Which Witch ?

Todays card of the day features a Genesis Heal retrain (and Witch support too?)

Grade locked deck recycling waifu

Witch Queen of Big Achievement, Laurier

Fighters Collection 2017 – G-FC04/030 (RRR)

[G guardian] (Usable when both fighters’ vanguards are grade 3 or greater, and the number of face up G guardians in your G zone is three or less)-Opponent Turn’s Guard Step-[Choose a card with “Heal” from your hand, and discard it] Call this card to your (GC) from face down.
[AUTO] Generation Break 1:[Choose a face down G guardian from your G zone, and turn it face up] When this unit is placed on (GC), you may pay the cost. If you do, choose two or more normal units with the same grade each from your drop zone and soul, up to a total of three cards, return them to your deck, this unit gets [Shield]+5000 for each returned card until end of that battle, and shuffle your deck.

The G Guard is okay. Its skill is GB1, by flipping a G Guard, choose two or more units from the drop and soul with the total being three of the same grade, and return them to the deck. She gets +5k shield for each unit returned this way.

Now, you can’t return triggers with her, restricting her to only normal units. But we still can send back perfect guards, stride fodders and other cards required in the deck. So, it is a 50-50 split for using her. Iris is still better than her, and Hanatsuki is kinda good too.  You will have a maximum 30k shield with her though, making her more powerful than the other G Guards Genesis has. Anyways, guess I’ll replace a Hanatsuki with her.

Ah, almost forgot about the shuffle. The shuffle resets all your deck stacking, so be careful.

Good unit, all in all.

Witch of Big Bowls, Laurier

Fighters Collection 2017 – G-FC04/054 (RR)

(You may only have up to four cards with “HEAL” in a deck.)
[AUTO]:When this card is discarded as a cost to call a “Witch Queen of Big Achievement, Laurier” from your G zone, you may put this card into your soul.

 Good art.

….

….

You thought I was going to talk about the card ? Ah well, when discarded to call Laurier G Guard, put her in the soul. Pretty good, though Murakumo needed this type of heal.

Nothing much to say.

Guardian Bugs with bad skills

Seven Stars Mutant Deity, Relish Lady

Fighters Collection 2017 – G-FC04/046 (RRR)

[G guardian] (Usable when both fighters’ vanguards are grade 3 or greater, and the number of face up G guardians in your G zone is three or less)-Opponent Turn’s Guard Step-[Choose a card with “Heal” from your hand, and discard it] Call this card to your (GC) from face down.
[AUTO] Generation Break 1:[Choose a face down G guardian from your G zone, and turn it face up] When this unit is placed on (GC) during the battle that your opponent’s vanguard attacked, you may pay the cost. If you do, your opponent chooses two of his or her rear-guards, and may [Rest] them. If two units were not [Rest], you draw a card, and Counter Charge (1)/Soul Charge (1).

Ah, a sexy waifu. Art is great, effect, not so much. Why, you ask ?

Her skill is GB1, when the opponents VG attacks, by flipping a G Guard, your opponent chooses two rearguards, rests them, and if two were not rested, you draw and CC1/SC1.

What’s so bad about the skill, you ask. Well, the V2V attack only restriction alone kills it, a reason why I don’t like Shishiyuzuki that much. And it doesn’t even get any shield boost, another bad thing. Is it really difficult for you to give us good cards, Bushi ?

Don’t get me started on that rest thing. You hand over control on what to rest to your oppponent, in a control clan. And what’s more, the opponent can choose not to rest any unit, and you only get a CC1/SC1 and a draw ? Granted, draw on opponent’s turn is good, and the SC fuels Darkface’s GB2, but still. If it got just 10k shield, it would be great, but no. Bushi doesn’t want bugs to get good things.

The heal, while the art is great, is just an Ioannes clone. No point talking ’bout it. Bushi, I know it’s hard to design cards, but try at least ?

 

 

Shadows of Murakumo

Today’s COTD is new Murakumo support!

Bottom deck trigger stacking !

Ambush Demon Stealth Rogue, Shirahagino

Fighters Collection 2017 – G-FC04/034 (RRR)

[G guardian] (Usable when both fighters’ vanguards are grade 3 or greater, and the number of face up G guardians in your G zone is three or less)-Opponent Turn’s Guard Step-[Choose a card with “Heal” from your hand, and discard it] Call this card to your (GC) from face down.
[AUTO] Generation Break 1:[Counter Blast (1) & Choose a face-down G guardian from your G zone, and turn it face up] When this unit is placed on (GC), you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your vanguards, until end of turn, it gets “[AUTO](VC):When your grade 3 or lower guardian is retired from (GC), you may put that unit on the bottom of your deck.”, and this unit gets [Shield]+10000 until end of that battle.

Murakumo’s best G-Guard till date IMO. She’s also GB1 restricted (what’s with GB1 anyway, Bushi ?). Her cost is a CB, flip a G Guard, and gives the vanguard the ability to recycle G-Guardians, and she becomes a 25k guard. Pretty good card.

The best part about the card is that deck recycle. It lasts till the end of the turn, and and is not restricted till grade one too. This means you can recycle your triggers you got in the hand (I get a lot, really) to the deck, and potentially increase your trigger chances. Well, it does stack at the bottom, but the deck shuffles a lot for that stacking to be worthwhile. Also, it helps late game by sending cards to deck for cloning next turn, and thus you won’t die if you don’t have clone copies in the deck.

Anyways, Murakumo now has a good G-Guard finally, and I am LOVING it. The skill’s great, art’s great. What else do we need ?

Normal bottom deck stacking !

Secretary Stealth Rogue, Hagino

Fighters Collection 2017 – G-FC04/058 (RR)

(You may only have up to four cards with “HEAL” in a deck.)
[AUTO]:When this card is discarded as a cost to call an “Ambush Demon Stealth Rogue, Shirahagino” from your G zone, choose a normal unit from your drop zone, and you may put it on the bottom of your deck.

The ‘past’ form of the G-Guard, the heal’s good too. When discarded to call Shirahagino, she stacks a normal unit from drop to the bottom. This another great skill. Discarded a grade 3 for Stride last turn ? Return it to deck with this skill. And if you send back Trial Yasuie, more chances of using his skill. Best heal revealed so far, second only to Spike’s.

Yep, I’m replacing my heal.

Oh yeah, talking about Spikes. I’ve (almost) finished the Monthly Bushiroad leaks, will update. Nothing new, same old boring exams.

 

The Future and Past of G Guards

FC17 spoilers start with Aqua Force!

Brawlers, VMAX and Kaisers. May you rest in pepperoni

Guard Leader of Sky and Water, Ioannis

G-FC04/045 RRR

(The young man confronts the raging waves with the sacred gem.)

Grade 4 / Magallanica /Shield 15000 – Aqua Force – Aquaroid

[G Guardian]
Auto GB1: [Counter Blast 1, choose 1 face-down G Guardian from your G Zone, flip it face-up] When this Unit is placed on (GC), you can pay the cost. If you do, you can choose up to 5 of your Rear-guards, during that turn, they gain “CONT (RC): Resist” and “CONT (RC): This Unit cannot be Hit.”, and for each chosen Unit, this Unit gains Shield+5000.

Yeah, sorry, what’s VMAX again ? An anti-control G Guard appears. First of all, I’ll declare: Why the heck is he a boy ?! I mean, his appearance sure looks like girl, doesn’t it. Well, a-anyways, skills > waifus, aren’t they ?

Hi skill is one that will bring up a protest rally by Narukami players. The first and only GB1 restricted G Guard yet, by paying one counterblast, he gives Resist to 5 of your rearguards. If that wasn’t enough to anger Narukami players to quit the game, he gets a whooping 5k shield for each rearguard chosen. That’s a incredible total of 40k shield. Quite the skill, eh?

Now the pros of the skill are that it is not restricted by that silly Wave restriction, and protects the rearguards. Really, this is the best gift for a rearguard reliant deck such as this. Thank you, Bushi. (Bushi, I swear, give us good Thunderstrike support, or be ready for retaliation.)

And yeah, he is also not a broken G Guard, as he also has his cons. He is GB1 restricted, meaning no 40k shield first G Guard, and also requires two spots in the G Zone, cramping G Zone space even more. This is actually for all clans. If the FC GR is good, even less space. Also, doesn’t help against cards which retire in the main phase.

It’s a boy ?!

Officer Cadet, Ioannis

G-FC04/069 RR

(The boy’s life was saved by a mysterious gem.)”

Grade 0 / Magallanica – Aqua Force – Aquaroid/Power 4000/Shield 10000

(You can only have up to 4 [Heal Trigger] in your Deck)
AUTO: [Choose 1 Grade 1 or lower card from your hand, discard it] When you discard this card from your hand for the cost of Calling “Guard Leader of Sky and Water, Ioannis” from your hand. If you do, draw 1 card.

The first effect heal is unveiled ! And its……………..kinda okay, I guess. I mean the fact that a heal actually does something is way better than vanilla heals. Yeah, and he is a boy, sadly.

His skill is : When discarded for G Guarding with “Guard Leader of Sky and Water, Ioannis” (The above card), you discard another grade 1 or lower card to draw one. Kinda plain and boring, would have preferred to have a bottom decking thing like Yasuie instead of discarding it. But still, hand filtering is hand filtering. No issues there. Now wait and see a broken Uluru heal.

Still, it is a good thing that we are not getting clones of this guy as our effect heals. Who wants a CCing Narukami heal, say aye !

On a sidenote, I guess I’ll do COTD article now. I’m in the middle of doing a revamped Granblue decklist, will post soon.

Personally, I’m good. The exams have started, will end on 16th, and I will be on Area more then. My IGN is ScharhrotD, so feel free to challenge me. Also, can’t see Logan:( [read: underage].

[P.S. : I bet you didn’t figure out the X-Men hint I dropped of in the heading]
