Hello!!! I am back today
with an all new card. Today i have decided to take a look at master roshis
island! (Note: I've been getting lots of e-mails asking about the cards. So to
let you all know. All these card scans are from my personal collection.) And yes
this one is foil ^_^
Master Roshi's Island - AS - 3 Star Uncommon
Location
Power: All named cards cost +2 life cards to play.
Such a nasty card huh? We
all love those named cards like Vegeta's physical stance and Yamcha's Skillful
Defense. But man this card makes them work at a cost. Sure 2 life cards
doesn't seem much but it will hurt in the end. Imagine once roshis island is put
into play your opponent is going to keep on forcing combats and make you
use those precious blocks that we all love to use. This card should never be
taken lightly.
Now the Pros and Cons about this card.
Pros:
You! r Opponent has to pay +2 life cards including the cost of the
attack.
Its uncommon. Easier to find.
Your Opponent will skip lots of combats till he draws a location to counter it.
Nothing can stop its effect.
It can be countered but only by another location.
Now from all the decks I've seen and played in
tournaments, there is always at least a few named cards if not many. The usual
cards are stuff like yamcha's skillful defense, Vegeta's physical stance,
Chiaotzu's psychic halt, Trunks Energy Sphere, etc. Now with roshis island out
you can really hurt them since they have to pay 2 life cards just to use a named
card. What is not good about forcing your opponent to pay 2 life cards to use a
block?
Cons:
It works on all players. Including you.
If not put into play quickly it may be removed from the game before you can even
draw it. I.E. Black searching technique.
Well of cour! se the card also effects you as well. So
you must pay the 2 life cards as well when you play a named type card. Such a
downer huh?
Tips:
The best ways of using this card in a deck is
using stuff like a Namekian Tokui-Waza Deck since the deck recycles with
Namekian Mastery and other Namekian cards. You wont worry about losing 2 life
cards because you'll end up getting them back later on in the game. Another way
to use this card is to make your deck completely rainbow with all sorts of
colored cards without using any type of named card (which is quite a challenge).
Try adding in Orange energy dan drill to search their deck for all their
locations and discard them to insure they never ever use a location to counter
yours. If you can do that you can have a game locked. Since theres no way of
countering roshi's island they'll be forced to try and win by paying the cost of
roshi's island.
My rating on this ! card gets a 5/10. This card can be evil if
it is used in the proper deck.
Well thats it for today! Tomorrow i will review Trunks
Energy Sphere.And also on Saturday I will randomly pick an email with a card of
the day suggestion! So if you haven't wrote an email with a suggestion for a
COTD to me.. You better now! My email is TrunksTheSwordsman@pojo.com
Cya!
