May not be exactly what you ' re looking for , but I remember really enjoying the duels in Trudi Canavan ' s Black Magician Trilogy . I think they were in the second book . Beyond that the mage fights later in the series were really great as well . <| sep |> For the most part , yeah <| sep |> OUT ! OUT ! OUT ! <| sep |> the anime has a 8 . 04 on MAL , you ' re in good company <| sep |> No stones used . I was initially skeptical and thought a powerhouseteam with TURs or MonoAGL would work better than to bring those weak Super Buu or Piccolo cards but boy was I wrong . While I failed miserably with MonoAGL , with MonoTEQ they did a crap ton of damage to each form and made the fight really easy . As the Piccolo and Super Buu I used are farmable , I think that it ' s safe to say that you don ' t need a God leader and a SSJ 3 Gotenks friend should be enough .
