Cardfight Vanguard Deck Tech – Minerva

By Serena L.

Stand Up! Vanguard!

It’s Serena! And this time I brought you a blast from the past: it’s time for a deck tech on one of the Encounter decks and fan favorite unit, Minerva. Like the Chronojet Stride Deck we’ve talked about previously, Minerva and her support cards are from older versions of Vanguard that were all given Overdress facelifts for the standard format. This deck centers around the Clans of older Cardfight Vanguard formats, specifically around the Clan Genesis. Genesis is one of the Clans that formed Keter Sanctuary but many of the cards specifically look for things with just Genesis as it’s Clan, so I’ll be referring to those as ‘Genesis units’. You can play any Keter Sanctuary card in a Overdress Genesis based deck like this, but they might complicate things if they aren’t also a Genesis unit.

Great Holiday Gift Ideas for Gamers

In some ways, buying gifts for board or card gamers is easy – just buy them more cards or games! However, this runs the risk of giving duplicate gifts, or perhaps something they just don’t like. Accessories to store, organize, and display a collection always make great gifts. In fact, the larger the collection, the more these are needed.

Binder Numbering System

By Matt Gilman

Trading card binders have always played a significant role in the storage of my collection. It’s where I store my important cards with the rest kept in boxes. There used to be a time where I would just stick cards in a binder without any thought to organization. But, when it came time to find a card, I would have to sift through fifty or so binders just to locate it. This was becoming time consuming and frustrating. That’s when I thought about ways to make it easier to find cards and created this binder numbering system. This has been very useful for finding what I need in a timely manner.
