Krillin’s Flight – Buu Saga

Common - #19

Combat

Power: Choose 2 level 1 Allies in your discard pile and place them into play at their highest power stage.

Anyone notice the typo on this card? They spelled Krillin’s name wrong under his headshot. Also… see who is the first to come up with the card in which Majin Dabura’s name is spelled wrong…

Anyway, this is generally the alternate version of Krillin Asks for Help. This card is in a sense better, but in a sense worse. Krillin named ally with Freestyle Mastery (Majin Buu Saga) can become extremely strong with this card, since you can generally get two allies out a turn if you play your cards right.

This card can be used by any character, which is nice, seeing that decks like Android 18 ally could use a card to get allies out from the discard and put at full. The down part is that they only can come from your discard, and they have to be level 1s. You can argue whether to take Unexpected Allies or Krillin’s Flight in this kind of situation; do you want a guaranteed ally or do you want a chance at getting two?

Krillin’s Flight has Flight in the name, so it can be used in the infamous “Goten’s Flying Drill” with “Flight Training.” I have yet to see if that deck is any good. There’s always Majin Buu’s Flight to that is similar to the nasty Tien’s Flight, so it can’t be too bad.

In ally decks that want to get allies out not via Z Warriors Gather but via Combat cards, Krillin’s Flight is a great choice. Combined with other searchers like The Power of the Dragon, Unexpected Allies, Gathering of Heroes, and, for their respective characters, Looking Good and Krillin Asks For Help, you can be set for your ally searching.

The only weak part is that it might become useless if no allies make it into your discard pile. It needs to be used in the late game to be of a lot of use. It is a Combat card, so it can be Sphered, but that is actually a good thing, seeing that a simple Krillin’s Concentration or Piccolo and Heroes Gather can get some allies out easily.

Standard: 2.4 out of 5.0 (nice ally retrieval, can help in the end game, bringing out two attacks, only gets out two while still being situational) Tuff Enuff: 2.9 out of 5.0 (losing allies to discard via Majin Vegeta is more present; allies a bit stronger here, while going to full helps against physical beatdown)
