Saiyan Tactical Mastery
Mastery

Power: When you Shift a card, you may discard 1 of your Saiyan Non-Combats in play instead of discarding a card from your hand. When you Shift a card, for the rest of Combat your other Saiyan attacks do +3 power stages.

Ah, my personal favorite is today's mastery.   It lost some power due to the errata, but it is still amazingly powerful thanks to a few cards from LES.  Sure, dropping a non instead of a card from your hand may not seem like it's all that great, but it's hand advantage.  Thanks to all the shifting that Saiyan got, you can be rest assured that you can abuse this mastery.  One good combat for a deck like this and it's game.  Combo this with cards like Saiyan Monkey Outrage, Saiyan Power Boot, Saiyan Overhead Pound, etc.  A particularily dangerous combo is one involving Saiyan Egged.  Basically, you're at lv 6 with Goku.  3 Eggeds out.  I wonder what you're supposed to do.  That's just best case senario though.  But, you also get a bonus for shifting.  That's where this becomes dangerous.  I've had this mastery doing +23 - +26 stages before.  So, you can make combat last, get a form of hand advantage, and make your attacks do a ton of damage?  So, uh, what's the drawback?  There are a few drawbacks.  For starters, if your opponent pulls CIT, then you've got blank nons.  Another thing is, it's stages of damage.  That means that your opponent's allies can take control faster.  So make sure to abuse anti ally stuffs with this card.  Oh, and there is another problem.  With combat lasting so long, your stages get depleted due to energys/opposing physicals.  So, while this mastery has much more powerup potential than even Concealed Mastery, it still has a few draw backs to bring it back in line.  However, the stages could be a blessing in disquse against an energy deck.  So, experiment here.   

Expanded:  4.5/5  (Drawbacks slightly hold this mastery back)

Focused:  4.5/5 (See above)

Sealed:  2/5  (Run it.  It sucks here, but it's a mastery at least)
