THE MOST INSANE PREMIUM MATCH EVER!!! Blasters Vs. Ezel | Nov. 2021 | Cardfight!! Vanguard

[@AkiraHime]

I’m really surprised by how many people seem to not know about Stride rules and Spear X. That was the whole gimmick of Ezel superior ride in Premium since a long time ago that you get to Stride while opponent is still on g2. It’s what made Ezel good especially when Wonder Ezel was still allowed… love the deck lots still. Always a pleasure to see.

[@jacobjensen7704]

I don't think it would have mattered in the end since it seems he had an extra 5K shield to throw down, but the final Blaster Blade attack was 43k, not 40k, Llew gives the called Blaster an extra 3k, which hits a magic number against grade 3 Vanguards so that an extra 5k is needed to guard. But he had enough to guard an extra 5k it seems, so it didn't end up mattering for this game.

[@navataru]

Editing for your games are top notch and some of the best! 10 stars! Love that you guys cut out useless shuffle time and added cards quickly for skill recap (in English) and thank you for posting some premium games!

[@NexusCorps]

Glad you enjoyed!

I'm getting back into Vanguard now and never been more confused with premium and v premium but I want to build a gurguit deck and fenrir deck. Any paladin deck is my favorite so going try to build MB also.

[@NexusCorps]

I recommend making a V series deck first, and then add a 16 card g zone to the V Series deck. That is essentially what most Premium decks are

[@jacobjensen7704]

If you want to get back into Vanguard, I actually recommend starting with Standard (as in D-series, Overdress). It is the most balanced format, cheapest to buy into, and easiest to pick up.

[@Jason-mg3fk]

@@jacobjensen7704 it’s certainly cheaper to get into but premium offers more complexity, I’d build a standard deck and then if you enjoy it build something in premium, v-premium hasn’t interested me since it was in standard

[@NexusCorps]

There's been a lot of comments about this so I'm going to refer people to this pinned comment: At 2:43 and 18:03 If you're wondering why you can stride while your opponent is at Grade 2 or if you think the cost for Spear-X wasn't paid when it was "supposed to be," Bushiroad changed the stride rules over three years ago. If you are on a grade 3 vanguard at the beginning of your turn, you may pay the normal cost of stride regardless of the grade of your opponent's vanguard. Please refer to this link: en.cf-vanguard.com/howto/v-series/ BEFORE Normal stride is only possible when both players’ vanguards are grade 3 or greater. AFTER Normal stride is only possible when both players’ vanguards are grade 3 or greater, or the turn player begins his or her turn with a grade 3 or greater vanguard. These new rules were implemented in April 2018 and have not been changed since.

[@Jason-mg3fk]

I think there was an error on the Ezel players turn, its not just any soulblast to superior ride Ezel, you have to soulblast the starter in particular and it looked like he soulblasted the grade 3 searcher. Loved the game and the editing btw

[@Jason-mg3fk]

wait im wrong, oops, he did soulblast the starter, he just put it under the card in the damage zone, nvm lol

Never played premium before (only started playing vanguard once overdress started) but after seeing that ultima turn in game 1 I’m kinda glad I didn’t. I could only imagine how fun it was when you were able to stack the over trigger with it

[@NexusCorps]

You should see the stuff Pale Moon and Granblue can do. They’re way more consistent than Ezel

[@haziqhamdan2643]

New premium rules,ultima and overtrigger cannot be included in the same deck.you need to choose either of one of it

[@Rinings]

I haven’t played premium since before V came out, did they change the rulings to stride? Cause I remember they specifically made the stride to get over people not riding to 3 just to stop striding lol

Yeah they changed the rulings

question can you use ultimate with over triggers because that seems kinda broken if u can

[@NexusCorps]

They just released a restriction list for October which says you can only pick one over the other. We have a video about the entire restriction list, I recommend taking a look at it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnSoXmZ-e9l8Z7s

[@gabrielfeldinger6533]

Mixed - The deck is pretty fun but it's just so bad compared to the current V meta that actually playing games against anything competent can be kind of frustrating

[@NexusCorps]

Gabe says that Neo Nectar peaked after V-EB03

[@HookLess]

There is misplay there in GP (game 1), he use SpearX skill without the cost of CB2 and calling two cards in RG. I think there is a rule that if your VG is G3 and was not placed during your turning phase, you can do normal stride.

[@NexusCorps]

You can still normal stride if ur on g3 at the beginning of your ride phase. They changed the stride rule 3 years ago.

[@HookLess]

@@NexusCorps oh thanks. But still, He use Spear X skill right? He didn't use the Cost which is he needed to call 2 units then CB 2 before stride.

[@NexusCorps]

@@HookLess pls refer to the pinned comment

[@shinreimyu]

Why not use crystaluster on the last turn? With the guard restrict you should have the win right? Or was I missing something?

[@NexusCorps]

You need 3 Grade 2s for the guard restrict and Richard only had 2 cards in his hand and no grade 2s on the field

[@shinreimyu]

@@NexusCorps Ok, I'm new to premium so I thought that it was just gb3 for the guard restrict

[@joshuagreen8995]

With that twin sword stride in last game, couldn't you have kept the paccgal in hand, and then superior called blaster javelin Larousse from deck so you could then superior call floral paladin night flogals for attack extensions with bb? Or were all of the flogals out of deck by then?

Since I'm here, can someone explain to me the way checking an Overtrigger works beyond the drive/damage check? I wanna know once and for all what I could be doing wrong

[@NexusCorps]

When the overtrigger is checked during the drive/damage check, give something 100mil power, draw a card, remove the trigger from the game When drive check, read the additional effect on the trigger and perform it When damage check, ignore the additional effect.

[@KinjiroTheThunder]

@@NexusCorps ok, so you DO remove it from the game after

[@NexusCorps]

Yes, exactly

[@kihyceparchment6249]

For percival opponent has to be on grade 3 I believe

[@Kingofknights1401]

No it's you have to be grade 3

[@NexusCorps]

Percival is "..if *your* vanguard is grade 3 or greater.." So once you ride Ezel, you're good to go.

[@gus6569]

If you are on grade 2 and ride percival you can do his effect after the ride phase?

[@NexusCorps]

Yup, its during the ride phase since his ability is on place (meaning you can still stride after you ride Percival and use the skill).

[@raizenf.ciffer4356]

is that a missplay..? ezel player stride while blaster still g2..? is the rule changed.?

[@NexusCorps]

Rule change about 3 years ago. Surprised with everyone asking this exact question when we’ve showcased Premium Ezel so much within the last 3 years. You can stride if you started the turn on a grade 3, to prevent people from trying to lock people out of their stride turn.

[@edb36mar]

I haven't like been able to get back into vanguard? Whats like the "Official" format now? Cause I lov d G before the opponent was literally able to kill you im 1 turn (seriously how does pale moon go from Okay to literally a otk deck no matter how much guard you have), I'm seeing premium but obviously combining G and standard is gonna be busted as hell and I don't wanna deal with that "If everythings op nothing is" and it comes down to who drew what very specific cards. Is standard tolerable?

[@NexusCorps]

The streamline or main focus Bushiroad is pushing right now is Overdress/D Series, which is currently known as "Standard" I wouldn't worry about the "If everything is OP, then nothing is" concern because Bushi recently made a huge banlist for Premium format and a lot of problematic decks were hit really hard, making more people interested in joining the format. Standard is tolerable (and really affordable), but incredibly boring in my personal opinion.

[@jacobjensen7704]

Standard is the most well-balanced format in Vanguard right now. It's got the lowest barrier to entry too and it's the cheapest. Set 3, which comes out in 2 weeks, is really going to spice up the metagame.
