Overhyped Cards
Goddess of Good Luck, Fortuna
Seriously? Was expecting it to be at $18. I believed i have argued why this card is sometimes not that effective.
Underhyped Cards
Roaring Ripple, Genovious
Persona blast and get a free mr invincible effect. I guess persona blast is not that popular in the meta, What's more its also a chain ride. Why play chain ride if ya can do a break ride? To me, i believe this card has some potential
Ancient Dragon Spino Driver
For its effect, its pretty cheap. Guess Dinos just aren't as badass and popular as as compared to dragons.
Ancient Dragon, Parasawall
Looks like tachikaze will become similar to the fate of spike brothers. Its a cheap and effective deck ready to kickass and have a share in the metagame.
Armor Break Dragon
Shouldnt't this card should cost like $7 to $8. It still has it uses though in narukami deck.
Decks that are cheap to build
Tachikaze 70 to 80
Celestial 70 to 90
Genovous Aqua force 60 to 80
blockade crossride 70 to 90
Potential Top Tier Decks
Tier 1
Angel Feather - Celestials
Kagero - Dauntless Dote
Aqua force - Revonn - transcore variants

Thats all for now folks. Stay tune for deck profiles and clan analysis.

A tale of two cards 2
Hi guys, resuming back another discussion session with this section of A tale of two cards. Today we are going to discuss and evaluate these two cards in BT11.
Today we are going to discuss about these two cards: Goddess of Good Luck, Fortuna and Ravenous Dragon, Battle Rex. So which is better and how do I use the cards?
VS 
Goddess of Good Luck, Fortuna's Effect:
[AUTO](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Soul Blast (3)] When this unit's drive check reveals a grade 1 or greater «Genesis», you may pay the cost. If you do, put the card from that drive check into your drop zone, and perform an additional drive check. [ACT](VC):[Soul Blast (3)] 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)
Ravenous Dragon, Battle Rex Effect:
[AUTO](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):When this unit's drive check reveals a grade 3 «Tachikaze», choose one of your rear-guards, retire it, and this unit gets [Power]+10000 until end of that battle. [AUTO](VC):When this unit is boosted by a «Tachikaze», this unit gets [Power]+3000 until end of that battle.
Fortuna
Lets 1st analyse the uses of fortuna. Firstly, for fortuna's effect to trigger, you need to reveal a grade 1 and pay the cost of soul blasting 3 to perform and additional drive check to gain an extra drive check.
Pros:
It will be good to apply constant pressure on your opponent for them to guard No Trigger pass all the way. So Do I always get a trigger? No... Genesis is a type of deck that will soul charge a lot and there are times where triggers will get soul charged under your vanguard. It is good for filtering the unwanted grade 1s, 2s and 3s during late game to lucksack a trigger out of it. Performing a Drive check that reveals a draw trigger may or may not be good for ya if you have your triggers stacked and may hasten up the trigger. Anyways another question is what if i drive check 2 grade 1s and above? Can i use the effect and stacked it? The effect of the 1st drive checked can be used and so long as you have enough soul to pay its cost.and to therefore the 1st checked has to be resolved 1st then the other one can be performed. Means you drive check a g1, you can pay its cost as much as you want until you get a trigger. before the second drive check.
Cons:
Whats the worst trigger to drive check while ya at 4 damage? A fucking heal trigger. A heal trigger and a grade 1 for your drive check is enough to make you either facepalm or flip tables on this card. A draw trigger might also kill you as you dun want to draw a trigger with a draw trigger. The other bad side of it would be if you abused it too much, it will eat up your soul and leave you soulless which in other words impotent once a genesis vanguard has no more souls under them. Another cons of it would be a trigger soul charged by your rearguards effect, which would decrease the chances of pulling a trigger.
Battle Rex
So how about Battle Rex? For Battle rex effect to takes in effect, It just needs to drive check a grade 3 and pay the cost of retiring one tachikaze rearguard to gain an additional 10k attack. Oh so its similar to Goku where all your grade 3s are 10k triggers. So in other words, 8 Grade 3s + 16 triggers = 24 triggers. 50 - 1 starting vanguard = 49. Assuming you have 24/49 triggers. That is about a 50.50 chance of pulling triggers.
Pros:
It apply great pressure on your opponent with a whooping 20k additional power if a grade 3 is drive checked. which the maximum power it can get would be a 38k vanguard with a 8k vanilla booster and assuming your opponent has a 11k vanguard, he would need to guard 30k no pass every turn, if he want's to be safe from any damage. Therefore, if a double grade 3 were to be revealed, it means ya have to retire 2 units. So what cards do i retire? Below are just some suggestions.
Cons
The cons of it would be a squishy 10k base power where it gets ramped quite easily as a vanguard.
To conclude, I like to say that fortuna is quite overhyped than it actually is. Means its not that good especially where you have to lucksack a lot and you have to pay a huge sum of soul blast to abuse its effect, where i would rather run a iwanagahime where i can clear the front row to push for game. As for battle rex, its good for consistant pressure on your opponent where half your deck is triggers.
Disclaimer: These are only my opinions of what these two cards are, not to be deemed as an absolute answer to what it is. Opinions may be slightly biased to a certain extent.

Study guide on Seal Dragons
Hi guys, This is Le Jester over here. Today i am gonna share with you about sealed dragons and why they are OP and can screw your opponent's aqua force deck.
Seal Dragons
Seal Dragons
Burning Hell Seal Dragon, Blockade Inferno
[ACT](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Counter Blast (2) - Cards with "Seal Dragon" in its card name] Retire all of your opponent's grade 2 units, and this unit gets [Power]+10000 until end of turn. [CONT](VC):If you have a card named "Seal Dragon, Blockade" in your soul, this unit gets [Power]+2000. [CONT](VC/RC): Lord (If you do not have units with the same clan as this unit, this unit cannot attack.)
Okay folks lets discuss about the uses of this card. So its a counterblast 2 cards with seal dragons to get a +10k to retire all grade 2s on the field. The question you might wanna ask would be: Isn't Armor Break Dragon better where it retires the front row. My answer is both cards are strong and has its uses however i gotta say that sealed dragons are very effective against decks like Aqua Force. Why is that so?
Storm Rider, Basil is a grade 2. Aqua force usually flood their field with at least 2 to 3 grade 2s on the field. And basil is one of the most irritating cards that would always hide at the backrow when finished delivering the 1st attack with it. So how do i kill that son of a gun? One way is to use cards like dragonic deathscythe, berserk dragon to target it and retire it for the same cost of counterblast 2. Another way is to kill them with the effect of blockade inferno. Another question about blockade inferno you might ask will be, what if opponent has only grade 3s and 1s on the field or he only has one grade 2?
Let me introduce another card in this archetype of sealed dragons which will answer this question for me.
Seal Dragon, Corduroy
[AUTO]:[Counter Blast (1) - Cards with "Seal Dragon" in its card names] When this unit is placed on (VC) or (RC), if you have a <Kagero> vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your opponent's rear-guards, and retire it, and your opponent look at up to four cards from the top of his or her deck, chooses up to one grade 2 from among them, call it to (RC), and your opponent shuffles his or her deck.
So in this case... What if opponent controls a diamantes thats sits at the backrow as well. Here is one method to screw your opponent up. Use Corduroy to retire the diamantes and hopes he get a basil from the top 4 cards that he picked up to call to rearguard. So why a Basil? Coz you wanna screw up your opponent field and clear all the basils in the deck which will render their Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom useless without any 4th attacks. or alternatively you can retire their booster behind their vanguard to call a basil out.
So what i wanna say is that Aqua force is totally no threat to seal dragons at all and is extremely fun to play and troll with.
In other words the combo you need to pull off the stunt is:
+
After babbling so much about the aboved mentioned combos, Can blockade inferno be played with Dauntless drive dragon? My answer is yes, You dont say. It can be played like a final turn kind of thing. Where blockade and corduroy help you clear all intercepters and rearguards, dauntless drive breakride ability help you to gain additional 10k attack power and also an ability to stand you vanguard again at the cost of discarding 3 cards.
So in total, 11k + 10k + 10k = 31k unboosted vanguard and a 39k with a 8k booster. So in other words, your opponent has to drop a 30k guard for 1 trigger pass and 35 for two and 40 for no trigger pass. But what if i pull all effects into my vanguard and restand it again. So assuming i play criticals, It will be a 41k without any boost and if i were to get both trigger to power up my vanguard. So for the 2nd attack, it will be a 35k guard for 1 trigger pass, 40k guard for 2 trigger pass and 45k for a no trigger pass. To total up, It will be a 40k + 45k = 85 guard to guard the vanguard alone. And assuming both your rearguard columns are 18k, it be a total of 105k guard if your opponent do not have any negates on his hand.
Oh well, that all for now folks, to conclude. Sealed dragons are Badasses that will be a potential OP contender alongside with narukami and their dragonic descendant.
Let me introduce another card in this archetype of sealed dragons which will answer this question for me.
[AUTO]:[Counter Blast (1) - Cards with "Seal Dragon" in its card names] When this unit is placed on (VC) or (RC), if you have a <Kagero> vanguard, you may pay the cost.

Sanctuary Guard Dragon
[CONT](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage): During your turn, this unit gets [Power]+3000 for each of your grade 1 or less «Royal Paladin» rear-guards. [AUTO]:[Choose a «Royal Paladin» from your hand, and discard it] When this unit placed on (VC), you may pay the cost. If you do, search your deck for up to one grade 1 or less «Royal Paladin», call it to (RC), and shuffle your deck. [CONT](VC/RC): Lord (If you have a unit that doesn't belong to the same clan as this unit, this unit cannot attack)

This unit is supposedly a Fang of Light, Garmore remake with a base of 11000 attack power, Sanctuary Guard Dragon (SGD lol singapore dollar but hey thats the initials what to do) easily triumphs over garmore in the sense that SGD get +3000 for every grade one or lesser rear guard (doesnt specify a particular name) while Fang of light Garmore only get +1000 for each SNOGAL OR BRUGAL on your rear guard. Although both have the same effect of dropping a Royal Paladin card from your hand in order to superior call a grade 1 or less rear guard, SGD is definitely a better card because you can call ANYTHING while garmore can only call snogal or brugal. Strategy wise, SGD is terrifying with the current break ride, set him up with a Swordsman of Explosive Flames, Palomedes and Toypugal combo and your opponent will have a hard time to guard if they do not have a perfect guard in their hands. I am interested to see what cards are supposedly going to be released in order to make SGD even more terrifying. Stay tuned for more Cardfight Vanguard news.
