tapkar uncensored

[razwit]

I'm trying real hard to find the best place for tapkar. his drawing abillity is amazing and I know it can excell at something more so than anyone else. I'd like everyone to help with 2 decks centered around tapkar. one I've built and I need minor suggestions on, and the other is floating around in my mind. I need a whole strategy for it.

deck one: Black tapkar DV deck
deck title: tapkar tha' cheep ass mofo
MP: tapkar 1-3
mastery: black style mastery majin buu saga
Sensei: N/A
Main deck:
Black personal Smack X3
Dragons Victory X3
Mark of the dragon
straining diving punch move X3
piccolo and heros gather
krillin's concentration
unpredictable
time is a warriors tool
super saiyan effect
speaking with the king drill X3
brothers in trainingX3
Black dark Energy X3
Straining double punch move X3
Black body destruction X2
Black diving elbow strike X2
Black swivel attack X3
Alt. dende Dragon ball 7
straining crybaby move X2
Krillin unleashed
expectant trunks
heroic power detonation X2
vegeta's physical stance
nappa's energy aura
cell's charge
black evil glare X3

the deck will win first turn if they don't have a sphere most of the time, there has been some very jacked up draws in the past, so I want everyone's help to remedy that.

the second deck I haven't built yet. I want to try tapkar in a red training deck. with his abillity to draw massive hands I can do +10 life cards by the last attack most of the time first turn theoretically, and second combat have a 10 to 15 card hand. this seemed very useful to me but I want everyones imput still.

cards I must have in the deck:
most of the red cards that train X3
red axe heel kick X3
Mark of the dragon
Red blowback X3 (some one help me trade for them)
red left bolt X3
red fient X2
gust of wind

those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. firstly, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the concept, but past that please suggest anything you want, single cards, deck lists whatever, and I'd most appreciate commentary from someone whose seen a deck like this. I'll take all of it into consideration.

Well Razwit what I would suggest for the Tapkar training would be to add more red cards that get gards back into your hand. Such as Red Throwdown and Pummell. I can help you get those easily. Also don't forget to add all the training cards and abilities. Tapkar levels way to fast so for both of your decks I would like to suggest keeping your drills to a minimum. However for the training deck you may use Red Meditation Drills to keep your useful red drills such as Red Cooking Drill and Red Exercise Drill in play. That's my two cents, and don't worry anything you need for red I have.

[razwit]

I was thinking like 2 non-combats and running CIT. I think it should be as fast as possible. here's what I threw together off the cards I own. this pile definately sucks but it pulled off a second turn kill on SWK, it was sooooooooo freakin lucky, didn't miss once. and drew a 10 hit first hand.

that's a...start. If I'm there this Saturday I will definately help you make it better. You just lack some of the better red cards and I believe I can assist you there.

[razwit]

ok, what's your thoughts on running it almost like a blazing deck, in that, you put the in combat DB searchers in like red cells evil plans. this will boost the already massive hand size, and possibly give the attacks an extra boost depending on what DB's I use.

I'm also considering hero's heart is strong to assist tapkar on the move. are there any other ways to remove either selective cards from my discard pile or just remove it all together through combat cards?

[Overlord]

razwit, why don't you consider rush? The problem with Tapkar having a massive hand size is that his power rating is crap and he does not have a whole lot of power stages to pay for energy attacks. So your best bet would be to hit more often so I think either rush or CS red would work better.

[razwit]

the training offers more damage after I perform every single attack. after two attacks I do more damage than the CS mastery. also rush has a relationship issue with tapkar, especially in higher levels, tapkar removes vast amounts of his own cards from the game. Rush doesn't work with that crap happening constantly. also, there are much better personallities for rush and I may as well use them if I'm going in that direction. and if I do that, I end up with an overdone deck that I'm sick of. all in all, mentor is the only beatdown style that can actually work with tapkar effectively. see, by having an obscene hand size, I do more damage (alot like rush only life cards) with every attack and I don't have to worry about crucial cards getting removed, because I'm not rush.

I've thought about every red avenue before I posted a single letter about this deck, unless there's another color that helps tapkar out more, I'm sticking with the mentor mastery.

[Overlord]

the thing you got to understand about rush is that no card is crucial to the decks' success. every card in there does the same thing and so removing a few of them doesn't really make or break the game, trust me I know. however, you're right, before we jump to conclusions why don't we see how well this deck plays as mentor and then if in the future you decide it doesn't work to your liking you can always try another form of red.

[razwit]

I'd say it did pretty good today. also the same you said about rush is true for the training.

I got a new question, should I scrap my black tapkar for this? I think the black is at it's peak, there's only so much you can do with tapkar and DV. but it is fun every two games or so to see it succeed.

[Overlord]

Yeah, I'd keep the red one. You should finish that and once I finish mine we'll be able to guage it's potential properly but you can't argue with today's results.
