Hey Matt! You have my name! Haha! That aside I beg for your assistance
on my Orange Gohan Energy Deck.. I seem to be losing my touch after the
introduction of Majin Buu. He’s just too powerful for my lil old Gohan. The only
deck around me is a Red Buu anger. When my friend used to play Gohan in his
red deck we had close games, but for any deck its tough trying to live through a
deck full of physicals with Buu at level 3, at 5,990,000 and a Red Gambit
attached to it. Is there anything you can do to help me beat this Buu deck? Once
again I beg for your assistance. Here it is:
Main Personality
1 Gohan Hitek (WGS) - strange choice, but it can work.
2 Gohan, the Swift (CS) - good
3 Gohan, the Righteous (WGS) - Dunno about this... and where are your level 4 and 5 (try Fusion)
Mastery
Trunks Saga Orange - MBS is so good. TS is ok.
Sensei and Sensei Deck
Grand Kai Sensei (WGS) - Nope. North is infinitely better. And you need to make a Sensei deck.
Non-Combats
2x Orange Burning Aura Drill (CGS) - nah
1x Android 20 Absorbing Drill (TS) - sure
1x Orange Aura Drill (AS) - ok
1x Awful Abrasions (CS) - maybe
1x Orange Special Beam Cannon Drill (TS) - I'd rather not, if you want.
1x Severe Bruises (AS) - ok
1x Goku’s Heart Disease (AS) - maybe
1x Orange Focusing Drill (SS) - you need 3
Energy Combats
1x Orange Mouth Shot (MBS) - maybe
2x Orange Energy Setup (CGS) - ok
1x Krillin’s Heat Seeking Blast (TS) - more
3x Orange Resistance (TS) - ok
3x Orange Energy Guard (MBS) - need more Drills
1x Orange Power Blast (CS) - terrible
1x Orange Taunting Attack (FS) - not worth the paper it is printed on
1x Orange 5-Finger Focus (MBS Preview 3) - run 3, combo with Energy Empowerment Drill
1x Orange Sneak Attack (MBS) - sure, 3 sounds good
3x Orange Palm Blast (AS) - nope
1x Orange Neck Restraints (SS) - never
1x Orange Focused Attack (CGS) - nope
3x Orange Trick Shot (MBS) - maybe
1x Orange Eye Beam (AS) - nah
1x Orange Energy Smash (CGS) - I have like 9 of these doing NOTHING because it is so useless except in CS Mastery with Bardock or something like that.
2x Orange Goku’s Kamehameha (CS) - nah
1x Orange Energy Discharge (CS) - sure
1x Good Advice (FS) - sure
1x Orange Kamehameha Attack (FS) - nah
1x The Luck of Trunks (FS) - nah
Physical Combats
1x Orange Close Call - probably some bad card in WGS
1x Orange Fist Catch - run 3
1x Orange Dodge (BS) - heck no
1x Orange Deflection (CS) - just no
3x Orange Head Butt (BS Preview) - I don't see the point
2x Orange Surprise Reaction (BS) - ditto
3x Orange Wrist Flex Takedown (SS) - no
2x Orange Palm Block (WGS) - no
3x Orange High Block (BS) - has uses, don't see enough endurance in your deck
1x Orange Uppercut - run 3
3x Orange Sidestep (CS) - no
3x Orange Shoulder Throw (SS) - no
Combats
1x Smokescreen (CS) - no
1x Reserves (CCPP2) - maybe
Dragon Balls
1x Alternate Dende Dragon Ball 5 - run a better DB please
Locations:
1x Majin Buu’s House (MBS) - Random...
**********
Well if your friend actually plays Red Gambit, you should laugh at him since he'll have a dead card in his hand quite often.
The thing is Majin Buu Red Anger is really good now, packing Unlocked Potential, comboing it with Majin Buu's Energy Spray and Piccolo Absorbed Level 3 to go... Unlocked, then Spray for 3 (draw 2x Spray), Mastery to level, Spray for 3 (draw 4th Spray), random raise anger 1 card to level, Spray for 3, Red Double Strike to level, Spray for 3, and Double Strike for the game.
I highly doubt any random Orange Gohan will even stand a chance. Yours runs a whole lot of really bad cards... that's why I'm not surprised that you can't beat him.
Orange is much better off playing Drill control with the MBS Mastery. There are quite a few characters that would be better; Goku, Roshi, Yamcha, Tien, etc.
I'm going to comment beside many of the cards. The problem with teching this kind of deck is that it isn't possible, since all it seems to be is a mass of nothingness.
Ick. That was bad. This is not really a deck; you've just a bunch of random Orange cards that... well, I don't really know what you are trying to achieve.
You need a point to the deck, and a major strategy. I don't see one anywhere. You've got a long way to go. If the Buu Red gives you close games... I really hate to see what it does. I hope it has the combo above to win in just one turn. Good luck. After you've got some idea of what you are trying to do in this game, then make a deck based on it. Like some common goal. If your goal is to throw random energies and have random blocks, it won't work in this game. Trust me.
