[Cardfight!! Vanguard] Platinum Ezel is not OP, Gold Paladin is

Recently, I've read about how people claim PE (Platinum Ezel) is OP. In my opinion, PE is not OP. Why he isn't?

First, he needs 5 damages before he is able to use his LB. Capping him at 4 damages will render him useless, except for the extra 2k if he does have BE (Blond Ezel) in his Soul.

Second, his LB ability is the almost the same thing as SSD, Zeal or Sephirot. It gives only power and that can be repel in many ways. Nulls, tons of hand cards, eliminating Rearguards, etc. Heck, Sephirot is even much scarier than this since it is able to deal high power damage every turn by just LB'ing without the need to pay any other cost. Besides, PE's LB ability is somewhat to deal "Final Turn", that's all.

Third, 13k isn't a new thing anymore, unless you're playing English version. We've come a long way since BT05, we've already adapt to looking at crossride units such as The End and PBO. We will eventually adapt to the current situation.

That being said, the main reason why PE is viewed as OP is because the whole clan itself, GP is very strong.

As I've said in my previous post, PE is good in the sense that no matter which G3 you ride, you can ride and still get away with it, because BE or PE itself is strong enough to fight as it is. This is unlike previous crossride decks that heavily emphasize on both G3 units in the deck: pre-crossride unit and crossride unit to really threaten your opponent.

Furthermore, with GP as the current meta, you can be damn sure BSR will be releasing more cards to support GP, as if it needs more card. It's not even helping when GP is already a very versatile clan with tons of playing style and units to toy with.


For now, this is what I can imagine for a Ezel-based GP deck:

Grade 0
Kyrph *1 (staring VG)
Flame of Victory *4 (critical)
Silent Punisher *4 (critical)
Falcon Knight of the Azure *4 (draw)
Elixir Sommelier *4 (heal)

Grade 1
Gareth *4
Mark *4
DoP/Haugan *3 (either force LB unit or extra power)
Raging Storm/DoP *2 (either Soul Charger or force LB unit)
Tron *2

Grade 2
Beaumains *4
Bagdemagus *4
Tripp/MoP *3 (either unflipper or force LB unit)

Grade 3
BE *4
PE *3

PE itself is not OP, it's a great unit, but GP as a whole is a huge screw trying to fit into your butthole.



/sidenote: I'm not endorsing, nor encouraging more crossride units, they break the game in a way or another. But, what can we do? BSR are the ones who release the cards. Unless all the players boycott the game together, or it'll be the "if you don't like it, don't play it" situation all over again.

[Cardfight!! Vanguard] A look on the upcoming BT09 -part 2-

Ohaiguise! I herd you liek crossrides!

The cards above probably will be crossride units. I've anticipated BSR will be pulling off something like this since BT09 will be releasing in within a month after EB04 and EB05.

What are you guys waiting for? Go spam EB05 just like how BSR want YOU to!

[Cardfight!! Vanguard] A look on the upcoming BT09 -part 1-

Hi guys! I'll be talking about the upcoming units from BT09. I think we have been eagerly waiting/dreading about this day. Bushiroad has recently released the full ability for two cards that will fuck up your minds. Introducing:

光輝の獅子　プラチナエイゼルLion of Radiance Platinum Ezel

Ability:
起【Ｖ】 : LIMIT BREAK 5(This ability activates when you have five or more damage): [Counter Blast *3] select 5 of your 《Gold Paladin》 Rearguard, during this turn, they gain power +5000.
永【Ｖ】 : If you have "Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel" in your Soul, this unit gains 2000 power.
永【Ｖ／Ｒ】 : 盟主(if you have a unit of a different clan from this unit, this unit may not attack)

超獣神　イルミナル・ドラゴンBeast Deity Illuminal Dragon

Ability:
自【Ｖ】 : LIMIT BREAK 4(This ability activates when you have four or more damage): [Counter Blast *3] When this unit attacks the opponent's Vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose up to two of your Rearguards and stand them.
永【Ｖ】 : If you have "Beast Deity, Azure Dragon" in your Soul, this unit gains 2000 power.
永【Ｖ／Ｒ】 : 盟主(if you have a unit of a different clan from this unit, this unit may not attack)

Ignoring the third ability for both units, since the scan is too small to be readable confirmed, motherfuckers. These two units are not only good, they are really that fucking good. Previous crossride decks heavily emphasize on both G3 units in the deck: pre-crossride unit and crossride unit to really threaten your opponent. With the release of these both cards, you can ride any G3 and still get away with it, because your pre-crossride unit is strong enough to fight as it is. PE(Platinum Ezel) and ID(Illuminal Dragon) is definitely stronger than their predecessors crossride units.

That being said, there are still weaknesses in both units. But, we'll look at the units again once the whole abilities are being released and confirmed as official.

For now, we can just wait and pray. Most probably more crossrides coming up.



/update: crossrides everywhere... DKV, CEO and many crossrides coming up...
/update2: here are bigger screenshots of Platinum Ezel and Illuminal Dragon.

[Cardfight!! Vanguard] Which Neo Nectar deck should I finish first?

As mentioned on the title, I need you guys to help me decide which NN deck should I finish first - Arboros Dragon deck or Cecilia deck? I like both builds very much, and I can't decide to finish which deck first. I have a limited budget which allows me to finish one of the deck first, another later in few months time. So, I really need your help in making up my mind.



DO EET guys, help a miserable dummy make up his mind.

/update: don't know why the poll resets after 80+ votes, but never mind. Completed Arboros Dragon deck.
