z-Fighter Archetype

[jdoug2000]

Hey all, this is my first time posting on these forums. I've been wanting to make a deck type using the dragon balls and the fighters from DBZ for quite some time, and think I finally managed to make them somewhat balanced with the current TCG metagame. They may be a little powerful, but I tried to keep it fairly balanced. The Dragon Ball engine focuses on getting the 7 Dragon Ball spells into the graveyard to Special Summon Shenron, who allows for one of three powerful chain-free effects. The Z-Fighter list is not exhaustive, but I tried to get most of them in, up through the end of the cell saga. Super Sayians are similar to masked heroes, requiring one of the proper materials and the spell to Fusion Summon. Respectful critique and comments are welcome.

DBZ is cool

DBZ is cool

You are required to actually post a review of the cards. Just saying "cool" isn't enough.

 

DBZ isn't really something I like. Non-stop yelling with shirtless guys? I'd rather watch WWE.

 

Anyway, Kamehameha seems like an OTK card that specifically counters Kozmos and other floaters due to negating the effects of those destroyed monsters. It's actually really relevant in the metagame now. However, other monsters you control are free to attack, which leads this card to being really sacky. It may get limited for the same reason Raigeki is.

 

Final Flash is pretty much a slightly more conditional Harpies Feather Duster. That's all I can say about it.

 

Super Sayain Transformation is broken. It's a cheap OTK card that counts itself as a fusion summon. I think that it's overpowered considering the fusion monsters' effects, such as doubling battle damage. Sure Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon does it, but it's allowed to get away with it because it doesn't have the means to be summoned during the battle phase. Make it more like Mask Change where the summon does not count as a fusion summon, reduce the fusion monsters' levels, and then make them leave the field(referring to how Super Sayain is a temporary thing and isn't a permanent transformation).

Changes incorporated to cards listed above.

[TF2_The_Scout]

Something more like this would work for Transformation.

 

"Shuffle 1 "Z-Fighter" you control into your deck; Special Summon 1 "Super Saiyan" fusion monster from your extra deck that has the same attribute as that monster, but is 4 or less levels higher. Return it to your extra deck during the end phase of this turn."

 

That seems more balanced to me. It can still be a Quickplay and do what it does. The problem is the fusion monsters it can summon. Give them a nerf. Quickplay cards and traps that summon your boss monsters need to be handled extremely carefully. The card itself isn't the problem, but the monsters it goes into is.

[otakus_are_gay]

The cards are cool too

[jdoug2000]

Bump

 

Re-worked several of the cards to make them a little more balanced. Changed Super Saiyan Transformation to be temporary (returns to ED at the end of the next turn), imposed a limit of 1 "Z-Fighter Attack" activation per turn, added a new card (Z-Fighter Attack Special Beam Cannon), and altered some card effects and monster attacks to work a little better.
