“Prehistoric Beast Claim this Habitat as your own Tachikaze Roar!”



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:

Grade 0’s:
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)

“Rise from the Abyss and Set Sail Granblue”



Hello Cardfighters.  I am back with a few more deck profiles in line.  So far I have been play testing for quite a while to fine tune my decks.  Now, I have improved some of my decks to my liking.  First off, I want to say that Granblue is one of my favorite clans.  Why?  I like them because it has pirates, vampires, zombies and a lot of characters from the abyss of the ocean.  It is also a Pirates of the Caribbean deck to me since I am a big fan of it.  Overall, I love the deck mechanic of Granblue of calling units from the drop zone.  Since the new break ride and support for them came out from Booster Set 12: Catastrophic Outbreak, it gives them that extra field presence and power boost.  Even one of my friends is playing my deck every time we get the chance, and he loves how fun Granblue is even though it’s his favorite clan.  The version I am running is Lord of the Seven Seas, Nightmist and Ice Prison Necromancer, Cocytus.  I was never a fan of Cocytus reverse form because of that additional milling.  The effect is nice, but I mill too much then I deck out.  That’s why I have the Ruin Shades to help with that for this deck.  So, here is my Granblue deck profile, and I hope u enjoy it.

“Blossom and Show the World of Your Everlasting Beauty, Bloom Neo Nectar Arboros Dragon Sephirot and Maiden of Venus Trap Reverse!”



Hello Cardfighters!  I am back with a double feature deck profile coming at you with my current Neo Nectar Arboros Dragon build, and the other deck is my future Maiden build.  I know St. Patrick’s Day passed, and I wanted to present these articles on that day.  However, I was tied up with cosplay gatherings and deck experimenting, so I apologize for not keeping a constant flow of articles.  I want to wish you all a late St. Patrick’s Day greeting and an April Fool’s too.  I will try my best to get more articles posted.  I have been working on an additional ten articles that will be posted shortly.  Without further ado, I will present my Arboros Dragon and Maiden decks.  Neo Nectar has been one of my favorite clans along with the other twelve clans I run, but my reason why I chose Neo Nectar as one of my decks is that I have been a person who loves the beauty of nature.  I have been to hikes and nature walks, and I love the calm and soothing atmosphere especially the sound of the ocean and rain forests.  Also, a song by Hatsune Miku called “Blue Green” kind of remind me of the sound of nature and the destructive force of it when I heard it.  That is how beautiful, yet destructive Neo Nectar can be.  Here is my Sephirot and Maiden builds.

“Foresee the Future, Magical Magus Shine!”



Hello Everyone!  I want to say Happy Valentine’s Day or Single Appreciation Day to the Trigger Capital team and to all Cardfighters.  I have another deck profile I been testing out (proxy deck), and I am very excited to build it when it comes out in extra booster set 7: “Mystical Magus” in April this year.  Since I like wizards and magic (Harry Potter fan, Ragnarok Online fan (wizard class) and any anime that has magic and wizards), Magus of the Oracle Think Tank clan felt like a perfect fit for my interest.  This deck amazes me on how it gives me good draw and hand power and arrange the cards on the top of your deck in any order.  The deck pretty much alters outcomes for the whole game just by some of the Magus’s skills of looking at the top card(s) on your deck and stacking triggers on top.  To fit this lovable holiday, I present to you my Magus build.

Vanquish the Evil and Shine with Righteous Justice, “Super Dimension Robo, Daikaiser!”


Hello Everyone, I apologize if I haven’t been posting in a while, but I was busy with cosplay gatherings and future gathering preparations.  However, I have a new deck profile that I enjoy soo much, which is my Dimensional Robo, Daikaiser build, or my Dimensional Robos Unite.  To begin with, Dimensional Robo is one of my personal favorite clans.  The reason why I like Dimensional Robos is that they kind of remind me of my favorite TV shows the Power Rangers and Transformers when I was a kid.  I love how they all transform and unite into one strong warrior to fight all evil that threatens the universe.  However, some of the new Dimensional Robo cards from the new upcoming trial deck number 12: “Dimensional Brave Kaiser,” and set 13: “Catastrophic Outbreak,” they do appear more like Transformers than Power Rangers and also a tiny bit of Gurren Lagann reference too, but I still like them.  These brave warriors are the galactic protectors of the planet Cray.  Let’s begin the deck profile. 

“It’s Showtime!” Pale Moon: Nightmare Doll Chelsea Takes the Stage


Hello Cardfighters!  I am back with another fun deck profile on the new upcoming Pale Moon support from booster set 12 "Binding Force of the Black Rings."   Pale Moon is one of my favorite clans next to my Gold Paladins and my other 10 different clans I play.  Pale Moon has been a personal favorite because all the units kind of make me reminisce my past as a child when I went to see my first circus performance with my father at a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey in Anaheim, California.  The show was fantastic, and I loved it.  I always love the elephants and the fun festivities the circus presents, and Pale Moon’s clan mechanic is just fun and makes me relive the experience at the circus with their mechanic of coming out of the soul and back in like a disappearance act.  In booster set 12, I am making Chelsea, and I am also making my silver thorn deck too.  My favorite Pale Moon cards are the Nightmare Dolls and Midnight Bunny because they are soo cute.  Silver Thorns I like because the artwork on them are soo cool, and their mechanic is fun too.  So, roll up the curtains and let the show begin.  I present to you Cray's darkest and greatest performers of the Pale Moon clan.  This is my Pale Moon Nightmare Doll Chelsea deck profile along with Miracle Pop Ava (break ride).

Bermuda Triangle: PR♥ISM’s Melody to Victory

Hello everybody, I am back with another passionate article.  First of all, I want to wish all of you happy holidays, and I hope your holiday festivities are full of fun and excitement.  Since it’s the holidays, Bermuda Triangles have that nice velvet voice and energy that will get the crowd cheering and singing along, and I feel it is time for them to get the spotlight on this article.  Why I love Bermuda Triangle?  Cause they are soo cute.  Plus I always love the beautiful ocean and the wonderful creatures that inhabit it.  So here are the dazzling divas themselves, the Bermuda Triangles and the PR♥ISM gang will be the deck profile I will be talking about when I took this deck into the Cardfight Vanguard World Championship 2013 regional in Pasadena, California.

Oracle Think Tank - Goddess of the Sun Amaterasu Deck Profile

Hello all, it's been a while since my introduction post and I don't really have much to say for myself since, while half of it was due to the holidays and other obligations taking up time, the other half was just me plain procrastinating.

Moving on, I was originally going to be starting a mini-series with this post, but that will be put on hold until I can take the time to plan it out more. In the meantime however, I shall present to you all a deck I recently completed a few weeks ago and have been having a lot of fun with. Also, this deck was inspired by a similar decklist by a good member of the Cardfight Vanguard wiki, Xeamnz, so do go check out his rendition of the deck too if you're interested. With that said, onto the decklist!

“Liberators Unite!” The Wolf Fang Liberator General Calls You to Battle



 Hello again.  I want to wish all of you and the Trigger Capital members a Happy New Year.  As the New Year begins, I want to kick off with a few deck profiles in these future articles.  As you read the title, yes I will be doing a deck profile on a Gold Paladin Liberator build, but it’s a deck that involves my avatar (yay he is a Liberator) Wolf Fang Liberator Garmore fighting along with his majesty Liberator of the Round Table, Alfred.  Since its 2014, it also means that the dawn of the Link Joker will rise upon us, so I will vanquish Link Joker and shatter the dark rings with the power of Garmore and the Liberators.  I have been play testing the deck a lot online and friendly cardfights with a proxy deck of my Garmore Liberator build, and it seems to work on my end of play testing against other clans.  However, Link Joker in my opinion will be the hardest challenge for me.  I am really looking forward to running the deck when booster set 12 comes out in English format.
