Winter is
coming and a lot has and will happen in the world of Vanguard. Blue Storm
Armada spoiler has been announced and so new reprints regarding Nova Grappler
and Oracle Think Tank have.
Today we
are going to review BT08 and get a taste of the future metagame.
Blue Storm
Armada really brought up a lot of support for some “forgotten” clans like
Tachikaze, Dimensional Police and Neo Nectar. Let’s take a closer look:
Neo Nectar
This clan
is about pushing your opponents with your beatsticks and force them to
literally guard against each of your attacks. In this new set a new archetype
and a new chain ride is introduced. 
“All for
one and one for all” This archetype is practically revolving around retiring/thinning
and recycling in order to achieve the best formation you can have. Equipped
with a Limit breaker and with a mass of “recycling” units a strong and solid
line-up doesn’t seem so difficult.
And off
course we can’t forget the mighty chain ride. This chain is about powering up
your solid formation with minimum cost effectively making every of your attacks
hitting the 20-21k powerline easily.
Tachikaze
Another
“forgotten” deck has finally been revitalized getting new really good support.
Tachikaze is going to attract a lot of attention for sure. Getting 2 limit
breakers isn’t a small feat and certainly their support units would not be too
kind too. Retiring and powering while getting advantage and pushing your
opponent to extremes, sapping away their defenses doesn’t sound bad at all.
Chain Ride and a potential double twin drive is a fierce combination that
cannot be overlooked.
Dimensional Police
The Justice
League of Planet Cray finally got new recruits and not just any recruits but
the Ultimate Justice Sword and a new chain ride as well ( it seems that we’re
getting a lot of them recently). The new chain ride focuses around weakening
the enemy vanguard making powerless in front of your mighty Police. As for the
Ultimate Dimensional Robo Daiyusha,13k
potentially superior crossride unit with a free LB making your vanguard
a huge finisher especially when you combined it with units such as Dailander.
And now the
Man dish.
My new favorite, Aqua Force.
A lot of great units has been released, 2 more Limit breakers have entered the
fray accompanied by their own support, Storm Riders. I won’t get into details
because this is going to be my next topic.
Last new
Narukami units have been introduced. They are not seem very impressive for now
, but Narukami is certainly a great clan and new ways can be ventured to
incorporate these new recruits into your Thunder army.
Blue Storm
Armada is a great collection that will cause a lot of turmoil to the seas of
Cray and will set new rules to the upcoming format. Get Ready! Let’s Imagine!
Lets Vanguard!
