[Cardfight!! Vanguard] Rumors about Eternal Idol Pacifica?
Sorry for not writing in such a long time, kinda busy at work lately, so there wasn't much time for me to update.
Anyway, recently I've heard tons of rumors about Eternal Idol Pacifica's abilty and do note, cards from BT10 are not even fully released yet. Just for rumors sake, cue the following image:
Lemme translate the text for you if you don't know how to read Japanese.
I'm kinda skeptical about the image above due to the fact that BSR always arrange the main ability for every card on the first line, instead of having them on the third and last line respectively. Besides, till now, all crossride units have only 3 abilities, I kinda doubt Eternal Pacifica will have 4 abilities. Furthermore, we can't really confirm that Eternal Pacifica is a crossride unit; remember Cosmos Lord?
However, there are reasons to believe this image and Eternal Pacifica's abilities is a mock up for the final product. BSR used Bermuda △ for new sets of playing style back then during EB02; I won't be surprise if they really want make Eternal Pacifica the first crossride unit to have 4 abilities. Additionally, the ability is consistent with the clan's special ability, "bouncing", which is to return units from the stage back to your hand by your unit's ability.
Let's just say it's true, and we'll going to have this as the confirmed Eternal Pacifica, is it a good card?
In my opinion, this will be another power build again, pumping everything to the Vanguard, which forces your opponent to throw in nulls. The Counter Blast is kinda wasting to bounce your Rearguards back to hand, but they can be used with the current cards we already have - remember Rio? While pumping power to Pacifica, you can spam Rio's ability to increase your hand size. Of course, you could opt for the "HOLY SHIT COUNTER BLAST FOR PACIFICA ONLY FOR MOAR POWAH!!!". You could also save the Counter Blast for Top Pacifica's Mega Blast, since he Mega Blast can be activated from being on the Rearguard circle.
Let's not forget, being a 13k Vanguard is pretty good, either defensive or offensive wise.
In conclusion, Eternal Idol Pacifica is a decent card. She's not broken, nor underpower; perhaps an above average crossride unit among all crossride units, that's all.
OH LOLZ U GUISE, BSR JUST RELEASED TUH REAL MOCK UP DESU!

Lemme translate the text for you if you don't know how to read Japanese.
永【Ｖ】 : If you have a card named "Top Idol Pacifica" 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)
自【Ｖ】 : When a 《Bermuda △》 unit is placed on 【Ｒ】, this unit gains 2000 power till the end of your turn.
起【Ｖ】 : LIMIT BREAK 4(This ability activates when you have four or more damage): [Counter Blast *2] Return all of your 《Bermuda △》 Rearguards to your hand. If there are 5 Rearguards returned to hand by this skill, this unit gains 1 Critical.

[Cardfight!! Vanguard] Upcoming event in March '13
Oh you guise, BSR still loves you.
Sanctioned event in March: no fighters rules on deck building applies. It means you guys may use cards that are being banned or restricted. Silvest may be used, Barcgal may be used as startup VG, and the recent restriction will not be in effect.
Rejoice!
Though it will only be held in Japan. At least it's still a good news for you QQ'ers, no?

[Cardfight!! Vanguard] Thoughts on Oct '12's restriction list
I know everyone has been QQ'ing about the new restriction list.
To be honest, I don't care. You might say "LOL AKI BUT YOU NO HAVE THE DECKS, SO YOU NO KNOW HOW WE FEEL DESU!!!!!!". Oh, really? I do have such decks - MLB-KoK, Eclipse, and The End. I just chose not to use them frequently, because I prefer to go against the norm.
Know what? I agree with uncle Homura, we brought this upon ourselves. If you guys do notice, the cards being restricted are dominating competitions and tournaments everywhere. These are the players who dominates the majority of player base, spamming the said cards everywhere and refusing to switch for other options. It's due to this, BSR tried to balance out the meta by introducing more crossrides and restricting the said cards.
inb4, Aki is a BSR fanboi. No, I kinda disagree with BSR's decision on this restriction list. However, to have the players switch for other playstyles, you just have to take drastic measures sometimes, and this is what BSR opt to do. Surely, the staffs over at BSR would have thought thoroughly before coming up with such restriction.
You guys might ask about Ezel, Vermillion, Maelstrom, etc. Aren't they meta too? I'd say yes, they're becoming meta clans too. I won't be surprised if BSR decides to introduce restriction on them one day if players keep spamming them on every stages of competition.
Do remember that we still have many clans to try out. It's not like BSR is shutting you off from playing Vanguard, no? Just like everything and any card games, Vanguard will keep changing and evolving. So, if you really think that this restriction is fucking up the game, and you see no future in the game, you are welcome to quit the game; others will keep adapting to the game, just like how everyone does.
