Virtual Card Set 2012 – I Must Break You!

Drunk Chippy Here. Sotally Tober Offiher. So we’re down to the final cards of the virtual set. Garrett is passed out in the back after the Warped Tour (I thought you were a Texan! Pansy!), so it’s time for this designer to shine! As I’ve made a ridiculous amount of cards for this game (over 1000+), so it is a little hard to come up with new ideas that don’t break the entire game. My first idea was an energy attack that let you draw any card from your Sensei deck, but nooooooo. Had to be broken within 5 minutes (curse you playtesters!). Then a previous idea came up letting you steal Non-Combats per the Dragonball Capture rules. But noooooooo. Stupid rules lawyers and your “What if I have different drills of the same color?” and other rules conflicts (curse you rules lawyers!). So now, it’s time for a different idea.

So Red is pretty focused, isn’t it? “Hi, all I do is play this anger game that most other decks don’t”. I’ve never been the biggest fan of anger decks, purely because they play a specific style of game that you MUST pack cards in your deck to play against. Dragonball decks have mechanics in the game that lets all decks play with them, but anger decks don’t. So let’s come up with something to shake that anger archetype up, while also making something new and different! What about a Red Drill that is actually really good? You know, actually attempts to stick around and provides you with a nice effect. And wouldn’t it be nice if Red did something besides gain levels? Well, here ya go. Convert all that terrible anger gain into something useful! This card should make things pretty brutal against Non-Combat heavy decks, and should still be usable against combat decks as well.

 

“But Chippy! Why Spopovich?!?!?!” Because he’s got the funniest name outside of Mr. Popo, and we’ve used all of our Popo images…. Then again, haven’t I seen this image somewhere before? Bah, in Score tradition we S-H-A-L-L N-O-T C-A-R-E!!!! Make it so, and this too shall pass. Besides, he’s bald. Perfect balance reasons behind Nappa GT and Krillin, so why not here? I don’t want to here any arguments. This is the best thing to bald dudes since the Hair Club for Men. And if you actually play Spopovich (which I don’t expect, but would be REALLY funny), you get… a… fourth…. Ok, Named Card rules suck. I give in. =p

Oh, and side note. You should really come to GenCon this year. August 16-18th. Trust me, this designer still has a few secrets up his sleeves. There will be an announcement that you will tell your grandchildren “Yeah, I was there! That was the best day since I lost my virginity!” Be there, GenCon, August 16-18, old players and new. You’re brain will never be the same again!
