So you know those imaginary gift things that we've talked about extensively since the reboot happened? Well guess what- there's two of them now. That's right, every imaginary gift: force, accel, and protect, all have second counterparts. Each of them are different variations on the gift system, and introduce an element of strategy (starting with the upcoming EB07 in May for Japan) to a basic game mechanic that is certainly a sight to behold.

Join us as we speculate on what it could mean for the metagame!

It's set review time once again! And this time, we have the dumbest name for a set we've ever seen: Light of Salvation, Logic of Destruction. Pick one, Bushiroad, jeez! 

Anyway, with support for Royal Paladin, Kagero, Nova Grappler, and Link Joker, are the cards in the set as big a failure as the name is? Come find out!

As more Link Joker stuff gets revealed, the starhulks, a new archetype that focuses on reversing trigger effects, have come to town. What does this mean for standard format? Will they be any good? And what is the deal with link joker in general?

Oh dear god, they've finally arrived. Bermuda Triangle is coming to Standard format. With a trial deck and an extra booster (both of which we'll be covering), Root Beer has taken over Nexus at Night to explain the new set of mermaids. Are they all they're cracked up to be, or will they just be Paladins.fish?

In yet another episode of card design talk, our merry trio of hosts is talking two cards that were revealed recently: Heart Monopoly, Anezka, and the new version of Majesty Lord Blaster. Both cards have effects that don't seem to be like anything Bushiroad has done before in their card design, and they're there to figure out what this could mean for the game. Also Atlas will probably freak out and the other two will give him grief for it. You won't wanna miss it!

The meta is a confusing thing for a lot of people. How do you decide what's good? Where are people getting their numbers from when they say a deck or a clan is meta? Well, we talk to one person who actually has a concrete answer. Join your favorite trio of idiots as they talk to a man known as Dexander, who creates pie charts of what is winning in the Japanese standard metagame on a monthly basis (or rather, every time a new set comes out and the meta changes.) What goes into these charts, and how trustworthy are they?

It's time for more premium format talk! With this upcoming premium collection in June, the guys talk about what each clan in Vanguard needs, and what a second set of zeroth dragons could do in order to properly capture the flavor of all the clans in a single nation.

Have you ever lost with a deck, look at your opponent and think, "man, if I just played against him with something else I would've beaten him" Well do we have the format for you! 

First tested at this year's worlds and brought to our attention by Differentfight, the 2 deck format would be a new way of conducting tournaments, using two decks in a best-of-three match. The guys unpack what this might mean for the game on the whole if implemented on a large scale, and its merits.

Unlike this podcast, Bushiroad, the company that created our lovely Cardfight Vanguard, has released their plans for most of the rest of 2019! 

What does this mean for our hosts? Well, it means Matt gets to bring up Shirayuki for the 1000th time, but it also means that they get to speculate on what this means for the meta, and what this says about Bushiroad's R&D department. Come on in and watch us bitch!

Guess what, Gabe's back! That's right, previous host of this very podcast and sarcastic wit of Nexus Corps has returned. But it's not to berate our trio, it's to conduct a thought experiment. What would happen if Vanguard decks only required half the amount of triggers, or triggers were of different grades? Come listen and participate in the discussion!
