Dark Irregular's BT03

So far in my testing I've had moderate success with my proxied out deck against my brothers Tsukuyomi Proxied out deck neither of us have enough knowledge of the decks to truly test them. I tested it against his Kagero and did well most games but I'm slowly figuring out the playstyle of Dark Irregular pre BT07... Stil Vampir Megablast should only be used when you can put a Grade 0 as the Vanguard otherwise just stick to Amon swings until your opponent runs out of guards...

The deck right now only can run 4 Critical Triggers and 8 Stand Triggers. It also doesn't soul charge as well as it can in BT07... Alluring Succubus is your best Grade 1 Ride in the deck as it lets you Soul Charge for it and Vermillion when ridden putting you at 3 Soul on turn 1... then you'd ride to Succubus of Decadence right? I personally don't but if you do and call a single Rear Guard you'll trigger both the Grade 1 and 2 Amon upon riding to 3... Grade 1 Amon boosting Grade 3 Amon is the best line avaliable aside from Doreen abuse. Which isn't too broken until we get Dark Lord of Abyss then it becomes stupid opening up gigantic swings of damage.

Another thing I noticed is that if you soul charge your Full Guards you may have trouble throughout the game. I currently use 3 Full Guards but 4 seems to be the optimal number for this deck.

Anyway I won't be able to go to Locals tomorrow because I'm moving into my Dorm so next week if my brother isn't doing anything I may be able to go to locals.

First Real Local Tourney Report

So I finally got to go to locals. It was fun but eh my record wasn't very good. Bad draws coupled with an incompleat deck playing against a complete Spike Brothers and getting sacked by an Aleph deck (I had nothing to guard with kept checking Grade 3's... only run 7 of em). The tourney format this time was 1 Round Match Swiss... I went 2-2 in our four round tournament and got 4th (out of 9 people with a unfinished deck is pretty nice).


Round 1: Narukami (Me) vs. Lohengrin Royal Paladin
I basically kept his hand count low by swinging in with big hits on his 10k Lohengrin. Eventually I got him to 4 damage with 3 cards in hand... I draw for my turn and declared "Final Turn", "Limit Break" I took all of his front row on at once... first check nothing... second check Critical Trigger for game.
1-0

Round 2: Narukami (Me) vs. Dudley Emperor Brothers
I had some bad luck coupled with Morikawa draws so by time I finally got to Grade 3 I had taken 5 damage didn't help that my grade 3 was a 10k Thunder Break... he never got Dudley but his swings were just too big every turn and I succumbed.
1-1

Round 3: Narukami (Me) vs. Cocytus Granblue
Basically once again with big swings he had to guard more than he wanted. Eventually with a Grade 3 Cocytus in hand he Superior Rides to Deadly Swordmaster after minusing to get out the Nightmare... Putting his hand lower... He swung and me being at 2 damage let it through. He gets a Critical... I'm at 4 with Vermilion on field. He decided not to attack my rearguard with his rearguard and just passed the turn. I attacked and he survived at 5 damage. He got a heal back up to 4. I swing in with everything to lower his hand because I know he has a Gust Jin. He decides not to use it but still makes it through without damage just barely. He swings in and deals 1 Damage I get a Heal Trigger back to 4... He has 3 cards in hand and I have 5 unflipped damage. I draw and do not declare Final Turn though I already know it is he can't block my rearguard hits though he is at 4... I call Dragonic Deathscythe to retire a random rearguard. Then I use Vermillion Thunderbolt and attack his whole front row. He guards for the Vanguard I check a Draw Trigger and a blank. Power to Deathscythe. Which is now big enough with a boost to force a 15k shield he takes it and the Djinn's attack which would require a 10k and thats game.
2-1

Round 4: Narukami (Me) vs. Aleph Kagero
He pulls off the Superior Ride and along with that constantly is able to use kimnara on my backrow so eventually I had a Djinn and 2 Vermillion on field as I kept checking Grade 3's... I was doing well but eventually he was able to use Aleph to get 3 free damage unflipped for Dragonic Overlord and that was the end of that. I blocked it and tried to block the Aleph but he got Double Crit... and that was game.
2-2

All in all not a bad day.

My brother went 3-1 also losing to Spike Brothers with his Goku-Blade (Only has 2 Goku right now though).

I bought some packs of BT03 and pulled Grade 3 Amon and some rares... yadda yadda... my brother traded our Angel Feather money cards for 2 Ezel 1 Garmore 2 Vivianne and pretty much an entire Gold Paladin deck technically we got the worse end of the deal but got some free sleeves to help out along with some more Tradebait or enough cards to run Gold Paladin again.

I traded 2 Shock Ruler and 1 T.G. Hyper Librarian for 1 Spectral Duke Dragon 1 Wyvern Guard Guld and 1 Master Beetle which was fair.

I traded some Granblue stuff for a bunch of Dark Irregular rares and commons (Worth it)

Then got my Prize Packs 1 BT03 and 1 Cardfight Pack Vol. 2 and 1 Promotional DVD with the first 4 episodes subbed. My Brother got the same and the first manga chapters instead of the DVD. I pulled Knowledge Drunkard.

I then bought a box of BT03...
Of note I pulled:
1 Nightmare Doll, Alice RRR
1 Hades Hypnotist RR
2 Toypugal R
1 March Rabbit of Nightmareland RR
1 Edel Rose RR
1 Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi RRR
1 Crimson Beast Tamer RR
1 Doreen the Thruster RR
1 Stil Vampir RRR

So I made a bit more than my money back mostly because of Tsukuyomi and 2 two full Guards... I paid 70 and just those 3 cards are about 70+ throwing in Doreen and Stil Vampir and Alice Nearly made 100 in card value. Sad thing is i'm using the Full Guard, Stil Vampir, Doreen, Amon...

If Ernest feels like posting his experience at the local he may as I don't even know how his games went. I'll be able to bring a new tourney report every 2 weeks or so maybe sooner. I'll post my Narukami build tomorrow probably.

Ultimate Justice Sword!!!!

Honestly this post was made simply because I saw the new episode of Vanguard... Which I believe was the best episode of all time simply because a non-main character performed the first Superior Crossride and had the theme song play just for him when he got hype.

"FINAL TURN!!!!" Proceeding to create a 26k Beater with Critical 2... Boost it to 32000... Swing over Ren get guarded and Draw Trigger!!! For Good Game! He had the damn theme song play throughout the entire summon and attack sequences up until the match was officially over perfectly timed.

It was a freaking combining mech full of Super Sentai I love it love it love it.

On the upswing... Dimensional Police with Ultimate Dimensional Robo, Great Daiyusha!!! is so cool that if I ever build it and go to a tournament I will bring a boombox and once I perform the Crossride and declare Final Turn I will then hit the Turbo Bass and play Vanguard!! by JAM Project while repeating every single thing Kenji Mitsusada said throughout the FINAL TURN while standing up and yelling it. (This would be every round.)

BTW who is Daigo?
