earth got a good boost w/ those cards. Great saiyaman is good, the announcer gives earth even more draw power, and the techs were mostly good too.

Great Saiyaman - Not bad for a Gohan Earth, great states for only 1 chi and the effect is nice to have. Earth finally has there 6 drop
Announcer - ok draw power
Appearance of a Hero - great card for earth adventure decks
Disguise Suit - Nice way to stop cards like Kamahamaha
Huge Difference in Power - WOW! I like this card, great if you just can't seem to get the OV on your opponent :D

WOWOWOWOWOWOW
This is one of the best sets of previews ever.
Great sayaman - an amazing turn 6 5/4 statline for earth. toughness and super heal with a great effect, can ally with videl for a whopping 8 support alone with WMT!!
Announcer - has an awesome effect that will allow you to switch earth duplicate cards from your hand on your opponents turn and he is valid!
Appearance of a hero - a turn 4 adventure showdown card that can be used while you are the defender, I can also see it being used with hercule lol block me if you dare I just used baba lol
Disguise suit - I would use this on my opponents warrior like Commander red lol.
Huge Difference in power - can anybody here say THRASH!

That's the plan. :p
In playtesting, Huge difference is probably the single most powerful earth technique to date, and for its cost your oppoent won't know if you have it or not. Annoucer what an incredible cycling engine backed up with Great Saiyaman relenishing your deck, it was great...

i love how earth got some late game power. i hope they get some more in the next set. i'm also hoping for super to get some better turn 4 support warriors (besides trunks) and more low turn cost warriors w/ effects (like the goten and trunks from this set). i have some hopes for the other styles too, but i'll wait until i've seen all their cards to wish for what they will get.:) back on topic, i think this is one of the best theme previews i have seen on this site.
swordmaster
01-08-2009, 11:25 AM
I am impressed Tex I wish super could do that but that is awesome earth can I am very happy with this preview!
It also warms my hear to know you are play testing these decks! At times I wondered if card designers did that.

Or you could always use Huge difference in power with SS Trunks :D or just as good 2 Huge Difference in power with Pikkon for an OV every turn:eek:.
WolfwoodTheCross
01-08-2009, 12:31 PM
Huge Diffrence costs Earth Ki. So unless your making dual decks that won't work out, however since huge difference in power only costs 1 earth its perfect for any deck dualing with earth.
Demonic Genocide
01-08-2009, 12:34 PM
Thats pretty much what I was thinking there. It wouldnt be that hard for the chi either. Well Trunks may be a bit more difficult but Pikkon only cost one unique chi so that wouldnt be hard to get and with the ability to gain chi off your deck you have the one required every turn for the pikkon combo.

Great Sayaman has good stats, not bad effect, ok ability's and he cost 1 chi. Great card.
Announcer by turn 3 can draw a card on your opponents turn if need so. Nice card, can see him 2-3 in a Mono-Earth deck.
Appearance of a Hero great for Adventure decks.
Disguise Suit nice to make specific tech's fizzle.
Huge Difference in Power... Like the best tech ever created! This makes Earth jump the gun.

nope. he's just a regular SR in this set i believe, because at the bottom his three dots are white not red and he's wa-130

Great sayiaman: the 6 drop that earth needs will make mono possable
Hugediffrence: not only has it got a great art, it combo's well with thrash and help destroy your opponets bigger teams
Duiscuise suit: good at doudging kamehamaha and other nasty effects that rely on characteristics.
apperance: combo's welll with baba and good to make adventure decks

Saiyanman is awesome, all the other cards are neat

Here is my opinion:
Great Saiyaman: Awesome, great stats for one chi and effect is decent
Announcer: Earth loves to draw cards and announcer is a fairly good engine.
Appearance of a Hero: Could see some play but probably not. A dedicated Adventure deck will definitely have this in their deck and possibly a rush deck.
Disguise Suit: Can preemptively stop a Krillin's Kamehameha or on Turn 4 stop my opponent's Android 19/20 from using Absorpion of energy and turning off Evil Tribe or Red Ribbon for one guy could be useful.
Huge Difference in Power: It's is beyond great, the 4 Witches of Destructive Fury. Extremely easy to play and extremely effective, a great card.

Also, think of this: Earth seems to be a rycycling machine, it can draw cards and replenish cards back to the planet. This helps out with mills, and it also is awesome by itself (drawing cards rules!!!!)
Texan, if u can see how exitecd we are, thanks for making earth happen this set :)
I might just go mono earth.......

But the cards go to the bottom for GS and get shuffled in for Savior. They are just to keep from decking out, pretty much.

01-09-2009, 03:00 AM
poses would be epic, but seriously I do think earth passed super this set, I can't say I am ecstatic about super losing ground but i am happy it was earth that pulled passed it. Kinda like when your local football team has a better season than the team you normally root for. I really like the pikkon - huge difference in power combo. That is amazing, every victory is outstanding, well done Demonic Genocide :)

01-09-2009, 03:35 AM
Oh man, if Disguise Suit was only Action.... It would practically be a 1 anything negation for a lot of damage techniques.
"Krillin uses Kamehameha"
"Chain to that, Krillin isn't Hermit Style anymore, the technique fizzles."
*Images someone jumping Krillin mid-Kamehameha and putting a helmet on him, and suddenly he can't do it anymore*

I hear yah, but, i use villain now, so i no longer care about super, to many bad SR's.
But there is something about playing the good guys that make super and earth worth playing:cool:
To tell the truth, i don't like playing villain, i would much rather play super, but everything was so expensive i gave up after collecting 2 ss goku's and a ss gohan, plau super heal is going to be killed by villains. I might have to do earth cause they have great techs, and now a heavy hitter.
My Mono villain deck has no SR's in it and took roughly $25 to make
My Mono super deck i dumped over 50 bucks on
My villain has won me 3 games so far out of 3
My super won me one game out of 10
I might try mono earth now, i get to be good and play good guys :)
(btw, does sleepy boy fizzle four witches?)

i dont have any insider information but if everybody is not inlove with this tech then they have no idea how truely amazing it is. Just think about the differences between the two victories. it is basically 3 dammage for 1 chi.

Its more like 4 damage. 2 damage on the head killing him and 1 for each back warriors. So this card could do like 5 or 6 damage if there's Allys.

I think he meant is a +3 damage tech since you'd be getting 1 damage for a victory anyways. However good realization on the Allies. they are going to make any group targeting card better.
