I Commentated The Finals of a Japanese Vanguard Tourney 

Yes, please!

Really happy to hear!

Do tell how he changed your mind, I'm curious. I wanted to like this deck and even pulled an FFR for it, but it's just pure bs for anything except the mirrors and any other tier 1 deck (and even that is debatable)

@@CosmicNebula444 well when I first get to know this deck, I see this deck as a no brainier deck, like really straight forward. What changed me wasn’t really Christ but the players playing this deck, seeing how this deck has its flaws and some strategic choices to make really gives point to the deck (to me, i like having to make little choices mid battle). Having need to make decisions, controlling the game and your resources made me open up to this deck. My point. Question, wdym by pure bs for anything. I actually beat 3 out of 4 matches of Gandeeva with messiah. And messiah isn’t even tier 1.

@eugenelim9569 Messiah isn't a deck I know much about admittedly, but most decks in the game can't handle power scaling that ramps up this quick. It's also why stride decks are on my hit list, in a format with no shield skills like these are too overwhelming, but Gandeeva takes it to another level. Any "flaws" the deck has come from bricking, and saying a deck is fine just because it can brick isn't a good justification. This was a good game, don't get me wrong, I can also clearly see the different plays here and how the different approaches changed their gamestate. Was fascinating, honestly. But fact of the matter is, against any other deck, the game wouldn't have lasted that long. That turn 4 of the first player with what, 40k+ attacks would've killed. Both of these guys hit defensive OT too which is just hilarious I'm sorry if I'm saying all this as matter of fact but, I'm very passionate about my distaste for this deck. Aside from a couple matchups, man steamrolls everything in its path, and I just can't see otherwise.

@@CosmicNebula444 Man I feel you, stride decks were a mistake. But from what’s been released by Bushiroad, there are some decks which are getting better and better as the set go, smth like welstra got really strong after a few sets and promos. So I have hope for the future that decks we love will get to compete with gandeeva in the future ( tho yes your point we can’t compete with it with our decks now). Btw, I love how you point out shield values are essential in this format, Im also hoping for amazing defensive support in the future too. Anywayss as a messiah player I can be safe to tell you that the only way you win is to rush them early and hope they don’t get defensive. That is the only weakness to the deck besides piece reliant. It ain’t as flexible as chronojet but you must prevent late game when fighting this deck.

@eugenelim9569 Finally someone else who thinks stride decks were a bad idea lmao but that's exactly what I mean, I hate when your best way to beat a deck is to "hope and pray," gotta put your foot down at some point and say "maybe this is a bit too much" But yeah I miss 10k shield grade 1s man 😭

Damn you're right, missed that even when re-watching

i thought there was some big brain play going on that I don't know about since it's a "you may" skill 😂

You are right. The player on the right side did misplay his first grade 3 turn. I noticed that also.

I also didn’t see him draw 2 after using Best Harvest to retire 2 on his 2nd G3 turn

@@Sol-Kage Had he played the deck like he was supposed to I think he would have lost.

the deck is unfair, virtually has no counterplay, as it gains advantage either way you play against it

It should have been 20k. There was a lot of bad numbers throughout the vid honestly , which shows everyone can make mistakes. @16:08 theres an underguard from the player on the right also

nope you can't take any kind of note during the game

Incorrect , you can make notes during the game as long as theyre in a timely manner and not slowing the game down. Specifically rule 3.18 @@muhammadnuryuliantos5778

It's from Pokemon Colosseum. I think it's the Team Cipher theme

He got a defensive from taking the Alfakar swing prior and 2 more defensives from Vanguard swing

His second dmg was a trigger too. But he didnt put a +10k then. Only after he took another 3 dmg and got 2 trigger then he place the +30k

@@blastchaos4286thanks missed that
