Deck Analytics Part 1

This is the first and hopefully one of the many deck analysis that I would put up. I am not at all a pro, so take my comments with a grain of salt and a large dose of your own opinion. If you have any views or opinions, please post them in the comment section! Thanks!

This is the Decklist that had won the Vanguard Fight Championship 2012 Seniors in Japan. I am Going to attempt to analyze the deck, so that we would be able to gain more insights into deck construction. Of course what I think may not actually be correct, if you have other perspective or noticed any errors, please comment below so that I can add in or make any changes. The purpose of this deck analysis is not to encourage netdecking, I still think that you should construct your deck according to your playstyle. However, by taking a look at other decks, we hope to gain insights which allow us to create our own personal decks better. :)

Now, general deck idea would seem to be a beatdown deck. With 12 criticals, the deck tries to create columns that hit the magic number to pressure your opponent. With the 12 critical triggers, your opponents will be forced into more pressure.

So let's Start with the Grade 3s.

4 Alfreds and 3 Palomides. Palomides is straight forward beatdown. Together with the Marrons and Toypugals, you will have your 21k and 22k columns to force your opponents into a 15k guards if their vanguard is 10k/11k. Alfred with a full field will be 20k, meeting the min of a magic number, with 4 rearguards, 18k, meeting the magic number for crossrides. You are also able to use his counterblast to finish making your ideal field.

About the Grade 2s.

Now the first thing you may notice is the 5 10k vanilla. Now, currently the 10k vanillas may not be as useful in our english meta as the Japanese, as we do not have any crossrides yet. The 10k Vanillas, together with Marrons and Toypugals will meet 18k, the first magic numbers for crossrides. With the rampant running of DOTE in the Japanese meta, this is actually quite important. They can also be used to intercept, which frees the space for your palomides to come in. 4 Blaster blades, almost a card staple in a Royal Paladin deck, although not always at 4, allows you to retire any irritating rearguard that your opponent may call into the field(since using only 2 cb, will allow you to use your alfred's cb). Also, with Iseult, will hit 15k, with Liens, toypugals and Marrons will hit at least 16k. The 2 Akane will allow you to fetch out the toypugals which you may need to complete your columns, intercepting after that. However, with Lien will reach 15k and at least 16k with Toypugals and Marrons.

About the Grade 1s.

4 Iseults, Staples, almost every deck in the Japanese meta will contain 4 perfect guards to guard against crossrides and other big hitters. Marrons and Toypugals, will complete your 21k columns together with Palomides. They will also allow you to hit 16k with Blaster blade, Akane and 16k with the 10k Vanilla. The 3 Lien other than making 16k Columns will allow you to cycle cards you do not need, such as Alfreds when you have already ridden one. Since Alfred cannot be boosted, Lien will most probably go under your Vanguard so that you can still use its ability with Alfred as your vanguard since it can't be boosted. Making use of all the cards in your field.

About the Grade 0s.

12 Crit triggers, maximum pressure to your opponent. 4 Heal Triggers, Self explanatory, almost in every deck. Wingal Brave, with Barcgal being banned as Starting Vanguard, just the next better alternative since Drangal is only useful in a Galahad Deck, Bluegal in a High Beast Deck. Wingal Brave allows you to get another Blaster blade if it boosts a Blaster Blade, Since you have 4, it's quite likely.

Imagine! (Perfect field)

The perfect field will most likely be Alfred as your vanguard with Lien behind it. One or two columns of Palomides and Toypugals/Marrons to finish your opponent. Else one column is Blasterblade with the Grade 1 boosters to reach 16k.

Conclusion

This deck is fast, easy to complete your perfect field, straightforward and hits hard. With Alfred, Akane and Lien, they allow you to get the cards that you want to complete the perfect field for you to end the game. 12 Crits puts maximum pressure on your opponent. A lean and mean machine this deck is. As this deck do not have any Draw triggers, you may not be able to gain as much card advantage, however, Alfred, Akane and even Blasterblade would be able to help you with that problem.

You should also mention that Wingal Brave can boost Palomides to hit the magic 18K when facing crossride units.

This is one of my first Deck construction Articles, so bear with me. This is not a perfect deck and I am not a Pro, just some idea that I throw around. So if you have any useful tips or think that I am wrong, please comment below. :)

This is one of my first few deck that I am quite happy with. Great if you wish to play a Budget deck since cards of the Granblue clan are not very expensive.

Imagine! (Perfect Field)

I'll start with the perfect field. Cocytus boosted with Dragon spirit double critting your opponent's vanguard for the win!!

The side columns can be just a Ruin Shade, Blueblood, Thanatos or Any grade 2 with a 8k booster. Best would be Skull Dragon with Romario for a 21k Column.

The idea of the deck, is to delay your opponent for as long as possible to enable your Cocytus Vanguard to Crit your opponent. Since Cocytus boosted by Dragon Spirit, when soul blasted, will reach 26k after limit break, your opponent will either have to perfect guard it or let it through. The rest of the deck should try to delay your opponent as long as possible through super intercepting or by killing their rearguards.

Grade 3s

4 Cocytus, the main player in this deck. Allows you to reach 26k after limit break and boosted by dragon spirit, or 21k without either limit break or Dragon spirit. The second ability allows you to revive any unit from your discard pile, be it getting a dragon spirit behind it or getting thanatos or your grade 2s to your field. You can ride another Cocytus over your Cocytus to use its ability again. Thanatos will create maxmum pressure on your opponent as they will most likely want to block it. It will also distract your opponent from attacking your Vanguard so that you will have more chance to attack him. Dragon Skull, only 1 as you can revive it or search it our with nightkid. Will reach 21k with romario boosting behind it.

Grade 2s

4 Ruin Shades, Use these to attack your opponent's Rearguard, since after using its ability will push it to 11k and allow you to fill your discard pile for revival. Blueblood Commodore is used to attack your opponents' rearguards and pietro is used to unflip damage used for your counterblasts since the deck is quite counterblast heavy.

Grade 1s.

4 Dragon Spirits, these will go behind Cocytus to boost it to 26k. You may reduce it to 3 if you find that you can do without the extra 1. 3 Gust Jinn, perfect Guards, Staples. Samurai Spirits and Romarios, used to boost your Rearguards to reach 16k magic number. Samurai Spirits allow you to adjust your field and bring it back. Romario also goes with Skull Dragon to reach 21k. 2 King Seahorses, to allow you to cycle cards in your hand that you do not need. It can go behind your vanguard in the beginning or if you cannot get your Dragon spirit to reach 16k/21k. If you find that you do not make use of it often enough, change it out for more of the other grade 1s or an additional Blueblood.

Grade 0s.

12 Crit Triggers to pressure your opponent. Also to allow you to crit your opponent to death using your vanguard. Rough Sea Banshee also allows you to feed your Dragonspirit by sould charging it if you can afford the lost in defense. 4 Heal Triggers, Staple in any deck. Skeleton Assault Troops Captain as Starter, I actually prefer this as my Starter as it allows me to look for Cocytus and provides consistency, however some may prefer Captain Nightkid as the starter for the tool boxing ability.

The Deck

Try to Delay your opponent for as long as possible so that your Cocytus have more chance to hit your opponent's Vanguard. This deck is quite against rush deck as it needs time to set up. Another thing is that you need the discipline to attack your opponent's rearguards to reduce their hand size and slow them down. Sometimes even using your vanguard to do that.

I hope that you enjoyed this article and that you would gain something from it! :)
