Blue Narrow Escape – GT Baby Saga
Ultra Rare - #248
Setup – Non-Combat
Power: If you declare a Tokui-Waza, end Combat. Shuffle 5 cards in
your Discard Pile into your Life Deck. Remove from the game after
use.
First off… San Francisco Regionals, here I come! ^_^ Tomorrow is the
big day… can you feel it?
Anyway, this is yet another one of the extremely good Ultra Rares
that Baby Saga brought us. This pretty much solidifies the Blue
Stasis decks seen in both formats, also giving a twist on other
options as well.
Blue has always been known for not staying in combat and throwing
out DB after DB, and thus, this card only reinforces that. Now Blue
has a non-combat that can do the job, which gives players options
just in case they don’t draw up a Blue Leaving, Dream Fighting, or
Nappa’s Blinding Stare. Now, of course, Focused doesn’t have those
luxuries, so they have to make due with this card. That’s not a bad
thing though.
Shuffling 5 cards back in can be a blessing or a problem, whereas it
decreases your percentage of drawing what you need but it could send
back in key cards or at least let you live longer if you’re trying
to stall.
This doesn’t only have to work in Blue Stasis decks. Destruction
Mastery welcomes it as a way to get out of jams, regeneration
possibilities, or even to sacrifice to the Mastery to nuke a setup.
Overall, a well rounded card.
Combat ending is also important to certain variations of ally decks.
Regeneration is always important to those decks, and with that in
mind, I can see some fitting in if room allows it.
Note this isn’t limit 1 per deck so Yajirobe could have a lot of fun
with this.
Try this card out. It doesn’t work in every variation of Blue, but
many options definitely can benefit from a card such as this. It’s
always fun to smirk at your opponent when you’ve got massive
lockdown in combat enders. Of course, when your opponent doesn’t
enter with Gohan’s Kick or Majin Buu’s Fury.
Expanded: 4.3 out of 5.0 (stasis all the way)
Focused: 4.3 out of 5.0 (stasis, Destruction, etc)
Sealed: 4.7 out of 5.0 (can easily be a lifesaver, especially since
you can play Rainbow TW rules)
