@Commander_Jaime Ya the core looked great. It’s been a lot of fun seeing all the cores you’ve gotten. Hopefully next year I can also go and we can have a battle with decks like this

@GRIMWAVE I KNOW RIGHT!? I was NOT expecting that. Like even the deck core itself was really good.

Last Japan pickup. 🇯🇵🔥 ZTB deck core (90% complete)… and then I see a Zeroth Dragon. Dust in the G Zone.😳 Yeah… this might be the best one. G-era players know.👀 Also made a Tokyo/Japan guide (TCG + anime spots) 👇 #cardfightvanguard #japan #akihabara #tokyo #gformat

@Commander_Jaime Another cool deck pickup. The SP is pretty cool.

Another Japan pickup 🇯🇵🔥 Shiranui (Nubatama) deck core. Afterimage era, hand control, and pure resource pressure. This deck was TOXIC back in the day. 😤 Also made a Tokyo/Japan guide (TCG + anime spots) 👇 #cardfightvanguard #japan #akihabara #tokyo #shiranui #gformat

@Commander_Jaime The set with Welstra did have FFRs but the SPs were from that anniversary set with Gheva, Magnolia, Youthberk, and I can’t remember who else lol.

@GRIMWAVE Oh yeah they started doing the Frame right?

15th Anniversary Vanguard merch from Japan. 🇯🇵🔥 Picked this up at the official store in Akihabara, you can insert your own card into the stand. Clean display for collectors. If you went, what card are you putting in this? Also made a Tokyo/Japan guide (TCG + anime spots) 👇

@Commander_Jaime Ya the SPs from that set were 🔥. Now I wanna track down one of the frames lol.

@GRIMWAVE That would look banger too! Great choice! 🔥

@Commander_Jaime Goated find

🌊 I found a FULL Aqua Force deck core in Japan 🇯🇵 Lambros + Alexandros + stride package…👀 Japan TCG hunting is on another level. Also made a Tokyo/Japan guide (TCG + anime spots) 👇 #cardfightvanguard #aquaforce #stoicheia #japan #akihabara #tokyo #vanguardpremium #gformat

I'll send you a One Wish Willow. All you need to do is follow me & RT this. Will pick one winner & send this weekend. onewishwillow.com

@Commander_Jaime This is my current build. It felt very solid in all my testing and I was able to consistently see my pieces. The parrot also helps ensure the deck is not in deck out range and allows for longer games. Once could make an argument for more forcalor but 2 has felt perfect.

@GRIMWAVE Yeah that actually sounds really solid. That banish removal into fish matchup and the consistency makes a lot of sense, and finishing on Nextage is always scary. Definitely gonna have to keep an eye on Chrono now. 👀

@Commander_Jaime I’d definitely say so if the pilot knew all their match ups. Especially with the format switching. It handled full power fish as it essentially banishes all the philanders. It has very consistent early rush and draw power throughout the game. Plus finishing with Nextstage is peak

@GRIMWAVE That consistency boost for Chrono sounds really nice, especially for locals. And yeah board removal like that can be super hard for a lot of decks to deal with. Do you feel like Chrono could hold up at bigger events too or more of a locals sleeper pick?

@Commander_Jaime Not including fish or Eva. say the two I’ve had the most fun with are Chrono and Arms. The RR for Chrono along with the parrot from festival add so much consistency to the deck. I think it’s a very solid locals pick and not a lot of decks can deal with the board removal.

@GRIMWAVE Yeah that’s actually a really good breakdown. I feel you on hostage package & Deeplands, that one hurt for sure. Eva feels like a safe pick. Orfist not bricking anymore sounds scary though ha. Between everything you’ve tested so far, what’s been your favorite deck overall?

@Commander_Jaime Chronos support is actually peak and I’ve really enjoyed playing the deck again.

@Commander_Jaime fun to play and I really love his new form. Just wish the arms were always 10k shield. Messiahs support is such a double edged sword and I really don’t like it lmao. As for dark states I’ve really been enjoying the castle deck and testing it with Alan.

@Commander_Jaime I was hard on the fish grind. I really love the deck and especially the hostage package in it. Sad it got hit already lol. Other than that though I still play Eva a lot and have just been testing any Brandt/Dark States decks that got support in set 12.

@GRIMWAVE Appreciate it bro! 🔥 What you playing lately? 👀

@deckscavate 🔥🔥🔥 They look great brother.

All 4 ars FFR now
