First off I’d like to thank all the loyal fans who have stuck with
us even with the major lack of updates. A lot of things have been
occurring in many of our lives which have prevented us from
delivering the top notch strategy we try to bring. I thank you for
your patience and well, hope to finish teching some more decks once
I get back from San Diego Regionals, which I leave for tomorrow.
Hope to see you there. My sister and I will both be there.
Super Android 17 as a whole is a very interesting character to play
as, simply because he has the unique ability to retain all his card
powers and add on with a newer one as he progresses levels. Many of
the powers get stronger as he progresses levels as well. He also
possesses the higher power level of any character released thus far,
which gives him an added bonus if he’s able to start off quickly
dishing out the physical beats.
One of Super Android 17’s greatest assets is his ability to use any
backer’s power with his level 1 HT (as in styled and Super 17
named). This backer, as a bonus, gets chained throughout his 5
levels, which leads you to think wisely about your choice. One of
backers I often see is Black Domination. The ability to gain card
advantage every turn no matter what is very powerful, not to mention
it happens at random and comes from a Black card. There are many
avenues you can explore with him; don’t count anything out.
His regular level 1 is interesting in the sense it allows you to
level midcombat for less cards removed. It is interesting, but often
I see Super 17 playing Black Energetic Mastery, and thus he will
auto level to level 5 quite quickly. Getting there just turns many
of the tides of a game toward Super 17, but keep in mind speed is a
big key to keep your opponent off guard. His powers separately
aren’t extremely great, but when put together on a level 5 with
insane power levels early game, you can easily dominate.
In Expanded play, Super 17 also has access to Android cards like
Super Android 13’s Destruction Bomb and Android 13’s Prepared
Stance. Use these to your advantage along with an army of Android
allies to control the board.
I see Super 17 most often in Black Energetic, but I can see him
possibly be in Red Blazing with the new Red backer to protect your
Dragon Balls, and maybe Orange ally (more likely Expanded with
Android control) and Blue Destruction (maybe). Overall you’ve got a
pretty decent character to mess around with, but honestly, you need
all 5 levels to make him worth playing. And, of course, the level 1
HT with an interesting backer. Just changing the backer makes him
totally different from another Super 17.
Expanded: 4.2 out of 5.0 (Android card abuse, high power levels,
decent powers, chain ability)
Focused: 4.5 out of 5.0 (with lack of very many characters, Super 17
takes the cake with Black Energetic and abuse of the backer on level
1)
Sealed: 4.0 out of 5.0 (chances very unlikely to get him, if you do
it will probably be just 1-3… basically his bonus is mainly the high
PL with no attacks on his levels, but still, not terribly bad) ~matthewlow

Super Android #17 personality set.
Super Android beatstick, at least
for Focused. For one, the power are stackable, which is always
good, especially when the powers do not stink. The icing on the
cake is his level one HT, which is customizable to just about
whatever you want. Last I checked, there were three Super #17
backers (one a straight energy, one an energy that gives empower
damage and empower effects, and one a +5 physical that blocks
the next energy), all of them at least decent, or you can simply
place whatever styled backer on him you desire (Black and Orange
have nice possibilities, as well).
So, assuming you hit level five
(which is possible with Black Energetic, or his non-HT lvl 1),
when entering combat, you will fetch a card with '17' in the
title, all your attacks will do +3 stages, all energies will
cost -5 stages, all energies will gain a damage bonus equal to
the cards in your hand, and you will have whatever level one
power you decided to give him. Oh, and you will be in the top
bracket of physical damage. Not bad, not bad at all.
In Expanded, he is a bit lacking,
as mostly, right now, Dragonball reigns, and he has no specific
way to beat DBall, so I do not see him getting much play. In
Focused, however, he is at least worth considering. Yes, he
lacks Baby's ally retrieval, Hercule's combat stoppage, or Uub's
regeneration, but he is huge, he has good powers, and can do
massive damage to just about anyone, assuming he hits. In
sealed, if you pull enough levels, at least try him. Otherwise,
he is not even a good ally.
Expanded 2.5/5 (not strong enough
to beat DBall, good for casual Expanded, though)
Focused 4/5 (Strong, below Uub
and Baby, I believe, but strong)
Limited 1.5/5 (you MIGHT pull all
his levels, or at least 1-3)
