Piccolo the Mentor Level 2 – World Games Saga
Starter - #195
Personality
Power: Energy attack doing 8 life cards of
damage. Remove 2 cards in your discard pile from the game. Gain 1
power stage for each remaining card in your discard pile.
All in one. This was a very good level 2
especially when Piccolo the Trained raised his anger. It still is.
An energy doing 8 life is nothing bad. The
ability to remove discards sets up the Namekian TS Mastery, and
other cards like Vegeta’s Quickness Drill. It thus works best in
Namekian.
The gaining stages usually gets you to full in
the late game, and that can easily shut off physical decks and boost
your energy.
This level 2 is just plain good. Power up to
full, discard pile manip, energy for 8… how is this bad? It just
isn’t. The ability to level to level 2, power for 8, Ki Push for 11,
and Aura Clash, and power for 8 was plain broken back at Worlds, and
is what obviously made Piccolo Namekian even better than what it was
before.
Namekian was really good, and it still is
decent. But by all means you should run this level 2 in Piccolo
Namekian energy still.
Standard: 4.2 out of 5.0 (Piccolo Namekian all
the way)
Tuff Enuff: 4.2 out of 5.0 (ditto)
Sealed: 4.5 out of 5.0 (Piccolo is decent in
sealed, but get off that level 1…) ~matthewlow
