So I just started playing this and it's surprisingly fun. It's very different from the Yu-Gi-Oh we know now where there's crazy combos and complicated mechanics. In this game it features very simple but true cards but they're all kind of in the same power level all while still having access to some newer cards. It doesn't have XYZ's and Synchro's and Pendulum monsters for now but they cold probably introduce cards like Gemknight Pearl or Vanilla Sychro monsters somewhere down the line and the game would still be enjoyable. The game itself is pretty similar to the current version however it has it's own different mechanics. Two of which are, Duelist Skills and 3 Column Fields. Duelist Skills are like perks and 3 Column Fields are exactly like how you think it is, you get to have up to 3 monsters and up to 3 spells. This provides for a simpler game and also a learning curve as well. You can run way too many traps and not have room for that kind of Stun type playstyle. You can have way too many monsters and end up not being able to dump your hand as fast. Overall this game is very promising and I have yet to explore all the aspects of it. I will probably be giving my point of view on the PvP standpoint when I make the first deck I'm happy with in the game and I can finally show it off to you guys after testing it in the in-game PvP.
So far, the game seems really solid and I would definitely recommend it.

Cardfight Vanguard: Revival Collection: New Card for Handtrap Kagero
Dragon Knight Rulen
This is a pretty decent card in the way that Lizard Soldier Bellog is also a pretty nice card, The skill is when you guard successfully by intercepting with this card you get to retire a unit they have at rest meaning if that rear-guard was going to enable a multi attack or if it's gonna get sacrificed for a Shadow Paladin's Stride skill then you can retire before they can retire it themselves.
The only problem I see with this card aside from it fighting spots over a bunch of other good grade 2 units is that his effect is very telegraphed. He has to intercept and guard successfully meaning guarding it for a vanguard attack would make it risky because of drive checks. This card might just also eat an attack or 2 from your opponent but overall this card is pretty underwhelming. Sure it has the same skill as Bellog but it's really not the same if your opponent can see it from a mile away. You can however make a 9k + 7k column with it hit face for 16 and then intercept with it but maybe even after then you'd just rather have some other rear-guard on his spot.
This card can be used in Hulkroar/Sadegh combo decks and this card can be reason enough to consider some new variations of Handtrap Kagero. It's a very solid defensive/control card but I don't really find it as a happy medium for my current Overlord deck. If you wanted to make a really defensive deck then sure feel free to put a few of this guy in there.
Overall Rating: 5/10

New Year Plans
I'm still gonna keep working on my first beloved Kagero post and I would add a matchups section to it as well hoping to increase the in-depth-ness of the guide/decklist so you would understand the thought process behind the deck. I'm also planning a video of me going through the deck with you guys IRL with real cards showing how you can do some of the plays I have probably mentioned here in the Kagero post.
Anyways, I appreciate anyone reading this and I'm happy you are :)

Cardfight Vanguard: My Very In-depth Kagero Deck Profile as of December 2016
So.. I'm gonna format my titles with the game or series title that I want to talk about first to make my blog seem less blobby but.. Here we go I guess. I do play Vanguard and it's one of the things that I enjoy a lot.
I'm starting with a list that I've been running for a long time now and that I've slowly grown to be my strongest deck. I started with a measly trial deck, "Overlord Blaze" which is the second Legend T.D. and I guess I kinda just grew upon it until I perfected the build to suit me the most.
Let's start with the decklist first (click the card name to see my card choice explanations).
Grade 0's:
Total: 17
Grade 1's:
Total: 14
Grade 2's:
Total: 10
Grade 3's:
Total: 9
Grade 4's:
So as you can probably see, my deck is a pretty big blob of different things to achieve the same thing that other Kagero decks can do but doing so in kind of a Jack of all trades kind of way. The deck does have different elements from a pure Overlord toolbox deck and a Handtrap deck or a Blademaster deck and it also has a pretty formidable early game that doesn't really require Generation Break. This deck does focus on "the Legend" and while it does focus on him, the rest of the deck still makes it so that the deck can function well enough without having access to his GB 2 skill.
Now for the more general idea of the deck I would explain these in phases of the game. If you go ahead and click the game phases below it would take you to how you should play these phases and your tools at that point of the game.
Pre-Game
Early Game
Early-Mid Game
Mid Game
Mid-Late Game
Late Game
Matchup Section:

Hello, Welcome to My Blob (I'm sticking with that typo)
So... I had the option to press backspace but i didn't.. Anyway, this blog would be about anything I feel like writing about that would come from my creative mind that fellow nerds would i guess enjoy. I really like card games and I used to do blogs for Hearthstone and YuGiOh and I might come back to them some day but for now I'll just join them into one big.. blob?!??
Hope you have an awesome time with me and get to know me the more I update this.
