I'm back!

LONG. TIME. NO. SEE.

I disappeared for quite some time because I had a surgery and by the time I fully recovered I lost my laptop alongside all the articles I've been working for the past few months

Fortunately, I always keep my testing data  on my notes over my laptop. So make sure to come back later for some new content(s)!!!

Aqua Force - Clan Analysis

Aqua Force, just like its name suggest is a clan consist of Naval Military Units.
You like manly guys and dragons in uniform? this clan is your best choice.

Aqua Force mainly gaining advantage from prolonging their number of attacks.
Hitting small number before hitting with big or even huge number as the finishing touch.

Narukami - Clan Analysis

Narukami is another dragon filled clan from the obvious Dragon Empire.
The clan's member is filled with muscle *cough-Brawlers-cough* , since they trade their defense for offense.

The clan had similar gimmick like Kagero, the difference lies in the purpose of controlling.
Kagero doing it for defensive control, retiring unit that could pose problems and piling advantage from that. Narukami, in other hand choosing the muscle way for finishing things up. Hitting many unit at once, giving powers to rearguards, gaining extra critical. Name anything pressure based and Narukami almost had everything.

Prevail Jewel Knight, Yvain - Deck Review

VG-G-BT02 bring more support for Jewel Knights. With the addition of Prevail Jewel Knight, Yvain and Jewel Knight, Sabremy the Bling-Bling Knights deserve more love.
Will they able to steal the spotlight?

Famous Doctor, Big Belly - Deck Profile

Great Nature - Clan Analysis

Great Nature is a clan filled with high intelligence animals, the clan main theme aside from animals is school / university.
Great Nature unit naming sense formula is: [Insert School Utensils/School Related Job] [Animal Name]

The clan gimmicks was to powering up their units by 4k (which is sad) and then retire the unit given at the end of turn. Commonly called as "Doping"

Maiden of Ranunculus, Ayesha - Deck Profile

Neo Nectar - Clan Analysis

No, I don't play NN due to Emi Nitta.

Neo Nectar in a nutshell was the farmers of Cray. Came from the colorful Zoo Nation, Neo Nectar had beautiful combination of flowers, people, plants, and forest dragons. The best of them all? Absolutely Maiden of Venus Trap "Reverse" due to glasses.
They are the biggest producer and distributor of crops and foods throughout Planet Cray.

The clan focused on maintaining field consistency, pressuring with on-hit skills, and giving power boosts to units that sharing same name.
Now, Neo Nectar got some huge support and they're pretty good.

Neo Nectar have been my main deck since BT08 with my Maiden of Trailing Rose deck which got some upgrade at BT14. Personally, I don't really like Musketeers due to not liking the arts (I still had the decks though).

VG-G-BT01 Update

So, this one supposed to be published back at January.
Many things happened at the end of the month and this one got delayed.
And during that short break, I looked back at my testing log and i find something amazing.

Chrono Jet Dragon - Deck Recipe

Short Break.

The only photo I could saved from my broken camera and memory card

Well, January just ended and something terrible happened to me.
Last month, my workplace had a camping event at a small island. One of the main event was a midnight treasure hunt and during the hunt i slipped at the and apparently I was unconscious for quite some time and I was brought to local hospital because of bone fracture and minor amnesia. (I forgot everything that happened that day before my girlfriend told me the whole story.)

Funnily enough, I was reaching the treasure for my girl and the organizer let me take the prize LOL.

As for the island, it is called Sempu Island.
Check an article about it here.
There's also a Wikipedia article!
If any of you guys went as far as Indonesia for a short break, go here!

Vanguard 101 : Being Advanced

Every newcomer feeling. right?

I'm actually pretty new to this game, been playing from the release of Set 12 or so.
During my early days, it is so hard to find myself a good source of newbie guides to be an advanced players as fast as possible.
Not until i read V-Mundi's Vanguard 101 Articles. read it here.
While the whole article was a good read, REAL GOOD one at that. Some people doesn't have the time and hearts to read all of them.
So, i'm trying to compile everything I took from V-Mundi and mustering all my knowledge and past experiences for creating a simple, straightforward article to help everyone advancing themselves.

19/01/15 Anime Episode Review

SSAAAHH!!

This update was coming out late because i had some small matters and been testing non-stop for upcoming Cardfight!! Vanguard January Update articles.

This week i also watched Aldnoah.Zero and Cross Ange, Both was high level of satisfaction, but I'm not going to do some review on them because i doesn't even watch Aldnoah's first season and Cross Ange was my seasonal dose of slight fan-service shows.

OTT - Clan Analysis

Another Clan from the small-yet-full-of-clan United Sanctuary. The Oracle Think Tank is a corporation of individuals talented in magic that use their powers to predict the future.
Unlike other clans that focused on sheer power, OTT played their game elegantly.
They play with high level of techniques and bring you the power to foresaw and forge your own future, and also let you draw as much as you want. Or you just want to mix them altogether?

Nova Grappler - Clan Analysis

Nova Grappler, a clan from Star Gate full of Mecha, Workeroid, and many other things from an event called 'Nova Grapple' a no-holds-barred tournament that was Star Gate's main attraction.
A clan full of mechanized muscle battling each other.

Nova Grappler full of offensive minded unit that gaining advantage by standing a unit to extend their attack wave.

12/01/15 Anime Episode Review

First Anime Review Post!

Can't. Stop. Laughing.

Last year i decided that I only going to watch Vanguard, Log Horizon, iM@S, KuroBas, amd Gundam shows.
and then I added Assasination Classroom because my friend was watching that show on class and i noticed something... yellow.
If during following season I find some new, interesting shows I might write some few things about them.

Royal Paladin - Clan Analysis

Young Master and his loyal knight in silver armor

Royal Paladin is a clan from the ever-crowded United Sanctuary. filled with Knights, Animals, Animal Breeders, Dragons, and many other things with silver armor. Still wondering why they still not going to be called Silver Paladin instead.

Royal Paladin focused on calling RGs and gaining advantage by having a spawn of units and sometimes giving power to the RGs for onslaught purposes. but Shion's Royal Paladins preferred to superior calling G2 over calling anything for a generally cheaper costs and making some unnoticed unit a chance.

Kagero - Clan Analysis

Kagero in Japanese means Heat Haze, and a clan full of Lizards, Humans, and Dragons clad in fire. They play to control the flow of the game by retiring, restanding, gaining power and crit, and man other ridiculous ways.

in VG-G-BT01 we had 2 different decklist with 2 different purpose. The first one is a Stride focused deck with Dragonic Blademaster and the Legion focused with Dragonic Overlord, The X which is irrationally stupid and by the time this unit revealed I already foresaw a future filled with him.

Gear Chronicle - Clan Analysis

Gear Chronicle (GC) is a clan from Dark Zone Nation, they're our newest addition from ever growing clan list. Units in GC mainly themed around machinery dragons, people, and animals with gears all around their body

As for VG-G-TD01 and VG-G-BT01 releases, the clan gimmicks revolved around their ability to manipulate time; both for themselves or their opponents. The skill consist of putting your opponent Rearguard(s) to bottom deck, Guard restricting, and ridiculously enough; give you additional turn.

PANZER VOR!!

Hello there!!
Let's be quick, it's just an obligatory post anyway.

And kids, that how you do a camouflage on suburban area.

I'm Adrindrata, i'm a student at somewhere on the Far East and i randomly loved Gunpla, Cardfight!! Vanguard, and trying to do some article on them.
In this blog i'm trying to give you :

1. Gunpla Reviews, mostly on HG Line. Do note that i can't buy every single kit out there so primarily i only buy Long-Range unit such as GM Sniper, Dynames, etc. Heavy Artillery unit such as Virtue, Gundam Double X, AGE-3 Orbital, etc. and some random unit i fell in love with such as R-Gyagya, G-Bouncer, Farsia, etc.
2. Cardfight!! Vanguard Deck Recipes & Review. Do note i only do Japanese releases from VG-G-BT01 and VG-G-TD01 onwards while putting some old, dependable decks from later sets.
3. Math Calculation behind my CFVG decks, i came from V-Mundi VG Community then please bear with it.
4. Vanguard 101 for Beginner. Since CFVG take a new step on their new season, there's going to be a lot new reference on deckbuilding, card analysis, etc. over the old 'Generation'
5. Anime Reviews. Do note i only make reviews for on-going Anime starting from next season.

Looking at that list myself, I realize that you guys better came back after few months so i can give you better view on the kit reviews, deck reviews, and anime reviews.

tl;dr; 

This site mainly posts about CFVG decks, HG kit reviews from Bandai, and my ranting about anime shows.

Cheers!

Adrindrata.
