My prediction Stride deck set- Atmile/ Asha Main set: Asura Kaiser/ Tsukyomi. With these 2, we complete 1. Q4 Team 2. Try 3 team 3. The original Big 3 of BT05- MLB-Dote-Tsukyomi
@@LomasneyAaron I don't really think Nighrose and Harri is rival though, they are on the same team, or if we want think a bit "rainbow", they are a couple. Dont get me wrong, I also want Fenrir, I miss that edgy wolf boi so bad but Try 3 should be finished first, then maybe a Fenrir+Gravail stride set for the following years
For Stride, definitely Altmile and Asha. For regular encounter, I think we might be ready to do a 2nd round of Aichi/Kai/Ren's decks. Something like Alfred/Gancelot or Revengers would be quite nice. Oracle is also a nation I look forward to. It is likely going to be Tsukuyomi, but I will be more than happy if Bushi finally decides to make Amaterasu good.
This may be possible yet it probably needs some condition like PBD, eg when there are 2 or more opponent's rg, you choose one back row RC and lock it. EB 4 when there are more opponents units than yours, lock one front row and one back row
@@naytny5819 Thanks, I played against a friend using just PBD, it's skill of needing 1CB and retire 3RG, sounds cost heavy for, retire 2 opponent rg and get +10k ,+1crit. For dreadful lock let's say the conditions need to be where the using of skills needs to be a gamble all or nothing sort of thing
For LM, it’s either between Lauris or Tirua for a stride deck. My issue with Tirua is just the support in the past was locked into having a Chouchou unit to activate abilities, which shuts off possible generics with her. But it can be fixed by making skills that don’t need the chouchou name. I personally would like Laruis just because she’s been without major support or recognition since Blessing of Divas. Encounter wise I would like to see Angel Feather return.
Altmile and Ahsha make sense this year since it does have all three members of Try 3 have their decks in standard. I already got my favorite unit in standard being Nightrose, but I would like to see a Gavrail stride deck at some point in Standard.
I'd be so happy if they brought Chaos Breaker into standard. I've yet to play a CBD deck. Messiah was fun enough on Dear Days, but I want to torment my opponent with locks. The aesthetic of deletors wasn't interesting to me and Messiah are the good guys.
Yes. That's why I think they skipped over Genesis, because they already released the "upgrade" G3 alongside the ACTUAL base G3 (Angelica). My guesses for the non-Stride Deckset encounters: Platina Ezel and Great Daiyusha for upgrades (they're the only two left that need one) Mujinlord and..Ogma? for new strides and...maybe Azure Dragon and Amaterasu for new encounters (since they both can get cross ride upgrades with Illuminal Dragon and Goddess of the Sun Amaterasu) and if tossing in Lyrical as well, obviously Shangri-La Coral for upgrades, and...I guess Riviere for new encounter.
From G Era, think Altmile and Asha are a shoe-in, because of the 10th anniversary. Also maybe Victor, cause Kamui was big part of Team TRY3 and G in general. I'd also like to see Zodiac Beasts to support Chronojet (would be cool to get Chronofang). So that's four decks covered. Aside from those, I'd like to an encounter from Zoo, and only one that makes is Leo-Pald.
@@cronical246 big belly would be the stride deck for great nature because it's the g era grade three boss unit so for encounter decks I think we'd get chat noir probably
its probably not gonna happen bc theyre not extremely popular BUT i would love if they released encounters for tsukuyomi and perfect raizer/asura so Q4 can have all of their bosses in that era in d series. If not that, chaos breaker is def a shoe in for next year, along with altmile/ahsha. if lyrical gets another non stride deck encounter its probably gonna be riviere + enternal pacifica so all the pacificas are in d era
Honestly I’ve always felt that Thavas and Vanquisher are tied together. They usually appear in the same sets and their users are pretty popular among the fandom. After Altmile and Ahsha I’d say those two would be the next stride decksets. And yeah Revengers would be the biggest money grab move they could make. Followed by Star Vaders and Eradicators.
The thing I hate about CBD is that it creates a dichotomy between playable deck and non-playable deck, especially if the meta is CBD, any decks that depends on rear-guard a lot will become obsolete. If you make CBD powerful, it will delete a lot of options for other decks but if you make it weaker, it won't be as popular and it beats the point of bringing it back in the first place.
That's why Messy has its own crest forcing you to unlock opponent's card(s). But yeah it's a crest, no way normal encounter will get one EXCEPT they add this to CBD's skill.
It's been over a decade at this point, but I remember Link joker at that time having a few major weaknesses. Locking was expensive: chaos breaker, for ex, could lock one thing for cb1 and a discard. (In a deck with no CC). Most other sources of lock were either more expensive than that, only hit backrow, or required something to already be locked. You really needed a breakride from infinite 0 dragon to completely shut down your opponent. Because you needed that br, the deck couldn't really do much before t4. Unless you managed to ride Mobius breath t2 and land a VG hit with it. The deck caved to early game aggression. But yeah, BR era CBD wasn't really op. It was a control deck. People, in every tcg for as long as they've existed, have always complained about control. Yeah there were decks that could straight up ignore Chaos breaker (revengers for ex)but any deck could effectively play around it.
@@DJATOMICA95 I don't think CBD was too OP, some decks definitely can play around locks especially ones that retire or bounce their own rear-guard at the end of battle, but as I said, when you are playing certain decks against CBD, you just can't win, Reverse decks are the prime example of this and it gets to the point where you realize some decks are really fun to play but they are unplayable because they can't handle being locked. You are not guarantee to be paired with a CBD player but the deck building always have to consider the chance of you meeting with one, so you bring an unlocker which is a vanilla in your deck if you don't meet a CBD player.
Rear guard reliant decks will always have issues as long as control decks exist, decks like gandeeva and prison punished rear guard reliant decks hard even before Link Joker. But at least with CBD you can play around it and keep important circles open. Even with busted cards like chaos universe that force a lock out of hand the meta came more diverse because it allowed more slower decks into the meta that were previously being shit on by aggro decks.
My tinfoil theory is that the Clans that represented in recent clan generic encounters are hints of what we are getting for next encounters (at least for the no representation one) but ngl your prediction of LJ era encounters sound more believable. I shall smoke in copium for the day Amon comes to D or even Reijy who needs a redemption
@@nadimwallani1713 hey you never know plus technically gaia emperor would be awesome in d series plus they could always so Gaia and yasuie after all there have been two users who have used those decks and were big rivals in g plus if they did limit break or lower its pretty obvious tyranno legend and juggernaut maximum or death Rex and juggernaut
For Legion, they could use the mechanic that was added in the stardust blaze trial deck. Ewzuer (how ever you spell it) has a "mate" skill. Could use that as the legion instead
I want Deletors back. I was a Deletor main back in Vanguard Zero which was what got me into the series. I miss those days and that was my favorite deck. Beast Deity and Eradicators would be cool too. Thavas would be cool to play again. Blue Wave returning would be cool as well although that one likely isn’t happening over Thavas. Then there is Ancient Dragons which was another deck I played a lot back in Zero. I miss playing it. It was fun and aggressive to play and had lots of potential. It could actually see a lot of play in the D series. Musketeers could return as well. Amon, Chronofang, Chromejailer, Dungaree, the gravity dragon ride line (cannot spell the grade threes name for the life of me), Hyakki, Bladewing, Altmile, Diablo (would be strange with the Diabolos), Seekers, Tetra Drive, Star Vaders (Dark Zodiac, Infinity Zero, Blaster Joker, etc), Gredora, Gaia, Scharhot, and Glendios. Bring back Reverse units too. I loved those cards. These are just some of my picks for stuff I would love to see return. The stuff that isn’t in that long naming string is stuff I wouldn’t mind playing again or I just want to see again. They are lower on my list but the stuff above it is stuff I would love to see return. Also funnily enough, I was playing Deletors before they were meta. I was actually shocked that they became meta due to the high cost on their effects and the delete status being removed once your opponent rode over their vanguard or strode. I thought that would kill the deck. That and that one Messiah Stride being an anti lock card that basically undid the Deletors setup on its own. I forgot which one that was. Now then there are some decks I would love to see return but didn’t mention earlier because they slipped my mind at first. Brawler, Cocytus, Yasui, Stealth Dragons, Seal Dragons, Raptors, Blademaster, Vanquisher, and Machining. It isn’t that I don’t like these decks. In fact I loved playing them but didn’t play them for as long as the others so I kinda forgot them. I didn’t mention Revengers as there are too many versions of that deck to mention. At least for Star Vaders, they are the main part of Link Joker. For Revengers I would want to see Raging Form Dragon return as well as the Dragrulers. Basically the Break Ride era Revengers which were the second ever deck I played actually. The first was Eradicators. I actually prefer the Gauntlet Buster variant. But when I mentioned them earlier I was referring to them as a whole. Dragonic Descendent would probably be the one to return if they did end up becoming encounter decks. Raging Form Dragon is also more popular than Dragruler Phantom and Mordred Phantom. I already have ideas on how to translate the ride lines for these decks. Both Revengers and Deletors will be weaker in the D series compared to the G series and Break Ride eras that they were once apart of. V series too. That is because there probably won’t be a triggers or Sentinels with their archetypal name which means there would be less cards you can sacrifice. But they would benefit from having a ride deck which makes them more consistent. Revengers are less likely to appear than Deletors in my opinion due to the fact that Shadow Paladin already has two representatives via Luard and Phantom Blaster. Link Joker would have two representatives as well if Deletors were to return but they are probably not going to be added in either. That is because Star Vaders are much more likely to get in. As for the ride lines I have an idea for them. For Deletors the grade 0 would be Acquire Deletor Igor. The grade one could be pretty much any Deletor so I chose Ill Fated Deletor Drown. The grade two could be Clipping Deletor Evo. Drown will have its rearguard skill from Zero and Evo will be able to call it from soul when you ride it. This will give the Deletor deck a lot of card draw and an extra body on board to sacrifice for their effects. As for the grade three there are multiple options depending on what you want to do. If you go the Legion side of things, Juxtaposed Deletor Zaele would work perfectly. If you were to go the V series route then Greion and Greidhol would be perfect. Greion would have its delete effects and when rode upon by Greidhol you activate persona ride and call one Deletor from soul and one from drop. You can then bind the Greion from soul and retire two Deletor rearguards and counter blast 2 to delete your opponents vanguard. Depending on how many cards are face down in your opponents bind zone you might get an extra drive check or critical. Possibly a guard restrict. Maybe locking a back row rearguard. For Revengers the ride line is a lot more easy to figure out. Grade 0, Frontline Revenger Claudas or Judgebao Revenger. Claudas for Raging Form and Judgebao for Legion. Claudas would call itself from soul when you ride Blaster Dark Revenger. Judgebao might do the same thing honestly. Grade 2, Blaster Dark Revenger. Same effects as the D era Blaster Dark but requires you to retire a Revenger in particular. Now for the grade 3 units. Raging Form will benefit from Persona Ride due to the way it works. End of attack, retire three Revenger rearguards to ride a Raging Form from hand. Kinda it’s calling card. But unlike the old ones, this one triggers Persona Ride. If Persona Ride was already active then it doesn’t lose any drive checks. Otherwise it loses a drive check. Its rearguards will be focused on getting three Revengers on board to sacrifice for Raging Form and searching it. For the Legion, it will call out the Blaster Dark Revenger from soul and then you can return four Revenger units from drop to the bottom of your deck to legion with the Blaster Dark Revenger. Their power is added to each other. When attacking you can retire two Revenger rearguards to gain a critical and an extra 10K power. If in Legion you can retire one of your opponent’s rear guards. Mordred Phantom will have the effect to counter blast 1 to call a Grade 2 or lower Revenger rearguard from deck. That unit gets an additional 5K power and Mordred Phantom gains 10K power for the turn. When rode upon by Dragruler Phantom, activate persona ride and Bind Mordred Phantom and call one Revenger Rearguard from deck and one from Drop. They both gain 5K power and are retired at the end of the turn. Dragruler Phantom can retire three Revenger rearguards to gain an extra 5K power and if your opponent has 4 or less damage, deal one damage to your opponent. Triggers do activate. At the end of the turn you ride the bound Mordred Phantom. These are based upon the newer mechanics of the game as well as having homages to the old versions of their respective decks.
I used to play Deletors, but since there’s Drajeweled & Blangdmire, I doubt they will bring Deletors back. Chaos Breaker would be cool but they have to make Lock high cost to activate
Most likely for the encounter decks its going to be: Stride decks: Ahsha/Altmile Asura Kaiser/Chaos Breaker Personal wishlist: Stride decks: Chronofang/ Darkface (not Gredora) Deletors/Starhulks
Eradicators could have support like this. For Vowing Sword the grade 0 would be Blade Hand Dracokid. For Sweep Command it would be First Thunder Dracokid. For Dragonic Descendent it would be Strike Dagger. For Gauntlet Buster, Spirit Beads Eradicator Nata. Unlike the others, Gauntlet Buster doesn’t have a Grade 0 for it. I chose Nata because they have a mini version of Gauntlet Busters effect. Although any of the generic Eradicator grade 0 units work for it. The Grade 1 units are next For Sweep Command it would be Machinegun Eradicator Kantou. For Dragonic Descendent it would be Sword Dance Eradicator Hisen. For Gauntlet Buster it would be Lightning Fist Eradicator Dui. For Vowing Sword it would be Deadly Eradicator, Ouei. These units were chosen due to synergistic effects and or mentioning their respective grade three in text. Kantou will call itself from soul when rode upon by the grade 2 I select for it. Whenever something is retired it and one other Eradicator you control will gain an additional 3K power for the turn. Hisen will gain an extra 5K power when boosting Dragonic Descendent and at the end of that attack, it will restand. It will also be important for the ride line. Dui can be bound from the soul to give your Gauntlet Buster an additional effect for the turn if your opponents vanguard is a grade 3 or greater unit. Opposing rearguards that are retired during this turn are bound instead. When boosting a Gauntlet Buster, it gains an additional 5K power for the turn and at the end of the attack, it goes into the soul. When a Grade 3 Eradicator is rode upon, Ouei will call itself from soul and you can retire one of your opponents rear guards. When it is locked, your vanguard gains an additional 10K power for the turn. For the Grade 2 units I have selected them based upon synergy with their respective grade 3 units. For Sweep Command it will be Homing Eradicator Rochishin. For Dragonic Descendent it will be Supreme Army Eradicator Zuitan. For Gauntlet Buster it will be Fiendish Sword Eradicator Cho-Ou. For Vowing Sword it will be Lorentz Force Dragon. Rochishin will call itself from soul when an opponents rear guard is retired by the effect of your Sweep Command. Whenever an opponents rearguard is retired, it and your Sweep Command Vanguard gain an additional 5K power for the turn. If you have Strike Dagger and Hisen in your soul, you can ride a Dragonic Descendent using the effect of Zuitan. This is a foil to Ezel. When rode upon by Dragonic Descendent this way, call Hisen from your soul and your Vanguard loses one drive check for the turn. Cho-Ou will be able to place an Eradicator rear guard into your soul to retire one of your opponents front row rearguards when placed. When rode upon by Gauntlet Buster, you can call Lightning Fist from your soul. When rode upon by Vowing Sword, Lorentz Force can retire one of your opponents rear guards. If your Eradicator rear guard is locked during your turn while Lorentz Force is in your soul, you can counter blast one to call it from your soul, then Lorentz Force and your vanguard will gain an additional 5K power for the turn. Now for the Grade 3 units. They will have effects that have a lot of synergy with their ride line while paying homage to their original iterations. Sweep Command Dragon when placed on your vanguard circle, retire one of your opponents back row rear guards. Whenever an opponents rear guard is retired, you can counter blast two to retire another rear guard in that column. End of attack, bind an Eradicator First Thunder Dracokid from your soul, look at the top 10 cards of your deck, you can ride one Sweep Command Dragon from among then shuffle your deck. Whenever an opponents rear guard is retired, you can place one of your Eradicator Rearguards into your soul to gain 5K power for the turn. This mirrors the effect of First Thunder allowing you to ride a Sweep Command when something is retired by an effect but this time I made it so that it’s effect is apart of Sweep Command but requires the Grade 0. This is because Grade 0 units don’t typically have effects anymore. The extra power gain from the last effect can allow you to possibly do more attacks with your vanguard by placing additional copies of First Thunder into your soul. But it can also place Rochishin into your soul to allow you to call it when you do use the effect of Sweep Command. In theory you can do a lot of attacks and get a lot of drive checks doing this. But it is heavily counter blast expensive and requires you to run additional copies of the Grade 0 and Sweep Command. It requires a lot of pieces to work. Now for Dragonic Descendent. Once per turn At the end of the battle this unit attacked an opponents grade 3 or greater vanguard, if this units attack did not hit, you can counter blast 1 and discard three Eradicator units from your hand to stand this unit and if you do this unit gains +1 critical for the turn. When this units attack hit your opponents vanguard, retire one of your opponents rear guards. Once per turn If an opponents rearguard was retired this turn, you can counter blast 1 to add one Eradicator unit from your soul or drop to your hand. This group of effects makes Dragonic Descendent a card that punishes your opponent for guarding but it requires a large amount of cards in hand to be discarded. That effect is the same as the first Dragonic Descendent. But if the attack did hit, then you can retire one of your opponents rear guards. This gives your opponent more incentive to guard your attack. If you had already retired something before you started to attack, then you can counter blast one to retrieve an Eradicator from your soul or drop to your hand to either fuel Descendents effect or play it as an additional attacker. I put once per turns on this one because it had them on the original. That and to balance the card. Further support would be focused around if your attacks hit or don’t hit. Now for Gauntlet Buster. You can counter blast 2 to retire one of your opponents rear guards. When an opponents rear guard is retired during your turn, this unit gains an additional 5K power. If an opponents rearguard is bound during your turn, all of your Eradicator rearguards gain 5K power and this unit gains +1 critical for the turn. If this units attack did not hit, you can add one of your bound Eradicator units to your hand, except Sentinels. These effects are a homage to the original Gauntlet Buster. Gaining power and crit for every unit you retire during your turn. Not a once per turn either. As a result this unit can end a match very easily. But to make the card more fair, I added a condition to make that part of the effect live. You have to bind a card. That is where the grade 1 comes in. The grade one gives you extra power when boosting Gauntlet Buster which makes it harder to guard against. You can bind it from your soul to make it so that all of your opponents rearguards will be bound when retired during your turn. But your opponents vanguard has to be a grade 3 or greater unit to trigger it. If Gauntlet Busters attack did not land then you can add the bound grade 1 to your hand. When you play it you can then use the effect of the grade 2 to place it back into the soul to retire something. Now the conditions are met for you to use the effect again. This makes it so that Gauntlet Buster is meant to end games in a single attack but it won’t lose automatically if it gets hit by a sentinel. Now for Vowing Sword and Vowing Saber Vowing Sword, When placed on your vanguard circle, you can discard one Eradicator unit from your hand to add one Grade 3 Eradicator unit from your deck or drop to your hand. When attacking if boosted, you can reveal one Grade 3 Eradicator unit in your hand to gain 13K power until the end of your turn thenIf your opponents vanguard is Grade 3 or greater, retire one of your opponents rearguards. Vowing Saber Dragon Reverse, When placed on the vanguard circle by riding a Vowing Sword, bind one Vowing Sword from your soul, retire one of your opponents rearguards and activate persona ride. Ride the unit bound by this effect at the end of your turn. You can lock one of your Eradicator rearguards to retire one of your opponents rearguards then if this card hasn’t gained a crit this turn, gain +1 crit. When one of your rearguards is locked, draw one card. At the end of the battle this unit attacked an opponents grade 3 or greater rear guard, you can return one of your locked Eradicator rearguards to your hand to counter charge one. If it isn’t obvious these two are meant to work together. Vowing Sword when ridden will add Vowing Saber to hand by discarding an Eradicator. On your next ride phase you then ride the Vowing Saber which will then trigger persona ride and bind the Vowing Sword from soul. By locking an Eradicator rearguard, you can then retire an opponents rearguard and gain a single critical. Whenever you lock one of your own rear guards you then draw a card to make up for the loss in power. At the end of the turn you ride the Vowing Sword again. This in turn lets you add a Vowing Saber from your deck or drop to your hand again. The Grade 2 lets you retire an additional rearguard when you do this. Twice the value. At the end of the attack, you return a locked unit to hand to counter charge one. This fuels the grade 2 again.
@@SheruMuko I like the way your thinking love the idea for all the effects and effort you put in but just saying no offense but after all these rideline they've made they go what the characters using the deck rideline so well most likely pretty much get 2 options for rideline until grade3 but sorry I'm not trying to down your thinking I'm just saying this as my thoughts my bad if I offended you
@@amirullfadzli1310Rezael is more granblue than angel feather, the divine feels angel feather? Yes, but the deck doesn't play around the damage zone. We already have some angels that interacts with the damage zone already, but they're not that good
I want to play Ezel more but man it's rough, I'm really hoping for Platina and support similar to what The BLOOD and Glory Maelstrom got. Stride deck sets I could definately see Altmile and Ahsha in relation to the 10 year anniversary of G Series. Also open to Gurguit since I loved playing that during G.
I personally think/hope that they would at least have 1 of every clan before making more popular past cards from the same clans. They just showed Doreen and Cocoa, so hopefully DI and OTT will be the next; maybe Amon and Amaterasu/Tsukuyomi. I'm personally waiting for my AF to come back!!!
Since I'm a Lyrical main and a Bermuda main, I'll give my own little two cents on encounter. I think Lauris has more points to her of being the stride deck set compared to Tirua, the only argument Tirua has is that she was a trial deck whereas Lauris was the main boss of G, Saya was her user aka our main Rep of BT in G, and she was a lot more generic even with Harmony, I don't understand some arguments that say Lauris won't come to G just because Friends is a thing they're close but theyre not the same. As for encounters, I'm predicting a pattern of two Lyrical boss encounters a year, so I think 2025 will have Riviere for sure and either Raindear or Eternal Idol, Pacifica, or they might even do all three. If they don't put Eternal Idol next set, they could release her together with Shangri-la Coral for a double new boss form set just like Vermillion and Maelstrom. They're our most likely candidates so far, it's too early for Duos imo, Vert and Labrador don't have new forms outside of stride so they're in similar boats with Minerva where they'll probably just get a new Prism rear guard rather than a new form, the next Prism G3 is Garnet and she was her own boss like the other two I can't see them retraining her any time soon.
We roughly get 9-12 encounters a year. Each encounter set usually drops with 3 encounter bosses per set. PBO, dragonic overlord, MLB. Pbd and DO were kind of the outliers.
For me, here’s the likely ones; Deck sets; Altmile and Ahsha New Encounters; Tsukuyomi, Chaos breaker and either Asura Kaiser or Blaukluger. New Lyrical encounter because they can’t help themselves; Lauris as a deck and Rivière. Updated forms; Ezel, Coral, Pacifica Ones I’d like; Darkface/Gredora, Chatnoir, Jewel Knight, Nociel, Scarlet Witch Coco, Gurguit, Ancient Dragons, Dudleys.
Lock on standard with only 1or 2 expected counter to it (both also encounters) will be either high resource based or meta immediately. A lot of decks keep a stable front row at end of turn for easy target. My only cure for star-vader lock is if it allows cards on the backrow to attack if front row is locked. It still penalizes most from gaining crest or persona power.
While Victor would be neat, I also would like to see other old decks like Chaos-Breaker and Ezel. If they do bring Ezel back though, I do hope they make it so his decks cards have the 'gold paladin' clan piece as I'd rather not have keter pile Ezel spam or atleast make it so you can't run Cerragaon in the Ezel deck. In regards to Chaos Breaker, I actually would like him to have his limit break effect alongside the power boost from his v-series counter part due the various new defensive helpers from d-series alongside the new grade 1's from set 5 such as Summit Flare Dragon. Outside of those two, I'd love to see Asha and Daikaiser. If they ever do Legion encounter decks, I'd love to see Brawlers as even if it doesn't have the original Legion feature, we do have the new Legion Mate feature where the card can only be played if you have the needed vanguard so they could do something with that.
Regarding Ezel's new form I've been seeing folks talk about how they could put Platina with Great Daiyusha as the last two major limit breakers (not counting cards like goddess amaterasu adn illuminal because theres not been any support for them). But I really like the idea of Scissors and Chaos out together, I'd be hugely invested if that were to be the case.
I'm betting on getting an encounter Riviere deck next year in the next Lyrical booster set. Might be partnered with a Eternal Idol Pacifica with Perla & Perle as her grades 1 & 2 in the same set if they do it like the Coral+Vert pair. But if they do that, then I'd expect Lyrical to be the last one to get a stride deck set in D.
I would love to see Beast Deities appear alongside Ezel and Chaos Breaker if they do come back in a set together, despite knowing that beast deities will probably have the same problem as Prism of not having enough names for the effects. My cope pick would be Valkyron. Him and the other Shinemon originals were really fun to play so hoping for those. And speaking of V reminded me of my favorite V deck Nociel so coping we get that as well.
List of clans without full rideline encounters DE, tachikaze, murakumo DS, dark Irregular BG, nova grappler KS, OTT, angel feather, SC, neo nectar, megacolony, great nature, My personal wish for decks brought back as encounter are; OTT Amaterasu and Scarlet witch Coco, Sha Pal Witches Femme, Dark Irregular Sharhalott (Darkness Keyword), NovGra Beast Deity( asura kaiser has bastion as its copycat, restand when drive check get grade3)
As a left fields kind of encounter I’d love to see Scarlet Witch, Coco. She’s been my favorite card since set 2 of OG. I love how she played and her art. I’d go broke if that happened.
there is also the possibility of doing Ahsha vs Gavrail , and Altmile vs Fenris, just like they did with shiranui and luard, but the problem with that is the amount of Keter decks in that case.
Asha and altmile are no brainer for stride, but victor definitely feels very possible as kamui is a prominent character in G but is also the only member of Q4 who doesn’t have an encounter yet
honestly, I know it probably won't happen till after Link Joker stuff, but I really want my blue flame liberators back and not as legion this time around
V was the only time they made my Favorite Kagero Unit Dragonic Waterfall Amazing. I know we'll never got a new version of him for D, cause he's so underrated, but I'm not that upset about it either. If anything, I'll love to see Blademaster getting a Stride Deck.
Fundamentally, their mechanics and playstyle were not actually that popular or well received by a lot of their fans, instead preferring how they were handled in V. Altmile players despise Brave and Ahsha players are very split on Bloom vs Flower Fairy. Yes they were popular decks to play but they came with their caveats in G compared to V
@@pyralockhart645 very clueless opinion. We see time and again if they want something back to standard, they will regardless of mechanic or any reason you can come up with. Is daiyusha using set order back in the day ????? They can easily revamp the mechanic or tune down of some sort. It just a matter of rolling the wonder wheel and pick a lucky candidate.
Ok but like we are not Bushiroad right. I’m just saying this from the perspective of most of the Ahsha and Altmile players. Yes it’s unrealistic but we can’t see them doing the stride route with any amount of changes with just how well received and their other variations are. Not only is it a no brainer but it’s what would sell more fundamentally. We didn’t see a Revamp to dominate being changed to Tokens in Standard like V either so we can’t realistically see them doing any substantial rework to Brave and Bloom
@@pyralockhart645 on the flip side its also very easy to make them marketable. Sure their ability can feel lukewarm but they can just print broken promos down the line and profit again. And solely judging from the fact this much people asking for them, theres must definitely a market to explore.
For Lyrical i think they will release Eternal Idol Pacifica and maybe something for Labrador to keep up with the trend that they made with Lyrical 4 where all the ride decks from 2 sets before get a new form
Im pretty sure eventually they will bring Stride deckset outside G trial decks. I genuinely want Break ride card's to be back with Daikaiser, Dauntless, Mordred etc also having abilities that plays similarly to their OG counterpart. For me Perditions, Descendant, Dauntless, Burnout, Nouvelle is in my Wish list.
I feel like DI and OTT are guaranteed next year seeing as they randomly got a single card in DZ-06 and it'd be weird to release a DI and OTT card and not give them their own full deck for an entire year. I would love to see Scharhrot for DI, but it's most likely gonna be Amon or some other "Early Vanguard" boss unit since Doreen only works without a G-Zone.
For the Stride Deck Set, four options: Altmile, Ahsha, Blademaster, and Lauris (Lyrical deserved one) For the non-G Encounters Keter: Alfred/Amaterasu/Nociel Dragon: Dragonic Descendant/Shirayuki/Magatsu (Nubatama) Brandt: Raizer/Daikaiser/Star-vader (I hate them but if they a skill that unlock at the end of your turn to get bonus, I accept it) Dark: Amon (Sorry but Gear is G Era, Pale Moon is the second Bermuda Triangle, and Spike Bros... Sorry) Stoicheia: Musketter/Leopald/Seven Seas/Blue Wave Lyrical: Reit
I hope for an Asha encounter for the sole reason that it'll be the first Zoo encounter. We have every clan from Magallanica and still not 1 Zoo encounter?! They couldn't even give Zoo the random 1 off encounter support card and just made it Dancing Cutlass. I get that Zoo is probably the least popular nation but it feels weird to have the other nations almost completely represented at this point with not even a hint of a Zoo card on the horizon.
i still hope for great daiyusha next year but daikaiser would be awesome too !!! for strides hopefully altmile and asha and my cope pick would be dauntless drive dragon
I'm resigned to CBD being the face of classic Link Joker at this point, it's just become too iconic, but I'll never not point out that Nebula Lord represented much healthier design philosophy for the clan and should be held as the standard for Link Joker design. Offensive buffs based on the act of locking, even if those locks are in the back row, are much less frustrating to play against than defensive buffs based on keeping a triangle lock secured forever.
I hope we do get an eternal idol pacifica, also vert should have been Labrador support, but they unfortunately name locked all the prism units. Also i would expect us to get riveria soonish.
Still hoping Gancelot and Alfred on D. I just with bushi make the old deck that have "rideline" became D Starter deck like Amber Dragon, Blau (Blaupanzer, Blaukluger, Stern Blaukluger) and Galahad. I think the most realistic deck that will come in near future is jewel knight for keter, because it the first main set after asia circuit. I think we can still get some deck from end of Asia Circuit arc with Musketeer too.
If we look to Legion era, what about the Duo girls, the Perdition Dragons, maybe a new Overlord form in The Great?? ;p Didn’t Jewel Knights and Revengers get an updated Stride set lately??
I can imagine legion with persona ride in this meta, most skill were glory skill, and pg aren't grade 0 again so... my avatar pudding can return again and other stuff, also works with the cocoa they already reveal.
my whole Heart and soul + time as a vanguard player is want Gurguit in standard Stride would be most likely but would like V version, also Would love Beast Deity, Raizers, Ashura or even Blau would be sick
Honestly for the stride decksets, other than a lyrical one and altime and ahsha, mentor figure deckset pairings are imo the most likely Obviously kamui with victor, and strangely enough 3 mentor figures I can think of are all dragon empire: blademaster (kagero), yasuie (shin), and vanquisher (ryutaro)
I am kinda hoping for Schwartzchild over chaos breaker since the original costs felt like they could fit in better with standard, Shirayuki and Nociel would also be welcomed.
I predict for the stride decks either Asha and Altmile or Thavas and Scharhrot. Even though Scharhrot was a booster box deck. Lets get some actual Dark Irregulars representation.
Speakin of Breakrides. Can we get the Breakride Phantom Blaster Dragon and possibly Dragonic Overlord Breakride. Their original forms are now just played for the name and powercrept out.
I dont think the problem with legion would be stepping on the toes of Razael. Razael has the heal part and can place more than 4 crits back. The real problem is triggers are more impactful in D. 10k power is just too much to keep putting 4 back every turn.
Tirua will definitely make a comback we was more successful than lauris, and regardless of her being name centered. For tirua i think bushiroad can always go the haserrit route and just use the same mechanic. She's similar to coral because of her being name dependent, so i dont see a reason as to her being ruled out other than nostalgia of G anime, she can be a stride deckset since her engine the ange tirua engine was what made bermuda formidable at the end of G. Im predicting she will be the other lock counter along with ezel.
![Was Blue Girl About To Defeat Soulburner? [Blue Girl's First Battle]](/img/n.gif)
My prediction
Stride deck set- Atmile/ Asha
Main set: Asura Kaiser/ Tsukyomi.
With these 2, we complete
1. Q4 Team
2. Try 3 team
3. The original Big 3 of BT05- MLB-Dote-Tsukyomi
I think we will get Beast Deity rather than Asura Kaiser, they are more profitable and recognizable
The fenrir genesis dude was nice, but my most wished deck to be return is shadow paladin Witches, hexing opponent units into grade 0s, ponnyororon
No the stride decks are character plus their rival
If altmile it’ll also be fenrir
If ahsha it’ll be Gavrail (I WANT MY ANGEL LADY)
@@LomasneyAaron I don't really think Nighrose and Harri is rival though, they are on the same team, or if we want think a bit "rainbow", they are a couple.
Dont get me wrong, I also want Fenrir, I miss that edgy wolf boi so bad but Try 3 should be finished first, then maybe a Fenrir+Gravail stride set for the following years
I really hope it's asura kaiser
For Stride, definitely Altmile and Asha.
For regular encounter, I think we might be ready to do a 2nd round of Aichi/Kai/Ren's decks.
Something like Alfred/Gancelot or Revengers would be quite nice.
Oracle is also a nation I look forward to. It is likely going to be Tsukuyomi, but I will be more than happy if Bushi finally decides to make Amaterasu good.
OTT have some good decks, amaterasu, tsukuyomi, scarlet witch.
Dark Irregular with darkness skill, please return as encounter
I really think all clans need encounters before we start doubling up (not counting strides those already double)
I see a CBD thumbnail.
I clicked.
Man, it's so cool that You are still in the game. So inspiring!
star vaders invading standard would be awesome i cant lie
Highly unlikely we get chaos breaker or any starvader.
Agreed! Star Vader infinite zero was the first deck i ever played (in zero)
This may be possible yet it probably needs some condition like PBD, eg when there are 2 or more opponent's rg, you choose one back row RC and lock it. EB 4 when there are more opponents units than yours, lock one front row and one back row
Sounds like a cool way to balance it.😊@@amirullfadzli1310
@@naytny5819
Thanks, I played against a friend using just PBD, it's skill of needing 1CB and retire 3RG, sounds cost heavy for, retire 2 opponent rg and get +10k ,+1crit. For dreadful lock let's say the conditions need to be where the using of skills needs to be a gamble all or nothing sort of thing
Petition to bring back the Dinosaurs (please we have been sent to extinction zone since Zero T-T)
For LM, it’s either between Lauris or Tirua for a stride deck. My issue with Tirua is just the support in the past was locked into having a Chouchou unit to activate abilities, which shuts off possible generics with her. But it can be fixed by making skills that don’t need the chouchou name. I personally would like Laruis just because she’s been without major support or recognition since Blessing of Divas.
Encounter wise I would like to see Angel Feather return.
Altmile and Ahsha make sense this year since it does have all three members of Try 3 have their decks in standard. I already got my favorite unit in standard being Nightrose, but I would like to see a Gavrail stride deck at some point in Standard.
I'd be so happy if they brought Chaos Breaker into standard. I've yet to play a CBD deck. Messiah was fun enough on Dear Days, but I want to torment my opponent with locks. The aesthetic of deletors wasn't interesting to me and Messiah are the good guys.
Chaos Breaker Dragon

@@vietdragon5174those who know
10:55 correction, Minerva IS a cross-ride.
Yes. That's why I think they skipped over Genesis, because they already released the "upgrade" G3 alongside the ACTUAL base G3 (Angelica).
My guesses for the non-Stride Deckset encounters:
Platina Ezel and Great Daiyusha for upgrades (they're the only two left that need one)
Mujinlord and..Ogma? for new strides
and...maybe Azure Dragon and Amaterasu for new encounters (since they both can get cross ride upgrades with Illuminal Dragon and Goddess of the Sun Amaterasu)
and if tossing in Lyrical as well, obviously Shangri-La Coral for upgrades, and...I guess Riviere for new encounter.
From G Era, think Altmile and Asha are a shoe-in, because of the 10th anniversary. Also maybe Victor, cause Kamui was big part of Team TRY3 and G in general.
I'd also like to see Zodiac Beasts to support Chronojet (would be cool to get Chronofang).
So that's four decks covered. Aside from those, I'd like to an encounter from Zoo, and only one that makes is Leo-Pald.
I desperately need the unused clans to get encounters
I miss Great Nature (mostly BigBelly) so much. Prolly the same for so many others
@@cronical246 big belly would be the stride deck for great nature because it's the g era grade three boss unit so for encounter decks I think we'd get chat noir probably
They could easily retrain Minerva's stride form as her upgraded grade 3
its probably not gonna happen bc theyre not extremely popular BUT i would love if they released encounters for tsukuyomi and perfect raizer/asura so Q4 can have all of their bosses in that era in d series. If not that, chaos breaker is def a shoe in for next year, along with altmile/ahsha. if lyrical gets another non stride deck encounter its probably gonna be riviere + enternal pacifica so all the pacificas are in d era
Honestly I’ve always felt that Thavas and Vanquisher are tied together. They usually appear in the same sets and their users are pretty popular among the fandom. After Altmile and Ahsha I’d say those two would be the next stride decksets.
And yeah Revengers would be the biggest money grab move they could make. Followed by Star Vaders and Eradicators.
The thing I hate about CBD is that it creates a dichotomy between playable deck and non-playable deck, especially if the meta is CBD, any decks that depends on rear-guard a lot will become obsolete. If you make CBD powerful, it will delete a lot of options for other decks but if you make it weaker, it won't be as popular and it beats the point of bringing it back in the first place.
That's why Messy has its own crest forcing you to unlock opponent's card(s). But yeah it's a crest, no way normal encounter will get one EXCEPT they add this to CBD's skill.
It's been over a decade at this point, but I remember Link joker at that time having a few major weaknesses.
Locking was expensive: chaos breaker, for ex, could lock one thing for cb1 and a discard. (In a deck with no CC). Most other sources of lock were either more expensive than that, only hit backrow, or required something to already be locked. You really needed a breakride from infinite 0 dragon to completely shut down your opponent.
Because you needed that br, the deck couldn't really do much before t4. Unless you managed to ride Mobius breath t2 and land a VG hit with it. The deck caved to early game aggression.
But yeah, BR era CBD wasn't really op. It was a control deck. People, in every tcg for as long as they've existed, have always complained about control. Yeah there were decks that could straight up ignore Chaos breaker (revengers for ex)but any deck could effectively play around it.
@@DJATOMICA95 I don't think CBD was too OP, some decks definitely can play around locks especially ones that retire or bounce their own rear-guard at the end of battle, but as I said, when you are playing certain decks against CBD, you just can't win, Reverse decks are the prime example of this and it gets to the point where you realize some decks are really fun to play but they are unplayable because they can't handle being locked. You are not guarantee to be paired with a CBD player but the deck building always have to consider the chance of you meeting with one, so you bring an unlocker which is a vanilla in your deck if you don't meet a CBD player.
Rear guard reliant decks will always have issues as long as control decks exist, decks like gandeeva and prison punished rear guard reliant decks hard even before Link Joker. But at least with CBD you can play around it and keep important circles open. Even with busted cards like chaos universe that force a lock out of hand the meta came more diverse because it allowed more slower decks into the meta that were previously being shit on by aggro decks.
@@naytny5819 I dunno man, I think I'd prefer having my RG removed over an entire zone being locked out.
Would like to see Star Vaders and Deletors. Wouldn’t be hard, Blagdmire already took the delete gimmick and messiah already locks
A legion encounter deck would be funny
GIVE ME STRIDE DECKSET GAVRAIL!
I can be trusted!
My tinfoil theory is that the Clans that represented in recent clan generic encounters are hints of what we are getting for next encounters (at least for the no representation one) but ngl your prediction of LJ era encounters sound more believable.
I shall smoke in copium for the day Amon comes to D or even Reijy who needs a redemption
I like that idea too!
I feel like Tachikaze will get the Vangaurd zero treatment in terms of encounter decks and sride deck sets i hope I'm wrong 😅
@@nadimwallani1713 hey you never know plus technically gaia emperor would be awesome in d series plus they could always so Gaia and yasuie after all there have been two users who have used those decks and were big rivals in g plus if they did limit break or lower its pretty obvious tyranno legend and juggernaut maximum or death Rex and juggernaut
For Legion, they could use the mechanic that was added in the stardust blaze trial deck. Ewzuer (how ever you spell it) has a "mate" skill. Could use that as the legion instead
I want Deletors back.
I was a Deletor main back in Vanguard Zero which was what got me into the series. I miss those days and that was my favorite deck. Beast Deity and Eradicators would be cool too. Thavas would be cool to play again. Blue Wave returning would be cool as well although that one likely isn’t happening over Thavas.
Then there is Ancient Dragons which was another deck I played a lot back in Zero. I miss playing it. It was fun and aggressive to play and had lots of potential. It could actually see a lot of play in the D series.
Musketeers could return as well. Amon, Chronofang, Chromejailer, Dungaree, the gravity dragon ride line (cannot spell the grade threes name for the life of me), Hyakki, Bladewing, Altmile, Diablo (would be strange with the Diabolos), Seekers, Tetra Drive, Star Vaders (Dark Zodiac, Infinity Zero, Blaster Joker, etc), Gredora, Gaia, Scharhot, and Glendios. Bring back Reverse units too. I loved those cards.
These are just some of my picks for stuff I would love to see return. The stuff that isn’t in that long naming string is stuff I wouldn’t mind playing again or I just want to see again. They are lower on my list but the stuff above it is stuff I would love to see return. Also funnily enough, I was playing Deletors before they were meta. I was actually shocked that they became meta due to the high cost on their effects and the delete status being removed once your opponent rode over their vanguard or strode. I thought that would kill the deck. That and that one Messiah Stride being an anti lock card that basically undid the Deletors setup on its own. I forgot which one that was.
Now then there are some decks I would love to see return but didn’t mention earlier because they slipped my mind at first.
Brawler, Cocytus, Yasui, Stealth Dragons, Seal Dragons, Raptors, Blademaster, Vanquisher, and Machining. It isn’t that I don’t like these decks. In fact I loved playing them but didn’t play them for as long as the others so I kinda forgot them. I didn’t mention Revengers as there are too many versions of that deck to mention. At least for Star Vaders, they are the main part of Link Joker. For Revengers I would want to see Raging Form Dragon return as well as the Dragrulers. Basically the Break Ride era Revengers which were the second ever deck I played actually. The first was Eradicators. I actually prefer the Gauntlet Buster variant. But when I mentioned them earlier I was referring to them as a whole. Dragonic Descendent would probably be the one to return if they did end up becoming encounter decks. Raging Form Dragon is also more popular than Dragruler Phantom and Mordred Phantom. I already have ideas on how to translate the ride lines for these decks. Both Revengers and Deletors will be weaker in the D series compared to the G series and Break Ride eras that they were once apart of. V series too. That is because there probably won’t be a triggers or Sentinels with their archetypal name which means there would be less cards you can sacrifice. But they would benefit from having a ride deck which makes them more consistent. Revengers are less likely to appear than Deletors in my opinion due to the fact that Shadow Paladin already has two representatives via Luard and Phantom Blaster. Link Joker would have two representatives as well if Deletors were to return but they are probably not going to be added in either. That is because Star Vaders are much more likely to get in. As for the ride lines I have an idea for them. For Deletors the grade 0 would be Acquire Deletor Igor.
The grade one could be pretty much any Deletor so I chose Ill Fated Deletor Drown.
The grade two could be Clipping Deletor Evo.
Drown will have its rearguard skill from Zero and Evo will be able to call it from soul when you ride it.
This will give the Deletor deck a lot of card draw and an extra body on board to sacrifice for their effects. As for the grade three there are multiple options depending on what you want to do. If you go the Legion side of things, Juxtaposed Deletor Zaele would work perfectly. If you were to go the V series route then Greion and Greidhol would be perfect. Greion would have its delete effects and when rode upon by Greidhol you activate persona ride and call one Deletor from soul and one from drop. You can then bind the Greion from soul and retire two Deletor rearguards and counter blast 2 to delete your opponents vanguard. Depending on how many cards are face down in your opponents bind zone you might get an extra drive check or critical. Possibly a guard restrict. Maybe locking a back row rearguard.
For Revengers the ride line is a lot more easy to figure out.
Grade 0, Frontline Revenger Claudas or Judgebao Revenger. Claudas for Raging Form and Judgebao for Legion.
Claudas would call itself from soul when you ride Blaster Dark Revenger.
Judgebao might do the same thing honestly.
Grade 2, Blaster Dark Revenger.
Same effects as the D era Blaster Dark but requires you to retire a Revenger in particular.
Now for the grade 3 units.
Raging Form will benefit from Persona Ride due to the way it works.
End of attack, retire three Revenger rearguards to ride a Raging Form from hand. Kinda it’s calling card. But unlike the old ones, this one triggers Persona Ride. If Persona Ride was already active then it doesn’t lose any drive checks. Otherwise it loses a drive check.
Its rearguards will be focused on getting three Revengers on board to sacrifice for Raging Form and searching it.
For the Legion, it will call out the Blaster Dark Revenger from soul and then you can return four Revenger units from drop to the bottom of your deck to legion with the Blaster Dark Revenger. Their power is added to each other. When attacking you can retire two Revenger rearguards to gain a critical and an extra 10K power. If in Legion you can retire one of your opponent’s rear guards.
Mordred Phantom will have the effect to counter blast 1 to call a Grade 2 or lower Revenger rearguard from deck. That unit gets an additional 5K power and Mordred Phantom gains 10K power for the turn. When rode upon by Dragruler Phantom, activate persona ride and Bind Mordred Phantom and call one Revenger Rearguard from deck and one from Drop. They both gain 5K power and are retired at the end of the turn.
Dragruler Phantom can retire three Revenger rearguards to gain an extra 5K power and if your opponent has 4 or less damage, deal one damage to your opponent. Triggers do activate.
At the end of the turn you ride the bound Mordred Phantom.
These are based upon the newer mechanics of the game as well as having homages to the old versions of their respective decks.
Chaos breaker is one of my favorite units but honestly I am praying for chronotiger to get in standard.
I know it's unrealistic but I just want bushi to put out a Blade Wing Reijy that's not like the one from V
Unless you're opponent is deletor v reiji kinda can't do stuff
Reijy got buffed in Vanguard/Zero and it helped the deck out quite nicely
I used to play Deletors, but since there’s Drajeweled & Blangdmire, I doubt they will bring Deletors back. Chaos Breaker would be cool but they have to make Lock high cost to activate
I think Glendios might be a realistic alternative for Link Joker.
BUSHIROAD!!! Give me a Gurguit Stride Deckset and my Bank Account is yours!!!!
it will b altmile and ahsha haha
@ I can still hope
Maybe we see Gurguit... With Lauris
Most likely for the encounter decks its going to be:
Stride decks: Ahsha/Altmile
Asura Kaiser/Chaos Breaker
Personal wishlist:
Stride decks: Chronofang/ Darkface (not Gredora)
Deletors/Starhulks
Eradicators could have support like this.
For Vowing Sword the grade 0 would be Blade Hand Dracokid.
For Sweep Command it would be First Thunder Dracokid.
For Dragonic Descendent it would be Strike Dagger.
For Gauntlet Buster, Spirit Beads Eradicator Nata. Unlike the others, Gauntlet Buster doesn’t have a Grade 0 for it. I chose Nata because they have a mini version of Gauntlet Busters effect.
Although any of the generic Eradicator grade 0 units work for it.
The Grade 1 units are next
For Sweep Command it would be Machinegun Eradicator Kantou.
For Dragonic Descendent it would be Sword Dance Eradicator Hisen.
For Gauntlet Buster it would be Lightning Fist Eradicator Dui.
For Vowing Sword it would be Deadly Eradicator, Ouei.
These units were chosen due to synergistic effects and or mentioning their respective grade three in text.
Kantou will call itself from soul when rode upon by the grade 2 I select for it. Whenever something is retired it and one other Eradicator you control will gain an additional 3K power for the turn.
Hisen will gain an extra 5K power when boosting Dragonic Descendent and at the end of that attack, it will restand.
It will also be important for the ride line.
Dui can be bound from the soul to give your Gauntlet Buster an additional effect for the turn if your opponents vanguard is a grade 3 or greater unit. Opposing rearguards that are retired during this turn are bound instead. When boosting a Gauntlet Buster, it gains an additional 5K power for the turn and at the end of the attack, it goes into the soul.
When a Grade 3 Eradicator is rode upon, Ouei will call itself from soul and you can retire one of your opponents rear guards. When it is locked, your vanguard gains an additional 10K power for the turn.
For the Grade 2 units I have selected them based upon synergy with their respective grade 3 units.
For Sweep Command it will be Homing Eradicator Rochishin.
For Dragonic Descendent it will be Supreme Army Eradicator Zuitan.
For Gauntlet Buster it will be Fiendish Sword Eradicator Cho-Ou.
For Vowing Sword it will be Lorentz Force Dragon.
Rochishin will call itself from soul when an opponents rear guard is retired by the effect of your Sweep Command. Whenever an opponents rearguard is retired, it and your Sweep Command Vanguard gain an additional 5K power for the turn.
If you have Strike Dagger and Hisen in your soul, you can ride a Dragonic Descendent using the effect of Zuitan. This is a foil to Ezel. When rode upon by Dragonic Descendent this way, call Hisen from your soul and your Vanguard loses one drive check for the turn.
Cho-Ou will be able to place an Eradicator rear guard into your soul to retire one of your opponents front row rearguards when placed. When rode upon by Gauntlet Buster, you can call Lightning Fist from your soul.
When rode upon by Vowing Sword, Lorentz Force can retire one of your opponents rear guards.
If your Eradicator rear guard is locked during your turn while Lorentz Force is in your soul, you can counter blast one to call it from your soul, then Lorentz Force and your vanguard will gain an additional 5K power for the turn.
Now for the Grade 3 units. They will have effects that have a lot of synergy with their ride line while paying homage to their original iterations.
Sweep Command Dragon when placed on your vanguard circle, retire one of your opponents back row rear guards. Whenever an opponents rear guard is retired, you can counter blast two to retire another rear guard in that column.
End of attack, bind an Eradicator First Thunder Dracokid from your soul, look at the top 10 cards of your deck, you can ride one Sweep Command Dragon from among then shuffle your deck.
Whenever an opponents rear guard is retired, you can place one of your Eradicator Rearguards into your soul to gain 5K power for the turn.
This mirrors the effect of First Thunder allowing you to ride a Sweep Command when something is retired by an effect but this time I made it so that it’s effect is apart of Sweep Command but requires the Grade 0. This is because Grade 0 units don’t typically have effects anymore. The extra power gain from the last effect can allow you to possibly do more attacks with your vanguard by placing additional copies of First Thunder into your soul. But it can also place Rochishin into your soul to allow you to call it when you do use the effect of Sweep Command. In theory you can do a lot of attacks and get a lot of drive checks doing this. But it is heavily counter blast expensive and requires you to run additional copies of the Grade 0 and Sweep Command. It requires a lot of pieces to work.
Now for Dragonic Descendent.
Once per turn
At the end of the battle this unit attacked an opponents grade 3 or greater vanguard, if this units attack did not hit, you can counter blast 1 and discard three Eradicator units from your hand to stand this unit and if you do this unit gains +1 critical for the turn.
When this units attack hit your opponents vanguard, retire one of your opponents rear guards.
Once per turn
If an opponents rearguard was retired this turn, you can counter blast 1 to add one Eradicator unit from your soul or drop to your hand.
This group of effects makes Dragonic Descendent a card that punishes your opponent for guarding but it requires a large amount of cards in hand to be discarded. That effect is the same as the first Dragonic Descendent. But if the attack did hit, then you can retire one of your opponents rear guards. This gives your opponent more incentive to guard your attack. If you had already retired something before you started to attack, then you can counter blast one to retrieve an Eradicator from your soul or drop to your hand to either fuel Descendents effect or play it as an additional attacker.
I put once per turns on this one because it had them on the original. That and to balance the card. Further support would be focused around if your attacks hit or don’t hit.
Now for Gauntlet Buster.
You can counter blast 2 to retire one of your opponents rear guards.
When an opponents rear guard is retired during your turn, this unit gains an additional 5K power.
If an opponents rearguard is bound during your turn, all of your Eradicator rearguards gain 5K power and this unit gains +1 critical for the turn.
If this units attack did not hit, you can add one of your bound Eradicator units to your hand, except Sentinels.
These effects are a homage to the original Gauntlet Buster. Gaining power and crit for every unit you retire during your turn. Not a once per turn either. As a result this unit can end a match very easily. But to make the card more fair, I added a condition to make that part of the effect live. You have to bind a card. That is where the grade 1 comes in. The grade one gives you extra power when boosting Gauntlet Buster which makes it harder to guard against. You can bind it from your soul to make it so that all of your opponents rearguards will be bound when retired during your turn. But your opponents vanguard has to be a grade 3 or greater unit to trigger it. If Gauntlet Busters attack did not land then you can add the bound grade 1 to your hand. When you play it you can then use the effect of the grade 2 to place it back into the soul to retire something. Now the conditions are met for you to use the effect again. This makes it so that Gauntlet Buster is meant to end games in a single attack but it won’t lose automatically if it gets hit by a sentinel.
Now for Vowing Sword and Vowing Saber
Vowing Sword, When placed on your vanguard circle, you can discard one Eradicator unit from your hand to add one Grade 3 Eradicator unit from your deck or drop to your hand.
When attacking if boosted, you can reveal one Grade 3 Eradicator unit in your hand to gain 13K power until the end of your turn thenIf your opponents vanguard is Grade 3 or greater, retire one of your opponents rearguards.
Vowing Saber Dragon Reverse,
When placed on the vanguard circle by riding a Vowing Sword, bind one Vowing Sword from your soul, retire one of your opponents rearguards and activate persona ride.
Ride the unit bound by this effect at the end of your turn.
You can lock one of your Eradicator rearguards to retire one of your opponents rearguards then if this card hasn’t gained a crit this turn, gain +1 crit.
When one of your rearguards is locked, draw one card.
At the end of the battle this unit attacked an opponents grade 3 or greater rear guard, you can return one of your locked Eradicator rearguards to your hand to counter charge one.
If it isn’t obvious these two are meant to work together. Vowing Sword when ridden will add Vowing Saber to hand by discarding an Eradicator. On your next ride phase you then ride the Vowing Saber which will then trigger persona ride and bind the Vowing Sword from soul. By locking an Eradicator rearguard, you can then retire an opponents rearguard and gain a single critical. Whenever you lock one of your own rear guards you then draw a card to make up for the loss in power. At the end of the turn you ride the Vowing Sword again. This in turn lets you add a Vowing Saber from your deck or drop to your hand again. The Grade 2 lets you retire an additional rearguard when you do this. Twice the value. At the end of the attack, you return a locked unit to hand to counter charge one. This fuels the grade 2 again.
@@SheruMuko I like the way your thinking love the idea for all the effects and effort you put in but just saying no offense but after all these rideline they've made they go what the characters using the deck rideline so well most likely pretty much get 2 options for rideline until grade3 but sorry I'm not trying to down your thinking I'm just saying this as my thoughts my bad if I offended you

We already have some angels that interacts with the damage zone already, but they're not that good
I want to play Ezel more but man it's rough, I'm really hoping for Platina and support similar to what The BLOOD and Glory Maelstrom got.
Stride deck sets I could definately see Altmile and Ahsha in relation to the 10 year anniversary of G Series. Also open to Gurguit since I loved playing that during G.
I personally think/hope that they would at least have 1 of every clan before making more popular past cards from the same clans. They just showed Doreen and Cocoa, so hopefully DI and OTT will be the next; maybe Amon and Amaterasu/Tsukuyomi. I'm personally waiting for my AF to come back!!!
Encounter Tachikaze to satisfy my engorge needs~
Roar~
I'm a simple man... I see Link Joker, I click
Since I'm a Lyrical main and a Bermuda main, I'll give my own little two cents on encounter.
I think Lauris has more points to her of being the stride deck set compared to Tirua, the only argument Tirua has is that she was a trial deck whereas Lauris was the main boss of G, Saya was her user aka our main Rep of BT in G, and she was a lot more generic even with Harmony, I don't understand some arguments that say Lauris won't come to G just because Friends is a thing they're close but theyre not the same.
As for encounters, I'm predicting a pattern of two Lyrical boss encounters a year, so I think 2025 will have Riviere for sure and either Raindear or Eternal Idol, Pacifica, or they might even do all three. If they don't put Eternal Idol next set, they could release her together with Shangri-la Coral for a double new boss form set just like Vermillion and Maelstrom. They're our most likely candidates so far, it's too early for Duos imo, Vert and Labrador don't have new forms outside of stride so they're in similar boats with Minerva where they'll probably just get a new Prism rear guard rather than a new form, the next Prism G3 is Garnet and she was her own boss like the other two I can't see them retraining her any time soon.
We roughly get 9-12 encounters a year. Each encounter set usually drops with 3 encounter bosses per set. PBO, dragonic overlord, MLB. Pbd and DO were kind of the outliers.
For me, here’s the likely ones;
Deck sets; Altmile and Ahsha
New Encounters; Tsukuyomi, Chaos breaker and either Asura Kaiser or Blaukluger.
New Lyrical encounter because they can’t help themselves; Lauris as a deck and Rivière.
Updated forms; Ezel, Coral, Pacifica
Ones I’d like; Darkface/Gredora, Chatnoir, Jewel Knight, Nociel, Scarlet Witch Coco, Gurguit, Ancient Dragons, Dudleys.
Amon yes please but most importantly gauntlet buster please
Lock on standard with only 1or 2 expected counter to it (both also encounters) will be either high resource based or meta immediately. A lot of decks keep a stable front row at end of turn for easy target. My only cure for star-vader lock is if it allows cards on the backrow to attack if front row is locked. It still penalizes most from gaining crest or persona power.
Bruh give me chaos breaker back dude was legit who got me into the game vanguard dont feel the same without him
While Victor would be neat, I also would like to see other old decks like Chaos-Breaker and Ezel. If they do bring Ezel back though, I do hope they make it so his decks cards have the 'gold paladin' clan piece as I'd rather not have keter pile Ezel spam or atleast make it so you can't run Cerragaon in the Ezel deck. In regards to Chaos Breaker, I actually would like him to have his limit break effect alongside the power boost from his v-series counter part due the various new defensive helpers from d-series alongside the new grade 1's from set 5 such as Summit Flare Dragon. Outside of those two, I'd love to see Asha and Daikaiser. If they ever do Legion encounter decks, I'd love to see Brawlers as even if it doesn't have the original Legion feature, we do have the new Legion Mate feature where the card can only be played if you have the needed vanguard so they could do something with that.
Regarding Ezel's new form I've been seeing folks talk about how they could put Platina with Great Daiyusha as the last two major limit breakers (not counting cards like goddess amaterasu adn illuminal because theres not been any support for them). But I really like the idea of Scissors and Chaos out together, I'd be hugely invested if that were to be the case.
i want to see all the different types of decks from the past get they own g zone in the future
Ah CBD, my fav artist Daisuke Izuka. Definitely will get it.
I'm betting on getting an encounter Riviere deck next year in the next Lyrical booster set. Might be partnered with a Eternal Idol Pacifica with Perla & Perle as her grades 1 & 2 in the same set if they do it like the Coral+Vert pair. But if they do that, then I'd expect Lyrical to be the last one to get a stride deck set in D.
I would love to see Beast Deities appear alongside Ezel and Chaos Breaker if they do come back in a set together, despite knowing that beast deities will probably have the same problem as Prism of not having enough names for the effects.
My cope pick would be Valkyron. Him and the other Shinemon originals were really fun to play so hoping for those. And speaking of V reminded me of my favorite V deck Nociel so coping we get that as well.
List of clans without full rideline encounters
DE, tachikaze, murakumo
DS, dark Irregular
BG, nova grappler
KS, OTT, angel feather,
SC, neo nectar, megacolony, great nature,
My personal wish for decks brought back as encounter are; OTT Amaterasu and Scarlet witch Coco, Sha Pal Witches Femme, Dark Irregular Sharhalott (Darkness Keyword), NovGra Beast Deity( asura kaiser has bastion as its copycat, restand when drive check get grade3)
As a left fields kind of encounter I’d love to see Scarlet Witch, Coco. She’s been my favorite card since set 2 of OG. I love how she played and her art. I’d go broke if that happened.
there is also the possibility of doing Ahsha vs Gavrail , and Altmile vs Fenris, just like they did with shiranui and luard, but the problem with that is the amount of Keter decks in that case.
Asha and altmile are no brainer for stride, but victor definitely feels very possible as kamui is a prominent character in G but is also the only member of Q4 who doesn’t have an encounter yet
honestly, I know it probably won't happen till after Link Joker stuff, but I really want my blue flame liberators back and not as legion this time around
V was the only time they made my Favorite Kagero Unit Dragonic Waterfall Amazing.
I know we'll never got a new version of him for D, cause he's so underrated, but I'm not that upset about it either. If anything, I'll love to see Blademaster getting a Stride Deck.
I honestly can’t see them choosing Ahsha and Altmile to get stride deck sets over Imaginary Gift Sets or as normal Persona Ride decks
Huh? Those were two of the original 3 decks in G. Why would they make them imaginary gift sets?
Fundamentally, their mechanics and playstyle were not actually that popular or well received by a lot of their fans, instead preferring how they were handled in V. Altmile players despise Brave and Ahsha players are very split on Bloom vs Flower Fairy. Yes they were popular decks to play but they came with their caveats in G compared to V
@@pyralockhart645 very clueless opinion. We see time and again if they want something back to standard, they will regardless of mechanic or any reason you can come up with. Is daiyusha using set order back in the day ????? They can easily revamp the mechanic or tune down of some sort. It just a matter of rolling the wonder wheel and pick a lucky candidate.
Ok but like we are not Bushiroad right. I’m just saying this from the perspective of most of the Ahsha and Altmile players. Yes it’s unrealistic but we can’t see them doing the stride route with any amount of changes with just how well received and their other variations are. Not only is it a no brainer but it’s what would sell more fundamentally. We didn’t see a Revamp to dominate being changed to Tokens in Standard like V either so we can’t realistically see them doing any substantial rework to Brave and Bloom
@@pyralockhart645 on the flip side its also very easy to make them marketable. Sure their ability can feel lukewarm but they can just print broken promos down the line and profit again. And solely judging from the fact this much people asking for them, theres must definitely a market to explore.
I want Musketeer D Series decks
For Lyrical i think they will release Eternal Idol Pacifica and maybe something for Labrador to keep up with the trend that they made with Lyrical 4 where all the ride decks from 2 sets before get a new form
Im pretty sure eventually they will bring Stride deckset outside G trial decks. I genuinely want Break ride card's to be back with Daikaiser, Dauntless, Mordred etc also having abilities that plays similarly to their OG counterpart. For me Perditions, Descendant, Dauntless, Burnout, Nouvelle is in my Wish list.
i want to see all the different types of deck get higher shield value in the future
The Doreen reveal gave me hope for an Amon encounter.
Honestly, I think it'd make a lot of sense if they made encounter versions of Cecilia, Salome and Raging Form to match up with the Premium decks.
i want to see all the different types of decks that a from the past get they order cards in the future
Amon, Shirayuki and Raindear are the only units I want for encounter
I feel like DI and OTT are guaranteed next year seeing as they randomly got a single card in DZ-06 and it'd be weird to release a DI and OTT card and not give them their own full deck for an entire year.
I would love to see Scharhrot for DI, but it's most likely gonna be Amon or some other "Early Vanguard" boss unit since Doreen only works without a G-Zone.
I want to see my boy spectral duke dragon
I hope to see Beast Deities personally but I wouldn't complain with more DP stuff
For the Stride Deck Set, four options: Altmile, Ahsha, Blademaster, and Lauris (Lyrical deserved one)
For the non-G Encounters
Keter: Alfred/Amaterasu/Nociel
Dragon: Dragonic Descendant/Shirayuki/Magatsu (Nubatama)
Brandt: Raizer/Daikaiser/Star-vader (I hate them but if they a skill that unlock at the end of your turn to get bonus, I accept it)
Dark: Amon (Sorry but Gear is G Era, Pale Moon is the second Bermuda Triangle, and Spike Bros... Sorry)
Stoicheia: Musketter/Leopald/Seven Seas/Blue Wave
Lyrical: Reit
I hope for an Asha encounter for the sole reason that it'll be the first Zoo encounter.
We have every clan from Magallanica and still not 1 Zoo encounter?! They couldn't even give Zoo the random 1 off encounter support card and just made it Dancing Cutlass. I get that Zoo is probably the least popular nation but it feels weird to have the other nations almost completely represented at this point with not even a hint of a Zoo card on the horizon.
i want to see all future decks get they own g zone
I think I kinda wanted Asha/Almine for Stride Deckset and Beast Deity/Chaos Breaker for new encounters.
i still hope for great daiyusha next year but daikaiser would be awesome too !!! for strides hopefully altmile and asha and my cope pick would be dauntless drive dragon
I'm resigned to CBD being the face of classic Link Joker at this point, it's just become too iconic, but I'll never not point out that Nebula Lord represented much healthier design philosophy for the clan and should be held as the standard for Link Joker design. Offensive buffs based on the act of locking, even if those locks are in the back row, are much less frustrating to play against than defensive buffs based on keeping a triangle lock secured forever.
I hope we do get an eternal idol pacifica, also vert should have been Labrador support, but they unfortunately name locked all the prism units.
Also i would expect us to get riveria soonish.
i want to see great nature in D
if cbd come as standard encounter, messiah might get new crest where its lock won't force unlock
Still hoping Gancelot and Alfred on D. I just with bushi make the old deck that have "rideline" became D Starter deck like Amber Dragon, Blau (Blaupanzer, Blaukluger, Stern Blaukluger) and Galahad. I think the most realistic deck that will come in near future is jewel knight for keter, because it the first main set after asia circuit. I think we can still get some deck from end of Asia Circuit arc with Musketeer too.
If we look to Legion era, what about the Duo girls, the Perdition Dragons, maybe a new Overlord form in The Great?? ;p
Didn’t Jewel Knights and Revengers get an updated Stride set lately??
I can imagine legion with persona ride in this meta, most skill were glory skill, and pg aren't grade 0 again so... my avatar pudding can return again and other stuff, also works with the cocoa they already reveal.
my whole Heart and soul + time as a vanguard player is want Gurguit in standard Stride would be most likely but would like V version, also Would love Beast Deity, Raizers, Ashura or even Blau would be sick
Crossing fingers for Tirua stride deckset in the future.
I honestly would love for chaos breaker to come he's my favorite unit I would be absolutely hyped to buy him
If we can get star Vader I hope we can also see deletors make a return
We need Angel feather
Honestly for the stride decksets, other than a lyrical one and altime and ahsha, mentor figure deckset pairings are imo the most likely
Obviously kamui with victor, and strangely enough 3 mentor figures I can think of are all dragon empire: blademaster (kagero), yasuie (shin), and vanquisher (ryutaro)
I am kinda hoping for Schwartzchild over chaos breaker since the original costs felt like they could fit in better with standard, Shirayuki and Nociel would also be welcomed.
i want to see all the g series decks to come back in the future
Im hoping they do ancient dragons or rex for the tachikaze encounter deck
Copium tachi noises
Indeed
I predict for the stride decks either Asha and Altmile or Thavas and Scharhrot. Even though Scharhrot was a booster box deck. Lets get some actual Dark Irregulars representation.
Sees CBD thumbnail.
Hears about Legion maybe coming back to standard.
Blaster Joker Legion standard anyone? XD
man Lyrical need stride deck set :(
Mordred , gancelot , altmile , ahsha , claret sword , soooo much
I'd like to see my queen riviere come back as a non stride deck
Speakin of Breakrides. Can we get the Breakride Phantom Blaster Dragon and possibly Dragonic Overlord Breakride. Their original forms are now just played for the name and powercrept out.
I hope they do rising nova and it somehow uses diabolos in some way...
I dont think the problem with legion would be stepping on the toes of Razael. Razael has the heal part and can place more than 4 crits back. The real problem is triggers are more impactful in D. 10k power is just too much to keep putting 4 back every turn.
DUKE. THE LEGEND WILL RISE AGAIN!
Tirua will definitely make a comback we was more successful than lauris, and regardless of her being name centered.
For tirua i think bushiroad can always go the haserrit route and just use the same mechanic.
She's similar to coral because of her being name dependent, so i dont see a reason as to her being ruled out other than nostalgia of G anime, she can be a stride deckset since her engine the ange tirua engine was what made bermuda formidable at the end of G.
Im predicting she will be the other lock counter along with ezel.
