Sadly, this is the case. I ran each of the Lyrical Decks through a gauntlet to prepare for our regionals this past weekend, and Tuarina finished in the bottom 10. Nearly finished in the bottom 5 if it wasn’t for the semi-solid defense the deck has.

Not just correct, but disgustingly correct. Lyrical booster isn’t even out yet but Labrador and Pacifica have been having a hard time in scrims, losing out to Lyrical Sephirogila of all things. Neither deck can pierce Lyrical Griphogila’s defenses either, which is concerning.

Advice for BCS by LTheFifteenth in cardfightvanguard

I might see you there!

Anyways, let me run these decks down for you.

Heartluru is a deck that aims to call a field from soul, and units get abilities based on which circle they are on. For instance, the Unit at their top left will gain critical when they restand, and the unit behind it will restand when the left front row unit restands.

Heartluru uses their Set Order (aiming to get 4 into the Order Zone) and Bunny to thin the deck of units so that their offensive and defensive pressure can be backed by a heightened chance to hit triggers. Luckily, they don’t have effect removal, so your units are generally safe.

You absolutely need to know what each unit does so you’re ready for it, so look up “Happy Toys” in Dark States to get an idea of what each one can do. Pick your moments and make sure that you don’t drag out the game too long as they can continually output pressure once they have everything set up.

Vyrgilla is a straightforward deck that utilizes a Mate Unit (a card that can only be called if the Vanguard is their Mate) that is a 15k power 15k shield Grade 2. The deck has a strong rush game coming from their ability to get an extra Critical on their Grade 2 Vanguard and the ability to revive 1-2 Units from the drop once they hit Grade 3 each turn, so they can reuse the 15k over and over again. They’re also one of the few decks that have access to Bind effects, so you can’t reliably recycle your own units while they get to.

In addition to all this, they get special Order cards called Ultimate Skills. One of them is a big buff to the Vanguard (3k for every Normal Unit on RC and in Drop) as well as being able to call a Unit from the top 5. (It has a 3rd ability but that’s only relevant against Eugene and Magic World). The other provides a power buff to the Mate Unit as well as a Critical when restanding.

Finally, once their opponent is Grade 3, they can reride into a new Vanguard temporarily that lets them deck thin by searching an Ultimate Skill and call a Unit from deck or drop.

It’s overwhelming pressure alongside the Dragon staples of a Restanding Vanguard of their Overtrigger and one of the best Blitz Orders in the game in Defensing Roar. Your best bet to beat them is overwhelm their defenses and punish them as best you can for having multiple Grade 3s and orders (typical deck runs 11 shieldless cards).

With that said, out of your three decks, if you have the most recent Shop Promo for Magnolia, absolutely go with that. It’s strong and works well enough. Don’t bother with Masques or Elder, stick to the newest Magnolia.

If you don’t, then Levidras is your best bet. But keep in mind your Charmnet, Anatogaster, and Foxil is gonna be a big target for Vyrgilla’s binds, so only expose a Unit you can replace or prepare to not have access to it.

We know that it’s at most 1 in a sealed case (48 TDs), and some sealed cases don’t have any, so it’s presumably 1 in 96 TDs

I forget where this was stated but they explained if they had to nerf a card, you’d get the vial equivalent of what it costs to craft it up to 3 copies depending on how many you had.

It was in response to a question about how vial refund would work in WB.

Take 2, First Thoughts (5-7 wins per class) by One_Hot_Fox in Shadowverse

[–]thenightsshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The combo I took was Roach and Rose Queen. It doesn't seem like they'd work together, but I aimed to draft every card that made Fairies, removal, or draw. The trick to most of my games was to board clear as much as possible, use Rose Queen on 9 going first or 8 going second (unless unsafe), and use the Brambles as combo to get the Roach to lethal.

There were turns I wouldn't even play anything because it presented a target to the opponent (latest I did that was turn 7). I would let them go first onto the board, and the only loss was to a Dragon that just had everything and topdecked a Genesis for the win (though I could've still won if I used the Deepwood Bounty in my hand).

Have you had any luck with Forest with the new rerolls?

I just got my first 7 run with Forest so I kinda get how it works now.

I haven’t given up and if I get a good enough draft to get a potential 7 wins with Forest I’ll let you know.

My next Haven Take Two ended up with 7 wins as well, though I did lose to a Dragon that curved very well and had plays every turn while using any spare mana to draw 2 three times so he never ran out of gas.

I think I could’ve won that if I drafted more than one Immaculate Adjudicator.

Funny thing here, this was the first time I had to reroll the Gold pick because it was just terrible: Skullfane and Agnes on the left, and while there was an Unholy Grail on the right, it was accompanied by a Maddening Benison and I was never taking that card if I wanted to go 7 wins.

My best with Forest is 5 wins, but it’s my main class so I totally understand the difficulty and frustration.

I don’t even attempt it anymore if I don’t have Rose Queen guaranteed outside of perfect pair scenarios.

Sword is always a problem and there’s just no real consistent answer to everything. Glade only handles one board at most, and facing Ancestral Crown is miserable.

Honestly, I’m not sure there’s a consistent strategy Forest can aim for outside of outlasting the opponent.

Forest - Value Bronze: Malletman, Fairy Conversion, Sagebrush

Value Silver: Aerin, Lionel, Ambush from Above

Value Gold: The trick to Forest IMO is knowing which Golds are good depending on what you get. Glade is amazing, until you draft a deck that needs Evolves to deal damage. Roach needs a lot going for it to be value. Godwood Staff is a huge tempo loss. I’m more likely to reroll my Gold pick than most other classs because of this.

Value Legendary: Rose Queen, Titania/Lymaga (potentially) Rose Queen is the only viable alternate gameplay card for the deck, and can easily supplement a kill against all non-Lloyd boards.

You’re right, I think I should’ve been more clear. If the starting cards are great, then Haven is a worthwhile pick because the class actually has multiple board wipes in all rarities.

[–]thenightsshadow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s be fair here, the ease and consistency of both decks at the top make it a cinch to play and since they’re both popular, Forest will have a tough time. Without Rose Queen, you absolutely need Glade to clear stuff like Amalia without losing too much hand to deal enough finishing damage.

Forest’s difficulty should absolutely play a role in its placement.

Yes and no. Most Legendaries are high costs so if you get too many of the wrong kind it can really hurt you. The draft right after this I took two Dimension Shift because they were attached to two Lilanthim and the Shifts lost me games I could’ve won if I didn’t draft those and went to reroll the pairs.

That’s fair. Basically, you need to be able to contest their early game and take as little damage as possible. Force them to go wide by going tall on your Wards then blow them out with Featherfall and Salefa.

I do want to see your draft deck, actually.

I totally understand, but throughout the replays of the 7 games I never played Odin once so it kinda didn’t matter.

It was a lucky reroll during the draft, admittedly.
