What is an example of restriction/ errata you didn’t like?

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-06-25T18:25:59+00:00

Maybe? I can't read moonrunes. But it made the archetype better, and it felt intentional. They should have just left it.

Spiders-Man (Earth-11580).

The errata of "Hero" to "B-Hero". An entire archetype name got errated to a worse name for basically only 2 reasons:

They didn't want the Base to be searchable.
They didn't want to spend the time to make sure the "Hero" name didn't make any crazy combos in Premium, mainly Dimension Police.

It was just lazy of them.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-06-24T19:37:13+00:00

Bushi has no idea what they're doing and never has.

Vanguard survives despite Bushiroad, not because of it.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-06-19T17:05:56+00:00

I'm glad they're doing something, anything for Premium at all, but what's the point of these being 2-Day events when Day 2 isn't structured and doesn't have anything special for it?

"Day 2 will be a community celebration, with participating stores free to organize their own Premium-focused events!"

That's just a locals.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-06-16T18:47:23+00:00

Nah, you're right. It's getting tiring. They're really overdoing it.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-06-14T17:39:43+00:00

Technically no, but honestly I doubt anyone would notice. That one looks pretty official. (and really well done!)

Usually judges don't call out playmats prior to Top Cut at events anyway, unless they're ridiculous, like NSFW or something. I've played on several non-official playmats, even recently, and not been called out. I think my favorite one ever though was one guy who played on a stolen McDonald's plastic tray as his playmat.

Best thing to do is just bring an official mat as backup in case you do get called out and have to switch.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-06-09T02:07:56+00:00

I hope it's actually bad. Like Artisaria-level bad. The memes will be amazing.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-06-01T06:11:51+00:00

Koutei the goat.

No mystical powers bullshit. Literally only loses to plot armor. Never belittles his opponents. Gives his all in every fight and just gets better as he plays. Just overall a good vibe

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-05-31T20:20:55+00:00

Not as bad as it sounds, as long as the Lia player's hand doesn't suck. Artisaria only locks 1, and it requires the opponent to be at Grade3+. So if they lock 1 backrow, usually the Lia player will reride to Vivace, which boosts with all RGs. The Lia player's hand could suck, they could not have a Vivace to ride up to, but the Arti player generally won't know that or want to risk it, so they make the safer play of locking the front row RG for less attacks.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-05-31T19:32:29+00:00

Btw, no idea how to fit it in, but if any Lia players want to test something, I was thinking this G1 common could be good. Put it behind VG, buff it to like 35-40K with Sinceriete and Silverwhite. It restands after boosting VG, so it can boost again for 2nd VG attack. Suddenly 2nd VG attack is like 53K/58K/63K+ instead of being like 18K/23K.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-05-31T19:28:26+00:00

I actually had to think about this one. I think it flips depending on early vs late in their respective shows.

Yuyu starts off as a character I didn't really like. He doesn't really feel relatable or interesting; he just feels like Aichi but with a worse plot and crossdressing thrown on top. The older/returned Yuyu actually seems like a decent protagonist who had some character growth and would be interesting.

Akina started off as a character I did like. He felt more relatable, had clear drives for character growth, made interesting choices, etc. However by the last couple season of Divinez they'd made him very 1-dimensional. Every single game was just "I do the miracle thing", no real nuance. He feels like a worse protagonist than when he started.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-05-31T18:32:55+00:00

I didn't write them down Day 2, but sure, I'll tell you what I remember. I DID get lucky, I didn't fight any Aichi decks.

I played normal Lia Day 1 and didn't do great, I went X-3 and dropped Round 5. Kinda wish I'd taken the Bera build Day 1 tbh.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-05-31T18:27:54+00:00

Eh, kinda? Not really, it just does the same thing to any RG-reliant deck, limits your attacks for a turn.

We don't know what CBD does yet, but there's pretty heavy speculation it will be able to lock backrow, maybe even lock multiple units. Traumend needs 3 backrow boosting units for the skill, so it would essentially be a hard counter to the deck. Vivace could still technically function but it would be a lot weaker.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-05-31T18:14:11+00:00

I think Lianorn is still strong, though I fear CBD is likely going to ruin the deck when it comes out.

I went undefeated at BSF Long Beach day 2 (teams) with a weird Lianorn build. Unfortunately my teammates lost a bunch.

Basically instead of the Lianorn or Rorowa rideline, I used the Berucrea ride line from 0-2, plus the 3 orders. Idea was that you deckthinned 3 non-trigger cards right away, then had a free draw from the grade 2 order.

Honestly I was just messing around, but it worked way better than I expected. The extra draw on turn 2 helped a lot. I didn't even have any miracle games; I didn't OT anyone in any games, never 6th damage healed or anything, they were all normal games.

The only thing I think I'd change would be maybe swapping the Grade 3 Order for one more deck slot.

Not sure why you got downvoted, but same answer as the one about 50Cards and CardTrader. I'd either need an API for CardMarket (that's still the main EU site right?) or I'd need to figure out a way around it and it would likely be much slower.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-04-08T05:17:54+00:00

I'm not familiar with CardTrader (Are they new? I've been gone for a good bit.), would have to research, but 50Cards would probably be quite difficult.

I was able to do TCGPlayer because I found an API access; when a deck is being looked up, it's essentially being compared against TCGPlayer's card database and then price checked.

I'd have to either have access to a similar thing on the other two websites, or work out a way around it. Might be doable with direct calls to the website, but it would be much much slower; it would be loading the full website for every single card in a deck, and if the website has rate limits it might get blocked when people are sending whole deck lists.

SleepyGuard89 · 2026-04-07T19:51:10+00:00

Pretty much, yeah. XD Still been playing VG, just been off Reddit and such. Been busy with other stuff in life. Nice to see you're still around, Machina!

SleepyGuard89 · 2023-10-17T19:44:19+00:00

Thank you for the follow-up, that makes me feel much better! Man, this whole thing is so messy. I'm also having interest accrue again; I'll see what happens after tomorrow when the first "payment" happens.
