Matthew Low on Score's Dragon Ball TCG
Old DBZ Card Game Question
Oct. 24, 2005

From: GVGoku
Subject: DBZ Cards

Hey, I was wandering if I ask you a couple of questions about the original DBZCCG. I have a list of questions & requests below:

How many cards are allowed in a deck?

What is the banned & limited cards?

-------

I hope you know that the game was cancelled back in March or so. It's been a while for that game. A good 5 year run, but alas all good things must come to an end. At least in this case.

The original card game had 85 cards in a deck, which included your MP, Mastery, and Sensei, but of course not the Sensei deck itself. Namekian could use 90 cards.

As for banned and restricted, I don't personally commit that to memory, but I'd know if a card is restricted if someone were to ask me about a specific card. I'm sure I'd make a mistake if I were to make a list as it has been a while since I've looked at the CRD, which is pretty much gone now.

I do, however, happen to have the 2/11/04 CRD, which of course is quite old. Making some changes from memory, here are some of the banned/restricted cards.

Banned / Restricted Card List
The following cards have been placed on the Banned or Restricted list in order to keep the play environment fun and challenging for everyone in tournaments.

Banned
The following cards are banned in all official Expanded Tournaments:
Dream Machine Battle
This Too Shall Pass
Dragons Glare
The Talking Ends Here
Chiaotzu’s Psychic Halt
Cosmic Backlash (1/15/04)
Feeding Frenzy (2/11/04)

Restricted
The following cards should have the following game text on each: “Restricted to one per deck.” Thus, only one of each of these cards can be played in a tournament legal deck.

Vegeta’s Smirk
Goku’s Lucky Break
Vegeta’s Plans
Vegeta’s Physical Stance
Nappa’s Physical Resistance
Nappa’s Energy Aura
Frieza’s Force Bubble
Saiyan Truce Card
Expectant Trunks
Straining Destruction Move
Blue Terror
Super Saiyan Effect
Battle Pausing

Sorry I can't be of much help.

"You will not be allowed to do this to anyone else!" - Gohan

"You are the light of the world - like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." - Matthew 5:14-16
