Major Spades with 2 different deck builds that feature the clan Angel Feather. My first build will be a Protect 1 build and the second a Protect 2 build. I like Angel Feather's unique mechanic of manipulating the damage zone. Now with Angel Feather in the Shinemon Arc, Angel Feather had the ability to board control, but Cleanup Celestial Ramiel Reverse was the first unit to do that but not that much. However, Angel Feather now having damage zone manipulation and board control is fun. Far as I can remember, I played Angels when Ramiel and Zerachiel came out during break ride era. The strengths of Angel Feather now is that it has units that heal on ride like Metatron and Malkuth, they have a unit that can superior ride and generate mutiple Protect markers (Zerachiel) and they have the option to board control. The weaknesses I can think of is that its very reliant on having Malkuth be the first ride for early healing or dealing an early damage to the opponent's Vanguard, it is a Protect deck which means it may or may not fair well with Accel match ups and it doesn't do well against clans that rush or pressure early game. The Protect 1 build is meant to maintain damage, controlling opponent's board state and filling up board from Malkuth skill. Protect 2 build loses that board control and mainly focus on generating as much markers on board to pop off Amputation and Sectio Angel's skills utilizing the Protect 2 gift by having Sectio intercept from anywhere and becoming a big shield depending on how many markers are on her plus having Amputation Angel gain 15k and sentinel restrict. Now to the profiles:<br />

Major Spades here with a deck profile. This time I will be introducing my Dark Irregular deck profile before the May 22nd ban. In my opinion, Dark Irregulars are a very unique and a fun clan with having skills of gaining soul for the Vanguard to kick off various abilities. I liked Dark Irregulars since limit break when Blade Wing, Reijy came out. My personal favorite was "Darkness" with Scharhrot. Scharhrot is my favorite unit because of his art, and his art is more amazing in the upcoming Rummy Labyrinth set for standard. For this profile, the point of the deck is to compress as much triggers in deck as possible due to that some units can select units to soul charge rather than random soul charging like triggers. This deck early game is to turbo compress as fast as possible. It relies on having 3 different units that share the same name to pop off Variants Hardleg to <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
have the opponent guard with 3 cards for each attack. The point is to build up soul from cards like Yellow Bolt, Emblem Master and Brufas. When the 13 card in soul threshold is met along with the 3 different units that share the same name for No Life King, Death Anchor, then Hardleg will trigger when placed. Then attack with the first wave of attacks then re-ride from NLK to another or if there are 15 cards in soul, ride into Master of Fifth Element to re-stand all units that haven't been soul charged from NLK's skill. Then attack with the second wave of attacks. The strength of Dark Irregulars is that they have a re-riding Vanguard that generates Protect markers, 2 grade 3 units that have early criticals for early to late game pressure and a unit that forces a lot of guard from hand for each attack. The weakness is that it can't stand to decks that rush early, and Accel clans that have multi-attacks like Aqua Force especially Narukami due to that Vanquisher can give the entire front row 10k if 3 cards were bound. It's sad to see Variants Hardleg go, but I hope in the new upcoming Dark Irregular set that it makes up for it. Now to the profile:<br />

4x: No Life King, Death Anchor (Its a re-riding Vanguard that can choose any grade 3 from soul to re-ride, it gains 2k for every card in soul when placed on Vanguard circle, it also gives the re-riden unit a critical which is good for pressure.)<br />
4x: Number of Terror (Good rear guard for draw power for a cost of soul charging a rear guard, it also gains 10k power and 10k shield if there are 10 cards in soul so it's great offensive and defensive.)<br />

Major Spades presenting a triple threat deck profile that are from Gold Paladin. These deck profiles for Golds that I will be presenting are: Agravain, Ezel and Garmore. I love Golds! Great Silver Wolf, Garmore is my avatar. They're my first clan I started out with when I was introduced to Vanguard. It was the Garmore limit break deck that I started with. With some learning, it evolved into my personal favorite competitive deck Garmore/Pellinore. I love Gold Paladin's mechanic of superior calling units from deck to rear guard circles to fill up a board. My personal favorite Gold Paladin user in the anime is Taiyou Asukawa in Vanguard G who his avatar is Gurguit. Now into the strengths of Gold Paladin. They fill up board quickly, they have a lot of muti-attacking and a lot of late game finishers. The weaknesses are that they don't favor too well with defensive triggers and units that board wipe hurts Gold Paladin a little unless players have the resources to get back their fallen comrades. First we will talk about Agravain's deck purpose, Agravain is meant to have multiple superior calls, attacks and deck compression for triggers. The late game finisher is that having the 12 cards in soul will make the opponent guard with only normal units. Now Ezel's purpose is to superior ride a lot to generate as much Accel circles as possible while having the opponent's Vanguard at a low grade, and units that fill up board early game gives huge guarding pressure on the opponent including Platina Ezel altering drive checks for triggers and calling additional attackers. Last is Garmore, Garmore's purpose is to fill up board as fast as possible before Garmore hits the board to call more units and give 6 units 3k. The deck mainly just calls out units and overwhelms the opponent with attacks with a good amount of power excluding triggers. My opinion on Accel 1 or 2 is that it is situational, but I favor Accel 2 because of that extra draw could help in some situations. Now lets get into the deck profiles:<br />
<br />

3x: Battlefield Storm, Sagramore (This unit draws one and superior calls one from hand.)<br />
<br />
Grade 2's:<br />
4x: Advance of the Black Chains, Kahedin (Superior calls a unit from top 3 of deck to board and if Hoel is on board, draw a card, so it makes up for the discard cost.)<br />
4x: Liberator of the Flute, Escrad (Superior calls the top card of deck to rear guard circle. It works well with Agravain getting as much calls as possible so Agravain can call more on his attack, and Escrad gives himself 5k when placed for hitting numbers at the opponent's Vanguard.)<br />
4x: Hard-working Knight, Arienohl (A 24k beat stick if 4 or more units were called the turn this unit is placed.)<br />
<br />

4x: Listener of Truth, Dindrane (A unit that draws or counter charge when superior called.)<br />

He can do it twice if there are two or more grade 3's in soul. Great for calling out more attackers from his skill.)<br />
4x: Raven-haired Ezel (Great pressuring unit that gains 15k and a critical if there is an Incandescent Lion, Blonde Ezel in soul. It also superior rides over Blonde Ezel to generate another Accel circle.)<br />
4x: Incandescent Lion, Blonde Ezel (A superior ride unit from hand that requires Beaumains, Gareth and Kryph. Great to be ahead of the opponent and it also superior calls a unit from hand while he attacks.)<br />

Major Spades here with another deck profile. I would like to apologize for the long hiatus I been having struggles dealing with my mental illnesses, but I been more occupied with more Vanguard tourneys which eats up a lot of my weekends. I been also studying and experimenting with different builds. Since this COVID-19 virus pandemic is giving us a scare and worry, I will try my best to publish more articles since I have more time. Thank you for your understanding as I will be the most active writer of the Trigger Capital team. Furthermore, I would like to introduce my Nightmare Doll deck from the Pale Moon clan. Pale Moon is a dark and magical circus bunch that specializes in assassination. Their imaginary gift is Accel which allows the player to gain an additional rear guard circle meaning an extra attack. Pale Moon is one of my favorite clans because it reminds of a time I went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus with my dad as a kid. I love Pale Moon of its utilization of the units in the soul as they superior call in and out of the soul as if it was a magic trick. It brings back memories of me enjoying the acrobatics and stunts as a little kid. Now to the pros and cons of the deck, the pros is that we have a lot of muti-attacking units that goes in and out from soul. With Nightmare Doll, Carroll when a grade 3 is put into the soul, Carroll can superior ride a workeroid from soul meaning another Vanguard attack, but the downside is that the superior rode unit gets drive minus 1 so be wise on what to superior ride into. Another pro is that it can unlock more Accel circles from superior riding (preferably I recommend Accel II gifts because of the extra draw from the gift). The cons are that it doesn't do to well against control match-ups like Narukami, Kagero, Nubatama, ect. (especially Narukami Vanquisher nowadays). It needs the pieces in hand and soul to pop off combos and superior rides from Carroll. Another con is that defensive triggers from opponents could kill the pressure of the muti-attacks. Finally, it needs Carroll as Vanguard so that she can utilize the Accel circles and superior riding otherwise it will be hard to catch up. Now lets get to the profile.<br />
<br />
Grade 3's:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NM76c9ecCm25M4UNhkGXxb7AqOzq6oD-sXSMBwdnGawHsjpVJrUo6TBq7Qx4N2m3-0zDBbGxRJV67SihH7eoKxpPn1QHLgvHi3eDfJulASOZMyUK4DYXTBscXOqQJFKv9ZJoPLgpyR4/s1600/V-BT06-023EN-RR.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="684" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NM76c9ecCm25M4UNhkGXxb7AqOzq6oD-sXSMBwdnGawHsjpVJrUo6TBq7Qx4N2m3-0zDBbGxRJV67SihH7eoKxpPn1QHLgvHi3eDfJulASOZMyUK4DYXTBscXOqQJFKv9ZJoPLgpyR4/s320/V-BT06-023EN-RR.png" width="218" /></a>4x: Nightmare Doll, Carroll (This unit is the main grade 3 to be as Vanguard. On ride, she puts a card in soul from the top 5 from deck. If its a grade 3 workeroid, that unit can be called to a rear guard circle. She can call out one of the combo pieces like Alice to pop off Carroll's superior ride skill. For a discard cost of 2 and counterblast 1, any workeroid could be superior rode, but it loses 1 drive. If another Carroll is put in soul but don't have another, don't call her out. Save her so she can be the superior ride target till all resources are out then superior ride Alice.)<br />
4x: Nightmare Doll, Alice (This unit is the main combo piece to have in soul, hand and field. After her attack, she counterblast 1 and a soul blast to go into soul and superior call any non grade 3 (Jumping Jill) from soul. She is the main piece to put into soul to trigger the superior ride skill of Carroll.)<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI0XzA8Q8DurxAoY53dDwttFawB8vSvOKihMJrB0edb5TPDhBI71zM2mOdqiIu4gvy4pMNaTVOdBLu568NVOgCHSEFuUIUqhg8pOlhAMaZufvN7-cnSxEDHWtnNfOElrfoJr-RSln6DuM/s1600/V-BT02-023EN-RR.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="680" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI0XzA8Q8DurxAoY53dDwttFawB8vSvOKihMJrB0edb5TPDhBI71zM2mOdqiIu4gvy4pMNaTVOdBLu568NVOgCHSEFuUIUqhg8pOlhAMaZufvN7-cnSxEDHWtnNfOElrfoJr-RSln6DuM/s320/V-BT02-023EN-RR.png" width="217" /></a>2x: Comicality Chimera (This unit can be another combo piece to put an Alice or any grade 3 in soul if out of counterblast. For a soul blast and put any unit into soul, a card in damage can be counter charged meaning a resource to trigger Carroll.)<br />
<br />
Grade 2's:<br />
4x: Jumping Jill (This unit helps with muti-attacking combos from soul. When she is placed from soul, a unit gets placed in soul from field in exchange for a new unit from soul ready to attack. She can be a unit that can put any grade 3 into soul to trigger Carroll's skill.)<br />

4x: Nitro Juggler (This unit helps build soul by look at the top 2 cards of the deck and putting one of them into soul and the other to the bottom of the deck. It is also a good way to dig for pieces.)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Lkv9kSgT8SbgsK-8uBKdhYcpPg6NxzPrDINCG_EbpYw5qwbRew9p-ZsAeVeI34lHrF36naduussoUn4Ct2VTbDjqi604od6kCGNBj7uByNh9VZz2efg_bPv2iAa9RWxa0tIJS5T5y00/s1600/V-BT02-078EN-C.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="680" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Lkv9kSgT8SbgsK-8uBKdhYcpPg6NxzPrDINCG_EbpYw5qwbRew9p-ZsAeVeI34lHrF36naduussoUn4Ct2VTbDjqi604od6kCGNBj7uByNh9VZz2efg_bPv2iAa9RWxa0tIJS5T5y00/s320/V-BT02-078EN-C.png" width="217" /></a>Grade 1's:<br />
4x: Midnight Bunny (This unit can soul charge pieces. On the downside, triggers might be soul charged, but unnecessary cards can be soul blasted for Chimera's and Alice's skill like triggers. Meaning useful cards for attacks and combos don't have to be soul blasted. Midnight Bunny is also a pressure card when she hits. For a counterblast, bunny can put herself into soul to call a non grade 1 unit from soul to rear guard. A good card to call out is Jumping Jill or Alice to keep popping off combos.)<br />
4x: Purple Trapezist (This unit enables another superior call from soul when it gets put into soul from rear guard, and it can be soul blasted for the cost of calling the unit. Good for making more muti-attacks and combos.)<br />
3x: Nightmare Doll, Beverley (This unit gives the placed wokeroid unit that is on the same column as Beverley 5k power whether its Vanguard or rear guard circle.)<br />
<br />
Grade 0's:<br />
4x: Hoop Magician (Front Trigger)<br />
2x: Skyhigh Walker (Front Trigger)<br />
2x: Dynamite Juggler (Critical)<br />
4x: Hades Hypnotist (Draw/Sentinel)<br />
4x: Candy Clown (Heal)<br />

Major Spades with a tournament report from Chara Expo USA. It was good but not great. Bushiroad could have done better. What topped it off was the Roselia concert, but I was sad that they never sang Heroic Advent and Legendary. Overall it was ok. My tournament experience was ok. I got top 60 out of around 600 people for Vanguard standard. I entered with OTT and my build has changed from the last deck profile I posted a while ago. Grade 3's are the same, but my grade 2's and 1's have changed. I run 4 Promise Daughter and 3 of each Yellow Witch Meme and Goddess of Insight Sotoorihime and 1 Battle Sister Torte. Grade 1's are 4 Circle Magus, 4 Farfelle Magus, 2 Luck Bird and 2 Gemini. Trigger line up is still the same 8 critical, 4 draw and 4 heal. Lets get to my tournament experience.<br />

Round 1 was against Kagero and I lost. I survived one Waterfall turn, and I got my opponent to one card in hand due to my turn deering my opponent. When it got to his turn, he rode another Dragonic Waterfall and had a Gias in hand and played it. He swung at me for 63k with critical with a sentinel prevention, and he put Gias in the soul. I swear that was his 4th Gias so now his vanguard has 3 critical, and I am at 2 damage. In my head, I am like I will be fine if I will be at 5 damage. I couldn't guard it so opponent's first drive check was a critical and second nothing. So GG I died due to RNG.<br />
<br />
Round 2 I won against another Kagero deck, but my opponent never rode Waterfall, so I had the opportunity to rush him with rear guards and pressuring him with Imperial Daughter rides until I got my deer turn and killed him from there.<br />
<br />
Round 3 I won against a good friend of mine who is using Royal Paladin. My opponent rode Exculpate the Blaster and wiped my entire field, but I had plenty of protect and perfect guards. After his Exculpate and Blaster Blade play was over, I rode into an Imperial Daughter over another, and I got to do my Victorious Deer play and killed my opponent after that.<br />
<br />
Round 4 I won against Megacolony. My opponent kept dropping my units -5k every time he has 2 counterblast. However, I had a steady ride chain of riding my Imperial Daughters. I kept pressuring him with my Imperial Daughter plays. When I looked at the top 2 cards of the deck due to Imperial Daughter's skill, I got a deer in hand and put a critical on the top of the deck, and I played the deer and got two criticals from it, and my opponent wasn't able to guard everything. I feel kind of bad beating my opponents to deer cause OTT just forge luck and I felt kind of dirty doing that.<br />
<br />
Round 5 I won against Murakumo. He G-assisted at grade 1 and took out a trigger and a Zanbaku. He kept the Mandala Lord in hand hoping to draw into the Zanbaku. I was able to keep taking out his rear guards and counterblast starving him until he was sitting on Mandala Lord for the whole game, so I went all out on his Vanguard and deered him and won the game. If he had Zanbaku I would have been screwed.<br />
<br />
Round 6 I lost to Granblue because even tough I kept riding into Imperial Daughter and keep getting protect gifts, my opponent keeps riding Baskirk. We were both riding and getting protect markers over and over but I lost all the hand and the protect gifts cause Baskirk gets really big and Skull Dragon is a thing. He beat me by ridiculous numbers on his Skull Dragon each turn plus even if I deered my opponent, he had hand for days.<br />
<br />
Round 7 I lost to a cocky OTT player. I heard from other people that he is a big rule shark, but he wasn't to me he was just really cocky which ticks me off. He interrupts me when I attack his vanguard by dropping his protect and perfect guards from my deer turn. The game went long, and I had 8 cards in deck and my opponent had 7. The game will go into my favor by deck out, but when I attacked his Vanguard, I drove check a draw which got me into the danger zone for decking out. The final result was that I decked out due to a draw trigger and my opponent sarcastically saying it was a close match even though he knew he won made me more ticked off. I hate cocky players.<br />
<br />
My last and final round I won against Kagero. My opponent didn't ride Waterfall. He rode into Novelle. Yeah he damages me and wipes my board instead of my Promise Daughters. I was protect gifting and perfect guarding his Vanguard till I got my deer turn and killed him with my Vanguard for over 50k with 4 damage coming.<br />
<br />
So overall I went 5-3. I was kind of sad I didn't top 8. I could have won 2 if it weren't for RNG I could have squeezed into top 8 or higher. Overall it was ok. Chara Expo was fun with friends and the Roselia concert topped everything off.Major Spadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855139711671660149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591341977278735322.post-91418658299670021682018-11-09T20:34:00.000-08:002018-11-09T20:34:48.921-08:00Spectacular Performance Hello Cardfighters! Major Spades coming with you with a new deck profile. Sorry for the small hiatus. I was doing some fine tuning and practicing with my Oracle Think Tank deck for Chara Expo USA in Anaheim, CA. Also, sorry for no tournament feeds on this blog due to that my locals became pretty small. I hope to see all you followers on this blog at Chara Expo USA and thank you for your support. For today's deck profile, its Pale Moon. Pale Moon to me is a fun deck with spectacular performances by utilizing the soul to make more attacks and plays. Its perfect that Pale Moon is an accel clan because more rear guard circles means more opportunities for more attacks. Now let the show begin!<br />
<br />
Grade 3's<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzpYANh-9978M7Ib1IWJYZuM1S1MNB85H49n4qY9FX5vjA7ess2OtUwgeDln7hGLJKqS5D0XkPThqdqWxJQn8P8s5KbCoiNEmBkLTr4IACaW5DobFPjBWaLoHwkg0w-kNosoM-fDScpA/s1600/Golden_Beast_Tamer_%2528Full_Art%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="811" data-original-width="540" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzpYANh-9978M7Ib1IWJYZuM1S1MNB85H49n4qY9FX5vjA7ess2OtUwgeDln7hGLJKqS5D0XkPThqdqWxJQn8P8s5KbCoiNEmBkLTr4IACaW5DobFPjBWaLoHwkg0w-kNosoM-fDScpA/s320/Golden_Beast_Tamer_%2528Full_Art%2529.png" width="213" /></a>4x: Golden Beast Tamer (This unit gives 3k to the front row if I have 5 or more rear guards. Plus, when this unit attacks counterblast 1 and put a card from hand to soul to call out two more rear guards. My ideal grade 3 ride. Great way to have more attacks in when I use the Alice and Jumping Jill combo.)<br />
3x: Nightmare Doll, Alice (This unit when placed on Vanguard gets to call a workeroid from the soul to rear guard and that unit gets 5k. Alice skill on rear guard is that after it attacked counterblast 1 soul blast 1 put Alice into the soul and call a non-grade 3 out from the soul to rear guard. She is a very good multi-attacker when I utilize Jumping Jill and Purple Trapezist along with Comicality Chimera and Amaranth Beast Tamer.)<br />
2x: Comicality Chimera (This unit's skill on rear guard gets to put a unit into the Vanguard's soul for a soul blast. If done, I can give this unit 5k and counter charge. This unit is great for keeping key pieces into soul, so I can do more combos.)<br />
<br />
Grade 2's<br />
4x: Jumping Jill (This unit when placed from soul to rear guard, I can put one of my rear guards into soul to call out a non-grade 2 unit from my soul. This is a great piece for the multiple attacks in one turn as I can soul charge a Purple Trapezist to call a booster out or Alice or soul blast the Trapezist to call Alice. There are many ways to utilize this skill.)<br />
4x: Nitro Juggler (This unit when placed from hand to Vanguard or rear guard circle, I can look at the top 2 cards from my deck, and I can put one in soul and one at the bottom of my deck. Great way to set up soul.)<br />
4x: Amaranth Beast Tamer (This unit on Vanguard or rear guard when it attacks a Vanguard, I can put a unit into soul and this unit gets 3k power until the end of that battle. Like the Chimera, Amaranth can keep my key pieces in soul safely, so I can do more attacks in the current or next turn.)<br />
<br />
Grade 1's<br />4x: Purple Trapezist (This unit gets to call an additional unit from soul when Purple Trapezist is put into soul by soul blasting a Purple Trapezist. Good unit to call out Alice for another attack.)<br />
4x: Starting Presenter (This unit when placed on Vanguard or rear guard, I get to soul charge 1. When rode on, I get to put a card from my hand to soul and soul charge a card from my deck. My ideal grade 1 and a great way to set up soul.)<br />
4x: Midnight Bunny (This unit when boosting, I can soul charge 1, and when this unit attack hits, I can put Bunny into soul and call a non-grade 1 from my soul to rear guard. Another great unit to call out Jill or Alice for more attacks.)<br />
<br />
Grade 0's<br />
4x: Dynamite Juggler (Critical) <br />
4x: Poison Juggler (Critical)<br />
4x: Hades Hypnotist (Draw/Sentinel)<br />
4x: Candy Clown (Heal)<br />
1x: Entertain Messenger (When rode upon draw a card)<br />

Its Major Spades with another standard deck profile. This time around it's my Granblue deck profile. Granblue to me has been very special to me because I have been a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. I love how Granblue is a protect clan cause the clan doesn't rely on hand that much and having that extra sentinel helps out a lot. Granblue as always has been well known for their milling and superior calling from the drop zone. The extra plus is that some of those units get power bonuses depending on the amount of units in the drop zone. I hope you enjoy the deck profile.<br />

Second skill is for one counterblast and soul blast, I can superior call a unit from the drop zone to rear guard, and Basskirk gains an additional 5k for each grade that unit is called. This card is great overall pressure wise. I can constantly hit my opponent for more than 30k with critical, and my opponent has to drop sentinels, trigger units or normal units to not take that extra damage late or early late game.)<br />
3x: Dragon Undead, Skull Dragon (This unit is a huge beat stick as a rear guard cause I mill a good amount of units in the drop, and Skull Dragon gets 2k for every card in my drop, so I can potentially have it hit for more than 50k. It's one of the good finishers in the deck.)<br />
2x: Violence Flanger (This unit as a rear guard guard restricts sentinels but also the grades of cards I discarded as an additional cost. Plus it gets 5k. For a soul blast of a grade 3, I can drop a grade 0, 1 and 2 and make Flanger unblockable for the battle. Its a good finisher when my opponent is at 4 (banking on the critical) or 5 damage.)<br />
<br />
Grade 2's:<br />
4x: Ruin Shade (Vanguard and rear guard skill is when it attacks Vanguard, mill 2 cards from the top of my deck, and Ruin Shade gains 4k. Its rear guard skill gains another 4k if I have 10 or more cards in the drop zone. It can potentially become a 17k beat stick as a rear guard.)<br />
4x: Captain Nightmist (As a rear guard, when placed, I can call a grade 1 or less card from my drop zone. If I have 10 or more in drop, I can call whatever unit from the drop. Good card for building up my board.)<br />
4x: Commodore Blueblood (Rear guard skill is if I have another Blueblood in drop, it gains 4k. Its other skill is that when it hits, I can retire this unit and draw 2 cards and discard a card. Good way to plus one and build up the drop zone.)<br />
<br />
Grade 1's:<br />
4x: Dandy Guy, Romario (Rear guard skill is that it gains 4k if I have 10 or more cards in drop zone. Second skill is that when rode upon, counterblast and put a card from hand to soul to mill 3 cards and return a card from drop zone to your hand.)<br />
4x: Dancing Cutlass (This unit can call itself from drop to rear guard by binding another cutlass from drop. Plus it counter charges when called this way. The deck is counterblast heavy, so that extra counter charge really helps.)<br />
2x: Evil Shade (Rear guard skill is once per turn that I can call a unit from drop by binding the card with the same name as the unit called by Evil Shade's skill for a counterblast. Good way of calling my Flanger or Skull Dragons from drop.)<br />
2x: Norman the Ghostie (This unit can retire itself and mill 2 cards from my deck to give another unit an additional 10k. Good for adding more power to my Bluebloods for more pressure or Flanger.)<br />
<br />
Grade 0's:<br />
4x: Knight Spirit (Critical Trigger)<br />
4x: Mortal Mimic (Critical Trigger)<br />
4x: Gust Djinn (Draw Trigger and Sentinel)<br />
4x: Rick the Ghostie (Heal Trigger)<br />
1x: Guiding Zombie (Starting grade 0 when rode upon you draw a card)Major Spadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855139711671660149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591341977278735322.post-11104711634163965152018-09-20T20:26:00.000-07:002018-09-20T20:26:00.107-07:00Tachikaze Roar!Hello Cardfighters! Major Spades here with another deck profile. From now on, I will try my best to post content ever week with probably one or two post that will include deck profiles and tournament reports with my standard decks. Mostly going to be my Oracle Think Tank deck since I need practice for Chara Expo, but I will try my best to post reports on my other decks. This time around its my standard deck for Tachikaze. I love Tachikaze when they first came out because I love dinosaurs, and they remind me of the anime series Zoids. I love the new mechanic for Tachikaze which is called equip gauge. What this mechanic does is that certain skills on cards for Tachikaze places the top card face down under a unit. You may also look at the face down card when placed under the specified unit. This mechanic is quite unique, and cards with skills that put gauge under a unit gains power for each gauge or lets me add those gauges to my hand. Another thing is that any remaining gauges under a rear guard that can't be added to hand end up going to the drop zone.<br />
Mainly the deck gains power and lets me build hand advantage. There is a lot of gauging, swapping and retiring, but I will do my best to clarify those mechanics further into the deck profile. This clan is also a clan that utilizes the accel gift which lets me get an additional rear guard circle for more attacks. In this deck, I play critical triggers in this deck. I don't play front triggers where it gives all my front row rear guards 10k. This deck is meant to kill my opponent as quick as possible with huge rear guards. The setback to Tachikaze is that our equip gauges could be triggers, and it sucks to lose triggers from deck. Its good guarding but sucks to lose one or more triggers from deck. Lets get into the deck profile:<br />

Grade 3's:<br />

Gigarex's last skill lets me discard 5 equip gauges from rear guards to deal a damage to my opponent if they are at 4 or less damage. Not only this card becomes big from his skill as a Vanguard, but the damage skill helps out whenever I am behind. I rarely use the skill if I have the opportunity to use it.)<br />
3x: Tyrant, Deathrex (Vanguard or rear guard this unit gains 10k for each equip gauge attached to one of my rear guards it retires for a soul blast. In addition, I get to retire one of my opponent's rear guards. Very good card on rear guard or accel circle. Best target to put a critical on.)<br />
1x: Savage King (Rear guard skill. This unit lets me move all my equip gauges from one rear guard to Savage King, and it gains 5k for each equip gauge under it. Very good beat stick and pressure card on both rear and accel circle and another target to put a critical on.)<br />
<br />
Grade 2's:<br />
4x: Ravenous Dragon, Megarex (When attacking on Vanguard or rear guard circle, this unit lets me retire one of my rear guards and lets me draw a card. If its on rear guard, I can put an equip gauge under it, and it gains 5k for each equip gauge under it for a counterblast. Another potential beat stick and a target for Deathrex once I stack a lot of equip gauges to it. It is also a combo piece for my Blightops and Laceraterex once when I discuss it further in the deck profile.)<br />
4x: Assault Dragon, Blightops (When its retired, this unit lets me add up to 2 equip gauges from it to my hand as a rear guard for one counterblast. Very good target for my Deathrex, Megarex or Sonic Noa.)<br />
4x: Savage Raider (When placed from hand to rear guard, it lets me put an equip gauge to an other rear guard. Second skill, when it attacks, I can move any number of equip gauges from a rear guard to another, so I can move a gauge or two to another rear guard with a lot of gauge, so they can be retire fodder for my Deathrex or gauge fodder for Savage King.)<br />
1x: Attempt Mammoth (Rear guard skill. This unit forces my opponent to guard with two cards from hand whenever they are guarding for Mammoth's attack. The set back to this card is that it needs a gauge to stay alive otherwise it dies if I have no equip gauge onto it. That's why Gigarex is suppose to be my main grade 3, and its very good on an accel circle.)<br />
<br />
Grade 1's:<br />
4x: Sonic Noa (Rear guard skill is when it is boosting a unit, put an equip gauge under the boosted rear guard. Its Vanguard and rear guard skill is that when it hits while attacking or boosting, retire one of my rear guards and draw a card. This card has a very good combo with Laceraterex and Blightops cause I can stack a gauge or two for them and retire one of them, and I can add up to one or two gauge to hand depending on the unit while I draw and extra card from Noa. Even if I have alot of gauge under Blightops or Laceraterex, I can look at them and choose which ones to add to my hand.)<br />
4x: Vicious Claw Dragon, Laceraterex (As a rear guard when placed, I get to equip a gauge under it. When retired, I get to add that gauge to my hand for a soul blast. Good target for Sonic Noa and Megarex to plus from their skill and add a gauge from it to hand.)<br />
2x: Winged Dragon, Skypero (As a rear guard, When it get retired, I can add it back to my hand for a counterblast.)<br />
2x: Winged Dragon, Beamptero (As a rear guard, when retired, I can give 3 of my units 3k.)<br />
<br />
Grade 0's:<br />
4x: Black Cannon Tiger (Critical Trigger)<br />
4x: Savage Aggressor (Critcal Trigger)<br />
4x: Archbird (Draw Trigger and Sentinel)<br />
4x: Savage Shaman (Heal Trigger)<br />
1x: Dragon Egg (Like most starting Vanguards, They let me draw an extra card when rode upon.)Major Spadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855139711671660149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591341977278735322.post-68095151461764689272018-09-13T22:55:00.000-07:002018-09-13T22:55:29.241-07:00Foresee the Future Oracle Think TankHello Cardfighters! Major Spades back from the hiatus from my depression and motivational problems. I been having problems coping with my depression and schizophrenia for a long time, and I am sorry if its too much information to you guys and my hiatus, but I will do my best to post as much content as possible. From the past, I have been posting some G era decks. I have stopped playing G era ever since the last support for Gears came out. Now I have been playing standard. So far I love standard. I love that now perfect guards are draw triggers, so I plus when I trigger them, and they are a perfect guard. It gives me a lot more options to fit other units in my deck rather than having them be grade 1 units. I love that now grade 3's have the ability to grant imaginary gifts. There are 3 types of imaginary gifts which are force, accel and protect. Whenever you ride a grade 3, you acquire these gifts. Force lets you choose any rear guard circle and give that circle 10k for the whole game during your turn. Accel gives you an additional rear guard circle for more attacks. Protect is literally adding an additional perfect guard to your hand, and my clan deck profile uses protect. Standard to me is more luck based err well my deck profile is more likely my clan forging my luck. So far until this day Oracle Think Tank has been my competitive deck for all local and big tournament events for Cardfight Vanguard standard. My build isn't traditional like other standard OTT decks. It's more pressure based. I do have other decks for standard which are Tachikaze and Granblue. Future decks I want to build for standard are Pale Moon, Dark Irregulars, Gold Paladin and Great Nature. Lets get into the deck profile.<br />
<br />
Grade 3's:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9wR2cGIPsgZ4Ua-3pP7qoitcubbVsRkxnO-kuSoDXNn6FUEj0x7iSF8h0aINCYj9ABbFI_N81dmllHbgQwUcS_gfxpo4Q9ZvSj7sDaVQRSTflYtZJDpHIdCzc0OSncJKbvEEEZAi7nc/s1600/Imperial_Daughter_%2528Full_Art-V%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="473" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9wR2cGIPsgZ4Ua-3pP7qoitcubbVsRkxnO-kuSoDXNn6FUEj0x7iSF8h0aINCYj9ABbFI_N81dmllHbgQwUcS_gfxpo4Q9ZvSj7sDaVQRSTflYtZJDpHIdCzc0OSncJKbvEEEZAi7nc/s320/Imperial_Daughter_%2528Full_Art-V%2529.png" width="252" /></a>4x: Imperial Daughter (This unit lets you look at the top 2 cards of your deck, and you have the choice to put one in hand and one in soul or stack it on top of the deck for one counterblast. Also, her skill when she rides on top of another grade 3, she gains 15k and a critical. Last, her final skill to soul blast to give a unit 6k really helps to give units additional power to get to magic numbers. She is the second grade 3 I ride after my ideal ride to CEO Amaterasu, and she comes in clutch stacking a trigger on top of the deck and adding a card to hand and that 15k and crit.)<br />
4x: CEO Amaterasu (This unit lets you draw a card and lets you check the top card of your deck, and you have the choice to put it on the top or bottom of the deck for one counterblast. She also gains 5k for every time you look at your deck on Vanguard or rear guard.)<br />
2x: Victorious Deer (This card is my win condition. Soul blast a grade 3 and discard a card from hand to look at the top 7 cards of the deck, and you reveal up to 2 critical triggers and stack them on top of the deck while you shuffle the rest at the bottom of the deck, and all your units gain 10k. This card won me soo many games. It develops soo much pressure, and it lets my opponent drop soo much cards from hand and perfect guards. I try my best to keep deer alive unless I have another in hand, so I can use the skill multiple times.)<br />
<br />
Grade 2's:<br />
4x: Promise Daughter (This unit gets an additional 6k when attacking the Vanguard. She also can't be retired by skills of other cards)<br />
4x: Silent Tom (This unit gets 6k when placed for a counterblast, and his continuous skill prevents my opponent from calling normal units to guardian circle. He is one of my pressure units where I can force perfect guards and triggers from their hand.)<br />
3x: Battle Sister, Torte (This unit is 8k, but she gains 10k and an additional critical if I have 10 or more cards in my hand. She is my other pressure unit, and she sometimes win me games along with Silent Tom. I build up hand soo fast. I know a lot of standard builds use Yellow Witch Meme and Sotoorihime. Yeah Meme lets me look at the top card of my deck, but I have soo many cards that do that like Amaterasu, Imperial Daughter and Farfalle Magus. She is a good card overall, but I like my way of pressuring my opponent to lose cards from hand from Tom and Torte. Sotoorihime is good too, but I don't want to pay a counterblast just to draw into a card that I don't know before hand like a trigger. She filters, but I don't want to drop a card from hand because I want to keep my triggers in hand for guarding, Imperial Daughters, and essential grade 2's like Tom, Torte and Promise Daughter. Even if I draw a trigger, I don't want to discard a trigger for it.)<br />
<br />
Grade 1's:<br />
4x: Circle Magus (This unit lets me draw a card when rode upon for a counterblast. My ideal grade 1 ride)<br />
4x: Farfalle Magus (This unit lets me look at the top card of my deck, and I have the choice to leave it on top or bottom of the deck when she is placed on rear guard.)<br />
1x: Luck Bird (This unit gets 6k and draws me a card for soul blasting 2 cards)<br />
1x: Goddess of Tide of Times, Mizunohame (This unit gets 6k while boosting the Vanguard if my damage is 3 or more. If I have her in my hand, I play her behind Vanguard, so my Imperial Daughters will hit for 26 without the 15k and critical or 41k with the 15k and critical.)<br />
1x: Oracle Guardian, Gemini (This unit counter charges if I have 3 or more cards in my damage zone. Before, I played 2, but I am trying out this card which is the next unit on this list.)<br />
1x: Goddess of Forbearance, Ohmiyanome (I might be contradicting myself with my view on Sotoorihime, and I apologize for it, but she is my one tech card I am trying out with the deck. This unit makes me draw 3 cards just for one counterblast and retire this unit, but she lets me discard 3 cards at the end of my turn. I tried her for a bit, and she helps me filter and gain the hand size for Torte. It also helps me rearrange my hand if I need more triggers for big attacks like Dragonic Waterfall where it gains 10k and a critical just for soul blasting a grade 3, and it prevents me from using perfect guards from hand. Ohmiyanome helps with situations where I need to guard with trigger units. I am trying her out just to see how well she does in my deck. If I don't like it, I will return Gemini to 2.)<br />
<br />
Grade 0's:<br />
4x: Psychic Bird (Critical Trigger)<br />
4x: Oracle Guardian, Nike (Critical Trigger)<br />
4x: Weather Forcaster, Miss Mist (Draw Trigger and Perfect Guard)<br />
4x: Sphere Magus (Heal Trigger)<br />
1x: Lozenge Magus (Like most of all starting grade 0 units they let you draw a card when you ride on top of this unit.)Major Spadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855139711671660149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591341977278735322.post-66590858382034066562017-08-01T10:09:00.001-07:002017-08-01T10:09:10.367-07:00Content Update 8/1/17It's tough to remember to share updates on multiple platforms, so here's a compiled list of content that was uploaded to our YouTube channel.<br />

Greetings, fellow Cardfighters! I am Shino, I have been a competitor of Vanguard since 2012 from the reign of Majesty Lord Blaster and Dragonic Overlord The End, to Spectral Duke Dragon and Revenger, Raging Form Dragon, to Revenger, Phantom Blaster "Abyss" to Dark Dragon, Phantom Blaster "Diablo". I have Top 16th in Team League for Vanguard's "Kick-off" event, Top 9th for Team League at Anaheim, CA in 2014, 4th place at ARG Kansas City for Fall 2015, Top 8 at ARG Kansas City for Winter 2015, 3rd/4th place for ARG Circuit Series at ARG Chicago Fall 2016, and contended ARG Nationals in December 2016.<br />

<br />
<br />
Not only have I played Vanguard, I have spent a surplus number of years in other card games as well, but have not been able to content any large tournaments, unofficial and/or official. So, this making Vanguard my option to take the game to another level beyond from<br />
the stereotypes we may see per day.<br />
<br />
<br />

I do respect the "main clan" idea, but I don't limit myself to that idea. I also play <span style="color: #351c75;">Gear Chronicle "Chronojet"</span>, <span style="color: #660000;">Link Joker "Star-Vader, Chaos"</span>, <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Neo Nectar "Ahsha/Marjukka"</span>, <span style="color: #351c75;">Dark Irregular "Bladewing/Darkness"</span>, and <span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Royal Paladin "Thing Blaster"</span>.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have full intentions of making threads in terms of possible rising builds in both English and Japan "metas", what to consider mid-game, things that could be possible, and creating discussions based on current thoughts and evaluate through multiple possibilities. I am Shino, and I do hope to see you all again soon in the battlefield...<br />

Darkness: Blade Wings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Cardfighters! Major Spades here with another deck profile to present to you. This time it is Blade Wings. I love how the deck soul charges and recycles deck from Tibold's skill. It compresses the deck late game for triggers, and Sullivan skill raises my defenses to get to that late game. The funny part is that I tend to win by my opponent decking out if he/she isn't playing legion decks. Now lets get into the deck profile.</div>

Hello Cardfighters! Major Spades with another deck profile to present to you. This time it is Murakumo, and its unique ability shadowstich. Shadowstich is an ability that activates when your unit's attack didn't hit the opponent's Vanguard and certain effects kick off like extra power to other units or multiple attacks.

Dimensional Robo Justice</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Cardfighters. Major Spades here with another deck profile for Dimension Police. This time it is Dimensional Robos. The main mechanic for the deck is that it shield breaks my opponent's guardians when a grade 3 Dimension Police unit has been drove checked. I love this deck, and I love how scared my opponents get when they guard and rethink how they will guard. Enough about that, lets head into the deck profile.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

4x: 99th-gen Dimensional Robo Commander, Great Daiearth (This unit makes me superior call a grade 2 and 3 Dimensional Robo onto the field, and he gains a critical when I have 2 or more Daiearths face up in my G-zone.)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
1x: Super Cosmic Hero, X-gallop (This unit gets quadruple drive if his power is 35k or more. Triggers don't work on this guy so I use the effects of Daibattles, Daijet or Yuka to power him up and it counts the booster behind him too.)</div>

Nubatama Afterimage</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Cardfighters its Major Spades with a deck profile for you. Sorry for the long delay as I was taking a break from a lot of stress over time, but I will try my best to post deck profiles. Today's is Nubatama afterimage which the deck relies on controlling your opponent's hand. Afterimage is a special ability that activates when my opponent puts a bound card to his or her hand, and units with the afterimage ability returns to your hand if I have 6 or less cards in hand. Its really fun to play. I love this deck as it is one of my favorite Dragon Empire clans. Lets head into the deck profile.</div>

Casual Deck of the Week: Seal Dragons Unleashed Version 2.0<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Cardfighters its Major Spades with another casual deck profile. Sorry for the long wait but I was away on vacation for a few days in South Carolina to visit a very important person. From this article, I am going to post only one article per week, so I can have some time building more decks to present to you Cardfighters. This deck profile for the week is Seal Dragons. I know I made an old article about them but this is a much improved version from the support from the new G sets and Fighters Collection. This deck is very powerful in destroying your opponents grade 1's or lower units and filling up their field with nothing but grade 2's. The more grade 2's my opponent has on the field, the stronger my units gets. Another win alternative, I can deck my opponent out if they are not playing legion. I hope you enjoy this newer deck profile of my newly improved Seal Dragon deck.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Cardfighters this is Major Spades with another competitive deck profile of the week. This week is Granblue. This deck is very good in calling units from the drop zone and getting extra abilities or power ups from their hollow abilities. This deck is very fun to use, and it can be very powerful during late to mid game calling units every turn. I hope you enjoy this deck profile.<br />
<br />
Granblue Hollow:<br />
Grade 3's:<br />

4x: Vampire Princess of Night Fog, Nightrose (She has a break stride skill that lets me call a unit from the drop zone. Her generation 2 break skill makes me call another unit from the drop zone whenever one of my units is sent to the drop zone for just milling 3 cards from the top of my deck for the cost.)<br />
1x: Ghoul Dragon, Gast Dragon (This unit's hollow ability gives him 5k. If I mill 2 cards from my deck, I can give it an additional 3k power.)<br />

Daily Tournament Blog: Great Nature Successfully Takes First at Zero Gravity Trading Card Games and Collectibles</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Cardfighters it's Major Spades with another daily tournament blog. My Great Nature was able to get first place in a 3 round 6 man tourney. The participating decks in this local tourney were: Link Joker Messiah, Great Nature Chatnoir/Tester Fox (me), Great Nature Bigbelly, Dimensional Police Daikaiser/Metalborgs, Pale Moon Harri, and Murakumo Yasuie. All my rounds were very fun and also challenging. Even though it was a 6 man tourney, I was still fighting against some of the shop's best Cardfighters, and Vanguard is solely a game of luck. Now lets get into my tournament experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Round 1: Great Nature Chatnoir/Tester Fox vs Murakumo Yasuie</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was able to 2-0 my opponent due to the fact that in both games his main Vanguard was Magatsu Typhoon and not Yasuie, so his ability to call and shadow clone units was very hard for him. I was able to keep a large hand of 15 cards and constantly attack him down till I got his hand size low enough for Managarmr to win both games.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Round 2: Great Nature Chatnoir/Tester Fox vs Dimensional Robo Daikaiser/Metalborgs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Game 1 my opponent got grade locked at 2 for two turns, so I was able to Sebreeze and did a full out rear guard and Vanguard attack on my opponent that game giving me game 1. Game 2 my opponent won due to that he broke ride Metalborg Sin Buster onto Daikaiser. I had enough zeros in my hand to make it 1 to pass to a 47k Sin Buster; however, he was able to drive check a grade 3 to destroy one of my 10k shields and finish me off on game 2, so it all lead to game 3. Game 3 became an awesome game at that point. I had a maximum hand size of 19 cards, and I maintained that hand size, but my opponent broke ride again like game 2, and I didn't had enough to guard a Vanguard that is over 60k due to that I had more grade 1 and 2's in hand than 0's. The most terrifying part of the turn is that my opponent had a Laurel on field, so he would be able to restand his Vanguard since Sin Buster will hit. I was at 2 damage then the first attack hit getting me to 4 damage. He restood his Vangaurd, and I had no choice but to take the hit. At the moment I got to 5 damage, I had to pray for a heal, and my prayers were answered as my 6th damage was a heal trigger, and I was back in the game. I survived a very brutal game winning turn, and I was able to survive the last remaining turns with my hand size to the point that I Managarmr my opponent for the game 3 and match claiming victory.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Round 3: Great Nature Chatnoir/Tester Fox vs Link Joker Messiah</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The final round begins, and me and my opponent in game 1 were constantly attacking each turn; however, my mistake was that I left 2 rear guards available for lock cause I did a grade 2 rush on my opponent that cost me the game and preventing me from gaining hand advantage. I learned from game 1 as my opponent won from constant lock and beat down of all units. Game 2 I prevented calling out as many units to prevent my opponent from locking my rear guards, and I was able to keep rear guard spots open for me to give power to my units and retire them as I draw to replace the cards into my hand. Even though my opponent had my entire back row locked, I was still able to call rear guards in the front row and pressure him from my Great Nature's ability to transfer power to units hitting magic numbers for my opponent to drop 10k shields from hand. I was able to drop him down to 4 damage with 2 cards in hand, and I Managarmr him for the win with a rear guard with 26k power and a critical from my drive checks. Last game went to turns, and I was able to get my opponent to 4 damage while I was at 3. On my opponent's last turn, his twin drive was able to get him a heal and the entire match ended in a draw. If he had a stride fodder in hand, he could have won the game, but he didn't as the card after that heal trigger was another heal trigger. I got lucky there, but I was satisfied that me and my opponent tied for first place and second was Dimensional Police Kaizer/Metalborgs. It was a very fun and thrilling tournament, and I hope and wish we can get more people into the tournaments I go to and expand the Cardfight community. For now, I wish this article was enjoyable, and Cardfighters take care of yourselves. </div>
