Upgrading the FS03 Broly Starter Deck (Green Ramp)

The Broly starter is the best ramp foundation in Fusion World. Here's how its Leader actually works — and how to turn the base deck into a real Green ramp build, in roles you can fill with current cards.

The FS03 -Broly- Starter Deck is Fusion World's Green deck, and Green is the game's ramp color — it manipulates your Energy Area to power out big threats ahead of schedule. Out of the box, FS03 is a complete, playable 51-card deck that teaches that plan, but like any starter it leans on plain cards and isn't tuned for competition. The good news is it sits on one of the strongest foundations in the game, so a focused round of upgrades takes it a long way.

This guide does two things. First, it explains exactly how the FS03-01 Broly Leader works — because the deck's whole engine runs through his awaken and his energy-into-Drop ability, and getting that right matters more than any single card. Second, it lays out an upgrade plan in roles rather than a brittle shopping list, so it stays useful as the card pool grows: what to prioritize, what to trim, and how to think about the deck's curve.

Card values move constantly, so we keep pricing qualitative. For exact current lists, cross-reference a live decklist site — the framework here tells you what each slot should do; current data tells you which printing fills it best today. For the wider format, start at our Fusion World hub.

The Short Version

FS03-01 Broly is a Green Leader, 15,000 power (25,000 awakened). Unawakened, he draws when he attacks. He awakens when your life is 4 or less — and crucially, awakening puts a life card into your Energy Area, so you trade a life for an extra energy (the heart of the green ramp plan). Awakened, he still draws on attack and gains an [Activate Battle] once-per-turn: place 1 energy in your Drop to draw a card and gain +5,000 power — turning surplus energy into cards and a 30,000-power swing. To upgrade FS03, lean into that engine: more ways to ramp energy, enough cheap combo cards to survive the early turns, efficient removal to stabilize, and a couple of high-impact finishers (the deck's exclusive 8-cost is the prized one). Build by roles and confirm exact cards against a current list.

How the Broly Leader Works

Everything in this deck runs through FS03-01 Broly, so it's worth knowing his exact text rather than a rough idea of it. He's a Green Leader with the Saiyan trait, 15,000 power unawakened and 25,000 awakened.

Unawakened: [When Attacking] Draw 1 card. So you should attack essentially every turn — even into an equal-power Leader — because the draw is free value. That's two cards a turn (your draw step plus the attack draw).

Awaken: When your life is at 4 or less, draw 1 card, then flip. The catch that defines the deck: awakening sends a life card into your Energy Area, so you effectively trade one life for an extra energy and sit at 3 life afterward. That's not a downside to avoid — it's the ramp.

Awakened: [When Attacking] Draw 1 card, plus [Activate Battle] [Once per turn] place 1 of your energy in your Drop to draw a card, then this card gets +5,000 power for the turn — a 30,000-power Leader swing that also refills your hand.

Read together, Broly is a draw-and-ramp engine wearing a Legendary Super Saiyan's face. He turns attacks into cards, turns lost life into energy, and turns surplus energy into still more cards and power. The upgrade plan is simply about feeding that engine.

The Green Ramp Plan

Green is Fusion World's ramp color — it manipulates the Energy Area to get ahead on resources, then deploys high-cost Battle Cards opponents can't yet answer. Early in the game's life, Green established itself as one of the strongest identities precisely because a stabilized ramp deck becomes a late-game machine.

The Green Litmus Test

A good rule for what earns a slot: a card should either (a) accelerate your energy or dig toward your threats, (b) act as cheap combo fuel to protect your life while you set up, or (c) affect the board on the way in — removal or a body that demands an answer. Cards that just sit there with vanilla stats are the first to cut.

Upgrade Priorities, by Role

Rather than a fixed shopping list — which dates the moment a new set drops — here's what to upgrade by role. Fill each with the best current Green card you can find, checking a live decklist for exact printings:

  • Energy ramp (most important). Prioritize Battle Cards whose effect places an extra card from hand or deck into your Energy Area. These are your turn-2 and turn-3 plays and the reason the deck functions — more consistent ramp is almost always your best upgrade.
  • Searchers / digging. Cards that look at the top few cards and add a Saiyan (or your key piece) to hand smooth the curve and find your finishers. Consistency is what lets a ramp deck reach its payoff reliably.
  • Efficient removal. A mid-cost Battle Card with an On Play that KOs an opponent's attacker buys you the time to ramp. This is your turn-4-ish stabilizer — a body that also clears a threat is worth far more than raw stats.
  • Finishers. The deck's exclusive 8-cost (FS03-10 — you get two in the starter) is the prized payoff and a feared closer; it's the most sought-after starter card for good reason. As the pool grows, the best booster finishers slot in here. You don't need many — ramp decks want a small, high-impact top end.
  • Combo fuel & Super Combos. Keep your full allotment of Super Combos (the rules let every deck run up to four), plus a healthy density of cards with 10,000 combo power for everyday defense — more on that below.

Cut, in turn, the vanilla bodies and any clunky high-cost cards that don't ramp, remove a threat, or protect your life. In a ramp deck, every non-ramping, non-impactful card is a turn you didn't accelerate.

Surviving the Early Game

Because your first few turns go to ramping rather than defending, aggressive decks will swing at your Leader repeatedly. In Fusion World you defend with the cards in your hand during the Combo Step, and managing that resource is what keeps a ramp deck alive long enough to win.

  • 10,000-combo density. Stock plenty of cards printed with +10,000 combo power. These are your everyday defense — pitched to blunt standard 15,000-power attacks without burning your premium cards. Track how many your list runs; too few and you bleed out before you stabilize.
  • Save your Super Combos. The 0-cost +20,000 Super Combos are your emergency button. Don't spend them blunting small early hits, and don't bury them in your Energy Area except in a genuine emergency — hold them for the swing that would otherwise be lethal.

The starter's combo suite is serviceable but thin for competitive play; raising your combo-card quality and count is one of the highest-value upgrades you can make, even though it's less flashy than a new finisher.

Awaken Timing

Here's a subtlety that trips up new Broly players: because he only awakens at 4-or-less life, a savvy opponent may stop attacking you to keep you stuck unawakened and off your ramp. The fix is to control your own life total.

FS03 includes cards that let you move a life card to your hand or otherwise lower your own life on your terms — letting you drop to 4 and awaken when you want, rather than waiting on the opponent. Used well, taking measured early damage isn't reckless; in this deck your life total partly functions as fuel, since awakening converts a life into energy.

A note of caution, though:

Don't treat your life as limitless. Awakening already costs you a life (down to 3), and against fast Red or Yellow aggression those margins are thin. Lower your own life deliberately and only when you have the combo cards in hand to survive the turns that follow — not on autopilot.

Common Mistakes

Not attacking when you "can't" do anything.

Broly draws when he attacks, awakened or not. Swing into the opposing Leader almost every turn for the free card, even if they'll just block — the draw is the point.

Cutting ramp to add bigger bodies.

It's tempting to load up on finishers, but a ramp deck that can't ramp just dies holding expensive cards. Protect your energy-acceleration count above all.

Wasting Super Combos early.

Blowing a 0-cost +20,000 to stop a routine early hit leaves you defenseless against the lethal swing later. Defend small attacks with 10k-combo fuel; save the big guns.

Treating the starter as the finished deck.

FS03 is a base, not a tournament list. Expect to add booster ramp, removal, and combo cards — and to confirm exact choices against a current decklist, since the best printings shift each set.

FAQ & Quick Reference

  • When does Broly awaken? When your life is at 4 or less. Awakening draws a card and moves a life card into your Energy Area, so you go to 3 life but gain an energy — and Broly becomes a 25,000-power Leader.
  • What does awakened Broly's energy ability do? Once per turn, place 1 of your energy in your Drop to draw a card and give Broly +5,000 power for the turn — a 30,000-power swing that also refills your hand.
  • What's the most valuable starter card? The exclusive 8-cost finisher (FS03-10), which you get two of in the deck — long the most sought-after starter card and a feared closer once Broly stabilizes.
  • Is FS03 a good first deck? Yes — it's a complete, ready-to-play Green ramp deck on a strong foundation. It rewards upgrading, but you can learn the whole ramp game plan straight out of the box.
  • Leader: FS03-01 Broly, Green, 15,000 / 25,000 awakened, draws on attack.
  • Awaken: at 4-or-less life; a life becomes energy (you sit at 3 life).
  • Awakened ability: place 1 energy in Drop → draw + 5,000 power (once/turn).
  • Upgrade priority: ramp first, then searchers, removal, finishers, combo fuel.
  • Defense: high 10k-combo density; save your 0-cost Super Combos.
  • Mindset: attack for the draw, ramp relentlessly, awaken on your terms.

Where to Buy

The FS03 -Broly- starter is sold sealed; Amazon and eBay are the easy stops. For the booster singles you'll want to upgrade the ramp, removal, and combo slots, TCGplayer and Card Kingdom are the places to look. Prices vary by retailer, so compare before buying.

Control the Energy, Control the Game.

FS03 -Broly- is a great starting point because its Leader is a genuine engine: he draws on every attack, converts lost life into energy when he awakens, and turns surplus energy into still more cards and power. Upgrade it by feeding that engine — prioritize ramp, add searchers and efficient removal, keep your combo defense dense, and run a small, high-impact top end led by the deck's exclusive 8-cost. Think in roles, confirm exact cards against a current list, and pilot it with discipline: attack for the draw, ramp relentlessly, and awaken on your own terms.
