Cray Journal: Link Jokers

Hey folks, Imma just write a mini tourney report and a cray journal about my experience at Chak Fung's 2 man team tourney.

Before that lets talk about my journey for the past 2 weeks since i entered with CBD.
Here was my 1st decklist when i entered.

SVG: Dust tail Unicorn
G0:
4x Meteor Liger
4x Vice Soldat
4x Nebula Captor
4x Stellar Garage

G1
4x Promethium
4x Palladium
3x Chaos Beat Dragon
3x Neon

G2
4x Colony maker
3x Mobius Breath Dragon
4x Radon

G3
4x Infinite Zero Dragon
4x Chaos breaker Dragon

Reviews and experience after playing with this decklist.

Problem 1: Chaos beat dragon
6k base... Get poke by anything and almost everything.
He isn't a good rearguard booster if ya have a 9k rearguard such as colony maker and mobius breath dragon. 15k rearguard collumn gives a 5k guard for rearguard.

So ya telling me to put this behind the vanguard of CBD for a 21k column... Hmmm... right.... So what would ya normally do when ya guarding the middle lane? 20k 2 pass? or just negate? How bout putting the CBD as a rearguard? What card would ya discard as a fodder for CBD and Kanzen? A jam card like a G3 right? And ya get a palladium that will shut down that collumn.

Problem 2: Chaos Breaker Dragon
I am not high to mention this. But CBD has a notorious problem of decking out and unable to end games. Lets all Draw, Deck out, and Lock each other rearguards.

Here is the modded decklist that I used for Link Joker and the team tourney

SVG: Dust tail Unicorn
G0:
4x Meteor Liger
4x Vice Soldat
4x Nebula Captor
4x Stellar Garage

G1
4x Promethium
4x Palladium
4x Demonic Claw Star-vader, Lanthanum
2x Neon

G2
4x Colony maker
3x Mobius Breath Dragon
4x Radon

G3
4x Infinite Zero Dragon
3x Chaos breaker Dragon
1x Nebula Lord Dragon

Reviews and experiences after testing the new decklist.
Nebula Lord Dragon: It help end games. Break Riding a nebula over an Infinite zero is just very pain for late game when the game is stagnant and keeps ya opponent at the edge of his seat. +3k to all front row for each locked unit.

Nebula lord dragon isnt there to use his CB. Ya use the palladium to lock units with CB1 than use the CB2. just imagine all ya columns get +9k and ya control a Lanthanum.

Lanthanum: He combos very well with Radon and CBD given CBD's nature to only lock once per turn. he easily becomes a 9k booster and able to drive a 21k column easily and also as explained good for feeding Steroids and Ecstasy for Final turn. 7k base also makes it a better option over the chaos beat dragon.

to cut the long story short.

It all lies down to this match. The Most Crucial Match.
Kagero(DDD-inferno) vs CBD(Khai)
Nubatama vs CBD(Khant)
Outcome: Lose-Lose

Notable Experiences faced:
1. Misgrade at mobius for 1 turn in 2 games and still win matches.
2. Survived Daikaiser Twiced. Playing granblue and DI really help me. Credits to Aetas Kun for teaching me :D
3. Loss to Kagero and nubatama which got me stunned at the edge of my seat.

So what actually happened here. It got us really stunned. Just when everyone expect an RFD or CBD to top and kill Link Jokers.

Lets leave ya guys in suspense for now. Imma not gonna reveal how we lost that match which cost us the top 2 positions. Stay tune for the next journal where i am gonna explain in further details.

Hi guys, this is le jester over here. Its been like a week or so since I last update or made a new post.

Match 1
Can't remember much, but both has a huge handsize and a match that last vry long.

Same as match 1.
XX

Result 3rd/4th. Top 4 participants decide to share prize.

Now back to the discussion and FAQ About Ancient Dragons, Below are just some of the FAQ that will get you some insights on the deck.
Why more Tachis are Appearing in the meta?
It is cost effective to build. For about $80 you can build one and start eradicating those eradicators and kick ass in the metagame.

Can I use spino's breakride if I have only one rearguard and does the vanguard gain the 10k if I dont pay cost?
No.Apparently, you have to pay cost in order successfully break ride on a spino and gain its full effect.
Here is what the card has to say:
[AUTO] Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Choose two of your «Tachikaze» rear-guards, and retire them] When a «Tachikaze» rides this unit, you may pay the cost. If you do, draw two cards, choose one of your vanguards, and that unit gets [Power]+10000/[Critical]+1 until end of turn. [AUTO](VC):When this unit attacks, if the number of rear-guards you have is more than your opponent's, this unit gets [Power]+2000 until end of that battle. [CONT](VC/RC): Lord (If you do not have units with the same clan as this unit, this unit cannot attack.)
Therefore for the new vanguard to gain the additional power of 10k and 1 extra critical, you would need to pay its cost of retiring 2 tachikaze units. However this effect may also be a double edge sword. Use it Wisely.
One tip on countering spino, Try to retire and clear their rearguards. Spino needs to eat its rearguard and they need to retire the right rearguards at the correct timing to gain its pluses and to add the pressure.

Can I still superior call a tyranno legend if my opponent decide to retire my Baby Rex or Iguanagorg?
Yes you may superior call him.
Here is baby rex's effect:
[AUTO]: Forerunner (When another unit of the same clan rides this unit, you may call it to (RC)) [AUTO]:[Counter Blast (1)] When this unit is put into the drop zone from (RC), if you have a «Tachikaze» vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, search your deck for up to one card named "Ancient Dragon, Tyrannolegend", call it to (RC), and shuffle your deck.

Iguanagorg's effect:
[AUTO]:[Counter Blast (1)] When this unit is put into the drop zone from (RC), if you have a vanguard with "Ancient Dragon" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, call this card to (RC).

Should I add a Sonic Noa (8k booster) to my deck?
My answer is no, It would not have synergy with tyranno legend although you can hit magic numbers if boosted with Spino Driver, it will be a Jam card on your field if you were to boost a tyranno legend.
Tyranno legend would require you to retire 3 units with "Ancient Dragon" in its name to gain the additional 10k and bonus critical when attacking. With a Sonic noa behind him, will screw up your field and cause you to do less stunts with the deck and will not let you hit for high numbers if you are not using his effect.

In conclusion, I would like to mentioned that Ancient Dragons might be one of the best answers I had against the huge wave  of eradicators as a counter measure . It has the consistency and the aggressiveness to push for game in the early game and mid game. And also last till late game and still kick ass with the bonus criticals.
It is a versatile deck to play however, It requires pure timing and set up to really pull off its effects and perform its stunts to screw your opponent up with your Spino Drivers and Tyranno Legend. Ancient Dragon is not as easy as you thought it would be as it can also be a double edged sword at times and at  times, it can give massive advantage and put massive pressure on your opponent every turn.
