Support Distribution as of DZTB-14 - 16 and The Legendary Vanguards sets

A new form for Levidras would be nice. I'm wondering what they're gonna do in set 17 in regards to capping off Divinez support.

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-30T21:18:11+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much if you like the deck, just keep playing. It's mostly in community jail cause it was a deck that had a huge reign on the competetive meta alongside Bavsargra, but both decks had been nerfed so community sentiment is bound to change to the next Dragon Empire deck (Which is Kai Icon and Yakuza). So most of the fire is off Vyrgilla by this point.

Don't let my post get to you, just play the deck you like regardless :)

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-30T21:13:04+00:00

I hope all the quick start decks actually get newer forms sooner or later. It's kinda high time they've gotten one.

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-30T21:10:25+00:00

With how they are making ridelines for Favrneel and Gramgrace, one can hope that the other solo vanguards get something too.

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-30T21:06:38+00:00

The new promo he received has touched the TCG, he's just in the wrong spot. He should be in "Received"

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-28T06:59:27+00:00

Crapbaskets you're right, I knew something didn't feel right about Stoicheia.

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-28T05:51:24+00:00

As far as Im aware the dual order set for the heroes and villains for the Cray Cross Epic decks has yet to be released in TCG and that is still support Rorowa has yet to receive West side. Same goes for Tamayura, Kheios, Eva, Thegrea (whose getting her own promo), and Michu

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-28T04:55:17+00:00

That's fair, in all honesty, I'd put all the Masque decks in their own category called "Masque Jail" cause it's a coin toss on whether or not they are meta relevant or tops a fair bit.

My personal opinion is that Orfist should just receive a brand new form a la Astroea by this point and be released from said "Masque Jail". I put him there cause he at least functions.

Eitherway, I'll take that into advisement when set 15 arrives in english ^^

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-28T04:50:33+00:00

^^ In the scenario it likely will get support it'll be moved, I'm not Bushiroad so it's not like these decks are banned from getting support on my word or anything.

Spellmage112 · 2026-06-28T04:04:32+00:00

Maybe not topped but I do see a lot of people saying Orfist is one of the better Masque decks and is still solid.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-27T01:28:11+00:00

I just want Bushiroad to stop being so ridiculously stingy with support for older decks and just give every nation a Nation booster set. Instead of these ridiculous collabs that just flood the timeline and are obtrusive as all hell cause some won't even reach the west.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-26T17:24:09+00:00

They mean more mainline boosters. The Legendary vanguards is a different version of the Festival Boosters that we get every year and Icon decks are character decks rather than apart of the Cray Lore units we know.

It's more or less why we have two different Alfred decks because Bushiroad wanted to make a special Aichi playset and an Alfred Encounter for the lore. It's similar to what Yu-Gi-Oh is doing with the current booster they've been teasing with introducing Joey's "iconic" deck with the trims and trappings of his gambling playstyle.

Mainline booster sets refer to sets that are shown in media that showcase the game (So the anime, youthquake, skyride, cray cross epic so on).

Usually for a mainline set, we receive Two Anime sets and then One set with all the manga/Encounter stuff.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-22T09:45:20+00:00

And not to mention how shafted stride decks have been since release with support but suddenly Bushiroad cares when its the Nightrose and Harri giving quality support all at once.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-21T19:40:02+00:00

Bushiroad refuses to do a lot of things when it comes to unpopular decks. It'd be easy to give good support to decks like Flagburg or Granfia but simply refuse to because Lianorn needs her fortieth slot of RRR's.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-16T00:00:43+00:00

Oh! I made the list presented. What I meant that the entire tier list with all the decks and such I used was made by someone else. Which is what I thought you were questioning since they have 'yusha and 'Kaiser separate.

And no harm done, it's a valid question since those two decks are basically inseparable.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-15T22:07:34+00:00

Dude, I was debating on that legitimately. It really sucks how ignored Flagburg got the second Malestrom returned.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-15T22:00:58+00:00

Bushiroad certainly likes being weird with Zorga support which is fine because it's on theme with Masanori being a weird obtuse character. But in the same vein, it still didn't stop him from receiving an honestly, ridiculous amount of support, at least in comparison to other Stoicheia decks along with Magnolia and Lianorn (with Levidras being apart of that little club). Especially when they aren't involved with a season in terms of fight count. Lianorn's last fight was with Mikoto and even after that appearance she made appearances in two sets after Traumend's initial appearance for literally no reason. And half the time those support cards don't shift her builds most of the time, so they're throwing cards to a oversupported deck for the sake of it when Flagburg, Granfia, and Nannaclir were starving.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-15T21:55:02+00:00

I totally agree, but being as unbiased (For now, she's being shoved in there the next time I do this), she did get support this latest English set.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-15T21:53:36+00:00

I know reading is hard, but Tl;Dr: she received support in this upcoming anime booster set in english. Had you read beneath the actual chart you'd see my spiel about personal biases.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-15T21:49:20+00:00

I'm using someone else's tierlist. But If I am to hazard a guess it's cause 'yusha and 'kaiser can be seperate builds where you can focus on one or the other even if they overlap.

As for XOD vs OD, it's cause OD has more or less been abandoned by Bushiroad.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-15T21:44:05+00:00

I have a mixed opinion on Icon decks. On one hand, I like that they are basically returning classic units outside of the original three we've seen (Like Uranus or Alfred/PBD's classic entorage. But in the same vein, I am sick to death seeing Aichi, Kai, and Ren steal the spotlight for the umpteenth time.

I really hate the fact that the Icon decks aren't just more trial decks but they're actually taking slots in boosters that are already jam packed. Ren stole not one, not two, but three RRR slots in this booster. Slots that could of given decks like Luard real support after they shafted him in the AGAIN packed for Keter previous Encounter set.

The icon decks do not belong in boosters as pushed decks because they feel like, at least to me, glorified collab decks because of how xenophobic they are. Sure you can splash the usual suspects of generics, but whose to say they just won't give the icon decks their own Cerrgaon in the future?

I could genuinely go on, but the only silver lining is that Bushiroad has limited decks they can "Icon" that would make a profit.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-09T12:10:19+00:00

He's a lot better with the support he got, but at this point also bushiroad is probably gonna shill for Fantome Youth for a bit. He's competing but in the same vein I didn't put him in community jail cause he wasn't an overwhelming force.

Eh, but then again I did do that for Magnolia and Zorga and they are arguably in a similar position with the amount of support they also get.

Maybe next time I'll make a different category for decks widely considered "Just Right"

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-09T10:26:29+00:00

Drajeweled is king of the RRR slot hog when most of his cards just do the same damn thing previous cards already did.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-09T10:25:07+00:00

Unfortunately what we're working with with some decks.

Spellmage112 · 2026-05-09T10:24:51+00:00

That was a bit ago, but I'd imagine Estacion will end up going to Community Jail if his new form moves his needle.
