hey matt. my name is wilson marsh. I have been into DBZ for about a year and heard of you about 3 weeks ago. there is only 1 person I know in my (small) town that collects the cards but he doesnt know how to play. so I dont get much practice. well anyways I was wondering if you could rate my deck (from 1-10).

 

>> No one plays DBZ where I'm from and I still manage to play. My sister and I are generally the only people who play where I'm from, and that's if I'm at home, not at school. I only play her to help her learn her deck right before an event. Thus, I generally get to play DBZ something like 6-10 times a year, with most of those being big tournaments like Regionals and Worlds.

I know my deck is crazy so dont worry about being to harsh. my strategy is to get my allies out, suck my opponents life cards down, and get rid of some of his allies and non-combats in play. well here it is.

locations:

 

blasted land (android saga)

>> Terrible choice for a location. Try something else like City In

>> Turmoil as tech, and maybe throw in something interesting like Winter

>> Countryside or Goku's House. <<

 

>> Your basic problem is you have barely any focus. You've basically thrown together random cards, some of them illegal, and put them in a stack. That's not how you play a CCG. What you need to do is back up, and design a basic focus. How do you want to win? What Style and MP would work best with that? You can't be running 1x of random stuff. You're supposed to max out on good cards to abuse.

 

I can't give you a rating because your deck is illegal, and thus it wouldn't even get a 1 when 10 is the best.

 

Hopefully you'll see what I'm saying. Take a look at some other decks that are sent to me and read up on what I mean by focus and theme. That's the basic thing you need to start playing any CCG period. Once you've mastered that, you'll be able to go build decks to your fullest potential. Remember to build decks using any cards, not just ones you own. Decks with any cards are always better than ones with cards you're limited to.

 

Good luck.
