Introduction: New Blogger Joining Trigger Capital

Hello, I am Richard.  It is very nice to meet all of you.  I want to thank team Trigger Capital for accepting me as part of their team.  I will try my best to help out with their page by creating my own blogs based on my passion of Cardfight Vanguard.  Wish me luck!  This is my first time blogging, and I am really excited but somewhat nervous because of my shyness hehehe.  However, I will do my best to post my experiences and opinions on the card game and the anime.  Also, my deck profiles of some of my favorite clans.  Without further ado, let us begin.

Choosing the Right Starting Vanguard

So you've picked a clan and maybe a build too.  Now, let's make a deck! 

One of the first units you'll pick out will probably be your starting vanguard.  There isn't more than a few to pick from right?  Should be easy enough......apparently not.  I guess I'll make a guide for it.

This article will also clarify and explain some pros and cons of certain starters.

Quick Tips for Playing Competitively

You finally got a deck together, played a few games, entered a few tournaments, but you feel something is not quite right. You seem to be losing quite an awful lot than you would like to. Yes, we should be playing games like Cardfight!! Vanguard for fun, but let's admit it: losing constantly gets boring and irritating after a while. Well, allow me to give you a few quick pointers on some things you can do to redeem yourself from that losing streak.

Losing sucks, doesn't it? Well, stop moping and read on
to find out how to better your gameplay!

Tournament Etiquette

You bought some cards, made a deck, bought more cards, made some changes to it a few times or so, and played enough with your friends to the point where you think you are ready for something larger. Well, as eager as you may be to enter your first sanctioned tournament or a local tournament for the 25th time, there are some things to keep in mind. Having participated in several Cardfight!! Vanguard tournaments myself including the World Championship Qualifier in Los Angeles, I can assure you that playing competitively is vastly different from playing with friends. Here are some guidelines on how to conduct yourself in a competitive setting while still enjoying the game.

Please do not upset the store clerks just because you do not know how to properly act in a competitive setting.  Continue reading this article for some quick and easy tips so you can make the game fun and enjoyable for everyone!
