Cardfight Vanguard Deck Tech – Nightmare Dolls

Stand up! Vanguard!

It’s Serena and it’s time for that next V format article I promised! This time we’re covering Nightmare Dolls, part of the Pale Moon Circus. This is what players would know as a ‘tribal’ strategy, or a deck built around a specific subtype of unit. In this case, all Nightmare Dolls are ‘Workeroids’. These living dolls utilize the Imaginary Gift markers for ‘Accel’. Like Bermuda Triangle’s Force markers, these are generated when you ride a grade 3 with the Accel symbol. However, the effect of the Accel markers are unique. There are two types of Accel markers, Accel 1 and Accel 2. Both let you generate new front row rear-guard circles! Accel 1 also gives the unit placed on this new circle 10k power on your turn. Accel 2 only gives them 5k, but you get to draw a card. Now, on to the profile!
