Loving these how to beat videos, short, sweet and to the point. Definitely very informative and helpful :)

[@SolemnVanguard]

Glad you think so! Appreciated :D

[@imPOL_DESU]

"There's not a whole lot you can do." Great. What a way to set the tone, bruh. But srsly, I like these "How to Beat" series you have. Looking forward to more.

[@SolemnVanguard]

I mean... I don't want people to think "fuck yeah, now I can take my maelstrom deck and beat ZTB!!" :P

[@darkzion4692]

Loving your videos so far. Simple yet effective tips so the viewer doesn"t get confused. As well as what you can do on defense rather than just on your turn. I learned a lot from this video, thanks for uploading this.

[@SolemnVanguard]

Glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words :)

[@stevie7915]

I love the way you describe some of the cards “snake boy “ haha funny guy I just found your channel it’s soooo goood. Let the binge watchin commence

[@SolemnVanguard]

Hahah, thank you so much! Truly appreciated :) Hope you enjoy the rest of the channel ;D

[@pedrobautista203]

So fast If you keep this up I'll never have a question 👍 good work

[@SolemnVanguard]

Thank you! I will ;)

[@ibrahimel-nasra5085]

how to beat ziegenburg would be nice tbh. great vids dude!

[@SolemnVanguard]

Thank you! I'll put it on the list ;)

[@ibrahimel-nasra5085]

Solemn Vanguard I have a few ideas on how to beat ziegenburg myself but ik it's difficult for a lot of decks creating some really hard match ups. As for ur ztb video I play jet myself I'd say one really good strategy is keeping them at 2 damage and baiting out a potential sebreeze as it will eat their counter blast and jet gs on stride won't go off giving u time to counter attack. That's about it. (I however don't play sebreeze lmao)

[@arezeus5289]

Call full field that about it

[@Madcap_Tech]

As a ZTB player, I can say you are 100% right about hitting cruising dragon. Makes me cry.

[@windwaker0rules]

oh i just thought of a tip, when avenir reveals 5 normal units guard at least a 2 pass because triggers are very likely because it does not shuffle.

[@theflash-qc6ie]

finally a video that can actually help ,not some troll video describing the way to beat GC is to flip the table or crit them to dead................

[@danreddits3796]

I lost it when he said "Spoiler Alert: Theres not much you can do" hahahaha

[@SolemnVanguard]

:D

[@kaiden2able]

Can you do a how to beat landrose?

[@dumdum9853]

Is that why deletors work quite well against ZTB

[@brianeverson2528]

Great video you should do battle sisters next!

[@SolemnVanguard]

I might!

[@SolemnVanguard]

Just did :D There you are: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6fHcqaejMR1rrs :D Please consider subscribing. I do my best to pump these videos out ASAP when people ask for them, so really appreciate some subs/comments/likes back ^^

[@BudgetBuildingNetwork]

Can you do how to beat ange

[@michaelandrew7440]

My first stride is always that Split Pegasus in my ZTB deck. Every time my Dran gets nuked, I will be forced to use Avenir Phoenix as a first stride.

[@Ha1cyon00]

Im just going Deletors, I dont care how bad the match up is, thats my favourite deck

[@yun7053]

Can u make how to beat vanquisher

[@josephyeo4857]

Can do a how to beat vanquisher pls

[@Pikachufan-hz4xb]

This video pretty much says: “Aichi Sendou’s play style & his avatar Blaster Blade manhandles, eats Chrono’s ZTB for breakfast, lunch & dinner & makes them his bitch as he hits all but one of the bullet points”

[@Dunker401]

It’s funny in testing decks like ZTB have the HARDEST time trying to deal with my gurguit decks new gurguit Helios constantly forcing them to waste important grade 0s when they are close to dieing while I plus like a bitch just completely murders them and I love that beautiful bastard for it

[@xeraphios8807]

Hello! I have some Strats on how to beating BatSis. I Use Battle Sister, and have fought against them :3

[@cardfightcapital6988]

You should make a how to be Messiah video

[@haydenk6304]

Does Gear Next combo with Mystery Freeze on your gear groovy stride?

[@haydenk6304]

Rip when you forget to read the ability thoroughly

[@captingamer29]

Getting Rid of Chrono Dran is huge. If you can get first stride and get rid of it or do that before first stride you are ahead. Their first stride is commonly Split pegasus. They time leap dran into Jet G and Transit or the unflipping grade 1. Then they breakdown Jet G into Cruising and Spearhead Unicorn. That one chroo dran got them a full column and another grade 2 as well. Cruising and Transit will both draw 2 and Spearhead will allow multi attacking. It can be a pretty strong first stride. Do note this turn takes 3cb for everything if they go for transit so if you are afraid of this limit their damage. Now they can do the turn with 2 cb thanks to the unflipping grade 1. However if they use this, due to this grade 1's effect, they will lose a booster. This at least doesn't allow them to draw as much. It is a lot like Nightrose or Altmile in the fact that the more damage you give them the more they can do to you , especially first stride.

[@SolemnVanguard]

Exactly, but I put it in an uhh... shorter version: nuke chrono dran ;P

[@nathanyoung4182]

very true dran makes the deck so consistent

[@ahmes004]

Solemn do a how to beat vanquisher

[@Mr3vilboss]

Can i stall With gavrail?

[@nutellasticks5629]

How to beat thavas plz!

[@soraphiroth87]

What about Rewind Tiger and Duplex for early game and field control?

[@willhelm94]

Alain Chen Duplex is often a one-of in the deck, you can time leap your Chrono Dran into Chronojet then use Split Pegasus to drop it down into Duplex. As for Rewind Tiger, it's an 8k base so it's terrible to ride, and while it gets you a card in hand Cruising Dragon does it better. Also Cruising Dragon can be used multiple times, whereas Rewind Tiger is only on call. Finally, Rewind's bind skill can be detrimental if it binds something useful like a heal or a PG, so it's best not to take that risk. Yes you could argue that you use Huang Long so add any bound card to hand but a) that card is a waste of precious space in the G zone for what it does, and b) the pg can bind itself and your heals anyways so they'll be in the bind zone ready for Huang Long plays. So basically, Duplex is useful, and Rewind Tiger is outclassed in Chronojet ZTB by Cruising, especially since the deck doesn't have an early game strategy unlike decks like Demiurge

[@nathanyoung4182]

Manyhobbiesman you forgot rewind tiget is non gb i wouldnt play less than four

[@willhelm94]

Nathan Young I did say the deck doesn't have an early game strategy. The fact that Rewind Tiger isn't GB restricted makes absolutely no difference in Chronojet ZTB because Chronojet ZTB will 100% of the time aim to get to GB, therefore making your Rewind Tiger replacements better. On the other hand, I explained in my previous comment exactly why Rewind Tiger's skill is very detrimental to the deck - because it can take key cards out of the game that you didn't want removed. Lastly, you might say that you'd want to run 4 Rewind Tiger in a pre-GBT12 deck. First of all, there's only a week till GBT12 comes out so wait for it. Secondly, even if you didn't have access to Unicorn you'd still run copies of Manish and Chronospin serpent instead of Tiger for their abilities that make them strong against control decks and rush decks respectively So if you want to run Rewind then go ahead, but there will come a time when you bind an Arka or heal off the top of your deck and it'll come back to bite you when you need it most

[@llawliet4077]

Make a video of how to counter luards plssss

[@SolemnVanguard]

Definitely!

[@justinjohnson2137]

Use kagerou and Narukami?

[@mgk5856]

Maybe a "how to beat nightrose granblue" would be nice.

[@SolemnVanguard]

Sure :)

[@mgk5856]

Solemn Vanguard thanks,I really like your videos. Good job :)

[@SolemnVanguard]

Thank you! :D

[@hyoroemonmeto6874]

Yugioh are done with Zoodiac using banlist. Don't tell me you still struggle?

[@wil2289]

Make a new deck about this updated.

[@clydejudeunabia6882]

how to kill nightrose please. huhuhu

[@KaibaKid_]

How to beat Scharoht.

[@DragonAlchemist0]

NUKE HIM! NUKE HIM!.

[@SolemnVanguard]

YES

[@DragonAlchemist0]

I am gonna spit out how too stupid ztb is. While a opponent only he started literally with 1 damage guarding all the way to stride turn. And thank to a little luck and the new support he netted so much advantage that on his first stride he more than enough cards to loop heals back with ululu guard and still make full board swarm and take me to 5 (playing garmore) i see there some stuff ztb will have to take bann hammer too. But doubt deity of still water will get banned.

[@ahmes004]

Also you forgot the rewind tiger

[@SolemnVanguard]

I did not. Rewind tiger was replaced the second GBT12 came out.

[@ahmes004]

I see, but ppl at my locals still play it. How can I counter it?

[@SolemnVanguard]

It's just not a good card? :p Why are you worried?

[@ahmes004]

First, I’m not worried. It’s just that a fellow utuber of mine, who players ZTB, uses that card heavily and that, combined with the rest of the cards u mentioned, always causes me to lose(when I play kouen). Secondly, I would love to do a collab with u in the future! Is that possible?

[@SSJShy]

Solemn Vanguard Rewind tiger is still used in many ztb decks as it can counter rush in the g2 phase of the game chronospin serpent is a nice 10k beat stick but rewind helps deck thin draw a card and becomes a 10k himself if you wondering what's his use after that he can be used to intercept or used for slipt skill to call 2 transit dragons

[@vinztv6632]

solem vanguard please make how to beat luard

[@SolemnVanguard]

Sure!

[@zikrihakim6455]

yes. how to beat this damn turtle.

[@vinztv6632]

thanks!!

[@junnnx2]

Blasters

[@Pikachufan-hz4xb]

Stand up, my avatar! I ride Blaster Blade!

[@willhelm94]

Why do ZTB players even use Gear Groovy anymore? No lists I've seen run Huang Long anymore, so there's almost no advantage there. No-one runs the GB8 so you don't need his ability to accelerate the G flip. Without those benefits, Gearnext is clearly the better card, so why not just max out on Gear Next and run more Avenir Phoenix for when you need it? If you have extra space in the G zone, run 2 Chronoscommand revolution for the instant win against combo piece decks like Kagero and Genesis

[@nathanyoung4182]

Manyhobbiesman you play gear groovy because unlike gearnext groovy gives more power boost to ztb because of chronojet g

[@willhelm94]

Nathan Young good point, I suppose at the very least you'll have 5 face up so that's a global +2k for RG, not too bad

[@zikrihakim6455]

Power from Jet G GB2 is too good to ignore. Revolution is too costly for juz a field wipe, not worth it to waste 1 stride turn that u can gain more advantage with other strides. If you want a lil bit of control, playing duplex dragon should be enough

[@tariansledge]

Zikri Hakim Jet G doesn't have a gb2 fam

[@zikrihakim6455]

oh, forgot. its actually the (cont) skill.

[@michaelrutherford4697]
