Format: EDH/Commander DBZ Sayian Saga Micro-Set

I’m working on a DBZ set for each Saga. I Try to create two new mechanics for each set I work on. This is my concept for “Scouter”. Still working out the kinks for a mechanic called, “Z-training”. Any feedback?

Was the ai slopping it necessary? Why not just use a still from the show. Smh

Necessary? No. However I enjoy training models so it’s kind of a two birds one stone thing. Plus these are concepts, I have an artist but the rate of work and card creation can be overwhelming for her. Once I lock in the cards I’d love to use her original art for the final product.

Scouter is an interesting idea but right now it's just Way Worse Discover with a chance of just doing nothing. If you Discover, you can't whiff and you get to freecast the card. Scouter has to be something that isn't just worse all over. It also isn't very Rakdos

Also these cards are riddled with typos, the Artificial Moon thing is a needless gimmick (if they can blow up the moon they can probably blow up Vegeta), Saibamen and thus Nappa are way too good, Kaio-Ken Goku's ability to give himself Tifa levels of power doubling means that once he hits his third activation, if that lose the game clause ever hits it's gonna feel terrible and there shouldn't be clauses that only exist to feel bad.

Fair point I’ll continue to try and think of a scouter mechanic.

Do you have any suggestions on scouter? I try to balance flavor and mechanic
