Standard Budget Deck: Divine Gauge (Genesis)

   

There's more than one Genesis player here

Did you ever want to build a deck with reasonably affordable waifus tied to Greek and Norse mythology? Have you ever wanted to call down a board but were in fear over your opponent's control options against it? Have you ever thought to yourself, "Man, wouldn't it be cool if my board couldn't be touched whilst still allowing me to get the big swings and restands other popular decks have?" Well do I have the deck for you!

Premium Budget Deck: (True) Ancient Dragons

This one's for you friend

Tachikaze, and more specifically Ancient Dragon was the first deck I had fully built in real life after reading Tachi's post and discussing ideas with him online. While I did move away from the clan after ADs fell out of relevancy, I would still play games casually with the deck and with V Series coming around I had always hoped a reboot would give the archetype another moment in the spotlight. And here we are, six years from that point, with new cards promoting the aggressive playstyle of the past. 

Budget Deck: Genesis (Revelation)

Now that the hype for Genesis has died down, Ishtar and Amaruda are both $3, and everything else from Set 11 is dirt cheap. Hellsky is pretty easy to grab as well, and is only about $10.  Amaruda Revelation is quite strong and easy to pick up, so I think it's a proper time to write about it.

Amaruda's gameplan is pretty simple. Stride into Ishtar, beef up your columns, stack the deck with Revelation, and then go for five attacks. Rinse and repeat. Five powerful attacks absolutely melts, and this ends up making Ishtar your first stride, midrange stride, and finisher. Plan B is, if you're way behind on card advantage, striding into Hellsky for draws.

Budget Deck: Murakumo (Magatsu Shadowstich)

At the beginning of stride era, before The Genius Strategy, Yasuie lists would actually use the Magastu ride chain quite often. Providing the deck with an early game has always been something we strive for in vanguard. After The Genius Strategy, essentially every list dropped Magastu in favor of the Shadowstich support. And since then, Magastu has been practically nonexistent as a deck. Instead, I worked out a build that didn't use the Magastu legion, but used Shadowstich support. And it works.

Deck Spotlight: Seal Dragon Overlords

So

I felt like rebuilding my Re-Birth deck, since Breakride DO went down in price. Came up with this list.

Budget Deck: Bermuda Triangle (Trois)

Back at it again with the waifu clans.

Well, it's summertime so I thought that it would be the perfect time to cover our favorite ladies of the ocean!

Jokes aside, I've been wanting to cover Bermudas for awhile and decided to write now that all of the new G-Clan Booster cards have been confirmed. While generic builds sorta got the short end of the stick in the last booster, I still think they are pretty strong.

Budget Deck: Dark Irregulars (Blade Wings)

Hey guys! Welcome to Summer Break!

Along with Summer(Hallelujah), Glorious Bravery of Radiant Sword is on the horizon. Some great clans got some sweet support(Some clans even got some new keywords!) and I've decided to cover them all!

First up? Dark Irregulars!

Dark Irregulars got the Darkness keyword this set. If a card enters your soul, with the exception of riding, all Darkness abilities will become active until end of turn. Darkness support, as of now, is pretty good and quite easy on the wallet. Perfect for a budget deck. But! I was never really a fan of Scharhot Vampir, which Darkness support was obviously catered to, nor interested in playing him. Conveniently, another archetype that got support in GBT-07 caught my eye.

Budget Deck: Murakumo (Yasuie)

Nin! But he looks more like samurai...

What do you say for samurai? Oh whatever

Murakumo... is a clan I did not think would be much good, but some playtesting has totally changed my mind. It's incredibly fun and a lot more effective than I initially thought. Creating a huge mob of both frontrow and backrow attackers with Kagamijishi is incredibly fun and devastating to the opponent.

Everything in Murakumo is dirt cheap, since everyone has looked away from them. They are really underestimated in my opinion and have plenty of potential, and could actually become a force to be reckoned with once the new Technical Booster comes out.

I wanted to wait until the new Technical Booster came out before writing a blog... but I got impatient and started writing anyways. So here it is! The long, awaited Murakumo blog!

Tips: Blaster Engine

Llew and Friends are finally back with

even more blaster support!

With the release of GBT-06 Royal Paladin decks got a HUGE boost of power with the new Favored Pupil of Light and Dark, Llew. It tutors any Grade 2 Blaster at the cost of itself during the battle phase. It is just plain awesome. And guess what? There isn't that little Generation Break restriction on it. Think of it like a Knight of Twin Sword, but with loads more utility.

The only problem about Llew? Blaster Blade is about $15-20 (Lucky you if you held on to your copies all these years.) But fear not! Your wallets will be safe, my fellow Royal Paladin players, and you will not be denied your new support. We have another, more budget-friendly option.

Budget Deck: Aqua Force (Ripples)

      Hey guys. My name's Robot Victor Chang. I'm a new writer here on Budgetfight Vanguard and I'm happy to be here.

Hello!

Budget Deck: Tachikaze (Ancient Dragons)

About time I made this blog.

Ancient Dragons are the "bomb". They can rush, they can crit, if they felt like it they could (But shouldn't) tank.

But the main big deal here is the rush.

Rush, is one of the best tricks in Vanguard right now. The G-era promotes rushing very much, and the strategy works very, very very well. Nowadays the game doesn't become hyper until people Stride. By rushing instead, they can hyper play earlier, resulting in a ton of damage going straight into your opponent's face while they get to do... well, nothing.

Anyway, the point here is that ADs have one of the best rushes in the entire game, and they're budget, so they're defenitely a very good budget deck.

Budget Deck: Gold Paladins (Liberators)

Tachiagare, Boku no Bunshin!

Liberators, the "clan" that superior calls from the top few cards of the deck. People complain that this clan is Lackluster and needs luck. And while this is true, it isn't going to a long extent.

Gold Paladins have the effect of gaining effects whenever a RG is called from the deck, powering up from the number of Rear-Guards, etc.

So firstly, the unit we have to talk about is Prominence Core. My god this is an amazing card. The Legion skill is just there, your real point is that second skill. You can CB1, retire 1, to check the top 4 cards and call a RG. This is a perfect effect to fix your bad calls (Called a Grade 2 to the back row with Aglo) and consistently call a RG every turn. It means that Bruno powers up, you get a potential crit effect, etc.
