1. Deck concept

This is a midrange deck focused around skill-less Battle Cards and combos. It builds advantage with skills that activate every time you combo with skill-less Battle Cards, granting power boosts to ensure you always have the edge in combat. Many skill-less cards also help to serve as support cards, giving you plenty of options for customizing the deck to your needs.

2. Deck overview

a. Deck goals

This card is your main attacker, fueling the deck’s early game while building advantage. It adds a skill-less card to your hand every time it attacks, and can attack for up to 30000 power if you play your cards right. Even better, it can’t be removed from your Battle Area by skills during your turn—once it’s on the board, your opponent will just have to deal with it. Figuring out the most efficient way to get it into play should be a foremost concern.

b. Early game

Play {BT14-007 Son Gohan, Ultimate Essence} and {BT14-009 Krillin, Universe 7 Challenger}, and prepare for the mid-game.
This deck is focused on gaining advantage by using skill-less cards in combos, so make sure your lines of play use as many combos as possible.
Try to mulligan until you have the above cards in hand, or other cards that add skill-less cards to your hand early on.

c. Mid game

Play {BT14-003 Frieza, Unlikely Savior} on turn 2 and awaken your Leader.
{BT14-003 Frieza, Unlikely Savior} is a Unison Card with a unique skill that allows you to use a skill-less Universe 7 card in a combo every time your opponent attacks. Its combo skill also helps keep its markers intact, so your opponent’s going to have a difficult time getting it off the board.
Many cards in the deck activate when you use cards in combos—it’s all up to you to decide how best to use them.
Add skill-less cards during your attacks, combo with {BT14-012 Android 17, Universe 7 Challenger} and {BT14-013 Android 18, Universe 7 Challenger}, and place skill-less cards in your Drop Area to maintain advantage.

d. Defensive Cards

{BT14-029 Difference of Status} is a new red counter that allows you to flexibly power down your opponent’s Battle Cards. Use [Spirit Boost X] to reduce the power of an opponent’s Battle Card to 0, and you can remove your opponent’s attackers without spending energy.
