Back to posting and the impact of rule change.

Hi guys, Its been nearly a century since i posted anything here. mainly cause Vanguard was quite boring with only sing saver/Abyss topping everywhere. But now, all that is gonna change and the game is gonna get slightly more interesting. basically there has been a rule change. each player can only play a deck of single clan aka no more ogre/sssd prostitution. next is, Royal paladin can have up to 4 blaster dark in their deck. which means bye bye sing abyss. lastly, if you were to be in legion and had yet to return your 4 cards back you may not do so anymore.So how does this affect the current meta state? firstly, there is not gonna be anymore tournaments with only sing abyss in the top 8. secondly,there is not gonna be any decks that run sssd as their finishing VG. lastly, VG will be back to being monotonous again LOL.

what are some decks that will be dominant now? 1st) Sing saver. this bad boy is not going anywhere anytime soon. restanding automatically makes this tier 1. and not mention it can restand twice in a turn.  2nd) Perdition.This deck has the capability to win in a single turn just like sssd does. Break riding over dauntless drive dragon with perdtition dragon dragonewt is a really painful play and will neg your opp by alot. and btw dauntless is not a minus 1 incase people dont know. 3rd)Link jokers. Lock is the most powerful ability in the game. plus with deletors coming out this clan is gonna break the game. locking 1 RG instantly nets you a plus 2. There are some other decks that might be strong but i feel these are the big 3 of the format. potential one i feel is big bang knucle buster. a cross ride legion that wipes field? LOL what?everyone remembers how strong vermillion was. now we have a even more powerful one. This deck might potentially be the one that counters every other deck. but unfortunatly it does not restand or lock cards. so i will put it at 4th place for now.

well i hope this post was interesting enough for everyone to read. please leave any comments if you have.

Star-vader, "Ω" Glendios

[AUTO](VC) Limit Break 5 (This ability is active if you have five or more damage):At the beginning of your main phase, if the number of your opponent's locked cards is five or more, you win. [ACT](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Counter Blast (1) & Choose one card with "Яeverse" in its card name from your hand, and discard it] All of your opponent's locked cards cannot be unlocked during your opponent's next end phase. [AUTO](VC):When a unit with "Яeverse" in its card name is placed on your (RC), choose one of your opponent's rear-guards, and lock it. This ability cannot be used for the rest of that turn. [CONT](VC):All of your rear-guards with "Яeverse" in its card name are also «Link Joker», and during your turn, those units get [Power]+4000. At the Season 3 Finale and here we are, the final boss of Link Joker(hopefully). This is one beast of a monster, taking what we know about vanguard and throwing it out the window. The first skill it has is just game breaking, allowing you to declare win just because you lock-ed 5 units. Personally, I think this effect will go off 2/10 games to be honest. 5 Units is kinda steep and you might as well have rammed your opponent to death by then anyway. The second skill is where this card truly shines. A cheap cost of CB1 and a Reverse unit allows you to extend lock for another turn is just soo good for this card. Triangle lock? Stay there for 2 turns! However this gets PWNED hard by all unlockers and I'm sure BT15 will have more. The other two effects just aid you in getting the 5 locks and a nice boost to your reverse units if you do call them. ========================================================================= You may wonder, how does one play other clans in his deck, well we have this
[AUTO](VC/Soul):[Choose a card with "Reverse" in its name from your hand, and discard it] At the beginning of your ride phase, if you have a «Link Joker» vanguard, and your vanguard is not grade 3 or greater, you may pay the cost. If you do, look at five cards from the top of your deck, search for up to one «Link Joker», reveal it to your opponent, put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck. This card practically allows you to never misgrade as long as you have a Reverse unit in your hand to discard. Search for any grade for 3 turns, pretty impressive.This card allows you to run Reverse units in your deck in multiples without worrying if you will misride. A must play card in all Omega decks. Will this card be game defying or just over-hyped? Time will tell.

2013 Cardfight Vanguard world championship results

The world championships are over and first place goes to Almeida Stewart from Europe. He piloted a DDD/DOTE deck. second place was taken by Albert Lee from north america piloting Nova grapplers. and third was Adwin leong from Singapore!. he played EDD. It feels proud when a friend whom you play test with has reached to top 3 of the world championship. I remember when lost to Adwin at the top 16 during our National qualifiers cause my hand was rubbish haha. There were a total of 7 EDD, 1 Nova and 1 Dauntless dote. But kudos to the winner for defying the EDD meta and taking his DDD/DOTE all the way!
