Great video, I been looking for a vanguard KZbin to make a video like that for a long time.

Hey ya! Avid Bastion main over here, couple of things to note here. Bastion was a real pain in the neck for many due its incredible support right from the frickin starter deck. He was dominating the tournaments at the start of the new format and its place at the top of the tier list didn't really change until BT06, but from the start many cards contributed to that high usage and topping rate, cards like: ● Rafluke, incredible card that lets you commit to overboard and incredible for the Seraph match. ● Fossado, the knight, the myth, the legend and for the longest time the only way to set up CC in the deck, also amaizing for its resist to counter, once again Seraph, but later on Gravidea and Flagburg. ● Solaria, a G3 that served for hand replenishment, when discarded during your turn CB1&SB1 to draw a card. ● Kokabiel & Embrace Dragon, defensive cards that helped Bastion survive ealry agro. ● Refuerzos & Prideful dragon, amaizing cards that exploited the Persona ride giving Bastion a full column stand and a rear with crit respectively. ● Pride to protect, a personal favorite, normal order that gives all G3 boost, mainly to skip the SB from Dark Strain. ● Blagar, another fantastic card that allows you to turn tha tables, with 1CB if you have 4 or less cards in hand he can call another G3 from the top 5 cards of the deck, very useful once Gandeeva showed up or to recover from other board wipes like Baromagnes. ● Sparare, helpful with early game to enable draws or have him in the backrow to make annoying numbers.

@@DRAPION54 thanks for the input. Yeah, I'll admit this script wasn't the greatest. Honestly wish I could've included the supports you mentioned. I really regret not including them. But video was getting too long and I was ambitious with it. Maybe in the future I'll remake this video. Thanks for the list and info, really appreciate it.

@@scarlightemperor3410 hey hey no worries, Bastion as a VG could be considered old, and some of the cards I listed were not seen in standard Bastion lists, ratios were (and still are) topics of debate. Its a bit harder to put toghether a roadmap of Bastion than Youthberk simply by beign older an thus having more especific support. And yes, most of the Bastion support from BT04 and onwards was somewhat irrelevant, its not even funny how Sapient Owl is the first promo for Bastion that its actually impactful, and the worst part is that it ain't that good to begin with, both of its effects are only when Bastion is the VG and only CCs once, its fantastic for Prime as it gets a powerful natural boost that restands but rather trivial for Accord since now you can only restand 1 card.

8:51 should have left this bit in the drafts

6:30 Alden’s still being run at 3-4 copies in the deck now. With the owl promo, you don’t need to worry about how much he costs as much. Outside of that, you covered the archetype very well. One thing I would like to see in future vids like this is maybe the inclusion of a couple of non-archetype cards that greatly supports a deck (Inlet Pulse in Magnolia for example). Thanks for covering my favorite deck in standard!

@@phillipr.9038 gotcha. Thanks for the feedback. Means alot.

[@godsman00]

Ey yo pog?!? Glad to see ya put yourself out there and try something new Scarlight! Especially cuz you're right, we haven't had something like this yet in Vanguard! Thinking about names, maybe "Rideline Reviews" for alliteration or "Cardfight Recalls" for a snazzy play on words? Regardless definitely looking forward to what else ya upload!

[@scarlightemperor3410]

Ayo, thanks man. Means alot. Next one is hopefully uploaded before DZ Season 2. Still got alot to do, but hopefully you enjoy it

[@godsman00]

Oh you're preaching to the choir there friend 😂. Btw if ya ever wanna Collab hit me up, might be fun to do one of these together!

I was kinda scared when bastion was going through its phase and had no defense options work but bushi made my boy perfect with his final form

[@NguyenNguyen-py4lj]

wait if alden is less used in bastion now, what would be the build now?

[@scarlightemperor3410]

@@NguyenNguyen-py4lj you'd still run 2-3 of him, or try to max out at 4. And then just the good stuff. Grandeur, Owl, Sajess, or Skyrizen and Form up(up to what works for you.)

[@NguyenNguyen-py4lj]

@@scarlightemperor3410 I feel like sajess doesn't work very well with Bastion. Sure he is useful but maybe a 1 of max but he is easily replaceable with other cards like regulastar dragon or Sparare

[@scarlightemperor3410]

@@NguyenNguyen-py4lj hm, yeah. I can understand that. I run 2 personally due to the scry effect
