Cardfight! Vanguard Start  Deck Summaries

 

Playstyle: Aggro

This is the very first deck that was revealed for the Standard format, and it is currently used by Yu-yu Kondo in the anime. This deck revolves around attacking the opponent with high numbers per attack, while playing around with the overDress keyword to create strong Vairina variants that have powerful abilities.

Nirvana players are able to get to key pieces relatively quickly due to the immense draw power that certain cards have. It’s very simple to play, and it’s very accessible as it has been released in the readily available

 Start Deck 01: Yu-yu Kondo -Holy Dragon-!

The deck itself can be quite Counter-Blast hungry, and also relies on drawing into overDress units in order to pressure the opponent. In Order to make sure that the deck doesn’t run out of steam, Nirvana players have to play aggressively and try their best to end the game quickly

 

Playstyle: Combo

Looking for some EXCITING gameplay? Look no further than the arena of Dark States, filled with fans that are chanting the name of the most famous Gallows Ball team: Diabolos! Played by the intense leader of Team Blackout Danji Momoyama, this deck is one that requires lots of planning and resource management, but once the conditions are met for the “Final Rush”, the deck will be able to turn against the tide and lead the way to victory!

This deck is filled with cards that synergise with the signature keyword “Final Rush”, unlocking their true potential when it is active. Cards in this deck are readily available in the

Start Deck 02: Danji Momoyama -Tyrant Tiger- and in the first Booster Set.

 

Playstyle: Aggro

We now head to the floating city in the sky that resides in Keter Sanctuary to meet the Cloud Knights. This deck is extremely powerful, being able to beat down on the opponent the moment that Bastion enters the battlefield. Furthermore, there are many powerful rear-guards that support Bastion in decimating the opponent early in the game, such as Alden and Fosado.

In the anime, it is very clear that Tohya has been a formidable opponent because of his prowess in using Bastion. This deck is also very accessible, having supporting cards available in

Start Deck 03: Tohya Ebata -Apex Ruler- and in the first Booster Set.

Players will need to be careful against other aggressive decks when using Bastion, though, as this deck relies heavily on Grade 3s that do not have much defensive value.

 

Playstyle: Aggro

We now traverse the lands of Stoicheia, where we meet the magnificent Sylvan Beasts that roam the forested regions of the nation. While these units are adorable and regal in nature, they are a formidable force to fight against on the battlefield.

This deck aggressively attacks the opponent, being able to attack up to four times the moment Magnolia enters the field! Furthermore, when Persona Ride has occurred, Magnolia’s full potential is unlocked, allowing the player to attack up to six times with their units! In the anime, Megumi Okura has shown that this deck is not something to be looked down upon. Cards in this deck can be found in the

 Start Deck 04: Megumi Okura -Sylvan King-.

This deck does require careful resource management as it is very difficult to regain the necessary resources to push for victory if such resources were not stockpiled earlier.

 

Playstyle: Control

Looking over to the icy terrain of Brandt Gate, we see the Aurora Battle Princesses fighting their battles of justice against evildoers.

These units focus their power around a Set Order known as a Prison, which allows them to Imprison the opponent’s rear-guards within the Prison. These cards may only be released from the Prison if the opponent pays a cost during their turn. The more cards left in the Prison, the better it is for Seraph Snow players. They will slowly be able to win the battle, controlling the flow of the game in their favour. It is very clear that this deck is not one to be trifled with, as seen by how Tomari Seto has played this deck in the anime.

While this deck may struggle against decks that can resist the power of Prison, it is still able to fight well against others by removing the opponent’s units from the field consistently. Overall, this deck requires lots of planning in order to ensure a decisive victory. Seraph Snow players can easily find their cards in Start Deck 05: Tomari Seto -Aurora Valkyrie-.

 

The former nation of Magallanica consisted of Aqua Force, Granblue and Bermuda Triangle. Instead of joining the other two clans in Stoicheia, Bermuda Triangle took a different path, forming their own nation:

Lyrical Monasterio!

This nation consists of a city-state residing on top of a gigantic flying whale, and many divas and idols call this city their home! Lyrical Monasterio welcomes any aspiring idol to their
nation, regardless of their race or background. Whether you’re a mermaid, dragoroid, angel, warbeast, human or vampire, Lyrical Monasterio is more than willing to accept you!

In this first set of Lyrical Monasterio, there are a multitude of decks for you to try out! Furthermore, there are also an assortment of Over Triggers and Perfect Guards with different illustrations for you to choose based on your liking!
