Virtual Set 2013: Plan to Errata the Saiyans

Occasionally we goof up a bit with our virtual cards, and we’ve always relied more on the community to help catch our mistakes since we don’t always have the time or resources to continually playtest eight hours a day, five days a week like back in our Score days. Well after hearing some concerns and receiving decklists with very well thought-out write-ups and match reports from some dedicated players, we have decided to take the rare step of banning a Virtual Card. As of now, and effective for the upcoming North Kai Tournament, Virtual Card Set 2013 Card #32 Gohan – Father to Be Lv. 3, is now banned. It has been removed from the website and is only viewable here via the original announcement story. This change will be reflected in an upcoming CRD.

Why did we ban this card? Two reasons:

1) He was just too strong and completely shut down too many decks from doing anything. We felt that this would have a very negative impact on the meta and play experience for everyone involved, and wanted to remove him before he had a chance to impact the game at events.

2) In errata’ing him, we dropped his power levels to the point where it didn’t make sense to have him be Adult Gohan and ergo a “Father to Be”. We reverted him back to Teen Gohan and gave him a new title, thus making a completely new card and necessitating the banning of the original.

Here is the updated new, legal Gohan!

32 Gohan Lv. 3 UnboundWhat’s different from the original?

-New title and image

-Power levels have been lowered by about 3,000,000. Gohan now is in Bracket “E” or “F” if he is at full power. The previous Gohan stayed in Bracket “G” he entire time.

-Gohan no longer draws a card when he reaches Lv. 3.

-Personality powers on Main Personalities are no longer affected by this power, however Constant Combat Powers on all personalities are.

-Ally personality powers are now affected.

-Combat cards are no longer affected.

We feel that this Gohan is still a very viable and dangerous personality, though not quite as overpowered as before. This also opens up a few new tricks, like the ability to play two Gohan’s Immense Power cards per turn, enabling you to go all the way up to Gohan, Earth’s Protector and his ridiculous power level of 10,000,000 (and even use his personality power too).

That’s it for now, get to tweaking those decks! We’ll hopefully have a new CRD out within the next week or so, and plan to release a new Janemba set soon (that won’t be legal for the North Kai Event).

Later, BroZ!
