Is this as shit as it reads?

HOLY SOULESS!

>no hand destruction
>highlander restriction on the retire cost
>multiattack demands going at least -1 on top of Cb1/Sb1
>only restands 1 rearguard
>restriction on what that rearguard can be
>turn 4/5 stride
>no gzone flip
Reminder that Chronoscommand was a non-targeted board spin that let you go +1 off of using the skill on Upstream into a G3 and a G1, and that's also considered lackluster. This has the exact same attack economy as Dragdriver but actually costs something and the retire will usually do jack shit because decks like Heartluru and Vyrgilla will recur everything you just popped.
To be fair, it does help with the Vyrgilla matchup since it lets you make a 6 attack kill turn work off of one Morfessa, since she's not a 1/turn, but that's it. One matchup albeit an important one. Dragdriver can make a 5 attack turn from scratch by toolboxing Morfessa.

>>97015244
That bad huh? I assume you wouldn't play any of the trash new G1 either

>>97015647
The new G1 WOULD be fairly useful, if the resist skill wasn't tied to a GB2 Ritual 5.

Resist would be pretty nice in the current format for early backrow commits that then feeds into retire costs, especially for the aforementioned Vyrgilla match, but unless Luard gets or has a strong Ritual rearguard that retires two other rearguards for an effect, Fuamnach is a vanilla until after your first stride at best at which point it's a booster for your G2s until you somehow wind up using Ogma.

>>97015995
Don't suppose you have a list for Luard post set 12 then?

Stride decks are being treated worse than dog by bushi

More anime news next week

>>97021593
we know

>>97018033
Messiah is still really good.

Luard deseeves the dog treatment anyway. It can be played like it was in Zero in D where you just CB starve and stall until the opponent decks out.

>>97018033
Every stride deck except for Nightrose and Harri did define the formats they appeared in, and all of them except for Harri are fine from what some people claim.

half of them got restrictions at one point or another, and unlike with Bavs it seems like Bushiroad somewhat knows how strong these decks wind up being.

>>97023088
Harri was better than nightrose but stoichea generic cardpool was way ahead of dark state

>>97023632
Is there more reasons to it or is it just because Chronojet's immense toolbox that Dark States will never have strong generics?

Realistically
Will this be Buddyfight's last huzzah? It's a cool thing to see the IP still being used, but being implemented into Vanguard is kind of.. not doing it service as it's own card game with it's own rules, world and series overall.

The nostalgia card has been used now, so.. what's next?

>>97025453
Buddyfight's still been getting releases and got it's own V format that also has a variant allowing for older cards, however this is exclusive to Thailand because they seem to really like Buddyfight. I think budget concerns/greed, aversion to adding shit to the banlist and the late V problem were what did buddyfight in for Bushiroad but it's still seeing apparent success with New Drive in a limited sector.

Enma Stealth Rogue, Mujinlord

Dragon Empire - Nubatama - <Demon>

"On a night roaring with immeasurable resentment, the cursed arts of Demon brought destruction."

(G units cannot be in the main deck)

[Stride]-Stride Step-COST [Choose 1 or more cards from hand with the sum of their grades being 3 or greater, and discard them], and [Stride] this card on your (VC) from face down. (When you stride, your original vanguard becomes a heart card, and this unit gets that card's [Power] and card name. At the end of the turn, return this unit face up)

[Dominate]-[ACT][VC][1/Turn][Generation Break 3]:COST [Counter Blast (1), Soul Blast (1), and discard a card from your hand], choose a number of any player's rear-guards up to the number of face up cards in your G Zone with the same name as this unit, and they get [Power]+5000 until end of turn. Choose 1 of your opponent's rear-guards, [Stand] and dominate it, it attacks your opponent's other unit, and until end of battle, that unit's drive becomes 1, you perform drive checks, and at the end of that battle, retire that unit.

>>97025918
Magnus needs to see limit break and have a specific rearguard to get the same number of drive checks as this.

That aside, this at least compares to Maguntenbu and isn't entirely worse than Mukuro since you can use the drive check when attacking their vanguard to help with closing out games. way better than ogma.

>>97014144
This is incredibly boring, just a better Dragdriver Luard. But it IS pretty good though.

>>97025918
>Choose any number of any players rear guards

The implication that we might see rearguards that cause a Dominate attack disturbs me.

>>97026675
The main idea is that you buff your own guys with this while still getting 1 dominate swing into your opponent.
It's alright.

>>97026526
Dragdriver doesn't cost SB1, can grab Morfessa, doesn't potentially fuck up your board and has no practical conditions; I might be missing the on retire rearguards Luard has that makes the retire a boon that we haven't gotten in english. It's good against decks with no recursion and if your toolbox is fucked, so it patches a hole Luard has.
>>97026682
Or buff the dominated unit, like how Dominate is supposed to work, but due to D Shiranui's abundance of multiattackers you always buff them for more value.

I'm not sure if I'd like Bastion to get a Fantome retrain. Unless it's Dark States in pretty much name only and they just make him look like a Revenger or Claret Sword
