Originally, Videl wasn’t going to get anything this go around. I mean, did we really need an anti-Majin personality? However, pretty much every time we asked the community what they wanted to see in the virtual set, Videl kept popping up. So how do we take a personality whose whole shtick is being anti-Majin and make her playable in a field that really won’t see too many of those guys? Well that’s simple, just make EVERYBODY Majins!
Videl has an amazing power that instantly opens up a new “Heroic” decktype that would be unthinkable to play when, right off the bat, half the cards in it do nothing against half the personalities. Now Videl can safely pack a few Heroic Blocks or Heroic Power Detonations that are guaranteed not to be dead cards against certain decks. Enter combat with Heroic Drill and finish off your opponent with a Heroic Power Shot. Hell, even a Baba Witch Viewing Drill will work in the deck.
Keep in mind that the “Villain/Majin effect” that Videl creates is always active, even when Videl goes to higher levels or has an ally take over combat for her.
Check back on Friday when we reveal Videl Lv. 4! Later BroZ!
i see this completely wrecking all the ally cards you just made…even against a hero ally deck…all her attacks are doing +1 to +10 life cards…
This could be very interesting to make a deck with. Can’t wait for the level four.
At least there’s no way to have a Majin ally w/ Videl that you could South Kai out, right?….. right?
Oh wait, we made Majin Vegeta a Rogue… But at least it’ll only be +2LC unless its an ally deck. Not too bad.

Chippy… We have a copy of the Majin Buu saga rulebook on the site here if you need it: http://retrodbzccgcom.fatcow.com/2012/02/10/buu-saga-rule-book/
I’ll just leave it open on this page here: http://retrodbzccgcom.fatcow.com/2012/02/10/buu-saga-rule-book/48-to-49/
Touche. Totally brain farted about the Majin personalities rule. =p

I think it would’ve been funny if we could’ve gotten the power to work with “M”. Majin Videl!
My only concern is does this effect override a hero personality’s alignment?
It only affects cards played by Videl. It doesn’t actually change your opponent’s alignment.
Was there a particular situation or dilemma you had in mind?
hmmm, guess i was wrong. i thought there was a card that had one effect if your opponent was a hero and different effect if they were villain, and i wanted to know if Videl could get both effects to go off, or just the villain effect
…but i realize now that card i was thinking of is Foreboding Evidence, and that obviously just affects just your MP’s alignment.
I would say that if there was some effect that did one thing if they were a hero and another thing if they were a villain, you would get to use both as Videl. Her power as it’s worded adds the villain to their type for Videl’s card effects, not replace. =)

Oh my God, when I was thinking of a new Videl when I first brought it to you and Garret I was thinking of a card that would allow Videl to turn her opponent into Majins….and well here we are. I’ll be playing remaking my Videl deck now, thank you guys so much
So I am new here and I got two quick questions. First one is are the virtual cards legal for tournaments held by this site (Like the one held at Gen Con)? Second how would I use this? Do I just print the image off and tape/glue it on to a card? Ok so it ended up being three questions sorry but help would be nice. Thank you!
Unless otherwise noted, the Virtual cards are legal for Retro DBZ events. You would make a print out of the card and slip it into a card sleeve with another DBZ card to give it the correct weight/size etc. Here is a tutorial on how to do so: http://retrodbzccgcom.fatcow.com/2012/06/25/orange-star-high-school-proxy-cards-101/
Cool. Thanks for the tutorial link
I’m looking for a little clarification on Videl as it relates to interaction with West City. Since West City adds +4 Allies in play for card effects and Videl, the Hellion considers these as villains for card effects this would create a damage modifier correct? I know West City doesn’t create an alignment of any sort for these allies but Videl does through her power so to me it seems correct. Just want to get an official ruling if possible. Thanks.
Josh, Geoff or Garrett have answered this before. I’m not sure which one of them and it was either on their facebook page or mine. The answer they gave was that videl does not gain the benefits of west city.
Thanks for the response Darryl. I must have just missed the explanation on the ruling you are referring to and couldn’t seem to find it on the pages you referenced. I’m not the best when it comes to specific rules so I guess I am just looking for a little more clarity around why that interaction doesn’t work? If you don’t mind.
