Power: Put the bottom 4 cards of your Discard Pile at the bottom of your Life Deck.

Ahh, an ally that regenerates. This is a big key to the current environment, and I can see him popping up in ally decks and even regular decks, except Supreme West Kai variations.

Hero ally was lacking in good regeneration options outside of using SWK as a MP and Kid Trunks, Teenager/Pan, Granddaughter of Goku as allies. Dende brings a whole new twist. Ally decks thrive on regeneration of key cards because they run a whole lot of single cards, many which are vital to how the deck works. Sure Dende doesn’t get to pick the cards, but getting 4 cards period can really help. Kid Trunks, Dende, and Oolong can easily combo up 10 cards to regen per combat, which helps Earth’s Spirit Bomb decks.

Focused decks will embrace him, seeing many are ally and could easily use the extra life. They can just Circle of Power if they need to ever level instead, but that’s only an option.

I don’t see him as an MP anytime soon because regenerating 4 cards isn’t a game breaking card power. So keep him as an ally and a good ally at that.

Expanded: 4.5 out of 5.0 (regeneration in an ally is a big key and can change a lot of games)

Focused: 4.7 out of 5.0 (with allies all over, this one is a twist which will definitely boost hero ally options)
