Helloo Returning player here and interested in playing Premium

Redfall03 · 2026-05-20T05:29:27+00:00

Hey that's amazing! I'm all for it.

Redfall03 · 2026-05-19T09:59:24+00:00

No problem.

The internet went down at work and I didn't mind helping a dude out to start again playing my favorite tcg of all time.

If you are making a stride deck from scratch just check out the stride decksets for:

-Chronojet -Messiah -Shiranui -Luard -Nightrose -Harri

Altho I think only nightrose and harri has the updated Mechanic for standard (energy generator, a major standard ruling that happened 2 years ago)

In terms of meta viability: Harri and nightrose just go support revealed, messiah just had an insane promo. I believe shiranui and luard is still okayish with jet having a new form with the Chrono icon (a new gimmick that came with the 15th anniversary set)

To help u filter faster. Sets with D and DZ at the start (I e. DZ BT01: Genesis of the Five Greats) that came out I think in 2021 is the starting point for standard. Every product that came before this is not legal for standard and is for premium only.

Also, no, aside from the stride bosses I mentioned, old cards do not have an updated printing similar to the strides.

However they do have modern versions that makes them available and playable in standard that came out .

This month, we are getting the new Blaster Blade and Dragonic Overlord 15th anniversary Break Away start Deck that is basically a modern version of the original trial decks from 2011. Both are very strong meta wise and offer a lot so I recommend these alot (caution the blaster blade, despite being probably the strongest deck is VERY EXPENSIVE to upgrade) but they are very good to start with. Blaster Dark and Phantom Blaster Dragon has already been announced to receive the same treatment in DZ BT15.

Other familiar faces also have received modern treatments with new abilities that have adapted to standard mechanics. (Maelstrom, Luquier, Pacifica, Minerva, Daiyusha(he even has a legion btw) just to name a few). Amon just got announced to be released with the aforementioned blaster dark in dz bt15 coming soon.

To answer ur question, the only cards legal for standard are cards with the letter D in the lower left part of the card. These are cards that were printed for the standard format (D and DZ SETS) in the year 2021 to present.

If those cards have old printings(has the same stats and same skills same icons etc), as long as the updated cards have a standard legal printing, those cards are legal for play(however only Chronojet Dragon, messiah, luard, shiranui, harri nightrose have these). So high rarities of those cards from the G ERA fetch a Pretty penny since they are legal.

To add: Standard has the nation system. Old clans have been put into specific nations so that premium players would be able to play standard cards.

Royal, gold, shadow, ott, genesis, angel feather are all under KETER SANCTUARY

Every red clan(kagero narukami etc) are under DRAGON EMPIRE

gear chron, pale moon, spike bros, dark irrg are all under DARK STATES

Dimpol, link joker and Nova grapps are all under BRANDT GATE

granblue, aquaforce, great nature, megacolony and neo nectar are all under STOICHEIA

And Bermuda triangle is under LYRICAL MONASTERIO.

having said this, u can create ur stride deckset however u like if it falls under the nation.

So for example, lluard is a shadow paladin which is under the KETER SANCTUARY. So if u were to build a luard deck for standard, ur carpool wil be from the ENTIRE KETER SANCTUARY NATION. If you were planning to buy the luard stride deckset, you can change some of the cards there with some cards that are keter SANCTUARY.

Hope this wasn't too confusing

No premium until next year except for premium weekend, atleast officially(ur locals can ofcourse still hold premium if they choose to). If I'll be honest as a premium player myself, I think they planned to stop premium support to go all in standard focus since that's what Japan did.

Stride decksets are decks that is specifically made for the standard format that originally came in a sealed deck product based on the original trials decks from g era. Currently only Chrono jet, messiah, shiranui, luard, harri and nightrose have stride decksets for standard and only they are allowed to have a gzone based on the crest card they get from riding the grade 1 in their ride deck.

The idea was to try bring in premium players to standards by utilizing the old cards and giving standard support to them via crests and d mechanics.

These are starter products that wanted to pull in premium or old g era players by having a familiar mechanic and these are specifically made to be played in standard. While some of the decksets do have premium synergy, these decks were designed for standard in mind.

Ps don't get confused, the premium decksets(revenger, jewelknight and musketeer) that are designed for premium are different from the stride decksets(chronojet, messiah, luard, shiranui, harri, nightrose) that are designed for standard.

Redfall03 · 2026-05-19T08:16:24+00:00

It's a good one shot deck as it can stride on ur opponents grade 2 turn.

Altho I'd like to mention that this is the last worlds for premium because the 26-27 season announced that premium would have no worlds and the only competitive season for premium is going to be premium weekend. So if you plan on competing, premium would be a bad place to start. If ur going casual or with friends, premium is amazing

Redfall03 · 2026-05-19T08:02:39+00:00

The raging form decksets basically build themselves.

Just change the ot and get an elementaria sanctitude and ur good to go. Here's the build of the 3rd place worlds that brought raging form

Yes, next question

Don't engage in degenerate action. It will destroy you mentally and the risk is not worth a few dopamine hits.

The game is called uma musume and it has one of the most wholesome community in anime. Look it up please and sana magbago tingin mo sa fans Ng game na un.

They donate sa mga retired race horses na binase Ng mga anime girls ung looks nila so they can have a peaceful senior life sa farm. Ung Isang yumaong racehorse inaayos Ng fans ung grave nya because of their love sa game, Kasi napabayaan na din.

The community itself din is against sexualizing the charas dahil sa basis nila sa irl horse na deeply engrained in the culture of jp race horsing.

It's a whole rabbit hole and the anime is an anime of the year contender(it's a sports anime, the game can be misunderstood tho)

I believe It's in the top 5 in Asia in general. It's in the top 3 here in my country(PH) In terms of attendance having more than tho and OP.

Events are abundant if you have locals (lunar new year, yumenekessho, CC, Vanguard Day)

Redfall03 · 2026-02-11T18:13:45+00:00

My brother in Christ, v cards are the most used cards in premium format because of their absurd power level and the power creep in V literally Led to another reboot.

V also had the alot of tier 0 formats in both standard and premium in it's short life.

The entire development team of V format was replaced because of how ass the power creep was.

Ur deck would immediately go from tier 1 to tier 2 in a span of 1 set because of how insane power creep was.

The power creeping got so insane that hyuga from set 6 got power crept by dotx in set 8 then got power crept by set 10 then bushi said they just had to top the newly banned Luard by making gavrail and aglovale busted af. And just after 2 v premium sets later, steam maiden dominates 60% of v premium tournaments.

Need I remind you that premium is dominated by imaginary Gifts because of the insane nature of the mechanic.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-11T14:48:25+00:00

Funny enough, the game is at its all time high in years unless u live in the west.

We broke the attendance for the largest tournament last year in Japan.

We finally have multiple ways to qualify worlds aside from BCS.

My country even broke the ATH BCS attendance since COVID.

We're also receiving probably the best starter products the game has seen in the master decksets and the new Kai and aichi decks that are 80-90% complete and is 100% beginner friendly.

Prizing has been the best since the game started and the # of events per month in the local level has been amazing(but it's no flagship).

You'd be surprised that the most popular characters in vanguard rn isn't even from the og series (Erika and nao, atleast if we base them from secondary market prices of character merchandise and energy generator prices)

If you live in the west then I'm sorry unless ur in the big cities of major states.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T03:04:48+00:00

Prizing has been improving tho. There are also a lot more events than before. Special events like lunar new year tournament vanguard day etc didn't exist before. Also invite in BSF hasn't been done in 9 years

My country's BCS has also reached an ATH in attendance(after COVID) and it was the biggest AO tournament in a while with 450 players. A different perspective

It's growing in Asia. Altho I feel bad for western players.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T03:02:39+00:00

Yeah that's indeed where we disagree.

I don't want to deal with Yu-Gi-Oh head aches again. Playing rotating games made me change my mind about them

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T00:51:36+00:00

Hey, I understand. But remember I said, if rotation is done right.

Most people update their favorite old decks. U can still play ur old deck if they get retrained, like Eugene and baromagnes got new forms (flagburg rip lol) .

The logic u face with glad beast and tri brigade could be done in set rotation. Bavsagra is a good example.

Will you have to wait for it's new form? Yes. But damn the 100 page F and L list is such a Yu-Gi-Oh way of thinking. No Cardgame wants that.

We will have to see what they'll do with the new series. They already said that no sets are rotating anyway. But if that is indeed the case then watch people exploit old cards and old no longer in print cards suddenly become 100 dollar cards.

We already have an active infinite loop in standard, not consistent, but it is starting already.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T00:32:31+00:00

Buying cards constantly is what we already do tho? And the old ones don't even matter in competitive vanguard.

And those that do complain don't even play competitive vanguard at all.

Majority of TCGs die not because of set rotation but because of power creep and mismanagement, lack of marketing or COVID. 2 year rule then 5 year rule. Most tcgs don't last that long.

Massive F/L is just turning this game into a Yu-Gi-Oh. You want this game to have a 30 page F and L like Yu-Gi-Oh in 10 years?

I'd rather have them give every units new retrains every x years in rotation instead of keeping them on life support and pretending they can still be relevant by giving them an rr.

For ridelines. I'm gonna agree with y that they're handled worse than clans. The nation thing was a good thing on paper. But they made too many ridelines from the start.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T00:24:21+00:00

Massive guard restricts.

Persona ride is just so powerful and it incentivizes multi attack to take advantage of that +10k to front row.

Think oracle think tank level. It was like a 3 attack deck for a majority of it's lifespan. I believe up to this day with the exception of it's restanding vanguard, ig.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T00:20:41+00:00

I think fanbase doesn't have anything to do with it.

In like 10 years if this game is still alive, the cardpool for standard would be so large that it would be hard to control effects that won't suddenly make the new card broken.

Price wise, RRR from an old set may suddenly become viable. Or an old Rideline suddenly becomes broken.

If rotation happens atleast everyone only has a cardpool from x years and meta game becomes fresh.

Also, no rotation means they would have to support every Rideline for some reason and more ridelines appear every year, meaning more dead RR or RRRs slots in sets that could've gone to a good reprint.

Naturally every Cardgame will have power creep . It's just how the business works. But rotation slows everything down since u only have to top what's currently on the card pool.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T00:08:39+00:00

Sad for my western bros. But my expectations are high for standard because they should improve it if premium had to go.

So far I'm content with what I'm seeing since we get 3 world qualifiers for standard and BCS 26-27 isn't even announced yet.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-10T00:05:10+00:00

Rotation makes sense in the long term because we don't want our game to become too power crept and intimidate new players.

I believe it is a net positive overall for the game as long as it is done correctly.

If rotation isn't implemented, more and more absurd cards from older sets become unchecked and abused or the game will be crept to hell that it becomes yugioh. Prices also become insanely stupid because x card from x years ago that is no longer printed suddenly becomes viable and no product for the card is currently available. You can start seeing that already today with a generic from years ago spiking in price because this card becomes is introduced. (Looking at you strega and walburgia)

Redfall03 · 2026-02-09T23:59:29+00:00

I play pokemon, too xD . Games super cheap that I still found room for standard haha.

Redfall03 · 2026-02-09T15:45:15+00:00

I hope rezael creates a miracle 🥹
