How To Play the Dragon Ball Super Card Game in 2022! In Depth Guide!

[@Eheth1958]

I used to just buy the cards to collect them. I’ll give it a go!

[@adamholloway8467]

Dude, This is the best guide I've seen for this card game. Props to you man, now someone has finally put in the work and care to make something that clearly explains this game in a palatable way.

[@StageZeroTCG]

thank you!

[@txdarkknight]

I agree with this statement!

[@benco3342]

True

[@ethanlikesfnaf]

i play lots of pokemon TCG and wanted to learn and play a new card game this summer. although this is longer than most other guides it’s the best and most amazing guide yet

[@StageZeroTCG]

thanks!

[@capnmorg7057]

So nice to see an updated “How to play” video for this game. Started the game when it first released but took a hiatus, just recently picked it back up again and needed a refresher. Thank you for the very detailed video! Definitely needed some help with the major keyword functions 😁

[@traversetowndistrict4922]

I was given a stack of 45 cards from a friend who knew I played yugiho so I'm glad I now know how to play

[@StageZeroTCG]

awesome to hear!

[@RisingPhoenixOdysseySSG]

Going to save to pass this along. Definitely need more of these floating around and easier to find. Good 👍 thorough explanations.

[@zygarlio9885]

Just watching this guide for the upcoming dbz online card game.

[@bailbolandollbol]

Only guide that has made the game make sense, excellent video

[@giannog89]

Excellent tutorial for new players! I'll will spread it on our tcgs communities, thanks!

[@Shloppie]

I don't even play. The cards are so nutty and over the top I love it!

[@yeahitsevelyn]

I can’t wait to get a hang of this game more, I wish i had someone like you irl to do a trial run of a game with! I learned a lot in the video, but the real learning will come once i do it myself ✊

[@StageZeroTCG]

love to hear that! I'm not always around but my discord in the description is available and I'm sure someone can help. I also recommend hermit style discord and the official discord

[@yeahitsevelyn]

@@StageZeroTCG Ah okay, thank you 🙏!!

[@nicholasmotz]

Awesome man! I was actually thinking why there isn’t more recent videos on this. Anymore more instructional videos about DBS CG coming? Again great job

[@StageZeroTCG]

I plan to do more ruling specific videos, budget and some new player videos

[@nicholasmotz]

@@StageZeroTCG cool! My wife started playing, but I think she’ll learn more watching something new and from someone who knows the game better then I

[@k12bn]

Dang ... You explained it the best ... I still share this video to this day.. 🙏 should come back

[@Demyx.IX.]

I bought a pack for nostalgia, and in it was the new Piccolo & Gohan SCR, and the more i gawk over the card, the more id like to know how to use it, thanks for this guide!

[@StageZeroTCG]

that's sick! welcome to the game!

[@Demyx.IX.]

@@StageZeroTCG appreciate it man, this game is so complex im worried ill never actually play..... i havent played a card game since pre GX Yugioh, and this is a bit intimidating 😅

[@ITzMewtu]

Heya, dunno if ya will see this comment but I really appreciate your video man. I recently got into the DBS card game with the Cell Ultimate Deck 2022 and your video is like the best explaination. Thanks alot because starting a new card game like this tends to get overwhelming at times and honestly I've been wanting to approach it since a long time

[@StageZeroTCG]

I'm very glad to hear! check out my discord or the Facebook group I had in the video and I'm sure there's plenty who would like to help. keep at the game, it's easily the best mechanically, and just keep it simple until you get into locals or tournaments. cell is a great pick as well since it features plenty of combos/keywords that other starter decks don't.

[@jeanthmc3561]

I want to start a tcg game. I was thinking yu if oh or Pokemon. Then I saw this. I’m a huge dragon ball fan and I’m sure I will enjoy this once my ordered decks for me and my bro come

[@jwilskis4278]

This is a amazing video, I just stated getting into it a few days ago so I didn’t really know anything. But this helped a lot so I’m definitely subscribing

[@StageZeroTCG]

thanks! let me know if you have questions or ask in the discord that's in the description as well

[@jonathangagne88]

By far the best how to play ! Good job 👏

[@irinilisikatou3799]

This is really helpful! I used it when playing with my friends for the first time

[@beyblader460]

I been playing mtg for 12 years this game looks like alot fun kinda reminds me of commander I think I want to build a baby vegeta deck and Majin buu deck

[@JJK-oy2ld]

Thankfor making this video I'm brand new to DBZ trading cards(the cards are such good quality and beautiful) and plan to start playing the game and this video has helped explain alot I might have questions thought lol.

[@molish77_yt]

This is gonna help me a lot when the digital version of the dbs card game cones our! Awesome vid man keep it up! This card game looks so fun to play! Lots of cards and looks so complax and strategic! You got a sub bro!

[@N8sobes]

Instant Sub. THANK YOU for this video bro. I JUST got into this game and this explains it so well.

[@StageZeroTCG]

awesome to hear!!

[@Halfdanr_H]

Thank you for making this video, your explanations made things so much easier to understand 🙂

[@Blazergutz]

Thanks for this video dude!! very insightful

[@Cookie-TJ]

Watching to prep for the upcoming digital beta.

[@MTGNerd89]

Very helpful! Thanks 👍🏻

[@bottlenecked]

God this game is so needlessly complicated. You did a good job of explaining it though!

[@AirFairGaming]

Awesome video!

[@angelos_triforce3436]

Hey, great video!! I bought my first starter deck yesterday and I was wondering: once you attack with a battle card, do you have to put that card in your drop pile?

[@StageZeroTCG]

nope! it goes into rest mode and stays that way until your next turn when you switch all your cards to active during the start of your turn

[@robertodemarco2018]

That should make an online game for it since we never got to play hero's

[@MommiCofi]

So, there are cards that have a cool down before you can use them? Just want to make sure I understand. I'm coming back into the game after a couple of years lol

[@2013khristian]

Hi There, I am new to the game and have a few questions for you. I bought the ultimate box and looking to buy the forsaken warrior box, ultimate squad box, 5th anniversary box and ultimate deck box because I think those don’t have too many duplicates between each other. Do you think I will have enough cards at the end for 4 to 6 people to play as an example? Do you think those are good boxes to purchase? Do you recommend other boxes as a better purchase? What should new players focus on first when getting into this game? Let me know your thoughts Regards,

[@Sscars2099]

Do you have a Facebook also? Was hoping that a after I build out decks I can bounce them off you and get an opinion?

[@bobjohnson1633]

I was going through storage and came upon my og Z, GT, and YuYu cards. Never played the other games. Was curious about whatever this is

[@StageZeroTCG]

welcome! try it out and I'm sure you'll like it!

I play yugioh and pokemon now bout to learn dbz

welcome!!

[@thelistofjustin1356]

Thanks for this bro.

[@Kewickviper]

How come there's no mention of Z cards? Me and my friend have just picked this up and our decks have Z cards in them, but theres no mention here?

[@qwertyman459]

i would like vegeta as hes my fav.

[@NeonTownExchange_Jack]

I wanna pick this game up. Whats a good starter to get?

[@DarkDemonicDating666]

Do energies stack? As in, they always remain in the zone. And... If I play a 2 with 2 green energies. Can I then play 2 1 costs and 1 green energy each?

[@StageZeroTCG]

I'm not sure if you're confusing energy with the cost within a card while it's in energy. you can play a 2 cost with two energy and 2 one costs with whatever matching energy, so that should be ok

[@tracysprouserealtor-coldwe4672]

If your card reads “Activate: Main (energy cost) discard this card from your hand if….” you are using an energy and activating the cards main while it is in your hand and discarding? If the requirements are met.

[@StageZeroTCG]

yup. that sounds right and you would pay energy, then discard from your hand or area it tells you. if you have a card, I can take a look at it

[@tracysprouserealtor-coldwe4672]

@@StageZeroTCG If the card is in the warp, you would burst 1 and play it from your warp? Birth of the Crimson Hero...So you Activate: Main or Battle on cards NOT in your hand or in play?

[@smush5653]

Long time fan of DBZ but man I find this TCG confusing. 18 mins in and I’m still lost 😂

[@StageZeroTCG]

what's the most difficult part to understand?

[@yourik.1260]

i am interested in getting into this game but what i realy wanna know is this playable in a 3 player format as well like mtg ?

[@StageZeroTCG]

there is no official 3 player format at the moment! if it's 3v3, then it's different and usually are side events.

[@yourik.1260]

@@StageZeroTCG i see so its not gonna be for my 3 man boardgame group then i guess but thats okay can stll have some fun with duels as well thanks for the answer

[@fgmez080193]

Do leader cards count towards the total deck card amount?

[@scottduffy5552]

I think you answered this…but can a cards auto ability be triggered if you use them for a combo?

[@StageZeroTCG]

sure, if it has an auto that needs to use the combo step

[@angelos_triforce3436]

Hi , lovely vid! I was wondering, can you only place energy in the charge phase? Or when you bring out a card in the main phase that you have to pay energy for, do you get out the energy then?

[@StageZeroTCG]

yeah, you only get energy during the charge phase but there are specific cards and leaders such as SS4, Ultimate Evolution that can provide you energy through effects

[@cryter1564]

you are awesome, thank you

[@ethanrathke8897]

Definitely wanna get into this but don’t have any friends who play, is there any good online ways to play?

[@StageZeroTCG]

a digital client has been announced!

[@JeremyHerd12]

Does every card count as 1 energy only for their specific color? Or no? Is there cards that count as 2+ energy?

[@Sscars2099]

Just getting into the game with some friend. Do you also have a how to play with the z leader and battle cards?

[@StageZeroTCG]

welcome! did your friends introduce you? I didn't make one because Bandai put out an official guide but I plan to make a new guide in 2023

[@Sscars2099]

@@StageZeroTCG I’ve always been a Dragonball fan but one of the times out they played a quick game of DBS and I loved the art. So I’m learning to play so I can play them and also build my son his own deck to play.

[@EnemyTec]

Hi, nice video!! Im new to DB Super card game, I just bought a DB Super “unsearched” bulk card lot of 100 which is supposed to contain 5-6 foils, I understand I won’t be getting anything of value but will I be able to play and build a beginner/ weak deck to start learning out of it?? Cause I know with Yugioh it’s unlikely you’ll get cards that’ll work well together at all unless they happen to be from the same sets or decks

[@StageZeroTCG]

unfortunately in this game, uncommons and commons won't get too far. you do need staples and certain cards to play in highly level competitive events, but that doesn't mean it won't work as a deck. I would recommend to check out egmanevents.com and take a look at the latest lists and compare to what you have.

[@EnemyTec]

@@StageZeroTCG wow thanks for your help! I am just stepping foot into DB Super TCG

[@michaelshiakallis4508]

Thank you for this - do you mind explaining SS Son Goku Pride of the Saiyans battle card to me, specifically the first auto effect that talks about "if there is a card with an energy cost of 4 under this card: my specific question is how would that Son Goku card end up under this card? It does not have evolve and it is not a unison card so i am confused as to what would trigger having cards under this green battle card

[@StageZeroTCG]

you're welcome! there are a couple of ways but the way it was intended is that 'Intensive Training Son Goku' was released in the same set and you just use the activate main on that card to place it on top

[@rickwhite9943]

I'm new to this game, but am confused if there are multiple conditions for the character names like in the Z-Leader SS4 Son Goku, Tearful Awakening P-458. It shows Z-Awaken When your life is at 4 or less : Red ＜Son Goku : GT＞ ＜Pan＞ ＜Trunks : GT＞. Can I just use a Pan Leader card to Z-Awaken or do I need a leader card with all 3 characters on it?

[@ryansroad22]

Does this apply to this Zenkai series I’m seeing? Not bought my first deck yet but Trying to figure out what to buy and how to play it 😅

[@StageZeroTCG]

this is a little outdated but I'll be updating it sometime in January!

[@ryansroad22]

@@StageZeroTCG awesome! Already subbed anyway. Will be looking forward to that updated video ☺️

[@benco3342]

How do you activate battle and leader skills?

[@yeahmaybe1177]

Probably not the best idea to call autos a keyword skill- people are probably gonna misunderstand certain cards (ex: dark power black masked saiyan) Also good to remind people that a card played with over realm goes to the warp at the end of the turn it is played with over realm- lol even good players forget to take them off their board sometimes

[@StageZeroTCG]

oh yeah, I think thats something that was considered but really, both of those things something that a person will learn through specific experiences

[@gooseteeth5455]

I played this game the day it came out since set one but i haven't played since set two. would you say it's worth it for me to get back into the game at this point or would it be too hard to build back up and make new decks. The best deck I had at the time was a blue vegito deck if that's still relevant at all. I really liked this game when it came out but I'm just not sure how much ease of access there is anymore.

[@StageZeroTCG]

welcome back! I think you should look into the newest set, dawn of the Z Legends and the last set for more archetype based decks to get into it, such as yellow trunks/Vegeta, U7 Goku, Red Syn, Green cooler, blue Gamma and more.

[@gooseteeth5455]

@@StageZeroTCG alright, thanks! I'll look into some cheaper decks I could build and maybe some decent starter decks to buy.

[@sufiyakigames]

Question. Can we spam activate: main on a single card? Since there is no once per turn.

[@StageZeroTCG]

sure, as long as there isn't an activate main, limit or says that it can't be activated again.

[@benco3342]

Also what are z cards?

[@xlAaRoNlx1]

Why do you guys point to the deck wave your hands over cards like it’s sorcery

[@danielmelvin4525]

how do you tell what color energy your card is? you say 3 cost and 2 had to be green how do I tell what color the energy cards are?

[@StageZeroTCG]

usually energy color is located in the top left with the specified cost or at the bottom right circle color.

[@TheOffside0423]

If I can learn yugioh, I can learn this

[@StageZeroTCG]

true! what made you look into learning this?

[@nathanielg4]

Can you update this video plz if able

[@oshishivar4587]

What happen im block lesser power battle card? The lesser power card destroyed?

[@StageZeroTCG]

if you're asking if you block with something with lower power against something with higher attack power. the blocker would be ko'd.

[@shadowsoul720]

I need help. I've been searching everywhere. If I activate a keyword skill on a battle card in hand, do I need to pay for the card's play cost via energy, if it can seemingly be paid without such? I.e: here's a card I've been looking at; "Majin Buu, Brilliant Absorption" - BT14-079. I assume the spirit boost would be the cost.

[@StageZeroTCG]

yup, you got it right. you would need to pay the cost from your unison for spirit boost before playing the card. another example would be Android 14 & Android 15, the Ravagers, there is no cost but you follow what it says after. it would be different if it did not refer to the hand, which means it has to be from the battle area.

[@shadowsoul720]

​@@StageZeroTCG Okay awesome, thank you! I got pretty thrown off when some locals spoke about how you have to pay the energy cost in order to activate BT15-072 Son Gohan, Rageful Flurry's skill from the hand, when it seems to activate from the hand similarly (for free). But it seemed pretty good for a common card.

[@DwhitePrime]

Wait how did you combo with out energy?

[@StageZeroTCG]

is there a time stamp you're referring to?

[@secretlairgaming]

would this still be relevant current day?

[@StageZeroTCG]

for the most part, yes. it does need to be updated but most, if not all, information is still applicable
