(because EVERYONE and their DOGS play Paladins and ask for deck help)Ĭard Base - Alfred. After picking the base of the deck it's really just adding in staples and complimentary cards that allow you to hit the 'magic numbers' while firing off abilities to 'plus'.ĮXAMPLE - Royal Paladins. So how do you build a deck? Simple, pick an 'engine' or a card that you want to base you deck around (In this example i will restrict myself to the English set 1 + the two initial trial decks). Good examples of this is Silent Tom for Oracle Think Tanks, Blaster Blade for Paladins, Kimnala for Kagero, Claydoll Mechanic for Novas. Now, besides the Heal triggers and the null guards, each clan has powerful 'staple' cards that are used in most decks for the clan, no matter what the strategy of the deck is. And although i don't think i need to say it, 4 heal triggers is pretty much required for any deck, even though it's not a rule. For example, I personally use 4 null-guards in every single deck that i play, and the reason is pretty clear. So what can you do to keep up with the meta? Live every other card game, the major points are in deck building. Of course other decks are there, such as Oracle decks and what not. The combination of the two above, I believe make the 'meta' and it can be seen in the decks that are constantly winning in the big Japanese events, which are mostly Paladins, who's abilities let them do of both of the above and the Kagero who are able to 'neg' the opponent so that you are able to net advantage.

To me, the game has always been about 'plus-ing' in either hand or field and 'big beats' to make the opponent 'neg', this is explained very well in the 'Magic Numbers' theory.

What do you think makes the meta in Vanguard? Ladies(However few there may be) and Mentelgen, I come here today wanting to discuss the 'metagame' as the title suggests. If you haven't figured it out by now, there are many strategies in the Vanguard TCG that can make you either win or lose the game, hell, each 'clan' is based off one of these strategies. I made the following post on Pojo, as there seems to be a few people that needed deck help after taking up the English version of Vanguard that just came out.
