-Strategy-
When I came up with this deck, it was mainly just because I wanted to build a deck with Gotenks, him being my favorite Character. Unfortunately, Gotenks has never been known for being very good for the card game, so I was presented with a problem on how to play them. I thought Freestyle might work, but I still needed to decide on what personalities of Goten and Kid Trunks to play. After reading the Goten from Baby Saga, I knew it was the way to go. His power (Physical attacking doing PAT Power Stages, and +2 for each Non-Combat card you have in play) I've found to work wonderfully in a Freestyle Deck! I loaded the deck with plenty of big Damage Increasing Drills, to make both Goten and Gotenks' personality powers really work well. And then it hit me for another great idea for the deck, why not load the thing up with as many attacks with Remain as I can? With even just a few of my Damage Modding Drills in play, I can make attacks with Remain end up doing a lot of damage, and they'll need to block it both times to avoid the full effect!

So I decided on Goten for the MP, but I still needed Kid Trunks in there somewhere. I decided on Kid Trunks, Teenager, for his decent Energy Attack with some rejuv built in, although I rarely need to use him. I use South Kai Sensei to get him out First Turn, and then just wait for a Fusion Dance to show up. I think I've come to the conclusion the only way to make a Fusion Deck work, is not to rely on having to fuse, and just leave it as a helpful option.

The Deck is almost entirely Physical based, although there are a few Energies in it. Strength of the Dragon can be nice, because it's Unstoppable, and even though it doesn't trigger the Damage Modifier from Devastation Drill (Which only adds damage to Physical Attacks), all the other Mods still work, and can make this do some pretty nice, unstoppable damage. Big Bang Kamehameha is there for a similar reason, If I'm Goten, I can pay for 7 stages easier out of his 16, and when I'm fused, it may take up a large amount of Gotenks' 10 Power Stages, but with the Errata on it making it Unstoppable if any Fusion uses it, it's certainly worth it.

I at times would call this a "Heroic" Deck, since it is considerably more effective against Villains, although it still stands strong against fellow Heroes. One card that makes playing against Villains most fun is Trunks' Left Elbow Smash, which has Remain 3 if used against a Villain, with a base damage of PAT +5! As if that isn't potent enough, A few Devastation Drills, various other Modifiers, Chi-Chi's Cheering Drill (Which prevents your opponent from using Endurance) and a Blitz Drill (Which gives all Remain on your cards +1) those things can tear an entire Deck apart in a single combat! And even if they don't, I usually have more attacks with Remain in my hand, so once the proper Drills get out, it only takes one combat to win it all.

But often times, you aren't going to have all your best Drills near the top of your Deck, so you need some good Searching Abilities. Tree of Might not only let's me get a Freestyle Drill of my choice each Combat, but also is my Counter to City in Turmoil, which could otherwise hurt the foundation of this Deck. In addition, I have Long Journey, which let's me get 3 Drills during my Non-combat Step, but forces me to pass my next 2 Declare Steps, and Releasing the Sword, which lets me play all Non-Combats in the top 7 cards of my Life Deck when Entering Combat. Those help me get things out fast, but just to speed things along a little more, I put in Hero's Lucky Break, which can get out either of those two, or any other Non-Combat I'm in need of at the time.

Well, that basically sums up the Strategy behind this Deck, hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoy playing it! If this Deck sounds like something you want to try for yourself, go ahead and give it a go, and maybe even make your own adjustments to it, to really make it your own!

Happy Gaming!
