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.

Bushiroad Festival 2013

Hey there readers! Thanks for stopping by the le vanguard blog. I hope you find this post interesting.

So anyway for those of you who didn't know there was a Bushiroad festival held at Suntec City on the 24 and 25 of September. For those of you who did go for this event i hope you guys and girls enjoyed it as much as i did. We all probably still have the blue or purple stamp marks on our arms (damn they are annoying when you try and get it off) from the Cardfight Vanguard and Weis Schwarz events held on their respective days. There were tons of prizes that were distributed on these two days. An example of these loots would include limited edition deck cases from the mini games there, mouse pads, PR cards and files.

It was also the only time where players could grab the Fighters Collection 2013, a extinct booster that is high on demand. Despite the long queue in the morning and the countless hours of standing, I personally feel that the wait was well worth it as i managed to snag the deck cases as well as the shirts and other prizes.

Overall it was time well spent as not only did i get to fight fighters from all over the nation, I could also get some sweet deals for boosters and other TCG products. I mean where else can u find a promotion that says $10 for 5 boosters? I highly encourage you guys and girls to come down to these events held by Bushiroad in the future as they are not only enriching for your Vanguard or Weis Schwarz journey to gain experience but these events also act as a platform to make new friends and to learn more about the games.

Thank you for reading this post and we hope to meet you guys in person during the next official Bushiroad event.

Anime Matsuri with lots of fun and dissapointment

Hey guys its AF Genovious. Due to some blogger issue i have to change my name to Aichi Sendou but dont fret the small issues all that matters is that i am back and boy do i have some good new for you guys.

For those of you who do not know, Anime Matsuri is a Japan pop culture week held this year at Funan Digital Life Mall. One of the key attractions this year was that the CEO of bushiroad, Mr Takkaki Kidani, was coming down and was hosting a CEO challenge.
Well being a cardfighter i decided to go down and this is my feedback. The good point is that it was a good platform for fighters all over the nation to gather and fight their hearts out. I met players from as far as sengkang and pasir ris and I had a fun time fighting. What really disappointed me was that the area was way too small and the time given for the challenge was too little, allowing those who were really lucky in jan ken pon to get a chance to fight the CEO. However, the CEO aint no pushover. He won all the challengers (except one) with only a Aqua Force TRIAL DECK!!!!! Yes a trial deck and as i saw the battle progress, i was really amazed at the skill of the CEO to be able to win with such a basic deck against completed decks like Glory Trans core and GOTS. In the end, I could only roam and fight random fighters and i managed to test out my new deck in the process. Overall, Anime Matsuri is a good event with much time for interaction between people who share the same passion and i encourage people to head down for the next Anime Matsuri or probably the next event. The time spent is worth while trust me.
This is Aichi Sendou signing off, till the next post.
