Monday - Krillin's Sacrifice
Keep your eyes open this week, I ended up picking the cards, and
it's all
krillin cards, as it always is when I choose the COTDs for a week
:).
This is a very good card in those Krillin the Great Decks.
Especially if
you're facing an energy deck, or got a time is a warrior's tool
earlier in
the combat with your Krillin's concentration (yay krillin cards :)).
Anyway,
it's a basic phys for +4, that isn't that exciting, but then it adds
+3 life
to ALL of your attacks for the remainder. And if you're at level 3
in a
well-constructed KRillin, the Great Deck, thats even MORE damage :p.
Of
course, it doubles damage from physes, but so what if you've pulled
a Time is A Warrior's Tool with your Krillin's Concentration, or
just got lucky and drew Nappa's Physical Resistance with this card.
Anyway, this is only good in one kind of deck, Krillin, the Great
Energy decks :p..but so what? There are so many of those decks
now..that it's an amazing card: p..if it weren't krillin only I'd
give it a higher rating, (you'd think, being me I'd give it a higher
rating just because it's krillin only eh? But I thought I'd be
unbiased :p)

Krillin's Sacrifice, #56 from Fusion
Saga:
Power: Krillin only. Physical attack doing +4 power stages of
damage. For
the remainder of Combat, all of your other attacks do +3 life cards
of
damage and damage from your opponent's attacks are doubled after
modifiers are applied. Remove from the game after use.
This card is probably the most suicidal card out there besides the
Chiaotzu level 2 from Saiyan Saga! This card goes great in a
freestyle Krillin deck; that knows what it is doing. This card has
the potential to screw yourself over. If your opponent deals you
heavy damage then uses some card to wipe out your discard pile
(there are actually quite a few now) you are basically dead.
Otherwise, this card is a physical for +4 and makes all your other
attacks do +3 life; this card will mainly be used for its secondary
effect. I would only advise people who are experts with Krillin
Freestyle decks to use this card, otherwise you will just kill
yourself. Of course this card is Krillin Only so its usage drops
quite a bit. One more thing; making a Hero's Heart Is Strong a
sensei deck card will really hurt krillin freestyle decks.
Ratings:
Standard - 1.5 (I haven't seen a Krillin deck used in standard in a
very ...
very long time, plus this card isn't that great)
Tuff Enuff - 1.5 (this is where the freestyle Krillin decks are
used; be
careful!)
Sealed Deck - 1.0 (is that a joke! First of all it is really tough
to even
play krillin as a main personality in sealed deck, plus even if you
used
him, why would you ever use this card, unless you wanted to lose
faster!!)
Krillin only. Physical attack doing +4 power stages of damage. For
the remainder of Combat, all of your other attacks do +3 life cards
of damage, and damage from your opponent’s attacks are doubled after
modifiers are applied. Remove from the game after use.
Krillin’s Sacrifice? What…
I don’t know if it is just me or is this card just bad? DaKrillin,
I’m not sure what’s your reasoning on picking this card and saying
it is good in Krillin the Great decks, because it sure isn’t…
Only Krillin can use this card, and while that doesn’t really matter
too much since this card is that bad, it can be used by characters
that don’t take damage. But of course you can’t do that… since it is
Krillin only. And why you would take that risk is beyond me.
It starts as a decent physical attack, and the bonus of all your
attacks doing +3 life for the remainder of combat isn’t shabby. The
screwed up part about is having damage doubled. Why would you want
to take more damage? I mean, sure, Krillin’s got to take it in order
to dish it out… er, that came out wrong. I mean, without a discard
pile, his level 3 is junk. But… personally I’d just rather stick
around and live longer, and not take massive amounts of damage.
There are better cards that you can use, in my opinion, like
Unlocked Potential.
I mean, if you’ve already pulled off an all stop, it can’t be too
bad. But of course if you go through that hassle just to Krillin’s
Sacrifice… you might as well try making a wacky suicide Backlash
deck or something.
Just… don’t use this card. Taking more damage isn’t something you
should try to do. I mean, if you want to take more, just take the
attacks already being thrown at you. There’s no need in creating a
double edged sword when you can create one with lesser risk. The +3
life is chump change when you jump to that level 3 with a decent +10
modifier. I mean, just run Unlocked Potential and get it over with.
Well, hey, look on the bright side, at least it doesn’t kill you
like Vegeta’s Sacrifice.
Standard: 1.3 out of 5.0 (don’t bother)
Tuff Enuff: 1.4 out of 5.0 (ditto)
Sealed: N/A – not going to pull Krillin… pretty much trust me on
this… even if you did, don’t use this… ~matthewlow
