Today's Troll Card 30th November 2011

Where we post cards and start trolling about them!!
Today's card will be Today's Card of the Day on the Vanguard website: Sage of Guidance, Zenon.

http://bushiroad.fm/slide/en/3591/3591.html

Sage of Guidance, Zenon
Normal Unit
Grade 1/Boost
Power: 6 000
Critical: 1
Shield: 5 000
United Sanctuary - Royal Paladin
Race: Giant
Effect:
自(Auto): When this Unit is Called to a Rear-guard Circle, and your Vanguard is a <Royal Paladin>, reveal the top card of your deck. If that card is a <Royal Paladin> with the same Grade as your Vanguard, Ride it over your Vanguard. If not, send it to the Drop Zone.

Oh, and have we mentioned that pope man is the only SP (Special Print) in Extra Booster 1?

Seriously, what?
Unless you're really lucky, what are the odds that you'll reveal the card you need?
When you're at Grade 3, it'll be great if you can reveal the card you need (e.g. Soul Saver Dragon when there's 4 Soul) but if you get a Trigger or something, it's all wasted.

The VanTroll!! team have been hard on our heads to come up with possibilities that this card could have its uses, and we thought of 2 Oracle Think Tank cards: Battle Sister Cocoa and CEO Amaterasu. These cards can check the top card, right? But the Vanguard must be an Oracle Think Tank, which goes against our dear Zenon's criteria of a Royal Paladin Vanguard.
I mean, imagine this...
You have a CEO Amaterasu as the Vanguard, you Soul Charge, check the top card, it's a Soul Saver Dragon, you Call Zenon, reveal top card, over-Ride Soul Saver Dragon, and bazaaaaaaam, your opponent goes, "WTF?!" (The Aichi's epic but useless additional sound effects: Soul Saver Dragon Holy Charging Roar! Opponent: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz =.= )
But of course, that's only possible, if there was a "If you have a <insert Clan here> Vanguard" phrase in the card effects.
Seriously, it's only useful for people with Psyqualia. Maybe this was Ren's ace card before he switched to Shadow Paladins.

Here's a VanTroll!! omake...(inspired by the otaku, The Aichi)
Ren, who was an RP user before turning evil, was on a date with Kai. Kai happened to see Extra Booster 1 on sale, so he bought a booster pack for Ren. Ren opened the pack and saw Zenon. He thought it looked hot, as hot as Kai was (or maybe Kai's hotter?), so he put it into his deck full of hot guys. And a hot dragon. And during a duel, through Psyqualia, he sensed that the next card was Soul Saver Dragon, so he Called Zenon, and through the power of the card which represented Kai's love, Rode Soul Saver, and totally KO-ed the opponent.
~The end~

(Extra from The Aichi~) Here is how the VanTroll!! team would like Bushiroad to change the card's effects to.
When this Unit is Called to a Rear-guard Circle, reveal the top card of your deck. If that card is with the same Grade as your Vanguard (not necessarily same clan), Ride it over your Vanguard. If not, return it to your deck and shuffle. If Bushiroad made the effects as such, this card will be included in A LOT of mixed decks, resulting in pure overkill... xD Can you imagine the possibilities?! If you are playing a Tsukuyomi build and you miss Grade 3, you can use this card and over ride Tsukuyomi grade 3(directly from the deck and even better if you call a Cocoa to check the top card and it just so happens to be on the top). If it is a Trigger, it won't be wasted because you can return it to the deck and shuffle.

Of course, we do realise that there's 1 possible use for this card. Other than using the card to soak up that cup of Coke/Pepsi/Milo/pee that you spilled.
For a troll deck!!
How it works: Make your opponent laugh by revealing all of those useful cards - Isolde and Triggers - or revealing a Gigantic Charger and you end up with a 9k Vanguard and you can go, "WTF!!" and you have to do another Check of the top card but at least you get a free Rear Guard in exchange :)
Remember to always have at least 4 Soul Saver Dragons to increase the chance of getting it!!
... No I'm kidding, you can only have 4.
How about going Morikawa style? A deck full of Grade 3s, then when you check the top card, chances of it being Grade 3 is really high. Worth a shot hmm? Only thing is, what if you end up Riding a shitty card?
Oh ya go stock up on Gigantic Chargers too. Remember, you can get free Rear Guards in exchange for losing 2 cards from your deck so you can deck out faster :) Oh and end up with a 9k Vanguard which can be hit more easily.

On the other hand, this card's pretty cool-looking too, don't ya think? ;)

Zenon: HOLY CHARGING BALL!!

Self-Intro of the VanTroll team! :D

Minna Konbanwa~! (Good evening everyone =] ) We are the VanTroll team and here is just something a little more in depth for those of you who want to know more about us. To make the idea a little clearer for you, we have done our best to fit ourselves into one of the members in team Q4 (For those of you who haven't watched the anime, yes * points * you are the one don't look away now I am talking to YOU!... go watch the anime :3 ) We will probably be ranting a lot about the anime and cards and will be making references so please I do urge you to watch it  ^^ Anyways, we have selected 2 people which we feel suit us the best. Disclaimer: We are being truthfully honest here and did not select the specific character because we like him/her... on the contrary...we don't, but feel that whoever it is  is closest to our personality and playing style...oh and we may also not necessarily play the same deck as the character. Ok enough of the talk and blabber. Let's bring out the intros!

VanTroll member 1: The Kamui (Ore-sama type)

Personality: Hyper, a bit childish and likes to add in unique sound effects when fighting (PIACK!) Has a good knowledge of cards and rarely holds back in a fight. (kamui mah....) Strong sense of loyalty and good sense of fun. The one who explains card effects and provides strategies for me to experiment with =D

Main deck clan: Royal Paladin * surprise surprise xD

Likes: Getting double crit in fights and trashing opponents. Hates: Anime healing during fights...especially when final turn is declared and the opponent HAS to get a heal for 6th damage. 

VanTroll member 2: The Aichi ( The ORIGINAL Aichi. Not the stupid evil weird psyqualia crazy Aichi ) This decision was made based on playing skills and solely playing skills. I can be considered the weakest in the team, like the original Aichi in Q4 and still have a lot to learn and am still learning from the other member, aka VanTroll member one, the Kamui, like Aichi. 

Personality: With that being said, do not expect me to be anything like Aichi in terms of personality. I take fights seriously and always do my best.(Although I still have a long way to go....xD) I am an Otaku ( hence the japanese greeting in the beginning ^o^ ) and also a procrastinator. But don't worry, I'll do my best to update this. I do tend to get nervous and worried when fighting against other stronger players especially in tournaments, but I'll do my best cos I want to win and if I lose, I will just try to learn from my mistakes and try to improve.( That's why I am the Aichi... ) 

Deck clans: Dark Irregulars and Oracle Think Tank. ( It's a weird but fun combination =.= )

Likes: Getting double crit or stands in fights. Hates: Opponent getting double or triple crits [Ironic right?....]

So yeah there you have it! The VanTroll team! Together, we are the TrollFighters! Trololololol~ Please do look forward to our future reviews on cards, decks and of course the anime. Arigato! 

The Aichi~

(a little extra from Kamui-sama~~)
Hello, I'd like to include something here, I LOVE ROYAL PALADINS A LOT. Haha :P Andandand, this Aichi here tends to get double Crit by people, don't know why...that's why she hates it :D
Oh and I actually do quite like Kamui, he's so cute!!!! :D
Ok done spazzing bye.

Hello~~ First post yeah

Hello everyone out there!! Here's just two fanatics of this super awesome anime and card game, Cardfight!! Vanguard! We enjoy joking around a lot, that's why this blog's to troll about this game. We enjoy this game and anime too, go check it out if you haven't!!

Mainly we'll post about the decks, Clans, strategies, etc, and our rants on this and that on the game and especially the anime. Because we enjoy it so much, we find a lot of faults with it!! Like how they keep doing only 1 Drive Check even at Grade 3, and finally when Misaki needs a Trigger, she'll finally do that Twin Drive!! (episode 46)

Ok, I guess that's all, haha!!

Do keep checking this blog, we'll try our best to update it regularly!! :D
