Hello, I have a black Gohan deck, Now this is a Tuff Enuff deck. I focus on
the physical beatdown, and rely on my level one power, so it cripples my
opponent's with android 18's staredown. In case my opponent is a Majin i have heroic
Kamehameha to bump them down a level. IF their not a Majin i use it's empower
to make it an energy attack doing 8 life carda and a power stage. When I get
to level 3 im set, because all my attacks do +3 and i beat them down for
serious damage. Cards like black fist lock do +9 power stages. Any sudgestions to
help me out, are vastly appreciated. Now heres my favorite combo, im at level
2, with a black secret in my hand, and I use my power to get out Krillins heat
seeking blast, BAM theres 7 life cards and a power stage UNSTOPABLE. I love
that one.. Anyway heres my deck:

You need 3 more cards

Now if you do review my deck, don't write a few paragraphs, im not looking
for anything fancy, just wondering if you had any sudgestions so I can make my
deck work to it's fullest extent. Thank you very much for your time.

>_< I can't look. It is too painful.

A quickie eh? Well... first off I would do the staple thing and run all of them. I have probably done a couple articles mentioning what they are by now. Run them all.

Black Secret is a terrible card. As is Heroic Kamehameha, at least in this deck.

Krillin's Heat Seeking Blast doing 7 and 1? And you call that good? Nope, it isn't. I call KHSB doing 4 and 50 good. 5 and 1 is good enough to steal a DB. And if you like it so much run 3.

You've got so many terrible cards in this deck I could spend an hour easily explaining why they are bad. So... I'll leave you with this piece of advice. Read a card. Think about what it does. And think; if I had multiples, would it help? Are there cards that are significantly better?

Would you run a Physical attack doing +2 power stages. Raise your anger 1. Or would you run a Physical attack doing +4 power stages. Raise your anger 2. Dumb question but think about that. Look at Black Side Block. Oh so terrible. Black Turning Kick does the same but can be an energy as well. Also try running some better energy blocks like Black Knife Hand Strike (dual ability rocks). Black Energy Web for some indirect energy stopping power.

Black Body Destruction is just plain broke. Run 3 whatever you do.

Your level 4 is the one that does +3 stages, not 3. With what I'm seeing, if you ever get to level 4... I highly doubt it. It is good, but not gamebreaking.

Supreme Kai as an ally... he does NOTHING... since you don't run Supreme Kai's Help...

Good luck. I hope that you will be able to see the light someday. You've got a long way to go my friend... You need to compare cards, ALL cards, of all sagas, and see and realize which ones are much better and more useful in the most situations.

Actually I changed my mind. I'm going to scroll up and put a good or bad or ok next to every card. That might help.
