0/0
0/0

Honestly, I didn't think much of this guy at first, but I had someone point out to me the greatness hidden behind his small stature.  He can bring low the mightiest of leaders all by himself!  That, I imagine, is also going to be the single use he ever has unless the Pilaf family gets some significant support in the future.  Pilaf is entirely a stall card, contributing nothing to a team's forces to say even less for your tempo, and yet is an entirely useful card to play.  If you decide to be masochistic, he does help enable characters with Super Heal, but I doubt anyone would ever use him that way.
In the end, a very defensive card that any slower deck should utilize.
4.5/5

Emperor Pilaf

Villain | Warrior | Human | Male | Emperor Pilaf Family Turn 0 | Chi 0 0/0 | 0/0 [DB] When this Warrior battles against a Team of 3 or more Warriors, the battle result is a Draw.

 

Emperor Pilaf was the first real main villain in the Dragonball series and this card aptly reflects this.  He has abysmal stats with a good effect.  He's pretty useless until at least Turn 2 because there will be no Teams of 3 until then.  However, Pilaf is pretty much the ultimate late game chump blocker.  The effect is not [Valid] so that hurts it quite a bit (even though he'll probably be discarded due to overwhelming victory anyway) And the fact that you need a dragonball is also a hindrance. But Pilaf can be in a team and his effect still apply so placing him as support means reusing that effect and injuring powerful teams of your opponent's. Despite its high costs, injuring someone's Vegeta [Super Saiyan] (or some equivalent) is a pretty good tradeoff if you ask me.

 

_________Bottom Line________

Its a good card especially for stalling/slowing tempo tactics.

 

Card: 4/5

Art: 3/51

TFH Emperor Pilaf

Simple enough, we are taking a look at Emperor Pilaf. He’s a 0/0 in both healthy and injured status. His effect requires a Dragonball and when he battles a team of 3 or more Warriors, the battle result is a draw. He is a turn 0, but he definitely isn’t that good. Just a quick review for him today.
He’s also a Villain if that helps any.

Constructed: 1.1/5
