Um, so, uh, first up, we've got the Bionic Strike MechaFrieza leader card from Dragon Ball Super, my first game, my dearly beloved.
Um-
Bro, the front side of this card looks like the craziest-
[laughs]
[laughs]
Holy shit.
Okay.
So this was, um...
This guy came out, I believe, second or, like, third set for the game.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, this was in the meta right before I jumped in.
Uh-
Right before fighting in the phone booth.
Yes, correct.
Uh-
That definitely frames how good this has to be.
So- Uh, go, I, if, if you'd like, go ahead and read the front side.
The back side is very similar.
Permanent.
When you activate an extra card, you may choose one card in your life and add it to your hand.
If you do reduce the energy cost of that extra card by one for the duration of the turn.
If this reduces the energy cost of that extra card to less than one, you may activate the card without paying the specified cost.
At awaken, when your life is at four or less, you can draw two and flip it over into Bionic Strike MechaFrieza.
And the Bionic Strike MechaFrieza has the same effect as the first one, and then it reduces the cost by two, and it also has attack, draw a card.
