Fled	Tragic Accident is one of those "better as the game gets on" type cards that are only going to get harder and harder to find.  With Premiere being out of print and this card getting more and more playable, getting your hands on one or four now rather than later is suggested.  It's incredibly clutch in decks that need to see a specific character as soon as possible to function.  Examples of this are Renji and Uryu. Competitive: 3.5/5 - Most Archtypes have a way of getting the characters they need more effectively than Tragic Accident, and you can almost use it as a measuring stick for whether or not your deck is Top Tier. Casual: 4.5/5 - This is when Tragic Shines, because most casual/gimmick-based decks rely on a single character to set their plans forward.  With Dual Energies, Tragic is the glue holding your pile of cards together ;) Art: 2/5 - I *love* the Premiere foil pattern, but Sora is LAME.  I would hope for something more...tragic?
NavyCherub Top 8 GenCon 2008	Tragic Accident Ah, the first relevant tutor! Even though it came out set one, it wasn’t really any good back then. Reason being that anything but rush wasn’t exactly worth running. As time went on, theme decks became –gasp- GOOD, and getting a copy of that important character into your hand became important. Sometimes, spending your first turn energy on this isn’t even such a bad idea. Setting up for the rest of the game by grabbing your most important character is never a bad thing. However, it’s still not really near staple status in my opinion, because there are choices that may make it in before this card. Competitive – 3/5 – Great tutor, but not needed in everything. Casual – 3/5 – Same idea, but it could be more useful in this situation. Art – 3/5 – What does Breast’s brother dying have to do with this card!? Friday – Everyone’s favorite card; I promise.
Ray02	Tragic Accident is one of the best search cards in the game, and in my opinion, the best search event. Its 2 body energy cost makes it a prime card to use on your first turn, ensuring you get that needed character to play on your second. Its secondary cost of discarding a character may make people want to shy away from using this card, but even that is an upside. It can allow you to use cards like Tanding Your Own, Reunited, and of course Ichigo & Izuru-Double Teaming to make use of the Discard Pile and create some pretty cool combos. The condition of only getting characters that share a trait is almost non-existant as most characters share some very common traits(Male, Female, Cute...) along with the fact that most themed decks revolve around specific traits (Soul Reaper, Spirit, Hollow...). I have used Tragic in alot of my decks, since now-a-days most decks are focused around 1 or 2 characters which are essential to the flow of the deck. All around a great card. That will only get better as time progresses. Competitive Play: 4/5 - great card, but not a staple Casual Play: 4/5 - Helps give a bit of consistency to those "for fun" decks. Art: 2.5/5 - fitting image, but lacks flare.
