Stratagy
========
The basic deck idea is to use Goku's Physical Attack and Battle Pausing to create an infinite attack loop. To do this your discard pile has to be pretty low. That's why I opted for defensive cards that are removed from the game after use.

A couple of problems arise when pulling off this combo. You must have both Battle Pausing and Goku's Physical Attack in the same hand.
How to pull off the combo
=========================

The way I usually pull this combo off is that I put Earth Dragonball 3 and 5 into play, but I don't activate them just yet. I wait until It is my attack phase in combat and use them. Also if I happen to have a saiyan truce card in my hand I would use it about now so I canhave all the cards in my hand plus three extra cards for the next attack. Ussually this is enough to beat them. The most important factor on this deck is the way you discard your cards after combat. I will tell you how you should discard your cards in the paragraph below.

Pato's Art of discarding ======================== What will most likely win you the games is the way you discard your cards after combat. If you had the loop in your hand but your opponent stops the combat somehow you will be forced to discard to 1 card. The card you should keep in your hand is battle pausing. Also discard any extra battle pausings first so they are closer to/if not the bottom the discard pile. While discarding any of your Goku's Physical attacks last that way the will be on top of your discard pile. That way in the next combat you can use battle pausing to get back the goku's physical attack off the top of your discard while using Goku's physical attack to get the battle pausings from the bottom of your discard.

Blockbuster vs. Dominator

One of the things I was most eager to try was to play this deck against my Dominator. This wasn't a very pretty sight. The Blockbusters biggest weakness is decks that are designed to stop combats and if you don't hit the Dominator the first time around you probably won't get the chance to attack it ever again. This is what happened in all 10 games I played. It is possible for this deck to beat the dominator but very unlikely.
