Banlist AfterMath and analysis

Hi guys this is Le Jester over here. Today we will be discussing about the aftermath of the Banlist and my opinion of what i think it is. I will only discuss the highlights of it that really deserves the special mention.

1st and foremost. The King of BadAsses have return to 4.

Yes this is no joke. Dote to 4. Hmm so is dote still broken? Lets 1st analyse what this card really does.
DOTE's effect:
[CONT](VC/RC):If you have a non-«Kagero» vanguard or rear-guard, this unit gets [Power]-2000. [CONT](VC):If you have a card named "Dragonic Overlord" in your soul, this unit gets [Power]+2000. [AUTO] (VC): [Counter Blast (2) & Choose a card named "Dragonic Overlord the End" from your hand, and discard it] When this unit's attack hits, you may pay the cost. If you do, [Stand] this unit.

Lets now read it line by line.
Line 1: [CONT](VC/RC):If you have a non-«Kagero» vanguard or rear-guard, this unit gets [Power]-2000.
So he has to have at least a rearguard to get his 11k base. Hmm so what happens if you left him alone on the field with Dragonic Lawkeeper? He becomes a squishy 9k base.

Line 2:[CONT](VC):If you have a card named "Dragonic Overlord" in your soul, this unit gets [Power]+2000.
So if he is successfully crossride, he gains additional 2k base, which makes him a 13k base. Looking at the current meta, its unlikely for him to be a 13k base where everyone will run on dauntless drive dragon.
This also means that DOTE just gets more consistent with the standing of the vanguard with dauntless drive dragon.

Line 3:[AUTO] (VC): [Counter Blast (2) & Choose a card named "Dragonic Overlord the End" from your hand, and discard it] When this unit's attack hits, you may pay the cost. If you do, [Stand] this unit.
So dote needs 2 counterblast and a copy of itself in hand for it to stand again. Its still counterblast heavy which allows him to stand a maximum of about 3 times per game.

Now you can use Conroe as your starter vanguard as well.
 +  or  
Now you can use the conroe flame of hope combo again to pressure your opponent to guard or use a boosted heatnail salamander to pressure them to retire their rearguard or ya can use this new starter.
Or alternatively you can use a red pulse dracokid to get either a dauntless drive dragon or DOTE to hand.

Next on our list is the return of Silent Tom.

Yes this is more scary than a DOTE or a Glory maestrom. A Silent Tom that points in your face.
Silent Tom's Effect:
[CONT](VC/RC):During a battle that this unit attacks, if you have an «Oracle Think Tank» vanguard, your opponent cannot normal call grade 0 units to (GC).

Oh yes you can't guard with a grade zero. Hmm means you must guard with your attackers. Which is more draining than a dote or a glory maelstrom. Worse case is your field is already empty and you need to guard with your attackers. You are screwed big time with a gun my friend.

Next would be Descendant

So what makes descendant so broken?
Descendant's effect:
[AUTO](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Counter Blast (1) & Choose three cards with "Eradicator" in its card name from your hand, and discard them] At the beginning of the close step of the battle that this unit attacked, if the attack did not hit during that battle, you may pay the cost. If you do, [Stand] this unit, and gets [Critical]+1 until end of turn. This ability cannot be used for the rest of that turn. [ACT](VC):[Counter Blast (2) - Cards with "Eradicator" in its card name] This unit gets [Power]+5000 until end of turn. [CONT](VC/RC): Lord (If you have a unit that doesn't belong to the same clan as this unit, this unit cannot attack.)

So his effect will trigger if the attack did not hit during that battle which means it doesnt matter whether you are going to guard it or not. He will still skewer your ass with his sword and to only get Stronger if you were to guard it. It has a cheap counter blast 1 and discard of 3 cards which allows him to gain additional criticals and pressure to your opponent. So its either you guard it all or you dont guard.

Highlights in Le-Vanguard MarketPlace & Updates

Hi guys, here is some highlights of what is going on in our marketplace.

Ya saw it... We decide to suspend some members in our marketplace and also trolled them in return. That's what ya get for backdealing over here.

Speaking of backdealing, We actually do have rules in the marketplace where most of you all fail to read and comply.

Rules and Regulation
Hey traders, Here is some of our updated rules and regulation that you have to abide.
1. Bidding/ Auction.
In this group, bidding and auction is allowed. However the post must meet our conditions for us to allow it.

- Make sure that your bid has these criteria: Starting bid, Closing date, Autowin price, minimum increment. Without any of these, We will hide or delete your post without any warning.

-At any given time, there can only be 3 Auction / Bid in this group at any given time. Therefore if there is 3 bids, you may not post any more bids and auction on this place until it expires or its closed.

-Bidding and auction period should not exceed a period of 48 hours duration after it is posted and will expire immediately. This is to give chance to other people who wants to bid and auction their cards and to prevent flooding of the page.

2. Backdealer, Galahaders, Aeroplaners.
In this group backdealers will be blacklisted for minimum of 3 months until there is a clean record and new feedback from dealers.

3. Verbal Abuse and Profanity.
Insulting of members or admins with the use of Vulgarities is strictly not allowed in this group. Members who are caught doing this will be kicked and removed without any warnings.

4. Spamming and repetitive postings.
Spamming is not allowed in this group. Each member is only allowed to post up to twice a day. Duration between each posts should not be lesser than 8 hours. This is to prevent flooding of the marketplace by the same user and to give equal chance for all members to post and trade.

Meanwhile, Happy dealing.

So back to my post. Why i make all these rules for, Is to give every trader an equal chance to trade and put those Aeroplaners and Backdealers to Justice. I guess I have made clear about it.

Next we are going to talk about the type of traders and players we have in the Vanguard Scene of Singapore.

1.Aeroplaner
Our Standard type of Stealth Planes where will turn off their phones and will not turn up no matter what. Often uncontactable and untraceable during the time of transaction. When contacted will say that "I got something on that day. PS can deal next week?".

2. Mr. Invisible
This is the type of people that will Aeroplane or Pang Seh and will not turn up for your agreed transaction no matter how far or near the POC is and will pretend and say "I wait at there but you didn't turn up". They are the type that will push the blame to the dealer instead of themselves.

3.Rich Jimmy
This guy is someone who is very rich and can afford to play Best tier deck. Often dio scammed and not very strong in skills. Play the deck just because they can. In other words noobs that are rich. Note that they are often very arrogant and often misplace and lost their deck. Often act as the spark for the case of Deck Thefts

4.Trollahad
Make false deals and also make false offer on posts. Watchout for this bunch of trolls they often cheat your feeling and will 100% pang seh and aeroplane you. Will not turn up and will pretend and say he never post or commented.

5.Forget me Not
Often forgets and genuinely forget to turn up for transactions and deals. People like this, i suggest ya contact closely and remind them of the deal. Also have a high tendency of leaving their deck behind after a match and also another target for deck thefts.

Here is only the part 1 of the list.... Stay tune for part 2.
