The problem with Thegrea isn't speed, it's threat pressure. The deck needs to go second because her promo is the only one that requires the opponent to be on grade 3 to use but really that's not the biggest issue. The deck's real problem is how much draw advantage you get that you're decking out by your 6th turn. 30k power in all columns isn't much of a threat if the opponent can just take it because it only has 1 crit or that you can only do 4 attacks.

The battle siren which gives red text of increasing power from set 2 is good but it only can be used for one unit

Are you a blazblue player by any chance? i see your playing carl,s theme in the background

I saw the Dragon Empire overview and did not even hear Bavsagara listed as a deck that is unfortunately being outclassed. If it isn't outclassed, it is very much an endangered deck. Give the deck all of the fantastic cards, but at the end of the day, the deck really has a middling Vanguard and not much to show for what it was supposed to do. Sure, it gets a crit and has the quirk of orders on VC, but Varga does nuke the front row more effectively, and Gandeeva has a better handle on getting a crit to itself. All while being incorporated under the same nation. Another depressing deck is Nirvana. Despite getting amazing combo pieces, the deck feels a little off when I see my opponents run the deck. Sure, the cards stack to make giant rears, but the combos have a similar pace to The End. Even with the rework of the deck with XOverdress, there are better and more efficient 5 attack decks. Vermillion is also a name that was not named in the video, but on release, it got limited success. Unlike the others that I have listed, Vermillion could be fixed with cards that speed up the play and just needs to have a good card such as "The Blood" as listed in previous eras. The problem is that The Blood will then have the same issues as The End, but unlike The End, I actually do not see a path forward with this even with good help. At least with The End, you can potentially have The X be a true successor to the deck, as with previous iterations, whereas Vermillion becomes The Crimson, which is actually really unfortunate. With Keter Sanctuary, the biggest elephant in the room is Thegrea, but there's so much more underlying issues with decks that need work. Minerva is a prime example of a deck that has so many unresolved issues. First is the deck speed. Just like with the End, you really are pressed on deck tempo and speed. Secondly, the discard restriction makes the deck highly unwieldy. The simplest solution is to create a rear guard that becomes a substitute for Minerva's cost. The End has Halbe which is a substitute card for the deck and while this is a temporary solution, it's better than none. Ultimately, it needs more speed than it currently has or threaten better than with Youthberk, which it neither has nor does the playstyle accommodates. I can try and pray for the deck to get a guard restrict like CEO Yggdrasil though, but that's just cope. Ezel is another deck that could use a boost as well. Platina and Scissors are possible future forms, but this deck really lacks a lot of depth when compared to other multi-attack decks. Unfortunately, Ezel is outclassed by Tamayura and MyGo, both who deal with 5 attacks and either hit faster, harder, or both. For Brandt Gate, I can see that Edleglema is the one who is cooked since there's no easy way to actually set the current requirement of 5 different orders in the order zone. All that for a mediocre skill that even Avantgarda could do better. As much as I hate Gravadia, at least there was a time in which the deck was able to work. This deck just will not work even with all of the good stuff. Arkhite just is the better monster support. That said, Avantgarda, Silhouette, and Rotovisor have not been known to be topping much in events. For Dark States, Bruce has so many issues that need to be resolved. The card support is great, but pretty much every deck that could swing like Bruce does it better. Lianorn is in a far better position to either 5 attack or 6 attack and hit just as hard. Evil Eye also has not been putting in results despite having decent abilities on some of the cards. The deck pacing is last year, much to my chagrin. And finally Stoichea has Granfia, the first named middle child of the nation. It has the ability to get more tokens, but there's something off about the deck. It has power, but only 4 attacks. The deck speed is unfortunately not that great, but when it gets set up, it only really has power to pull the deck through. And then we have Mythiarq. Honestly, I just have never faced the deck enough if at all to provide knowledge. It's nothing to do with the power level or the card skills, but more to do with the player base. It might not be bad deck, but it is certainly cooked in the player sense. I withheld myself from discussing LM, but I'd expect LM to be in an interesting place because of the upcoming set coming in soon.

Bavsgrava is waaayyyyyy worse than Overlord. Like its not even close.

Is it really true as you say that "There is no deck in Standard Vanguard that is bad"?

Hey prime I just gotta say thank you for making this video it gave me a lot to consider and I like your channel and I hope it continues to do well also this is just a question I've been wondering which would you say is better time stamping dragon or oselargest once it gets its support

im suprised you did not included tamayura, cause I feel like its in the same boat as Theagrea, where the support is good but its a little to slow for the current meta

magnolia is great.... unless you are maskes, trying to put dragontree tokens is too unreliable

Only decent eugene is literally soul rush but theres no good generic DE SC and no way to reliably put clifton back into the game so you are forced to play on a real dumbass timer.

Invest in your content....and in your image

maelstrom and flagburg in my opinion needs support that boost power

👏👏👏

I've noticed everyone, wanted me to talk about Lyrical Monasterio. Lyrical Monasterio, is getting a new wave of strong support in set 4-5, and their own Lyrical set again, later this year. In this video I was originally going to discuss FELTYROSA and PETRALKA, as the cooked decks from Lyrical. I'm not sure how they'll play with their new support and what that’ll do for their performance

I have a headcanon that there's some intern at Bushi who smokes too much weed and is the only one allowed to design Flagburg cards and he has a serious fetish with slapping soulblast costs into the deck that is famous for running out of soul extremely quick. Seriously bruh what the hell was the RRR from ZDBT02 -_- Flagburg needs an entire do over from scratch, at bare minimum give him a new ride line that doesn't burn your entire soul in one turn because right now Flaggy has to run the Rorowa line despite having zero synergy with it.

The thing with Thegrea is that it wants to go 2nd to immediately gain access to the new Thegrea by using the G1 promo. So the deck being slow has been fixed there. Problem is, if you don't see the promo, the deck is slow again, on top of you having said you were going to go 2nd, which makes it even slower. You also cannot make use of Teithfault for turn 2 rush because Thegrea doesn't use normal orders. Replacements can be found in Cairbre or Valtrossa. However, they use CB, which is a scarce resource for the deck early on. This hurts the deck's turn 2 rush game, which Keter decks really rely on to win through a mixture of resource and aggression. As for Maelstrom, the first thing I need them to do is make a new Maelstrom that gives 10k to the front row turn 3 without any going 2nd restrictions or any "have Maelstrom in soul" restriction. After that, give new Maelstrom the old Maelstrom superior call effect, except call from soul OR drop. Calling strictly from soul makes no sense when you're not going to expand on the idea with other RGs. This is not Pale Moon. From there, it's pretty much freestyling and mixing up various older Maelstrom guard restrictions and effects. Assuming we only get a new form, an example would be to make it so if you have 1 or more Armada orders, you get to rip a card out of your opponent's hand, draw 1, and retire 1 if Maelstrom does not hit (if there isn't anything to retire, your opponent chooses a card from their hand and discards it). If you have 2 or more Armada orders, Maelstrom also gains a crit and drive. A combination of Glory and Reverse Maelstrom. I'd like to add Vermillion to the list of decks that desperately need help. All the support it got was the really G3 promo, which doesn't even have guard value in a deck already running 7 G3s excluding it. The new card in the next set is neat, but it is pretty much buffed Staticrack Dragon but with a draw 1. In other words, we already have a card that does what it does, except we just get 1-2 more draw throughout the entire game. It also has an overcosted RG in Deathscythe. Come on, that was the best you could do, Bushi? A RR card as this deck's main support card? And since Lyrical Monasterio didn't get any mention, I'd like to put Fortia/Friends to the list. It's just Overlord, but bad. If Overlord is already cooked, what hope does Fortia have? The deck is still in the era of card design where "CB1, call 1 from hand, draw 1" is still being used.

As a Maelstrom user this is why we were waiting for Glory Maelstrom and I hope that he made's a return to D standard after the 2nd season of Divinez anime or after the 3rd season of Divinez anime on next year of 2025 especially after the card revealed of Divinez set 4 and 5 or in next year of 2025 after the card revealed for Divinez set 7 and 8 so their might be a chance for Glory Maelstrom will make a comeback on neither DZ booster set 6 or 9 and the only problem of maelstrom is just low resource and lack of potentials and new maelstrom support in DZ booster set 3 isn't enough to power up since luqueir has finally got her evolution and her new support is good and now it's is Maelstrom turn to get his evolution back to D standard and not just only glory maelstrom the new support of maelstrom will help balance his resource management and consistency game and keep that in mind that on next week of Tuesday they will announced new product for November and hopefully it will be DZ booster set 6

Granfia needs better consistency, a new form, and support that just isn't being also stolen by Lianorn. Like damn, girl, you don't have enough great support you gotta leech off your buddy?

I'm pretty much a Dragon Empire main and Overlord was one of my favorites (still is) but the fact still remains that Overlord is just not as good as it once was. Two vanguard swins, each with twin drive is not enough. Had it had a 3rd vanguard swing then maybe it'll still be viable or at the very least a way to have crit pressure which has always been Overlord's missing link aside from other major factors. The deck is just outclassed by other decks such as Varga, and other restanding vanguards.

Personally, would put granfia as worst stoichea deck. I could genuinely see flagburg being more playable with a restander that cost 2-3 energy. I don’t think he needs a new form but I’ll gladly take one.

casually leaves out lyrical monasterio

What cards do you think flagburg needs to get back in it

The problem with Viamance bruce currently is that bushi keeps giving him more and more attacker units and little to nothing unit cards that give hand size utility, the PR he got only helps a little but only just. it does not matter if you can attack 5 - 7 times in a turn if you cant defend yourself with less than your opponents hand size. yes there is mabel but does it really help if you just pull blanks on that triple drive and your using a lot of resources at the same time for other cards. dont get me wrong i like bruce and i have him since the start of overdress but only giving him like some form of utility cards is a hindrance compared to other decks that draw like crazy to little effort while bruce can barely build hand size and waste a lot of resource is a shame. i wished that viamance bruce did not have that restriction of only having diabolos cards in the field for the final rush/burst so that cards like marjorie can be atleast useful in it. maybe the restand should have been the only thing restricted to diabolos cards for the restand column effect not the final rush. but only thing to do is wait like other diabolos cards that give utility

How many cards do you think orfist is from getting back up also just a question what kinda cards do you think time stamping needs to get up in things

Dude have you heard of new maelstrom support from set 3?

Bav coper here, Bav will be Tier 0 once it gets 4th attacker frfr

Grhyyaundra got a new Grade 1 from the recent BZBT-04 called Detonate Bolt Dragon. Let me tell you. It is a really solid annoying unit. [ACT](RC):If you have a grade 3 or greater vanguard with "Grhy" in its card name, COST [retire this unit], choose one of your vanguards, and it gets "[CONT](VC):During the battle your unit with "Aundra" in its card name attacked, your opponent cannot play blitz orders from hand, and when they would call cards from hand, they must call two or more at the same time." until end of turn. I think the only thing that is left. Is either being able to get more cards to hand. Or to be even more aggressive during your turns to make up for the lack of draw power.

It's pronounced Ale-Key-Libra btw

I love the BGM.pokemon black and white version👍

Can you ⁠make what if Akiza Izinski From Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Played Cardfight!! Vanguard

The thing with Magnolia Elder is that it indeed has been getting a lot of really good support but the thing holding it back is that people are still trying to build it like it was 2021 and looping Inlet turn 5 is still a good play, every Mag Elder list I see focuses too much on drawing cards and plusing which, yes drawing is good but OTT teaches us that just drawing cards alone without focusing on actually closing the game doesn't win the game. Interestingly the new cards from Divine Set 4 actually are a big steps in the right direction, instead of being the 6th or 7th way of calling something from drop *cough*TheNewTomatoPromo*cough* the new cards are stricly high aggro cards that allow Maggy to hit for some real numbers which is the area that every Magnolia Elder list is lacking.

Pokemon music? Based. Happy belated birthday btw. Personally I disagree that Keter is in a good place because none of the decks have an identity. It's just slap the pile onto any ride line and go. That's not healthy. Generic-heavy decks suggest one of two things: Either the named support leaves a lot to be desired or players aren't even looking at it to begin with. To me, that's a problem. Generics should fill gaps until new support fills out the deck, not run the deck itself. If generics carry the nation, there's no good deck, but just a good pile. If thise cards were to get chiice restricted to encourage actually using other cards, everything dies. Even as a Brandt main, every ride line always grabs a specific set order with the grade one, but they all play very differently past that point because all the orders do different things. I'm not the biggest fan of Eva running the monster engine, but at least it's a Research order and Obscudeid is still Eva-themed. The generic monster stuff speeds it up and works with the promo that bridges the two halves of the deck together, but it doesn't feel nearly as void of identity as all of Keter being run by 3 cards no matter what ride line you use. And the monster stuff isn't run in every Brandt Gate deck like how the Keter Pile is all over Keter.

Oh haven’t seen you around in a while

New alden needs your skills Pls make a decklist

I'm here at 2024 its hard to get some of the card for the deck on the year 😢

Beep

delete this shitty ass channel you garbage ass retard that should never be playing the game cause how every deck you post are all so shit you dumb ass no braincells no knowledge retard that should just quit playing the game cause how shit you are at deck building you idiotic failure

Isnt the Arena effect need other Arena? Cause it said if your another Arena in your order zone didnt rest

Ayy Esketit, time for some more Mecha action!

Awesome great to see someone else messing with Asturm. I plan to also do a deck profile soon. 👀 Great video man 💪

I dont wanna be that guy but Swingby Dragon can only restand after Astrum use on attack eff😷

I am a very big fan of your builds. I agree with @isearchTH-cam the shadow army token os explosive. Keep what your doing. Fun decks are the best.

delete this shitty ass channel you garbage ass retard that should never be playing the game cause how every deck you post are all so shit you dumb ass no braincells no knowledge retard that should just quit playing the game cause how shit you are at deck building you idiotic failure

Personally a fan of the Shadow Army build you showed. Tried it heavily and let me tell you, the first time you play someone with it, is basically a guaranteed W because they do NOT see it coming lol We don't talk about playing them again, this is anime logic

Weirdly.. most of your tips are what I teach to new players in our LGS... 2 to 5 at least... I don't usually talk about the META coz I'm not that usually updated.. the META talks I pass it to my other friends who are more active in the competetive scene..

Hey! Like the video and your decks, quick note: Been testing with the Vyrgilla ride line. I think it's the best one we have for Spino.

The big minus of solrairon is the boss unit very reliant to specific card to activate. Even if bushi put support that can peek the top deck, solrairon just have a half of his strenght cause what solrairon want on the top deck when we reveal by his skill is a normal unit not other unit. if we can reveal the normal unit, all card can get 10K power for solrairon effect and the rear own effect. The better idea is we need card like the G1, that can draw and put back the normal unit on the top. Bushi can make it different with see top 3 card and we can put it back to the top deck at any order. Thats what i need personally as solrairon user

Bonnets sucks you look like a clown psycho bob
