Requirement: Piccolo
[Action] Give 1 Damage to target opposing Warrior.

Eh, this is in a little trickier water now with Lord Slug taking over the head Unique slot, but I can imagine both seeing play. I'm definitely a fan of this one. It's kind of a desperate step, but Namekians have a way of overcoming whatever damage they get. This is a fact I'm sure will be reinforced as the game moves on. If you're already on the winning side, this makes for a great situation for you. If you're on the losing side, this helps balance things out and can even be used in response to someone else attempting to damage your Piccolo.
The biggest thing I notice about it, though, has nothing to do with the card itself. Many characters offer good tempo at the cost of some stability. In other words, one hit and they're maggots. This can seriously mean an overwhelming victory for your team if you place it right.
The fact that it's Piccolo only makes it very hard for me to make this a 4. Right now, I'm giving that to it because I believe Piccolo should be in any Unique deck at the moment, and this should be in any Unique deck that has Piccolo. Ok, the Super version can use it, too, but good luck working the two of them together.

4/5

Don't like my reviews? Think you've got a better eye for these than I do? Well, put up or shut up. Our ranks for reviewers are pretty thin, so if you can consistently give thoughtful reviews, I know I'd welcome the counterpoint.  (Volunteer Here)
Bibbo Special Beam Cannon

Unique | Technique | Beam | Destruction

T-5 | :U::U:

Requirement: PICCOLO

[Action] Give 1 Damage to target opposing Warrior. Then, give 1 Damage to the User after the showdown step.

This card is very balanced. It's powerful yet it does have a drawback. The card is perfect for the Unique decktype cause you are running 3 Piccolo Jrs. and why not use a technique that injures my Piccolo that I will Selection of the Race and get out another Piccolo. This is just a really well balanced card that deserves one or two slots in a Unique deck, possibly three if its doing well for you.

_________Bottom Line_______

Balanced good card.

Card: 5/5
Art: 3/5
