I think it would have been so much better to print the actual cards with actual effects (they really are not that complex) and add a line on the rulebook : "Feel free to play your first games without concern about the effects and progressively include them to get the full experience of Vanguard step by step !" or something catchy like this, kind of how they did with the Lianorn / Youthberk / Jeweled trial decks. Also, because it needs to be said, I wouldn't have cared half as much if the product was 5$ (which is what 700 yens is) but the English version is 20$ instead. This + the product being mendatory to play in Standard feels like huge cash grab.

The first three D trial decks had vanilla and non-vanilla copies (In power up pack) which is good. This is just a blatant scam making you buy a common set from the booster to have skill copies
@nmr72039 ай бұрын
I said this. Every game used to do this. Even Yugioh.
@tagschmidt12599 ай бұрын
Yugioh had power up packs; Which enhanced the deck itself and had cards that are not really in the deck (thus an actual sideboard or something. The cards look like good deck pieces) . Whilst VG had literal vanilla copies of the card and had the effect retrain on the power up pack (just a few new cards and that's it, oh and the foil and OT)

I've tried teaching the game to at least one person and they thought the game was complicated. I'm thinking about buying one for a friend if he wants to learn just to see if it helps. I'm not big on the vanillas & numbers, but it is cool that if you lay them out in a row, you can follow along the video and basically learn the deck. Also it lets them do 1 video without having to change them that much if at all for each nation. I'm on the fence between buying one and just getting a crest and counter, but I might scoop it for the new trigger art as well as the crest and counter lol

Okay I'll come clean. I've been pretty on the fence about getting into Vanguard since Overdress. More like I've just been procrastinating to take the plunge. Not that it did anything wrong, it was just... Different... Plus I figured I wouldn't have anyone to play with. But with something like this that doesn't have the effects, it's not really a plunge. It's more like just playing in shallow water. Players have to be able to mess around the effects so they can learn when and how to use them. But I guess that's exactly why it's built that way. Maybe these decks are literal Trial Decks to where you mess around with the very basics then if you want to continue to, let's face it, buy more Vanguard product, you can.

Quick question regarding some of the rulings in these new cards. For the new main Grade 3 vanguard, the skill: [ACT](VC)1/Turn:COST [Counter Blast (1)], search your deck for up to one card with the same card name as this unit, reveal it and put it into hand, shuffle the deck, and this unit gets [Power]+10000 until end of turn. If I’m not mistaken, I believe the cost is 1 CB, but do I actually have to physically be able to search and put 1 card with the same name into hand for the +10k power to resolve, or is it just 1 CB for the ability to search (regardless whether there’s another copy left in the deck, since the text says “up to 1”) and still +10k power anyway? Thanks in advance.
@phillipr.90388 ай бұрын
Based on the wording, you still get the 10k for the ACT skill regardless if you searched out a persona ride. If the skill was worded like “if you searched …., then give your VG 10k,” then you’d have to find a persona ride to give your VG the power.

What i like that they are very good for starting, those numbers dont annoy me and if they are effectless for the most part the decks are the decks are propably very balanced olthough very simple. I look forward to getting a few of those in english language and just using them as is... no local vanguard community so basically every game i get is a teaching Game. No effects helps with not overloading new players i think. Will def . Pick up the keter sanctuary and the Brandt gate one .. is Magallanica not that much supported? Trying to get back in after playing in the first 2 sets of Vanguard so most of my old collection of the Initial release, wich makes them now all premium cards And I liked the Granblue from back then.. so i was asking myself wether they are still actively supported in standard.

Idk why they force us to get the energy crest when most decks as of rn don’t use energy. The only ones that use it is the newer decks and u don’t even need to use the energy support cards in the deck. They just want us to buy this generic ass start deck cuz they know they fucked it up and knows no one wants to buy. What’s also funny is they gave us effect triggers but like not really cuz they have numbers. They then give us 1 effect trigger without a number random of 3 triggers so u have to buy 12 of these to get a play set of the effect trigger no? They could have just made the decks like the old ones with effects

He's bad but if you add cards that rely on persona riding like Tide line he can be a threat. Not to mention if you revive Prevailing Dragon and Nectar of sensationalism, its basically an infinite loop. (Prevailing basically destroys itself to get an order from drop after it attacks and Nectar gives +5k for each 5 cards in drop and +1 crit if 15 or more cards in drop). He is more of a early game guarding deck but yeah he is weak against heavy hitting multi attack decks.
