Well, of course you should switch the deck around. It has to be TE silly.

North Kai is a fine Sensei, but I would try adding cards to the Sensei Deck. I would put Black Scout Maneuvers in there as added insurance against other Scout Maneuvers.

Your non-combats are mostly good; take out Krillin's Thoughts. I would put in Where There's Life There's Hope, Fatherly Advice, Expectant Trunks, Champion Drill, Victorious Drill, Vegeta's Quickness Drill, and Black Smoothness Drill. If you don't have the URs and Ubers, don't worry about it. You need the Smoothness to help get the card advantage for perfect Backlash, and ET is just really good for that one combat you need. Krillin's Concentration/Piccolo and Heroes Gather might be helpful.

I would run EDB7 over those two DBs. It has the potential to setup a perfect Backlash by itself, with the help of a card or so in your hand.

Part of perfect Backlash is Piccolo's Fist Block, which you are missing. Other than that I don't really see any Combat cards you are missing.

That's a lot of physical defense... you could run more Blue Leverage. Pikkon's Leg Catch is nice; you can try Goku's Quick Dodge.

For more energy defense, you could run Goku's Running Defense and Straining Focusing Move. Neutralization is an interesting card. I've had Goku Swiftly Moving mess me up when used on a Solar Flare.

I would also run Winter Countryside just in case of Are You Tuff Enuff, and you also need some non-combat defense. You don't have much, and a nicely placed Caught Off Guard Drill naming Cosmic Backlash can mean good game. I know Showdown and your COGD can neutralize this, but that's not enough.

Good luck. This can work nicely; try it and see. Hope for no Black Scout Maneuver though.
