CFV Weekly Update 17th March, 2017

Just to quickly go through the Heal Triggers of this week, we have ‘Lozenge Magus Fine’ for Oracle Think Tank. It’s got the skill to “drop a Grade 1 or less to draw one”. We also have ‘Specialist Vincent’ for Dark Irregulars who “goes into the Soul”, and ‘Refugee Spangled’ for Great Nature and ‘Extreme Battler, Ganseal’ for Nova Grappler who have the “Soul Blast to Counter Charge.”

Oracle Think Tank's G Guardian is ‘Singularity Protector, Lozenge Magus Apex’. Her skill is “[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, look at two cards from the top of your deck, put a card into your hand, and put a card on the bottom of your deck.” So unfortunately it's not the huge Shield that Oracle Think Tank deserve, but a draw does help for your next turn if you want to be in Oracle. I don't think this card needs the Counter Blast, but at least you can use this ability against a rear-guard attack.

‘Medicine of Discontinuation, Vincent’ is the G Guardian for Dark Irregulars. “[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, Soul Charge (1), and this unit gets [Shield]+5000 for every five cards in your soul until end of that battle.” The Soul Charge does definitely help, and both he and the Heal Trigger Soul Charge. In most Decks it should be fairly easy to get 15-20 cards in your soul, so it shouldn’t be hard to get to 30-35k Shield. For ‘Amon’ you may be able to get it even higher, and for ‘Blade Wings’ he'll get another 10k Shield on top of that so generally this works really well for the Clan.

‘Boxed Daughter, Spangled’ is for Great Nature. “[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 any number of your grade 3 or less guardians, and until end of that battle, they get "[AUTO]:When this unit is retired from (GC), draw a card.".” So this doesn't gain any extra Shield but you're not losing anything for the other cards you may Guard with. You could also combine this with a Quintet Wall if you're feeling brave to get five extra cards. Also you will be able to swap shieldless Grade 3s for something hopefully more defensive if you're in trouble. 

‘Meteokaiser, Gandread’ is Nova Grappler's. “[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 one of your vanguards, and until end of turn, it gets "[AUTO](VC):At the end of the battle that this unit was attacked, if the attack did not hit, Counter Charge (1).".” This is an interesting one but I feel that Nova Grappler have a decent amount of Counter Chargers already. However, when going against something with lots of little attacks, you can probably Counter Charge 5 in one turn.

For the Legend Deck we have a Stride shown to us with ‘Holy Dragon, Myriad Soul Saver’. It has “[AUTO](VC):[Soul Blast (3)] When this unit attacks a vanguard, if you have a heart card with "Alfred" or "Blaster" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose up to five of your rear-guards, they get [Power]+5000 until end of turn.” This is a really nice card that you can use on your first turn, but you will most likely only get to use it once due to its high cost. I'd still recommend running one of this in a ‘Blaster’ deck, but make sure if you are using ‘Religious Soul Saver’ that you use ‘Religious’ first.

‘Wingal Youth’ is a Grade 1 for the Legend Deck. “[AUTO](RC):When an attack hits a vanguard during the battle that this unit attacked or boosted, look at seven cards from the top of your deck, reveal up to one card with "Blaster Blade" in its card name from among them, put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck. If you put a card into your hand, put this unit into your soul.” I love that this is pre-G and can use its ability with a Vanguard or rear-guard. As well as ‘Blaster Blade’, you can also search for ‘Blaster Blade Exceed’, ‘Blaster Blade Spirit’, and ‘Blaster Blade Seeker’ which makes this card a lot better and helps it to be a part of more than one build. 

Lastly we have ‘Bringer of Divine Grace, Epona’ who just has the same skill as ‘Holy Knight Guardian’ with being a Counter Charging Perfect Guard.
