Nexus at Night

Floodgates: cards that prevent the opponent from playing the game. Vanguard doesn't really have them, and they especially don't have them in Overdress. Would the game benefit from them or not?

Fishing season is finally over! The Lyrical Monasterio gals are on the scene with their first set, and we're covering it!

So we're seeing more reveals for revival collection coming at the end of the summer, and we frankly... don't care? Some Tachikaze, some Oracle Think Tank, some Neo Nectar, and the three of us just can't be bothered for the most part. So what's the deal? Why don't we care, and what would it take for us to come back? Matt and Atlas also have a light joust on whether Overdress or V Premium is the bet...

Fishing season is upon us once again as Lyrical Monasterio cards are starting to get revealed! And of course, this is Root Beer's favorite time of year, so we're looking at the first batch of cards through the gate. We got some weirdos, that's for sure...

Following a video from Yellowcard Vanguard regarding playing to win vs to not lose , we decided to take a look at what that's like on the deckbuilding side of things.

Bushiroad just had its first (and likely only) Springfest tournament online! And we've got good friend of the show Commanderjaime back with us to talk about it! Jaime, who got 2nd place in the premium format tournament with Genesis, is here to tell us a more detailed account of his experience than he had time for on his Youtube channel ! In addition, Atlas and Root Beer talk about their experience...

We're at it again! This time we're going to nut up or shut up about Overtriggers- how to fix them! In addition, we look at the new reveal that front triggers have an extra 5000 shield. What does this mean? Well, we have a guest, TeamGalaxyBrain , to look at both of these things and give us his (hilarious) opinion! Check out TeamGalaxyBrain's video on Overtriggers that inspired this episode! Thanks...

We're into something a little different this week! We're talking about our origin stories, not just in the wonderful world of Vanguard, but to trading card games in general: our highs, our lows, how they've affected us as people and so much more. Because it's not about pieces of cardboard, but it's quite literally about the friends we've made along the way. Thanks to...

Alright, the last of the V series cards were revealed, we're taking care of this once and for all! We're going through V series in the broad strokes (both in standard and in premium), what we like, what we hated, our best and worst memories! Come join us, or answer the questions for yourself! -On a scale from A to F, how would you rate V series (both standard and premium) on the whole? -...

We finally know what "over dress" means! Bushiroad released the mechanic in the stream this week, the guys are gonna dissect what that could mean for the upcoming D series, as well as for the clans on the whole. Plus every time Atlas makes a Yu-Gi-Oh xyz summon reference he gets one step closer to being tased. Thanks to our $10 patrons! -Darren G -Cole Green Follow us on Twitter or Insta...

Finally, we finished the Star Gate nation in our premium profiles! And helping us do that is Zystral, one half of Yellowcard Vanguard! He's with us today to talk about Link Joker, the "evil" clan that's all about locking... and locking their own stuff... and "deleting"... what are they about exactly? Come find out! Check out YellowCard Vanguard's Youtube channel!...

The end of V Series is here! Kind of! As little bits and pieces of Overdress get revealed to us, we ignore that entirely because we have to, and review the new design team for Vanguard's first set and ironically the last set of V Series standard format, Clan Selection Plus! Except this is just volume 1. There's some reprints, a few new cards per clan, and some of 'em are pretty cool...

AGAIN?! *Sigh* alright, looks like Bushiroad is at it again. With yet ANOTHER banlist (a month and a half since the last one) looks like Gurguit got hit. What does this do for standard format? Is Gurguit dead? Well, we wouldn't count it out just yet. Also, Gastille was revealed for Dark Irregulars, and it's not exactly as scary as the appearance/memes might suggest... Thanks to our $10 p...

Terrible TERRIBLE  Sonic the Hedgehog references aside, they have revealed Chaos Breaker Dragon for Clan Selection Plus. Chaos is an archetype that was a massive problem in G era due to the abundance of locking-from-hand available to the player (which James was a fan of, hence why he's here today), which caused Bushiroad to make unlocking mechanics almost too plentiful to compensate. In V ser...
