We have been busy with school, haha!
Today's Friday~~~ Gonna post on what I think about the Booster 5 cards revealed so far!!
(Majesty Blaster Lord's effect still not revealed... Sigh)
Overview:
BT05 is really gonna be a new era. With evolving Grade 3s, the new 13k Vanguards, and even the new mechanic "Bind".
13k for Vanguard makes it harder for attacks to go through. That means Rear-guards should aim to have 18k set ups, and your Vanguard should aim for that too, if not able to go on to 23k. Of course, with Palomides, Marhaus, Executioner, Bedivere, Masquerade, 8k or even 9k Boosters, it won't be too hard to hit 18k...
Bind is a new mechanic introduced by Euryale, a Grade 3 Oracle Think Tank (OTT) Unit. Bind basically means that you select a card in the opponent's hand (I assume this is at random) and then you put it face-down somewhere, and you can't use it for card effects, guarding, etc, for that turn. This is painful if you lock down a Nullifier or maybe even a Mandala Lord.
Nowadays most of the Grade 3s are Vanguard only effects... sigh.
Rough guide of cards released:
- Lots and lots and lots of Neo Nectar. Their effects are based on getting out more Rear-guards for effects. They're getting 1 of each Trigger type.
- Murakumo quite a lot also... Trigger ratio is also 1 of each type.
- Pale Moon: a suckish Grade 3, lame Grade 1 and 2, WHOOHOO A NEW STAND TRIGGER
- Dark Irregulars: A DRAW TRIGGER!!!! And a 10k Booster, but they already have 9k Booster with the same criterion and a Doreen which can go way more that just 10k. Beelzebub is like... ok, but meh.
- Oracle Think Tank: The Clan to introduce the new mechanic, Bind!! And it's gonna have 12 Crit soon.
- Shadow Paladin: Getting their 13k Vanguard - PBO!! And a bunch of other things revolving around PBO... And their own version of Lohengrin, and their own Kirara... AND A CRITICAL TRIGGER!!!
- Kagero: Just some cards to support that DOTE...
- Dimension Police: GETTING A STAND TRIGGER CAN TRASH LIAO and the Grade 3 is really mass Standing spammage.
- Nova Grappler: I wonder why they're giving Nova a new Draw Trigger... and Top Gun is lame... but Street Bouncer is interesting.
- Royal Paladin: I <3 Royal Paladin <3 <3 <3 ok back to topic, they're getting a 13k Vanguard too, Majesty Lord Blaster, but it's effect is still unknown so I can't comment on it. They're getting a new Starter too (forever getting Starting Vanguards wahaha) and lots of foils. Be prepared to splurge.
Argh I keep spamming caps for new Triggers. Wahaha. Actually, I think Triggers are very important to building a deck, hence... :P
(I won't include the effects and other info to save space... and I'm lazy to do so :P and I won't cover every card, I'll only mention those that I feel like mentioning... cause I'm lazy :P)
Star Call Trumpeter - for lolicons. Right now, as of the cards revealed, Blaster Blade's the only possible target for this card's effect. However, this card's a RRR, and seeing Wingal Brave, I think there'll be more Blaster Units soon. If not in BT05, maybe PR, maybe BT06 or even the new Trial Decks?
PBO - The 13k Vanguard for Shadow Paladins. It's effect is quite good, but considering that it's when you're attacking, the opponent can just drop a Nullifier and that's it.
DOTE - The 13k Vanguard for Kagero. It's effect is only when the attack hits, and you Stand this Unit. Better than Dragonic Overlord and Stern Blaukruger in a way, since you don't lose Twin Drive!!
Miracle Beauty - This effect is amazing. Dimension Police have 8 Stand now, increasing the chance of Standing this Unit. And Standing this Unit is just like getting 2 Stand Triggers, since you get to Stand the Rear-guard behind this Unit.
Maiden of Trailing Rose - This effect's nice. Just CB 1 and drop this card from the hand and look at top 5 cards of deck (sounds like Galahad/Tsukuyomi Superior Riding...) and Call up to 2 Neo Nectar from those 5 cards. Of course, Neo Nectar is able to build a pure deck, just choose the best ones to Call! And if there's Triggers, they'll be shuffled back into the deck, so it's not really an issue.
Stealth Fae Midnight Crow - This is interesting. CB 2 to Call this same Unit although it returns to the bottom of the deck at the end of the turn, 8k attacker only, but still useful.
Stealth Ogre of Haori, Shanaou - Interesting effect too, Murakumo has the weirdest effects ever. This seems to be anti-Blockade.
Wingal Brave - This seems to hint that there'll be more Blaster Units. Definitely for searching out the new Majesty Lord Blaster though.
Ok I shall end here cause I'm lazy haha!
