Vegeta’s Energy Focus – X Promo
Promo – #X2
Energy Combat
Power: Focused energy attack doing 5 life cards of damage. If
successful, this personality does not have to pay any costs for
energy attacks for the remainder of Combat.
This is actually one of the best cards for an energy deck, but the
problem with it is its rarity. Generally the easiest way to get it
is the You Win card at the end of leagues.
The fact that it is focused and it does 5 life by itself makes it
somewhat decent, even just to get around the Blue CS Mastery. The
big key is the if successful effect, which is amazing for combo
ability. Being able toss out energy after energy in the same combat
for free allows you to rattle off a lot that can’t be disrupted by
random physical attacks that hit you.
It is one of the vital components to the Orange Zarbon combo, while
it helps out a lot of decks like Namekian and Vegeta decks that
don’t have an easy way to throw out energy attacks. Being able to
have free energies allows you to be just like a physical deck, which
doesn’t exhaust from lack of stages but instead a lack of attacks.
Energy needs both, and this card takes away that.
Often this is the one energy that will be stopped by a physical deck
because they could just deny the stages and exhaust an energy deck.
But regardless, if it does hit it gives the user a lot of options,
especially if they are close to being in a lockdown.
Great card for many decks from Orange to Namekian to Freestyle
Vegeta energy. If you are looking for a colorless energy attack with
a nice effect, don’t leave out VEF. It can be easily thrown into any
deck and be used to perfection.
Standard: 4.3 out of 5.0 (energy less prevalent, but gives energy
decks a lot of power) Tuff Enuff: 4.5 out of 5.0 (with physical
decks on the rise, this card is needed.
Sealed: N/A

Vegeta’s Energy Focus, #X2

Sorry I haven't done the COD's for a while. This card, at least to
me, is a staple in any deck that runs a fair amount of energy
attacks. The energy attack is for 5, pretty basic, and is focused.
This card used to be pretty saught after, and still kind of is. I
got some of mine at Gen Con in some of the tournaments before
worlds, which I think quite a few people did (you got a Piccolo's
Power Ball as well just for entering the tourament). I believe the
only way to get this card before that was to win it at a
pre-release, if I am not mistaken. So this card is a pretty rare
promo. Overall this card is really good, and can really help out
against a physical beatdown deck. I personally use 3 in my Orange
Supreme West Kai Drill/Ally/Energy Beatdown deck.
Ratings:
Standard - 4.15/5
Tuff Enuff - there is really no reason because tuff enuff is dead :(
, but ... 4.25
Sealed Deck - N/A (doesn't come in packs or starters)

- Vegeta's Energy Focus
Focused Energy attack doing 5 life cards of damage. If successful,
you do not have to pay costs for your energy attacks you perform.
Standard: 4/5
Tuff Enuff: 5/5
When this card came out, it was awesome, and it remains
awesome. A great way to bring on lots & lots of pain quick and
costless. I don't believe I've ever had anyone pull this one on me,
but I could be wrong. How to combo it? Piccolo's Power Ball, Orange
Scatter Shot, expensive Energy attacks that do lots of damage, well
pretty much any energy attack. If you pull this card out, and you
get a successful hit, then hope you have lots of energy attacks.
KingBroly's best Personality for this situation: Yamcha, the
Amazing! ^_^ For tuff enuff, use this card to get an easy overkill,
but save it for a BIG OCCASSION!

Card Review (though a bit late)
Vegeta's Energy Focus
Nice card. A focused energy for 5 that, if successful, makes all
energies free. Not bad, though the if successful stuff kind of hurts
it. The focused ability makes it interesting, and semi hard to stop
against people who run lots of omni blocks. In a good comboing
energy deck, this thing can be mean. Play this, then namekian
strike, to pull something else, to play it, and so on. Namekian and
Orange Energy decks should imbrace this card nicely.
The only real problem with this card is its if successful. There are
a lot better cards that do similar things as secondary effects. The
ammount of cards that do this are limited, and there are cards with
much better effects that will benifit decks more. However, its a
Vegeta named card, which can make Vegeta even better if you play his
World Games.
This card is great, but not absolutely wonderful. The key to it is a
propper deck set up and good timing. If you draw this in a hand that
can't combo energies, it will have to be held. Its still a wonderful
card.
