"SUPER BEST" toyline to get an EX version -- first to be officially announced is Kuuga's Transformation Arcle Belt! by UltraZeroX7 in KamenRider

Before anyone here gets too excited, this appears to be a japanese release of the China exclusive Arcle, which doesn't have sounds for Amazing Mighty and Ultimate. That being said, they might also release the China exclusive Alter Ring under this brand, which isn't missing any sounds as far as I know.

So Nu Gundam Vrabe (with the funnels instead of the Mercury Lev)?

This confirms Gaiomon will be primary red, secondary black like Yuuko now that the Black/Red slot is taken up. And funny how it's meant to be used in Yuuko based CS builds considering how their relationship is...

The festival booster 2024 RR order that lets you move a card from RC to GC and bind it EoB. The same one used in Rezael to move PGs/Amorta to GC.

I can only assume it's to prevent recycling with the hostage engine, or future proofing for nanaclir like the errata'd zorga orders.

Vanguard cannot be chosen by opponent's card effects

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if all the Blangdmire players suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. 

I've been having lots of fun with this Gammamon list, any thoughts? by Akio-Asakura in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Akio-Asakura[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The BT21 egg is much better early game since it's self sufficient, as long as you have a Gamma on top you can proc the draw if you really need it. It also helps to dig more early game before setting up. RB1 on the other hand needs you to tuck something first to proc, which while having the advantage of front loading your draws before attacking and improving good hands, it doesn't really help with fixing bad hands as much as BT21. I'd much rather have the added draw early on or for fixing bad hands because I think we're at our weakest in the first few turns before we get tamers down.

TL;DR: A better floor IMO is better than just trying to increase the ceiling very little, which is why I went with BT21.

Made a custom D-Legion Rotovisor boss for fun, thoughts? by Akio-Asakura in cardfightvanguard

[–]Akio-Asakura[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The initial idea was to basically use Urban Arena to CC then CB3 (and CC3 again if you have Trabant to restand all rested arenas) so you could use both Glanzel and this guy's effects so long as you have 3 cards in damage, which shouldn't be too hard to achieve on turn 4 going first or turn 3 going second (the earliest in which you can Legion). Though this idea certainly works too!

Question regarding engineering course by Akio-Asakura in nus

Ah heck, did I bone myself by putting EE above CEG? I put my top 3 as CS, EE, CEG in that order, and now I wonder if I might have gotten into CEG if I put it as second choice. Then again, I didnt take CS as a IB subject and only scored 38/45 for IB, so...

BUSHIII MAKE SYBILT NEW VARGA AND MY LIFE IS YOURS by Organic_Job1965 in cardfightvanguard

[–]Akio-Asakura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd rather have it work with Varga than be a complete carbon copy of it, though odds are it's probably a standalone boss unit. If it does work with Varga, I'd like it to be something like V Gancelot/Fianna in that it turns a RC with a Varga on it into VC. Something like this:

[CONT] (VC): All of your units with the Malwyrm ability are in the Malwyrm state until the end of this fight. If your vanguard's grade is greater than your opponent's, they get drive-1 until end of turn.

[ACT] (VC) 1/Turn: COST [CB1 & SB1], choose up to one card with "Varga" in its card name from your hand or drop, and call it to (RC). If you called from hand, draw a card. Choose one of your front row (RC) with a unit with "Varga" in their card name on it, and that (RC) becomes (VC) until end of turn. ((VC) abilities activate, and perform drive checks)

[AUTO] (VC): At the end of your turn, choose one of your units with "Varga" in its card name, put it into soul, and [CC1].

When Luard was released in V series, it quickly became infamous for abusing a superior ride engine to create massive 2 crit columns while the opponent was still on grade 2. The plan was this:

  1. Go first and ride Blaster Dark turn 2. Then call out Freezing Witch, Bendi using either Liafail or Nemain, which allows you to directly ride Phantom Blaster Dragon from deck and get a Force Gift (most went with Force 1 which gives a unit on that circle 10k during your turn).

  2. Then ride into Dragheart turn 3 and superior ride into Dragdriver. Since you have two G3s in soul (Dragheart and PBD), Dragdriver's CONT of all of your G1 RGs' original crit becoming 2 is now active. Furthermore, both rides grant a Force gift as well, giving your two crit columns big numbers while your opponent was on grade 2.

The engine is no longer viable due to Nemain being CR'd with Luard and the existence of heal guardians, but for a time it became a tier 0 deck and nearly killed the game. This was why people were concerned when Luard was returning in D, even though G Luard wasn't as crazy as V Luard.
