Here is a little discussion panel that we did at the end of last Thursday’s stream with the community. It leads to some great discussions about events, running our site, the community and rules changes. It ended up being a much longer panel, so we’re only presenting the most coherent parts. Enjoy!

Worst decision ever was moving ocg off of the retro forums onto kurts site lol.
could someone highlight the key points?
Malibu and Blue Moon mostly.
I can’t wait for Gen-Con this year. Just being able to meet up with everyone I used to hang out with when the game was at its high point. The last time I played DBZ outside of my hometown (Rockford, IL) was Gen-Con worlds (Dustin Moribito won that) which was a long time ago. I played Broly Saiyan, and it was the best time I have ever had playing a game. So, its exciting to be able to dust it off the cards and meet up with the Dustin Moribitos, Rob Haluchas, and Jimmy Watsons of the community that us up here in Rockford, IL knew well and were great friends with.
Also, I want to thank you guys for doing this. Its great to see that something that brought people and myself so much joy and good times.
Thanks,

I don’t get the argument about SWK that proxy card #s are hard to read…other cards like Apocalyptic Battle need to use card #s too…that’s an issue with the proxies, not SWK…while I’m not against banning her I must point out that although there were 2 Orange MBS SWK decks in the top 8, both of them lost and neither made it to the finals…I think that banning her less than 2 months before Gencon would be very unfair to anyone planning to play her…she should be addressed after we see what happens at Gencon to plan for the next ‘season’…
Instead of restricting Orange Focusing Drill or fundamentally changing the MBS Orange Style Mastery…what about a minor CRD update stating you may discard an orange drill to search your life deck for any 2 drills “excluding Orange Focusing Drill”…that still allows the mastery and archetype to be playable but prevents the ‘infinite protection’ of your drills as you would have to draw into Orange Focusing Drill again or search it out through some other means…that would be an easy change that wouldn’t reduce the playability of the mastery at all but would come with the sacrifice of stability if your opponent is holding onto that Android 17 smirks or Drills Are For the Weak…
And lastly:
favorite virtual cards-
Future Gohan lv.1…adds diversity and possibly new archetype while not anything ‘groundbreaking'<<<I feel this is really the most well-balanced virtual personality so far
Future Gohan's Dog Fight…future gohan is definitely playable and his named card gets around Orange Focusing Drill…what?!?
least favorite virtual cards-
Android Apocalypse Drill…android ally while maybe not 'tier 1' was always playable…even won a regional back in the day with that Red CS Android 13 beeats/EDQ creation…this gives androids a disturbing advantage over other ally decks coupled with Orange Focusing Drill to protect it…
Vegeta lv.1…whats with the untouchable ally theme going on here?…there's what, like 3 cards that turn off your personality power? (Piccolo the Trained, Saiyan Inspection, Red Face Slap)
SWK can go burn in a ditch. She doesn’t deserve another tournament or anything to prove if she’s too game-breaking or not. She’s been proving it ever since she came out 8-9 years ago. And to those planning to play her… oh well? Learn to play DBZ instead of Janken?
