I'm having so much fun with Spikes right now. They're my favorite V clan so far. I personally use Seifried's and Bouncer's skills a lot so I run two Franny just in case (my build is the same as yours aside from not running Unite Attacker and running Panther at 3). I never use Seifried's second skill either. It normally doesn't hit, but Seifried is good enough without that second skill.
I gave in and ordered a case split playset of Spike Brothers from iDeal. Cheapest of the three, so I think I got a good deal. This clan just looks like too much fun to not play them.
Hey, DF What about the Grade 0 card that puts itself into soul, Counter Charges and Recycles a card, is there a reason for not running that, is it for grade consistency?
I honestly never run into CB problems in the long run, and since the deck can't directly tutor for her I don't really think it's worth it. You can take out my last G3 for her if you want though!
You should make a video introducing Standard to completely new players. Explaining the lore a bit "Cray, the concept of the game, how you are the Vanguard, and the most important clans." And a basic how to play. You're VERY good at explaining things and it would help me introduce the game to people if I had a short concise video I could show them to spark interest.
Spikes were my main clan when I got into the game in G era. The new Spikes are absolutely amazing, deck thinning like crazy and giving RC bonker power boosts. I found that even a budget Spike deck can be dangerous to go against, assuming the player puts in the effort to build up the soul for Unite Attacker.
DifferentFight I started playing Vanguard at the very beginning, spike brothers was my second and very best deck during the Emperor Dudley days. I stop playing before they introduced the game breaker grade 4's that require 8 G to be used. Lookin now, they seem to mimic Neo Nectar and Pale Moon
After some play testing myself With my deck. Nova graps and and tachi are a hard match up because you want to call stuff to get those numbers so less hand. And kagero is going to retire a lot of stuff so it’s not the best rn but it’s fun. Oh ott I need more play testing. It pushes them to use pg but they have no problem getting more and drawing
With Neo Nectar being announced as Force, I see their playstyle reflecting V Spikes in many ways (thick and dangerous columns, calling clones, etc). Can I ask your take on this assumption, DF, or would that spoil an upcoming video?
DF I tried your deck in CFA but I saw that most of the times I would deck out. I tried replacing the draw triggers (not the pg) with crits but it still didn't work.
I'll still wait for DifferentFight to unsheathe his Justice Sword when EB02 releases in Japan but yes, Force clans tend to be fun since their balance allots some time for fun.
So does this Force clan easily replace Royals? they seem to gain much higher numbers than royal paladin does and their main g3 unit is way stronger than any of the current royal paladin grade 3 options.
What should I do? I like Tachis because of their accel gift and their kill my own stuff mechanics Spikes look like fun and filters good Megacolony has dat control tho
So, a lot of decks recently seem to be going with 9 grade 3s, 12 grade 2s, 12 grade 1s, and 17 grade 0s as their ratios (OTT being the exception with 10, 10, 13, 17). Anyone else noticing that?
Yup! I think it's partly because of the new starters giving you a head start in card advantage, thus making it a bit easier to draw into the right grades sooner - that plus the new mulligan rules.
So how does that affect Nova Grappler and Kagero? I've been changing my decks around, and I still need to change those two decks, but...idk what grade 1 to drop in Kagero to be able to run Cruel Dragon, and also get a 12th grade 2 put in, and idk if Hi-powered Raizer Custom is still ran in Novas or not. I've been trying Rocket Hammer Man, Cup Bowler, and Asura Kaiser in the deck, and I like the Hero engine, and Asura Kaiser has actually been a decent re-stand backup grade 3 in case I get damage denied, but...I'm also debating swapping him for Miss Splendor for that no intercept skill she has. However, between the grade 2s I currently run, I'm looking at Hi-powered Raizer Custom and idk if he's still a staple or not. I'm sorry for the long comment, but do you have any advice?
I am curious of something now that I've seen your practice fight, why didn't you throw a brachi onto the field when you were first at grade 2 with the juggernaut? You could have had the 3rd attack be a 20,000 swing at a rearguard or more pressure to the vanguard. I understand not wanting to over commit, I'm just a little curious.
DifferentFight That's a very understandable decision. G assisting rips 2 cards from the hand, so I could see holding onto it just to be safe. If I have a few extra grade 2s in my hand, I tend to fill up my field for the power. Sometimes works, and sometimes a defensive trigger makes me very sad XD Overall though great video and great gameplay!
does anyone knows the program he s using would like to try and play was vanguard had a game like yugioh duel links but only japan is getting one or does anyone know if vanguard have like a ygopro program like thing?
I prefer Funky Bazooka over Gyro Slinger tbh. Using Seyfried really makes his effect stack and shine and trading 1 hand for a crapshoot superior call for Gyro is too risky for me
DifferentFight any plans to do a budget version of each of the clans from the set? Also how do we send you fight videos for you to do that amazing commentary?
It makes sense for it to be Force since V series Spikes focus on big number attacks, like the old days of Bad End Dragger. Quality over quanity, essentially.
Spikes destroy Novas for sure. But through my play testing Spikes get destroyed by OTT. Sadly my entire card shop is OTT so Spikes isn't an option unless I never want to win.
Suisiders i think the OTT matchup really needs you to just run it down and put as much damage on the board before he can recover and build his wall of sentinels. As an OTT player who has interest in this clan, spikes play like a more balanced numbers version of royals, just gonna keep the pressure and break that wall Curious for ways for Spike to solve the Kagero matchup though
Deric Tan I play OTT and as soon as I hit grade 3 with the amount of draw power OTT has with the higher grade 3 count I have a protect gift every turn. Then you include the 4 PGs in the deck and spike can literally do nothing against me. It's such an easy matchup. It feels very unfair.
Suisiders really feels like the RP matchup where if you cant put enough pressure early on, you'll die by OTT's brick wall. Can't wait to get spikes so i can also find ways around it
Yes! Love the new spikes btw. Having somewhat of a hard time against protect clans though especially megacolony since they search G3s and constantly gets Protect markers.
Enjoy America day with this amazing song: ua-cam.com/video/sr--GVIoluU/v-deo.html

Who else is triggered its america day
I've been a fan of spikes since limit break and I could not be happier with this support, it's just beautiful
I'm so excited to build spike brothers. Spikes are super strong and fun from what I've seen, and I'd love to get a hold of the deck when it drops.
I've been playing this deck on 'tradecardsonline', and it was a blast for me, as someone who hasn't played Spike Brothers in the past.

Looks like Spike Brothers are really on the ball, huh?
I love this deck, I was going to be pure Premium till I saw this deck. Now I've got to get it for standard!
I love these videos so much
Hey, DF What about the Grade 0 card that puts itself into soul, Counter Charges and Recycles a card, is there a reason for not running that, is it for grade consistency?

add her just because she's really cute.
Damnit, just last night I told myself I’d sleep on getting Spikes to save money... Now im reconsidering
WHY DO THEY LOOK SO FUN
My thoughts exactly LOL
Thanks for doing this. Great content as always.
You should make a video introducing Standard to completely new players. Explaining the lore a bit "Cray, the concept of the game, how you are the Vanguard, and the most important clans." And a basic how to play. You're VERY good at explaining things and it would help me introduce the game to people if I had a short concise video I could show them to spark interest.
Will have to send this to my friend and see what he thinks as he is a major spikes player. Good to get multiple view points when considering builds.
Spikes were my main clan when I got into the game in G era. The new Spikes are absolutely amazing, deck thinning like crazy and giving RC bonker power boosts. I found that even a budget Spike deck can be dangerous to go against, assuming the player puts in the effort to build up the soul for Unite Attacker.
Yep for sure! That’s the build I’m going with for budget Spikes too haha
DifferentFight I started playing Vanguard at the very beginning, spike brothers was my second and very best deck during the Emperor Dudley days. I stop playing before they introduced the game breaker grade 4's that require 8 G to be used. Lookin now, they seem to mimic Neo Nectar and Pale Moon
What was the tabletop simulator plugin you were talking about for English cards (at around 0:58)?
Please do Megacolony next I want to play them although still very concerned for the lack of paralysis in the deck now.
They're still really good! I think I'll get Tachikaze out first though just due to popular request haha
DifferentFight I don’t see it right now hopefully you’ll show me. Although, Sparking Hercule is a monster.
Goddamn UA-cam whats the point of ringing the bell if I dont get notified?? Smh..
Anyways.... JUSTICE!!!!!!! Phew... all is well again :)
spike plays are just nasty. last opp i had did know siefried restand skill works hitting either VG or RG. caught him slipping
Great deck preview, but I will not play SB out of VEB01 I only want some cards to upgrade my lovely Spider-Girl ;)
After some play testing myself With my deck. Nova graps and and tachi are a hard match up because you want to call stuff to get those numbers so less hand. And kagero is going to retire a lot of stuff so it’s not the best rn but it’s fun. Oh ott I need more play testing. It pushes them to use pg but they have no problem getting more and drawing
With Neo Nectar being announced as Force, I see their playstyle reflecting V Spikes in many ways (thick and dangerous columns, calling clones, etc).
Can I ask your take on this assumption, DF, or would that spoil an upcoming video?
Now I want to get Spike Bros in standard. I'm just gonna sell my g decks and go standard throughout.
I don’t have it yet but I love spike brothers
This seems similar to neo nectar.. pay cost and clone itself. As a neo nectar main I'm very interested in this although I really wanted to play megas
DF I tried your deck in CFA but I saw that most of the times I would deck out. I tried replacing the draw triggers (not the pg) with crits but it still didn't work.
I'll still wait for DifferentFight to unsheathe his Justice Sword when EB02 releases in Japan but yes, Force clans tend to be fun since their balance allots some time for fun.
So does this Force clan easily replace Royals? they seem to gain much higher numbers than royal paladin does and their main g3 unit is way stronger than any of the current royal paladin grade 3 options.
Whats the name of the song playing in the background during the demonstration fight?
Just generic uncopyrighted background music hahah
Could you do more videos of playing on table top simulator in your free time?
I actually livestream it at times! My free time is incredibly limited though haha
Could you upload the decks to the workshop? It makes it easier to get that way, if you could add all the cards of the set would be better :)
The workshop is updated with V-EB01, but I think adding my own decks will clutter it like mad since it’s low on space already :(
What should I do?
I like Tachis because of their accel gift and their kill my own stuff mechanics
Spikes look like fun and filters good
Megacolony has dat control tho
I’d personally suggest Spikes, Tachi can brick really easily and Megacolony can get a bit boring sometimes
Do tachikaze next bro! It's the only clan I like in the set!

From reading your comments your doing tachi next but alot of us are waiting for megas lol , btw could you upload your streams?
I might do a ‘best moments’ compilation if people request it enough haha
When all the premium stuff goes up you need to go on another Trading Sage hunt.
HAPPY 4TH of july!!!!! "
DO ONE FOR MEGA COLONY!!! NEXT PLEASE
Huh! Deck thinning! Deck thinning is deck winning! Bro I’m about to play this until my clans come out.
This guy gets it!
DF, for Brakki's skill, is it mandatory to put it into soul during the start of main phase?
Nope, you can choose!
DifferentFight even though it's an auto skill?
Basically all AUTO skills that have the [Cost] icon in the skill are 'you may' skills, so you do them if you want, but you don't have to.
I am curious of something now that I've seen your practice fight, why didn't you throw a brachi onto the field when you were first at grade 2 with the juggernaut? You could have had the 3rd attack be a 20,000 swing at a rearguard or more pressure to the vanguard. I understand not wanting to over commit, I'm just a little curious.
Yeah it was honestly just not wanting to over commit, especially since I could've potentially G Assisted there.
DifferentFight
That's a very understandable decision. G assisting rips 2 cards from the hand, so I could see holding onto it just to be safe. If I have a few extra grade 2s in my hand, I tend to fill up my field for the power. Sometimes works, and sometimes a defensive trigger makes me very sad XD
Overall though great video and great gameplay!
do you think general seifried wil be 20 euro
Spike Brothers : Wham!! Bam!! Thank you maam 😎
does anyone knows the program he s using would like to try and play was vanguard had a game like yugioh duel links but only japan is getting one
or does anyone know if vanguard have like a ygopro program like thing?
Tabletop Simulator - guide in description!
Different fight is right now hyping over dimension police
When you call a g3 from spike bouncer or gyro ability even if your vg is g2 or below can you attack with that G3?
Yup, you can! Superior Calling doesn't have any restrictions in terms of grade.
DifferentFight really?? Then a guy in CFA lied to me and insulted me he told me that I didn't know how to play
GALLOWS BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's app you using to play cardfight on
Tabletop Simulator!
I prefer Funky Bazooka over Gyro Slinger tbh. Using Seyfried really makes his effect stack and shine and trading 1 hand for a crapshoot superior call for Gyro is too risky for me
You could topdeck into Juggernaut turn 1 though :’)
Can you use seigfried more than once per turn?
Yup, the first skill can be used multiple times!
Kinda surprised there's no Funky Bazooka.
At first I played him over Garry Gannon, but then I quickly realised how good Garry is after trying him once haha
If I’m good at playing Spike Brothers does that mean I’m good at football 🏈
AMERICAN football that is :')
YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS lol
DifferentFight any plans to do a budget version of each of the clans from the set?
Also how do we send you fight videos for you to do that amazing commentary?
I feel like this should be an accel deck.
It makes sense for it to be Force since V series Spikes focus on big number attacks, like the old days of Bad End Dragger. Quality over quanity, essentially.
@@RvBnerd618 I suppose
Megacolony next please
Probably gonna be Tachikaze first, but I'm aiming to have both out this week!
Do a premium version please
i really hope this deck aint expensive!!!
Currently it's looking pretty cheap!
One more fight on table top where you actually win using Seyfried!
Like this comment who want this fight
Spikes destroy Novas for sure. But through my play testing Spikes get destroyed by OTT. Sadly my entire card shop is OTT so Spikes isn't an option unless I never want to win.

“Stand up, Vanguard!”
Is it too late to get a heart?
Never too late :’)
Yes! Love the new spikes btw. Having somewhat of a hard time against protect clans though especially megacolony since they search G3s and constantly gets Protect markers.
Do tachi next please :D
Planning on doing so!
DifferentFight :D cant wait
is it just me or is solem vanguard kinda anoying
XxXdankfordayzXxX Lol just you
k
