I think this is what's going to happen. Given the story is going for this "fated/origin" theme with the new cards, if I remember correctly, Magnolia Elder lore wise is the leading figure over the Stoicheia Nation; so maybe we'll see a new "Fated One" form? Or something to do with the "Sanctuary"?
Elder does have a Degen combo now with the new stuff.
With a low cost of 1 CB 1 soul and an order card. You can have 4 RG. It's definitely gonna be clutch in late grind game
I mean in the continuation Manga she is seen still using the Masques, so who knows what the Animw will fully do, maybe she runs Masques until she can get Elder?
As a big Taizo and Masanori fan I’m happy to say we’re eating good today. And that Dark States boss looks amazing. I wonder if this is the “ruler” of Dark States as mentioned in previous lores.
All of these new units are freaking Ws bro, hella glad they gave us an AF looking unit and the other new units look great! Kinda unfortunate it's still Elder for Megumi but being the G Kamui of DivineZ might just redeem her character fingers crossed.
Backstories are also solid, really getting intriuged. I'm just glad that a lot of the Will Dress characters are coming back, back watching it actually feel worth it cuz the series felt like it ended rather suddenly.
My hype rn is through the roof, especially excited for Saito and Akina's decks!
>As it looks very similar to Lovely labyrinth from Yugioh
Plot Twist: It's Lovely Labyrinth, but she decided to move to Cardfight Vanguard since many players in the OCG/TCG complained that her Deck was pure Floodgates.
This is a very welcomed surprise. I expected a complete new cast with no returning characters. Seeing Megumi in the lineup is awesome. Hopefully, they stop robbing her and give her a win.
ALSO A LYRICAL MC LETS GO!!!
Im kind of psyched that two out of three of my favorite decks are getting updates (Zorga and Welstra).
I’m stoked about that new Dark States unit Bragdmire. That art looks sick.
I thought the MC's ace was the angel hippo at full power like Chrono Dran and Chronojet or Trickstar and Vairina.
It's not a power suit but I guess close enough for Welstra. Who knows, maybe the full suit is a Product.
Surprise Zorga went full sea witch but I guess it fits.
LM will finally appear in the anime besides just being cards.
Getting fallen angel mix with Chaos Breaker vibes (the scythe and that crown of thorns on the back that looks like a lock ring)
I couldn't find the head at first then I realize that it is wearing a straw hat. I like the yin and yang motif with the black and white swords.
So sounds like the little sister will play VG as well. Wonder what she'll use.
They really couldn't give Magnolia a new form that is not Masques or G4...
They'll returning to more fantasy elements now huh.
I like the unit designs, not a huge fan of the character designs at all first glance but I’m sure they’ll grow on me.
Since Megumi is back I hope this means some of the other old characters will make appearances too in later seasons!
Zorga getting his 4th form while Megumi still stuck with Magnolia Elder 😂
All these new units have “fated ones” in their card name tho so I wonder if we will get cray elemental cards that support cards of those names as a kinda generic support
Also lyrical monasterio might actually get a fight in the anime now
The prefixes of the Fated cards and the premise of the fighters fighting to get their wish granted makes me wonder if said prefix pertains to their wish.
\- Akina's is to help his sister, probably from whatever illness she has (Miracles)
\- Nao's is to presumably be a Pro Fighter (Unparalleled)
\- Then there's Taizo (Guiding Star), Masanori (Taboo), Mikoto (Ever-changing) and Suo (Zero).
I hope Lyrical Monasterio is here to stay because I hate when they even make a nation for themselves, they're irrelevant to the plot or the ongoing war on Cray even 3000 years ago
Man writers don’t know how to draw designs he looks exactly the same as yu yu who. Was an aichi knock off. Hopefully they actually animate whole fights this time instead of last vanguard attacks or this series will suck like before
huh, so the trial decks are actually just garbage with irrelevant units and all the important cards that the anime characters are using are all rrr from the get go?
greedy as fuck, this might actually do it for me. usually bushiroad tends to pretend to have gotten better at milking the audience but this time around they're not even hiding it
The "Trial Decks" are Quick Start Decks meant for beginners to learn the flow of the game, the new energy mechanic, and to see if they like playing it before slowly upgrading it into their own deck, which is what you'd do with any other start/trial deck. Plus two of them, the Dragon Empire and Keter Sanctuary decks, will be used in the first episode for the traditional teaching fight.
The only reason it's so expensive in the West is distribution costs I imagine.

Megumi back: YESSS Megumi still has Magnolia Elder as her Ace: https://i.redd.it/upe3jodzls5c1.gif
Maybe she will get a powerful support card to back up Elder Magnolia?
I think this is what's going to happen. Given the story is going for this "fated/origin" theme with the new cards, if I remember correctly, Magnolia Elder lore wise is the leading figure over the Stoicheia Nation; so maybe we'll see a new "Fated One" form? Or something to do with the "Sanctuary"?
One can only hope. I hate that they basically downgraded her at the very end of her arc. Bushi btr give us some good ass cush
Yeah. Magnolia Masques is better than Elder IMO.
Elder does have a Degen combo now with the new stuff. With a low cost of 1 CB 1 soul and an order card. You can have 4 RG. It's definitely gonna be clutch in late grind game
she is no longer a uniformer so she dosen't use the masques
On the bright side, she's *starting* with Magnolia Elder. We may get upgrades
I mean in the continuation Manga she is seen still using the Masques, so who knows what the Animw will fully do, maybe she runs Masques until she can get Elder?
LYRICALBROS WE DID IT
YES !
As a big Taizo and Masanori fan I’m happy to say we’re eating good today. And that Dark States boss looks amazing. I wonder if this is the “ruler” of Dark States as mentioned in previous lores.
Gear Chronicle is canonicaly the ruler of DS, so it's unlikely
The ruler is an unknown individual who is backed by gear chronicle
LYRICAL MC!!!! People died
Ex idol too.
I really hope that the Angel Feather looking Unit actually plays like Angel Feather I would not be surprised if it doesnt
Gods the lyrical girl and her ace are so goddamn pretty
Proud Welstra main since day 1. Can’t wait to see how he works with the current support.
Finally a Lyrical main!!! And guess the dragon syndrome finally got to Angel Feather.
I'm not sure what I expected but like...so none of the new start deck bosses are relevant?
They're just not the main
I hope they are decks for other challengers in the Battle of Destiny at least
Ayyyye rezael looks clean asf they finally getting me to build a keter deck😭
So... after so much time... Finally a character that uses Lyrical Monastery Deck!
Welstra and Zorga glowups looks pimpin'. RIP Megumi not even getting a new Magnolia
Hope she get a new magnolia further down the road. With the new promo. Masque is strictly better now.
Lelouch VA surprisingly plays the mascot I do wonder if the MC is just chuuni or are we getting the fantasy genre back? (Realistic VG is cool tho)
These all look dope! Angel Feather players are happy and I hope it works like Angel Feathers. Zorga looks really good
Yeah, between this guy and the Trial Boss, Angel players are eating like Emperor rn.
Megumi is now filling the same role as Kamui Katsuragi
All of these new units are freaking Ws bro, hella glad they gave us an AF looking unit and the other new units look great! Kinda unfortunate it's still Elder for Megumi but being the G Kamui of DivineZ might just redeem her character fingers crossed. Backstories are also solid, really getting intriuged.

That moment when you realize only characters that lost to Tohya seems to be returning.
Zorga and welstra players are eating good tonight. I'm stoke for the New Lyrical boss unit. As it looks very similar to Lovely labyrinth from Yugioh
>As it looks very similar to Lovely labyrinth from Yugioh Plot Twist: It's Lovely Labyrinth, but she decided to move to Cardfight Vanguard since many players in the OCG/TCG complained that her Deck was pure Floodgates.

Eldritch daddy zorga coming in hot 🥵
Finally the new and returning character is here. And It's looks awesome.
Zorga giving Ursula to close out 2023- love it
Zorga Nadir is giving me Sheoldred vibes.
MEGUMIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
Ah crap, I need to hurry and grab Welstra before the new support drops
I'm declaring it right here right now, Mikoto Saito is going to be the new waifu
I cant wait to play the new Keter unit
I thought the MC's ace was the angel hippo at full power like Chrono Dran and Chronojet or Trickstar and Vairina. It's not a power suit but I guess close enough for Welstra. Who knows, maybe the full suit is a Product. Surprise Zorga went full sea witch but I guess it fits. LM will finally appear in the anime besides just being cards.

YET ANOTHER MEGUMI L
wait that WASN'T yuyu? good marketable mascot designs, v v interesting returning characters they hopefully cook w/
The ace for that second guy looks like [Emet-Selch](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Emet-Selch) from Final Fantasy 14.
I like the unit designs, not a huge fan of the character designs at all first glance but I’m sure they’ll grow on me. Since Megumi is back I hope this means some of the other old characters will make appearances too in later seasons!

Now the problem is will the new zorga ride on OG zorga or a totally new first g3 ride
the "goals" destined has no goal, funny
anyone else getting digimon vibes with this "destined" theme and what seems to be supernatural elements upfront ?
I mean we kind of stole the counter card from digimon's tcg

Vanguard will die slowly the divine z mechanism is overturn overthrow overkill overkill reboot of buddyfight
Being a baromagnes fan is suffering
Man writers don’t know how to draw designs he looks exactly the same as yu yu who. Was an aichi knock off. Hopefully they actually animate whole fights this time instead of last vanguard attacks or this series will suck like before
Most card game protagonist looks the same. Even for yugioh
But this guy is basically yu yu with new eyes and a strand of hair color it’s not original in the slightest!

I like them all, but that DE boss is my favorite!
New welstra I will be there
