So, apparently Sephiro Aries is quite good...
With Sephiro Aries out, the opponent cannot use his spirits the turn its summoned...
and with Pheonix Sword, you can just attack it down.
Whats more is that Sephiro Aries can recover and attack again, no matter how many spirits they have.
Achievement Unlocked:
You clearly havent learnt your lesson:
Pull a holographic rare card from a booster pack for the second time.
4th PLACE T.T
12 person tournament.
So its pretty cool.
1st Round VS: Blue/Purple Assault
I didnt even see any assault. Any nexus that went down burned up pretty quickly.
They forbid Vulture and spam 5 nexus. I pheonix sword. They surrender.
WIN!
2nd Round: VS Green/Blue Nobunaga.
Yes they had Seven Storm. He drew into EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
But too bad.
Absorbing Triumphant Arch Sez NO.
Phobos Dragoon -> Strike Apollo -> Game.
WIN!
3rd Round: VS I have no idea.
I start with a Birthplace of Sword.
He opens with Veloci Harpe(Level 2) and Igua Buggy(level 1).
He attacks with both, and I give him 2 life.
I draw, dont even look at the card, drop SEIG CRIMISON, roast the 2 spirits, add 2 cores.
Brave Cerebelord.
Triple Symbol X2 For the win.
So I hear Seig Crimison is pretty good.
WIN!
Semi Finals: VS Purple/White/Yellow Wig
A bit of back and forth, with Aquilam -> Danderabbit -> Pheonix Cannon -> Random stuff.
He cuts down my life to 2 pretty quickly, but im still ahead in cards.
He summons 2 weenie monsters, and drops Wig Bind. GG.
PWNT
For 3rd place: VS Red/White Control.
A sorta mirror match, the difference being that I dont have Pheonix Cannon T.T
Start!
Ball Gunner, Ball Gunner, Cerebelord, Chiyu.
Whut?
Draw!
Melodious Harp.
>.>
Take 2 life.
Draw!
Cerebelord.
T.T
Pwnt.
Result: 4th place with 3 wins, 2 loss.
Mmm so as you can see I have started Vangaurd!
I started today and I already have a more than 50% win rate... VS random people.
With a starter deck.
WTF.
Anyhows, todays I fought some people, and finally got to playtest my 2 Strike Apollo Build....
With Danderabbit!
Actually strike apollo is quite interesting, and strong... Im suprised people havent realized this.
2nd Zodiac Apollo get!
Crazy strong.
Irritaban brave Irritaban.
ATTACK!
Irritaban copy Cerebelord.
Irritaban copy Chiyu.
Gain 1 life knock 2 life recover.
ATTACK!
Irritaban copy Cerebelord.
Irritaban copy Chiyu.
Gain 1 life knock 2 life recover.
ATTACK!Irritaban copy...
Anything really. You've already won.
Burning Sun.
Its awesome.
Use it.
Super fun.
Practically wise, quite not so good.
The only two apollos worth using are Seig Dipper Apollo, which will almost always have a brave on it already, and maybe Strike Apollo.
So...
Balance wise, not so worth hte space.
Epic though.
So, the new starter deck's release date is out, and its the 16th of September!
At the end of september, the starter set for two people(as previously mentioned) will be released on the 30th.
Now, whats more fun is:
November 25th: High Ranker Deck: Double Nova!
Judging from the new formula, its goanna be 5 X rares, of which 2 will probally be Darkwurm nova, and 2 Seigwurm Nova. Who knows what the last X rare will be...
Also, Red + Purple = Pendragon.
Unless youre goanna be printing it in the starter...
So when he attacks he can snatch up a brave and attack...
Hmm.
If there was only a way to split the brave spirit, and recover him.
Oh.
Wait.
The Tree Overlooking the Huge Star!
Just watched today.
I couldnt help laugh at the kicker trailer for the Avengers.
Avengers: Some Assembly Required
So I was playing what seemed to be Yellow with blue to stall...
First turn he threw down a Hand typhoon! and threw away 4 cards. I forgot to check them.
After some turns of garnering +5 card advantage, +3 core advantage, I decided to swing for game. Got stopped by Silent wall, but was like "oh what can he do with only 3 cards? I still have Mist Curtain. Besides, I have grahnim to let my Seig Crimison block whatever."
Ill tell you what can happen.
Forbid Vulture, call back 3 Collapse of the Battle Line. Summon Orihalcon Golem level 3.
Deck out.
=A="
pwnt.
Phobos Dragoon Level 3 + Pegaseeda level 2.
Attack! Destroy both!
Summon Seig Apollo! Brave! Draw 1!
Draw 3!
Summon another Seig Apollo! Brave! Draw another 1!
Attack!

Venu Lucifeather
Battle Spirits: Yonoboru Hajime Deck: Burst Heroes.
Cover card: Master rare "The Hero Dragon Lord Dragon"
The Cover card is a Master Rare spirit. Lord Dragon's motif is Momotaro
Also in the deck are the Crane spirit, and Monkey spirit.
This means that somewhere along the story, Hajime will be getting his hands on the "Dog" spirit.
Those unfamiliar with the origional story, Momotaro has 3 friends: A dog, a Crane and a monkey... Yet the deck only has 2 of these guys.
Irriteban...
1st turn: Throw down Birthplace of sword
2nd Turn: Summon Irriteban. Draw 1.
3rd Turn: Summon Ball Gunner. Draw 1
Ball Gunner BRAVE! Attach to Irriteban!
Attack!
Brave attack effect! Ball Gunner to destroy 1 spirit and draw 1!
Brave Attack effect! Irriteban to copy Ball Gunners Effect! Draw 1! Burn 1!
Double Symbol! +4 Card Advantage!
Wait... WHAT?
What kind of card gives +4 Card advantage like no tommorow and isnt an X Rare?
So I was reading up on Nova Cup
Its an annual cash tournament, that instead of winning, focused more on entertainment value of the game.
Last year, the Nova cup wasnt called that, but its the same people hosting, etc.
(Last year it was Freedom Cup?)(Freedom= Seig Freiden)
So, rules go down like this:
You are not allowed to use any X rares other than spirits with "Nova" in its name
You can only use 3 X Rares in the deck(IE: Only 3 Novas) (Not counting Promo X Rares)
Seig Brave is forbidden
Every game Win is 3 Points. Every game loss is 1 Point.
Bonus Points:
Every time you summon a "Nova", you gain 1 Point.
Every successive "Nova" you summon that turn, you gain an additional 2 points.(IE: The second Nova summon was worth 3 points)
If you use Seigwurm Nova's health recovery effect, you gain 3 points.
If you use Meteor Storm, or Neibelring, you gain bonus 1 point(for Meteor Storm, 1 Point for every time life is taken)
At the end of the Match, you gain 1 point for every Nova
Simple right?
Instead of building the deck to win, you should build the deck to be FAAABULOUS
What's a battle worth if its not fun to watch?
So there were a couple of strategies to this cup...
1: Pentan Turbo (Serious.)(Really.)
2: Seigwurm Nova Brave Turbo(Full Red)
3: Darkwurm Nova Control
4: DOUBLE NOVA!
5: TRIPLE NOVA!(Even crazier)
The advantage to Pentan is that they have no other X rares to play, and hence can use their Magics and Fortune Teller Pentan/Helens to draw up their deck crazy fast, allowing for easy Prince Pentan -> Pentan NOVA plays.
Seigwurm Nova turbo is self explanatory. it uses Red Nexuses to draw into the 3 Novas, and Braves to help with the draw and control.
Darkwurm Nova Control is built to counter this brave build. Just regular old Darkwurm Nova
Double Nova! Uses Seigwurm Vega as a stepping stone to both Novas.
TRIPLE Nova! Uses all 3 Novas... to strangely fun ends.
Now, the tournament was 4 rounds of swiss(counting points for placement).
Most of the higher scorers were around 35-45 points...
And Number 1?
INFINITE.
What?
APPARENTLY, there is a way to summon A "Nova" an Infinite number of times in ONE turn, and return it to the hand...
Which Nova this is, I have yet to find out...
New project: FIND OUT THIS LOOP!
