About the Recent Errata and Rule Changes

The recent, sudden announcement of card errata and changes to the core rules has caused some surprise and consternation within the community. We’d like to sincerely apologize for any confusion and concern this may have caused, and go into more detail on our reasons for making the changes.

Errata 1: Super Combo

Cards like {BT1-010 Divine Aide Vados} have been changed to have [Super Combo]. These cards were originally given their extremely powerful and cost-efficient skills to make combos—a key part of the game—more fun and exciting, earning them a place in just about any deck.  

However, as more cards are introduced into the game from different series, an issue arises. If you want to build a deck themed around Dragon Ball GT, but have to include {Divine Aide Vados} due to its versatility and power, the end result is less freedom to enjoy the characters you like.  

To fix this, we decided to create new cards with similar skills to cards like {Divine Aide Vados}. This raised another issue: decks running 10 or more copies of these extremely powerful cards, limiting deck diversity and design space.  

To fix this issue while still allowing more characters to have {Divine Aide Vados}’s powerful skillset, we decided to create [Super Combo], which will be included on all cards going forward with this design, and retroactively added to the cards that originated it.

Errata 2: {BT2-022 Mind Controlling Babidi}

Combining {BT2-022 Mind Controlling Babidi} and {SD2-05 Chain Attack Trunks} allows for extremely powerful plays between turn 2-4 that can see multiple strong red Battle Cards entering the Battle Area for free.

Though we weren’t able to replicate these plays every game, additional testing with the combination of cards described above resulted in an environment dominated by decks running the strategy. After much consideration, we chose to make changes to {BT2-022 Mind Controlling Babidi} instead of banning it outright.

*We also considered making changes to {SD2-05 Chain Attack Trunks}, but because the card is included in a starter deck intended for beginners, we ultimately decided that changing Babidi was the less confusing choice.

Errata 3: {BT3-044 Thinks He’s the Best Hercule}

This card was intended to allow you to place two cards from your Energy Area to the bottom of your deck, and place two cards from the top of your deck in your Energy Area—if and only if your leader is ＜Majin Buu＞. Working as intended, the card is supposed to swap out cards from your energy, replacing them with cards from the top of your deck.  

However, because of a mistake in the way the text was formatted, players who don’t have ＜Majin Buu＞ as their Leader get to ignore the first part of the card (which places cards on the bottom of the deck), and—due to a quirk in the way rules processing works—only get the second half of the effect, which adds two cards to their energy. Extremely powerful, and entirely unintended. For this reason, we’ve made a minor alteration to the text to reflect the original intent of the card.
