Some happy news for me...

It's always a happy occasion when a deck I build on paper/online proves itself worthy in real card form.  At a certain point, theory becomes practice and all works out for the best.  And my Royal Paladin deck is about to reach that point.

Unit of the Week - 1/27/2013

And this week's card will be:  Brutal Genocide Jack!
Oh wow, first unit of the week to not be a grade 3!

And that wonderful alliteration is now ruined.

Angel Feather - Ergodiel/Kiriel (test deck)

I decided one day that I wanted to make an Angel Feather deck.  Before I knew it, I was done (about 1.5 days later; fastest built deck ever).

Death Anchor + Halo Shield, Mark + G3 Tsukuyomi + Agravain = 2x Kiriel, 3x Ergodiel, 1x Requiel, 1x cupid Nociel, 1x machine gun Nociel, 2x Armaros, and a bunch of free commons/rares.

3 card shops, a few different people, and a whole lot of motivation.

Works alright for now.  Might get another Armaros.

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!

Unit of the Week - 1/20/2013

Alright, going down the list of clans, I guess this week I'll do an Oracle Think Tank unit.

Everyone's favorite (subjective) OTT vanguard, CEO Amaterasu!
(Actually, I pulled one today out of a Set 1 booster draft!)



Check top card, leave it on top.  Opponent: "Damn, it's a trigger."

Oracle Think Tank - Tsukuyomi's Stack

Wrote this up on a whim, so yeah, SURPRISE ARTICLE!  Not that it's half assed or anything.

I played this deck a few times before (in real life with real cards, with proxies, and online) and it really is a lot of fun.  It's also a good memory exercise.  Gotta remember that stack! 

This will be my personal take on the deck and will be highly focused on deck depletion.

Update: January 13, 2013

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!

Unit of the Week - 1/13/2013

This week's card will be a personal favorite: Amber Dragon, Eclipse!

So dark and edgy!
