into his
or her Life Deck. Limit 1 per Deck.
Endurance: 0
Definitely one of the best tech cards in the game. I don't see very
many
reasons not to run this card in at least the sensei deck. Dragon
Ball decks
have always been a great threat, and the ability to reset them might
stall
your opponent enough for you to pull off the kill. And if anything,
you get
an ally as well.
Sure it does allow your opponent to reuse Dragon Balls, but it's not
like
that's bad if your opponent is about to win. It's an amazing trump
card when
things turn sour, and you'll be glad to have it against the many
variations
of Ball out there.
Expanded: 4.9 out of 5.0 (if you're not main decking this, Sensei
Deck it
unless you have a really good reason not to, like you're a speed
ball deck
or something)
Focused: 5.0 out of 5.0 (basically ditto)
Sealed: 4.9 out of 5.0 (getting an ally isn't a bad thing)

This card is a new sensei deck staple. Being able to shuffle all
those balls back in gives you valuable time to set up and win the
game. It has always been powerful in expanded and now even more in
focused since speedball is so rampant. Ally decks could main deck
this as well just for the ally search. In any case every deck should
have this on hand, there is very little reason not to.
5/5 Focused

Ah, reprints, they help out the Focused environment oh so much...
This one has several uses that can be great in a bunch of decks. As
with all other reprints, expanded has already had this card since
back in the Cell Games Saga when this one was released. However, the
environment has changed much since then, and with change comes new
combos.
For Focused, this card is very much at home in any ally deck since
it already acts like an Unexpected Arrival for you. Also, the Dball
returning effect can either get rid of nasty continuous effects like
Cracked 1 or 7 as well as setting a speedball deck back quite a bit.
I have used this to great effect as a Sensei tech card as well, as
you never know when u will need to buy yourself some time. I'm sure
Matt lowe will tell you guys all about the ally uses of this card,
so what I say is pretty much nill lol.
Expanded might as well be called Dball Country, so you know that
there will be many decks that a well-timed Power of the Dragon will
wreck. Also, a lot of gohan/goku/goten decks run chi chi lvl 1 as an
ally, so this card can get her out and blocking faster. Ally decks
in expanded have already made use of this card ever since it was
made, so it isn't anything new.
Ratings
Focused-7/10: Works awesome in ally decks and can work against ball,
but it isn't as prevalent as it is in Expanded.
Expanded-8.3/10: Obviously works great in ally decks, particurly ESB/USB
that takes time to set up and thus would be hurt by speedball.
Use these tips well!

The Power
of the Dragon- a very interesting cad, and one of he ones I
might rate big. You get to play an Ally, and you get to
put all of your opponuts Dragonballs back into his Life
Deck? Thats pretty good. This card would go into any deck,
(I think), and a very good crd when your opponut is about to
get all 7 Dragonballs. In my case, this is a must-play card
in every deck. The only thing I don't like about this card
is that its limits one per deck. Well, onto the reviews.
Exp- 4.5/5
Foc- 4.5/5
Sea.- 4.5/5
(4.5... i
needed to give it that since its only one per deck.)
