Hello again
Cardfighters. As I announced on my Dark
Irregulars page, I am now going to share a double feature profile with two deck
builds from the Tachikaze clan before I go to FanimeCon. One is
the Raptor Colonel chain ride, and the other is the new Ancient Dragons. Tachikaze is well known for their mechanic of
sacrificing their own rear guards to get power boost and additional skills. It does make sense that dinosaurs need to
feed to live and get stronger. Overall I
love the deck mechanic, and I freaking loved dinosaurs as a kid. My favorite dinosaur is always the
Stegosaurus. I love how it has plates on
its body and a sharp spiked tail as a defense.
Also, I loved how Stegosaurus was featured in the movie “Jurassic Park:
The Lost World.” I was a big fan of all
the Jurassic Park movies and looking forward to Jurassic World in the future. Also, Tachikaze also made me remember a show
I used to love that was shown on Cartoon Network and Toonami was “Zoids.” Zoids is a show about giant robotic dinosaurs
and beast fighting while being piloted by humans. Tachikaze reminded me soo much about that
show ever since the Raptor series for Vanguard came out. Now, Ancient Dragons represent full-fledged
dinosaurs. Ancient Dragons is its own
deck archetype that unleashes the full potential of the Tachikaze clan. Well that’s enough about my personal liking
of Tachikaze, here is my two builds that I enjoy a lot.
Raptor
Colonel Chain Ride:
1x Military Dragon,
Raptor Soldier (starting Vanguard for the chain ride)
4x Ironclad Dragon,
Steelsaurus (Heal)
4x Dragon Bird,
Firepteryx (Critical)
4x Black Cannon Tiger (Critical)
4x Carry Trilobite
(Draw)
Grade 1’s:
4x Military Dragon,
Raptor Sergeant (grade 1 for the raptor ride chain that lets me search the top
7 cards of my deck for a Raptor Captain or Raptor Colonel and add it to my hand
if I rode over the grade 0 raptor)
4x Archbird (perfect
guard)
3x Sonic Noa (8k
booster)
3x Winged Dragon,
Beamptero (a unit that gives another Tachikaze unit 3k when this unit is
retired during battle)
Grade 2’s:
4x Military Dragon,
Raptor Captain (grade 2 for the raptor ride chain and its additional skill
superior calls a Raptor Sergeant onto a rear guard circle if I have the grade 0
and grade 1 raptor in my soul, and it gains 1000k for the whole game if Raptor
Sergeant is in the soul)
4x Ravenous Dragon,
Megarex (10k attacker)
4x Winged Dragon,
Slashptero (a unit like Beamptero that gives a unit 3k when this unit is
retired during battle)
Grade 3’s:
4x Military Dragon,
Raptor Colonel (grade 3 of the raptor ride chain and its gets 1000k for the
whole match when you have Raptor Captain in the soul, and its ride skill is
that if you have all the raptors in the soul and Raptor Colonel rode on the
Raptor Captain then you can search from your deck a Raptor Captain and superior
call it to a rear guard circle. Its
limit break is to counter blast 1 and retire 2 Tachikaze rear guards. While Colonel is attacking, it gains the
total attack of the Tachikaze rear guards that were retired by the skill)
3x Destruction Dragon,
Dark Rex (this unit’s limit break is to bind this card and give a Tachikaze unit
3k. When your Vanguard didn’t hit, you
retire 3 Tachikaze rear guards and superior ride this card from the bind zone
for an additional attack)
