Cardfight Vanguard Deck Tech: Fortia and Friends!

By Serena L.

Stand Up! Vanguard!

Serena here again. And this time, I brought Friends! Today we’re exploring the new upgrades for Lyrical Monastario’s Fortia and her Friends. If you’re familiar with older formats of Vanguard, you are probably familiar with the Harmony deck. Friends are basically the updated version of Harmony. Most of our Units grant the “Friends” state when they have another unit in their column, and the ones that don’t all have powerful (but not ‘Powerful’) abilities! We will be calling the units that grant the ‘Friend’ status to themselves and their column-mates ‘Friend units’ for simplicity’s sake. The specific wording of the Friend ability is: “If you have another unit in the same column as this unit, that unit and this unit become “Friends”.

Cardfight Vanguard Deck Tech – Orfist

By Serena L.

Stand Up! Vanguard!

Serena here! It’s finally time to talk about the final Nation we have yet to discuss, Brandt Gate. It’s only taken me a little over a year to get through all 6! This time we’re covering Orfist, specifically a more budget take on the D Special Series 08: Stand Up Deckset “Orfist”. It was one of three preconstructed decks designed for more competitive play. Orfist is a deck that revolves around calling Shadow Army Tokens as well as the main gimmick of Brandt Gate, revolving around set orders. There are a few forms of Orfist himself, but this time we’re specifically covering Cardinal Dominus, Orfist Regis, as that is the main vanguard from the deck. In fact, most of the stuff in this is going to come from the precon. You can find the deck list from before the rules updates on the Deck Log.

Overview of the Cardfight Vanguard Rules Changes

By Serena L.

Stand Up! Vanguard!

Serena here! I was planning on finally writing about the last Nation I mentioned last time, but Bushiroad made some massive announcements for the Overdress/Standard/D format. I thought I should cover them, since they’re pretty impactful, not just to the Japanese side of things, but to the English side of the game as well.

Cardfight Vanguard Deck Tech – Minerva

By Serena L.

Stand Up! Vanguard!

It’s Serena! And this time I brought you a blast from the past: it’s time for a deck tech on one of the Encounter decks and fan favorite unit, Minerva. Like the Chronojet Stride Deck we’ve talked about previously, Minerva and her support cards are from older versions of Vanguard that were all given Overdress facelifts for the standard format. This deck centers around the Clans of older Cardfight Vanguard formats, specifically around the Clan Genesis. Genesis is one of the Clans that formed Keter Sanctuary but many of the cards specifically look for things with just Genesis as it’s Clan, so I’ll be referring to those as ‘Genesis units’. You can play any Keter Sanctuary card in a Overdress Genesis based deck like this, but they might complicate things if they aren’t also a Genesis unit.

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!
