Cards of the week! 13th edition.

New Card:

Honorary Assistant, Mikesaburo

[Auto]:When this unit is placed on [RC] during your main phase, choose one of your other rearguards, and until end of this turn, this unit gets "[Auto] During your end phase, when this unit is put into the drop-zone from [RC], search your deck for up to one grade 3 card, reveal it to your opponent, put it into your hand and shuffle your deck."

The RR from the fighter's collection, and it is essentially a slightly different version of Coiling Duckbill

Or to be more precise, it's a hybrid of Duckbill and Minibelly. This card is pretty amazing; it's usable during the early game, can search for any grade 3 and helps generate advantage.

It's worth noting that to use it in the early game requires you to run either Binoculus or Tapir. I'd personally recommend Binoculus because you can still use Mike if you ride Binoculus and Binoculus does not have resist like Tapir.

Verdict: Exceptional: Staple playset in every Great Nature Deck.





Old Card:

Honorary Professor, Chatnoir.

[Auto] [VC] [LB4]:When a <Great Nature> rides this unit, choose your vanguard, until end of turn, that unit gets [Power] +10000 & "[Auto] [VC] When your rearguard attacks a vanguard, choose one of your <Great Nature> rearguards, and until end of turn, that unit gets [power] +4000, and at the end of that turn, draw a card and retire that unit.

[Auto] [VC]:When this unit attacks a vanguard, this unit gets [Power] +2000 until end of turn.

[Cont] [VC/RC]:Lord

Some people say that break-rides are all but out of Vanguard's meta-game. I personally disagree. There are a select few break-rides that are still powerful in this meta-game.

This is one of those break-rides.

This card combos really well with Crayon Tiger, one of the best amber clones in vanguard in my humble opinion, turning Chatnoir's usual +1 into a +2, and allowing for an additional attack and powering up a single column by 12000 power. Combine this with cards like Tester Fox, Researcher Fox, Duckbill and Mikeasaburo and Pencil Koala and you have a turn where you can generate advantage extremely quickly.

And all this is even before we know about Chatnoir's Stride, which we'll have to wait and see what Bushiroad has in store for us!

Verdict: Purrfect (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
