Krillin’s Energy Attack – Saiyan Saga
Uncommon - #113
Energy Combat
Power: Energy attack doing 2 draws from the life card deck if not
stopped. If used by Krillin, this card stays on the table to be used
one more time in this combat.
More or less this is a miniature Tien’s Tri-Beam. I can only see two
decks this working in, and that’s about it. It deserves a high
rating for just those two, but the overall usefulness is not really
there otherwise.
More or less, treat this as an Energy doing 2 life cards, if
performed by Krillin, stays on the table to be used one more time.
Stupid Saiyan Saga wording.
Anyway, since if you aren’t Krillin, this becomes a weak energy
attack doing 2 life cards, you can pretty much say this is a Krillin
only card. The double attack is good for two reasons; draining
yourself for ally (Tribeam is still better), and having big
modifiers (Tribeam is still probably better). Krillin the Great
decks love this card because of the neat level 3. That and Unlocked
Potential only makes it even better.
This is a Krillin named card, so it does have a couple advantages.
The Krillin Level 1 CCPP2 can use this for a little endurance, and
it can be easily pulled with the Freestyle Mastery MBS if you need
that additional push to win the game, assuming you know there’s no
all block coming your way and you’ve run out of Krillin’s Heat
Seeking Blasts… or you just plain need two attacks. Also note that
this card is not removed from the game after use, so 2x Krillin’s
Energy Attack + Battle Pausing + Level 3 power + a ton of named
cards in discard + opponent no having a stop all = MAJOR pain.
Krillin’s level 3 is just plain evil if used in the late game. Combo
this card with Krillin’s Level 3 and watch the magic unfold. Tien’s
Tri-Beam is three attacks, along with the clones Orange 5 Finger
Focus and Red Repeating Flares. But since we are going Freestyle
Krillin most likely (even if not, still not shabby), why not run
both? I don’t see any reason why not.
Standard: 3.2 out of 5.0 (used mostly in Freestyle Krillin, mostly a
TE deck but has appearances here) Tuff Enuff: 3.6 out of 5.0 (use it
in Freestyle Krillin)
Sealed: 1.3 out of 5.0 (uh… energy doing 2 life? I’ll pass, thanks.)

Krillin's Energy
Attack - SS
One of the old saiyan saga cards that actually now have a use in the
newer sets. Its obviously good with Krillin Lv.3 decks since its 2
energys in 1. Energy Empowerment Drill will make this energy attack
do 6 twice instead of just 2. And since it doesnt remove itself it
gives another +1 power stage to the krillin lv.3 power which is
always nice. A crap card at first but with some of the new stuff it
can work with krillin decks now.
Rating 2.5

Wednesday - Krillin's Energy Attack
This is another good card in Krillin, the Great decks. It's not as
good as
Tien's Tri-Beam, but it's krillin named, so you can run 4 in you
rKrillin,
the Great deck. If you're at level 3 well into the game and drop
this on
the table, thats an energy for 2 life and around 20 stages!, and it
can be
used, AGAIN! And whats more if you're running 4 of these, there is a
pretty good chance you'll draw at least one of these a game. If you
get one into your hand early in the game, don't use it, rejuv it
(hey, that rhymed..).. unless you really need to some early damage
because your opponent is trying to stabilize they're dragonballs
tuff... Anyway, this is only really good if Krillin uses it, and in
Krillin, the Great decks.. so..
Standard: 1.5
Tuff ENuff: 1.65

Krillin's Energy Attack
Wonder who picked these... Anyway:
Well, this card is a very underrated Krillin card. An energy for two
in and
of itself is not very impressive, but this card has the fun text (Or
something like it) "If used by Krillin, this attack can be used 1
more time
this Combat". Fun stuff for us Ally players. It's basically a
Tri-Beam minus
the third use and RFG text. Plus, with Cell's Arena, Overcharge, and
the
like, it can drain an Ally player faster and end up doing more life,
which
is fun.
For players of the more common Krillin Freestyle deck, it is still a
good
card. Once you get to the WGS Lv.3, it can become an energy doing 2
life and an insane amount of stages twice, which is evil. It can
make your opponent ditch blocks so they have stages for their
energies, or have stages so their physicals affect you. In either
case, it gets rid of their blocks so you can hit them with bigger
attacks.
Standard - 2/5. Not
too many people use Krillin there, but those who do will want this
card for some purpose.
TE - 3.3/5. More Krillin decks there, seeing as the threat of DB is
removed.

Krillin's Energy Attack, #113 from
Saiyan Saga:
Power: Energy attack doing 2 draws from the life card deck if not
stopped. If used by Krillin, this card stays on the table to be used
one more time in this combat.
This card is obviously only going to be used by Krillin because who
wants an energy attack doing 2 life! This card is ok in decks that
use a lot of
modifiers, maybe a deck that uses Energy Empowerment Drill. This
card is also ok in Krillin Freestyle decks that needs some more
named cards (plus it is a krillin named card). You might as well use
Tien's Tri-Beam or if you are orange use Orange 5-Finger Focus. I
like the picture and the quote though. Not too much else to say
besides, this is actually a pretty good energy attack from Saiyan
Saga; if used by Krillin! (I know it is hard to believe)
Ratings:
Standard - 0.75 (there won't be too much use here)
Tuff Enuff - 1.15 (there are some krillin freestyle decks that will
use this
crad)
Sealed deck - 0.2 (why would you get saiyan saga packs anyway,
except to get the nappa's energy aura, nappa's physical resistance,
and Vegeta's physical stance; it isn't really worth it though)
