CHRONOJET - A Comprehensive Guide for Standard

[@brent649]

Man thank you so much for this guide, 100% helpful to casual players and also to competitive players. Hope you do more of these!

[@shadowX50]

I just started in standard, so I was hoping to learn more about how the g zone works and how some of our cards interact with it. Otherwise, thank you for the pretty cool guide.

[@margaritovasquez920]

Card don't really interact with it unless it had a GB cost like upstream dragon

[@SimAbes]

"Most of the stuff you will need for the deck come from the Chronojet Deckset, available from your local game store" You're only half right :') Nice guide, I think I know which direction to move around the card ratios now, thank you :)

[@nkiran3541]

Thanks for your sharing, it's really helpful :3

[@kuramanomiko2003]

Thank you for the deck profile! My LGS had one of the Premium sets in stock so I bought one, and immediately thought of this video for ideas to upgrade it. Don't have Swirler or Gungnram (started with Set 5 so I missed out on both), but I did buy a Drajeweled Trial deck and a case of Set 8 so I guess I'm going with 2 Lings + 4 G1 Mikani combo until I get my hands on the Swirler reprint out of Set 9. I hadn't considered the difference between 4k effect crit vs 5k vanilla crit, so thanks for pointing that out because I was about to play the 4k effect crit because that's what you normally do with most decks.

[@TheDerickDao]

Amazing to hear! Glad it helped you out.

[@zero2pass]

Thanks for your posts. Much appreciated. I may not always agree with you. But it’s awesome to see your takes and compare notes. I heard you recently did a thing in Pokémon. Congrats!

[@mrmeow2297]

just came out in dear days

[@GitsuneG]

Here he come dat original chorno boi, back from 2014. Aw giltch wat sup!

[@CommanderJaime]

Solid video and guide! Keep up the great work! 💪

[@DivineLotusTCG]

Imagine my surprise when i come to watch your video and see you have the same Lucifer sleeves for your Chronojet deck as me 😮

[@pacer1705]

I am depressed to see Bushiroad hits Derick Dao's custom Chronojet which I trained so long and finally find success playing. What cards you will replace Swirler-Gigi in your video deck recipe, Derick?

[@mhkmyst14]

Great video!!

[@pacer1705]

When we Stride, do we choose the card (Faterider or Nextage) we need from G-units deck? Or we draw the top card from G-unit deck? When we use Faterider's skill, do we choose the card (Faterider or Nextage) to put face up on G-zone from the G-units deck? Or we can only draw the top card from G-unit deck?

[@TheDerickDao]

You choose what card to stride.

[@samueljustine8244]

Can you also do a guide for the Messiah deck?

[@ghostblot2518]

If I only have access to the stride deckset and 4 vanilla crits, do the combos in the video still apply? I’m mostly curious about how Magnetic Resonance (the doggo) will be used to maximise its value (the 5k)

[@pacer1705]

I played and lost all my games except for one with Chronojet. I am stumped when my Swirler, Upstream Dragon, goes into the soul when I SC or damage checked. What is the right timing to do SC correctly so I have better chance to draw Upstream and Swirler when I need it?

[@danytheomega3279]

Where can I get the Eula Playmat?👀

[@vgforever6686]

How do you fight Jet with Eden? When it comes to mirror using ur build Just go to g3’s better and possibky deny them?

[@No2hISwear]

i only have 2 swirlers but a bunch of gunguns, i assume i am good to just swap the ratios for now until the swirler reprint? awesome video btw, exactly what I needed:)

[@TheDerickDao]

Yup!

[@alanbruns6798]

Are you going to do a guide for youthberk that would be amazing

[@TheDerickDao]

I will consider 😄

[@jennadiah]

when should you be going into nextage? should it be a just keep going into it from 2nd stride onward or should you make your crest stronger by going into fate riders for your 2nd or 3rd stride?

[@jacobjensen7704]

Probably never 3rd stride considering Faterider flips itself.

[@StarForgedTCG]

@@jacobjensen7704 faterider flips any g unit. u flip nextage with it both times due to only playing 3-4 jet you can only go into nextage 2-3 times

[@TheDerickDao]

You have to gauge based on your opponent's game state. Sometimes it's better to Faterider into another Faterider to push for damage.

[@pacer1705]

I came across a JP locals team winner in Dec 2022. One team member played Prison and constantly beat Chronojet player in that tournament. How will you play Chronojet against Prison in Standard? Which units you are ok to be imprisoned and you willing to spend to free it constantly?

[@jacobjensen7704]

Probably the cards that get soul on place.

[@TheDerickDao]

Any units to be honest. Chronojet uses no counter blast so you can afford to spend it on bringing back your units.

[@danielgui7501]

Any tips after your gigi swirler turn? During your second turn what are your usual lines and plays?

[@TheDerickDao]

Just play normal Vanguard :)

[@geryfathurrachman5983]

Hi! I'm just wondering on why there is no falcate performer as one of the alternatives

[@TheDerickDao]

Falcate is one turn too slow because you need to soul charge during boosting which means you can only use that 1 soul charge on the following turn.

[@Ahmed-DB]

@@TheDerickDao Not really, Upstream tags into Gigi

[@zero2pass]

@@Ahmed-DB exactly! I recommend a pair.

[@tsubasa3073]

will there be a how to beat videos for the meta decks in the future btw? :3

[@TheDerickDao]

I will consider :)

[@tsubasa3073]

@@TheDerickDao oso thank you for your guides and deck profile it’s really good and really in depth :3

[@slare_4108]

Thoughts on Eden for the grade 2 game retire in the mirror?

[@TheDerickDao]

Definitely can be an option. The on-hit from Eden most likely won't go off if the other Jet player farms a solid hand. Still a good choice to experiment with since Eden is on-hit anything rather than on-hit Vanguard to get his effect off.

[@tylerthein1154]

Pretty new at this. Just got the deck and never played with Grade 4 cards. How do you play those? What is or how do you fate ride?

[@TheDerickDao]

Have a read of this: cardfight.fandom.com/wiki/Stride That will help you.

[@pacer1705]

The player who goes second gets to Stride in the same turn after he rides into Chronojet Dragon, correct? The player who goes first will need to wait for next turn, after his opponent ride into G3, to perform Stride.

[@TheDerickDao]

@@pacer1705 Correct, given that the person goes first rides to Grade 3 first.

[@Shadow298]

A very helpful video but is there a deck list online for it, since am not overly familiar with all of these recent cards (I haven't played seriously since the first Chronojet Dragon deck came out).

[@TheDerickDao]

Check out vg-paradox.com for lists

[@Paul909ification]

How would you say Flagburg is against Chronojet? Just try to rush perhaps really?

[@TheDerickDao]

You need to pressure early and capitalize on Jet's early game. The longer the game goes, the stronger Jet gets.

[@Paul909ification]

Can Amazement Magician also work as an alternative card?

[@muhammadharisarrahman153]

Hey I want to ask regarding Order PG, seeing that lots of top deck, Eva, Youthberk etc. Do order PG still essential in D format ? Or better use effect PG

[@TheDerickDao]

Order PG is essential because you are versing Chronojet. Having a PG that bypasses sentinel restrict is too good.

[@vgforever6686]

Effect pg and order pg You’ll most likely rarely find urself where you feel like Oh damn, wish I had eff pg instead of order pg because my hand is only 1 left If you know you went up against an archetype or deck that doesn’t need you to keep your elementaria Then always prioritise using your elementaria over your eff pg in that case But if you’re up against chronojet or g4 deck Then Elementaria will proves to be very useful

[@Ask_LyRc]

Thoughts on running Falcate Performer?

[@TheDerickDao]

Falcate is one turn slow and you don't need specific cards in soul. You need on-demand soul charging to utilise Gigi.

[@jacobjensen7704]

What do ya think of the grade 2 that soulcharges on attack?😊

[@TheDerickDao]

I think the card is one turn slow. Similar to the argument with Falcate Performer, you want a card that is on-demand soul charge.

[@StarForgedTCG]

@@TheDerickDao wait, how is it 1 turn slow if it is automatic?

[@TheDerickDao]

@Team TriggerSacker Vanguard It is on attack vs on place meaning you have to wait a turn to use Gigi.

[@StarForgedTCG]

@@TheDerickDao i think he means as well as swirlers and gungnram. Im seeing lots of tops in japan playing 1-2 of the g2 that soulcharges on attack. Im personally playing crimson igspeller instead of that g2 because it also has a soul effect

[@TheDerickDao]

@@StarForgedTCG Any of those options work - depends on the additional effect(s) that you want your deck to have in the 1/20 games you get into a niche situation.

[@pacer1705]

I am puzzled. Can we use the same outer sleeves as ride deck for Stride units and Crest? I would not to be penalised for wrongly sharing same type of sleeves for cards at official tournaments.

[@TheDerickDao]

Ride deck is to be different to Main Deck as well as G-Zone if I am not mistaken. Better to separate them just in case.

[@OlaAremu]

This is correct, Ride deck and G-Zone have to be different from the Main deck. (And different from each other)

[@govege5130]

​@Olaoluwa Aremu what about the crest? Also, are we able to use toploaders for our ride deck? The premium set came with some for our ride deck and even our crest card.

[@erikbong4403]

But can it beat Touken Ranbu? BEST DECK LETS GOOO

[@FaytTheXpert]

Love that You keep this extra shield guy. I kinda Like him too. Sad that all the grade 1 Soul Chargers Are so crazy pricey. Maybe You Can use steam artist pithana or term fracture dragon To get More Soul on a budgded

[@minhluong4138]

​@@FaytTheXpert try Crimson Igspeller or Amazement Magician. When they attack you can Soul charge 1. Crimson can even boost your anti-Sentinel Chronojet turns if put into your Soul as well, in case you've guarded till handless and can't stride

[@pacer1705]

Derick, I have urgent question on Steam Breath Dragon's skill. Am I allowed to perform ACT(Hand) skill to discard a card as cost for both my Ride up to higher grade and as cost to search up a Chronojet card to add to my hand in the same Ride phase?

[@shugaken2826]

Act can can only perform on main phase

[@tsubasa3073]

When you win the roll die would you choose to go first or second?

[@TOGCMelon]

When you win a die roll, you automatically go first. That's how my locals does it and I think it's part of the rules itself now. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@TheDerickDao]

First - you automatically go first if you win the dice roll.

[@tsubasa3073]

@@TheDerickDao OH i see i see here i tot we could pick haha xD out of curiosity for the metafy lessons right if let's say the deck i want to be playing isnt out yet but i wan to get the lessons to get better would tat be a thing too?

@@tsubasa3073 Absolutely!

[@jo-ri-oh8950]

Unlike Yu-Gi-Oh, when you win the Doce roll you automatically go first

[@yanmega49]

I don’t have any swirlers but have a playset of gungnram and been testing jewel core in the deck would I take out jewel core for Ling???

[@TheDerickDao]

Depends on when you want the soul charge

[@pacer1705]

I am aware Chronojet deck has nothing to recover cards from Drop zone. When we ride up from G0 to G1, G1 to G2, G2 to G3, which cards to we send to drop zone? I know Argandia is a great card in GC in place of triggers, yet I hope not to send all three triggers from riding G0 to G3.

[@zero2pass]

You can recover Chronojet from drop with Steam Breath.

[@voidslasher94]

most of generic g1 card in drajeweldis useable in this deck

[@antondovydaitis2261]

Go Ahead, Mikani is $36 and rising.

[@kensan6555]

If I have 4 Mikani and 4 Ling, what would be the best ratio for the 6 G1's?

[@TheDerickDao]

Depends on what you want. If you want the option to sometimes get a 2nd soul, then Mikani is better. If you want to compress your deck better, Ling is better. If you cannot decide, 3-3 is fine.

[@reysbak_]

Can you create mlb d standard deck profile?

[@TheDerickDao]

I will consider.

[@reysbak_]

Thank you. This guide though is very helpful.

[@infinityslayer5784]

does your opponent needs to be on g3 too before you can sride in standard??

Yes

Yeah mine isn't coming in anytime soon haha
