G-Units are a pivotal part in many decks, but there are some, which put simply just aren't good. They either contradict their decks play style, are way too overpriced or just are not effective. Today we are going to... Celebrate? the worst of the worst. There is only one rule: The G-Unit must have an effect.
5: Amon's Talon, Marchocias.
 |
| A pretty Ironic flavour, really. |
[Stride]
[Act] (VC) (1/Turn) (CB1) If you have a heart with "Amon" in it's card name, choose two of your rear-guards with "Amon" in it's card name, and those units and this unit get +3000p for every card in the soul.
Marchocias, a RRR in the fighters collection, with such Gems as Heavyduke, Destroyer and Jorurirakan. Must be good, right? Nope. He's a somewhat mediocre finisher, simply increasing the power of the field for a counterblast. The main question is: Why would I run him in the deck? We have Demagogue and Kisskill Lila when we have few cards in the soul and we have Gilles Des Rais when we have 15+ cards in soul. So where does Marchocias go? After Gilles Des Rais, the card that is almost impossible to survive two of and is most effective with Bar Maid Grace, the starter of the Sub-Clan that this card supports. So essentially, you are only ever going to run one, and even when you use him, he isn't really that threatening.
4: Sovereign Black Dragon, Aurageyser Dragon
 |
| So weak it saddens me! |
[Auto] (VC) (CB1) & (SB1) & Choose a face down card named Sovereign Black Dragon, Aurageyser Dragon from your G-Zone, and turn it face up & Choose two of your rearguards and retire them.] When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost, if you do, reveal the top two cards of your deck, for every grade 1 or lower card revealed, this unit gains 5000 [Power], Put the cards revealed with this effect into your hand.
The idea of this card is interesting, but this card has way too many problems for it to be anything but incredibly niche. First off, your opponent sees the cards, If you specifically searched for the cards, I'd be fine with that, but you don't. You don't even get a selection of the top X of the deck. It's an inferior draw, why? Because your opponent doesn't see the cards when you just plain draw! Aurageyser gains power from it? So what? G-Units basically require a perfect guard anyway. Second of, you retire two cards on the field, so it's a 0+ for CB1 SB1 and a Persona Flip. You can plus if you retire David or Charon? So you're running cards in your deck and that space could be used by other (and possibly more effective) cards just because those cards work for this card and Diablo? If you want to plus in Shadows Paladins just use Grim Recruiter, He's free, doesn't retire RG and can tutor.
3: Interdimensional Dragon, Epoch-Maker Dragon.
 |
| You'd need to be in a different dimension To think this was good. |
[Stride]
[Auto] (VC) When this unit's attack hits a vanguard, you may choose one of your rearguard, and bind it face up. If you do, search your deck for up to 1 Grade 3 card, call it to (RC), shuffle your deck, at the end of the turn, put the card called with this effect to the bottom of the deck, If you put a card to the bottom of the deck this way, choose a card that was bound with this effect, and call it to (RC)
Gear Chronicle, a control clan who focus on putting your opponent's rearguard to the bottom of the deck. They aren't lacking in G-Units to say the least. For a GR in the fighter's collection, we expected Gear Chronicle to get Chronodragon Nextage (Who was just announced as the G-rare of GBT-04, whose skill is unknown as of writing) Imagine our disappointment when we got... This. This card is only mildly useful if you stride it first and use Glimmer Breath, whose sole purpose this card was to make usable. This card allows Gear Chronicle to be a bit more aggressive, and can push damage slightly quicker. It can also allow you to use Glimmer Breath Twice to remove two RG as well. But the card relies on hitting, and using a card like Lost Age if they have few, Chronoscommand if they have many or Upheaval if you want to break the field quickly without a cost is much better.
2: Golden Dragon, Spear Cross Dragon.

| No funny caption, This card's art burnt out my eyes |
[Stride]
[Auto] (VC) (CB2) & Choose a face down card Called Golden Dragon, Spear Cross Dragon in your G-Zone and turn it face up. When this card is placed on (VC), If the number of face up cards in your G-Zone is one of more, you may pay the cost. If you do, look at the top 5 cards of the deck, and for every face up card card in the G-Zone, choose a card from among them and call it to (RC), and shuffle your deck.
Mass Superior Calling, It wasn't good in the LB era, it's not good now. This card is slightly better then those, only because you only have to use it when you need to, The cards only use is regenerating fields, but if you have to regenerate your field using this card, you're probably already losing. There's not much more to say about this card.
1: Nebula Dragon, Maximum Seal Dragon
 |
| I have no words... This card is THAT bad. |
[Stride]
[Auto] (VC) (CB1) When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost, If you do, this card gets +5000 for every locked card, until end of that battle
Well Done, they managed to make a card that is completely outclassed by cards you can use in any deck, Why? to activate this card's effect so you can get Miracle Element Atmos' skill, you need to pay a cost of CB2, And because you'd only ever use this unit in the late game, you could use Snow Element Blizza, who can get this cards effect while only having to pay CB1.
Let's all hope, for Vanguard's sake, that G-Units are never this terrible again.
