>Has trouble even crossing 43k power>Only does 2 drive checks>cannot draw more than once when an unlock happens(CBD is also SB name locked to Starvaders)>Cant force a rearguard call>Additional locks outside of CBDs only last until the end of the opponents turn so no more Triangle Lock at allReally, all he is going to do is just piss off pet decks and not change the meta.
Star-vader, Infinite Zero DragonBrandt Gate - Link Joker - <Cyber Dragon>"It is said that the dragon who reached the extreme from the beginning of all things manifested the infinite zero." [CONT]:If you have a vanguard with "Star-vader" in its card name, this card gets "Intercept", all of the following, and [Shield]+10000.- [AUTO]:If your damage zone has 4 or more cards or you persona rode this turn, this cost can be paid with "Soul Blast (2)", and if you do, when you would choose rear-guards with this ability, choose up to 2 rear-guards instead of 1. When this unit is placed on (RC), COST [Soul Blast (1)], choose 1 of your opponent's rear-guards, and lock it. At the end of that turn, unlock the cards locked by this ability.- [AUTO][RC]:When this unit attacks, if your opponent has 1 or more locked cards, this unit gets [Power]+5000 until end of that battle.

>>98185235It has a good MU into Aicon and Yakuza so it'll probably be fine.3-0d it in testing with Wirbel though so it's clearly not that good if you have any mirage.
>>98186335How the hell does Yakuza struggle with restanding vanguard+restanding rearguard+backrow attacker on top of all of the shield value.That's the full suite of lock counters that don't outright remove locks and the defense to hold up against control.
>>98186348No mirage means Chaos gets to turn on the extra draw/power effects from doing a double lock instead of coping with 1 lock for the turn.But maybe I should test the MU more
>>98186379It's not that CBD gets conventionally hard countered like against BelFiore or ironically Orfist, but Yakuza has every tool to handle this matchup whereas Deeplands and Aichicon will struggle in their current builds. Same with Rewinder who has restands out the ass and a backrow attacker and wasn't too badly hit.CBD gets to play the game, but it doesn't seem to be favored.
>>98186348Doesn't Yakuza need their cards in specific circles for things like the backrow attacker? I imagine Chaos just locking at least one of them to prevent something has to help it's viability?
>>98187192If you lock the backrow attacker, they have their front row restanding rearguard. Vice versa on top of having the restanding vanguard.Having a Heartluru problem would make it a bit awkward and it will start choking if it doesn't see the pieces, but being a vanguard restand deck alone automatically makes you pretty resilient to CBD, on top of having the tankiness.
artisaria bros did we get mogged?'
I'm starting to think CBD is bad...I've only lost to it in playtesting where it healed 3 times.Feels like it just folds to the 3 attacks decks do make under lock.
>>98187968Aside from that SEC arguably giving Artisaria's DSR a run for its money, Artisaria actually does pretty well into CBD due to having tokens, and both funnily even have similar front row +5k and vanguard crit skills accessed by turn 4, so it's almost a mirror match.>>98188050Ironic considering what the anime had to say on 3 attack vs lock.CBD doesn't have a Bavsargra level support backlog or advantage generation to brute force decks that can handle the control, just enough to where it's attack economy grinds out the opponent's.
>>98187236>If you lock the backrow attacker, they have their front row restanding rearguardAren't both cards, the one that lets the backrow attack and the restanding rearguard, required to be on Front Left RC? So if you lock that down with Chaos without retiring it, shouldn't Yakuza's offence be more reasonable?
>>98189121Actually fully reading into the Yakuza cards, that is indeed the case and the deck is stuck with three attacks against either lock deck.Still would say it fares by far better than Aichicon and even Deeplands due to the more threatening center line and tankiness.
>The most interesting Cardfight is offscreenwhat did DivineZ mean by this
>>98190786Thats not danji fantome vs michiru
Manifesting a Crit 2 attacker and a combine rusher for Favrneel tonight.
After seeing Chaos Breaker get absolutely tossed by Chrono Icon even despite it checking the Brandt OT with a full frontrow im downright convinced it definitely isnt worth anything. In future support they definitely need to give it hand locks and then it will accomplish things and be scary.
>>98191252>Playtest against it non-stop>Has won a grand total of 5 games out of the 15 or so test matches>Most of the playtesting was with Wirbel Konig who has a grand total of 2 cards that can mirage themselves, other games were on Youth Fantome and fucking Almajestars(which it lost one game against)Deck kind of feels carried by handchecking with glory maker on turn 4 ngl. Maybe I'm just playing it wrong but the Varpula clone not having a draw on it makes you -1 for the restand in a deck that has 2 cards that actually plus you other than the drop zone revives. One of which competes pretty hard with Infinite Zero for energy and the other competes with CBD for soul.It's probably a good thing the deck is mid since the alternatives are worse but I'm shocked that the deck ended up being this frail after having a solid looking reveal season.Desperately needs a card that can force call a lock card from drop to a zone the opponent chooses to not scoop to mirage and turn on the effects reliably. Can even unlock end of turn so you can draw 1 before your pass to your opponent.
Not every deck needs to be broken
>>98191249Fav ate good regardless, got upgrades for his bros Hrodis and Eligos>rideline is G1 rides up for SB1 that also has +1 grade in soul, G2 when Favrneel is ridden souls a hand card to draw 2; perfect for the deck>G2 that's a Shenryi styled 15k beatstick which can soul at the end of battle to draw a card if you're on Favrneel, and has the obligatory hard once per turn bind from soul to be a 10k shield if you have the magic 13 grades or more but only against rearguards>Eligos' retrain, G3 and all skills locked to having Favrneel, from soul can bind itself on hard once per turn to call any G3 or less from the drop, and if you have the magic 13 or more grades, when it attacks as a RG, it makes itself and Favrneel 18k base for the turn, before souling itself to retire an opponent's rearguard and counter-charging 1Special mention to an earlier reveal, but possibly the most crucial support: Hrodis' retrain that is a G2 that souls itself when discarded during ride phase, can bind itself in soul during main phase to either Persona Ride without further cost if you did not ride or Persona Ride that turn already, or very notably, LETS YOU POP OFF RHEINGOLD GOING SECOND as the first ability option, throwing the statement Avidity made a year ago about Rheingold's speed out the window.
>>98192147The support was insane.Weirdly enough I think the R has the biggest impact but the G2 RR is exactly what I wanted out of the deck, a Shenryi that can guard from soul.New G3 is also very good, it's basically a combine rusher.Can't wait to brew it.Shame I'll probably have to cut squalid freaks. The double freak highroll is awesome.
