An Angry God – A Kami Decklist From Gen Con 2013

So keeping with tradition, I of course built my deck for the Gen Con event the night before and played it based completely on theory with no playtesting to refine the deck (or even if it would work). I won one match. But on the plus side, I was never steamrolled and some of the other matches were darn close which makes me believe that the deck is at least close to a more optimal/playable build. But all in all, it was fun to play this fun combo deck with the Virtual Kami.

This deck has two win conditions: 1) Most Powerful Personality Victory through using Advanced Basics or 2) Kami’s Lv. 4 power via Goku’s Farewell. Once you get out five battlegrounds or locations, you can immediately start jumping levels with Kami’s Lv. 1 power and repeat with Advanced Basics. If you catch your opponent with no energy blocks, you could easily jump to Level 4 with a single Piccolo and Heroes Gather or some Krillin’s Concentration at hand.

Because Advanced Basics removes itself from the game, you need to be absolutely sure that it’s going to be successful before using it. This is where Majin Buu’s New House becomes your MVP location. Confrontation, Black Thought Focus and a hand full of other hand disruption cards will help you get your attack off, but Majin Buu’s New House combos incredibly well with Black Energy Swirl (made more effective since a good chunk of energy defenses have “energy” right in the title), which you should be sensei’ing in every game. I use Piccolo Sensei because you don’t want to lose certain locations and/or any Advanced Basics. Fortunately all this anti-hand/block tech will serve you well should you need to win through Kami Lv. 4.

To keep alive in the long run, Majin Babidi’s Ship and Gravity Chamber will be your friend. World Tournament will also keep the ever popular ally decks at bay. Play City in Turmoil sparingly as it hurts you quite a bit, but you can live without Non-Combats in the face of a Dragon Ball or stasis heavy deck. Do not underestimate how game changing A Father Struggles can be, as it does catch many decks completely off guard. He’s Safe is also really great to make sure you have the stages to make your big attack, and can help recur your lost Advanced Basics (as will Goku’s House).

Not a devastating deck, but a fun one that can easily catch your opponent in a random combat.

Later, BroZ!
