In the heat of the battle, Vairina soars to new heights in a new form: “Flaring Cannon Equip, Baur Vairina”! By putting Baur Vairina in its X-OverDress state, you gain access to the rest of its potent abilities! You can retire an enemy rear-guard during your main phase; as long as you can pay the cost, you can use this ability repeatedly to clear the enemy board! Then, when this rear-guard attacks the opposing vanguard, it gains Power for each of your opponent’s open rear-guard circles; if your opponent has one or less rear-guards, Baur Vairina gains the ability to drive check for that battle! Use this blazing ally to lay waste to your opponent’s field, pressure with more drive checks and regain card advantage!

Supporting Baur Vairina are Prayer Dragons like “Break Equip Dragon, Urbargo” and “Pierce Equip Dragon, Valsable”! Both cards activate their abilities when they become an originalDress; Urbargo Soul-Charges 2 and retire an enemy rear-guard, while Valsable calls a grade 1 or less <Prayer Dragon> like “Crushing Equip Dragon, Khatyaguard” or “Sharp Equip Dragon, Adamaros” to the field! Last but not least, there’s “Lavamane Wyvern” that moves itself to soul after boosting your Nirvana vanguard to enhance one of your rear-guards with originalDress! This card package generates sufficient soul to activate Baur Vairina’s retire ability while strengthening it to be a potent attacker!

Next up, we have a great lineup of cards enhancing the Eugene ride line! When it enters the field, “Meteor Flare Dragon” disables all enemy rear-guard CONT abilities, and prevents them from gaining them! It then retires an enemy rear-guard in the same column! Meteor Flare also gains extra Power when your opponent’s vanguard is grade 3 or greater and they do not have any rear-guards. Use this unit to overcome cards with protective abilities like “Maiden of Deep Impression, Urjula” or “Knight of Protective Spear, Arthen”!

Other synergistic cards include “Assault Bullet of Dust Storm, Oswald”, “Strike Cannon of Dust Storm, Andrea” and “Beautiful Bullet of Dust Storm, Jodi”! After Oswald boosts your Eugene vanguard, if your opponent’s vanguard is grade 3 or greater and they have no rear-guards, you can Stand your vanguard and reduce its Critical and drive to 1! Andrea retires itself from the field in exchange for clearing out an enemy ally, while Jodi recycles a grade 2 or less normal unit other than a sentinel in your drop on the top or bottom of your deck; you can then call that card to the field by using Eugene’s ability!

Drajeweled players, you can finally get your hands on the terrifying “Demonic Jewel Dragon, Drajeweled”! Aside from its signature ability to reduce your opponent’s vanguard Power to 1 and potentially gain a Critical, this upgraded version Soul-Charges 3, and draws a card if the cards Soul-Charged have different grades! You can use this with the trial deck variant “Jewel-embracing Dragon Fang, Drajeweled” to potentially have 8 Persona Ride targets in your deck!

Most of Drajeweled’s supporting cast activate their potent abilities when you Soul-Blast 4 or more cards for the cost of your vanguard’s ability. “Demonic Stone Dragon, Rockargour” is a cornerstone of the deck’s offense; when attacking, it gains Power if your soul has four or more cards with different grades and Stands again after using your vanguard’s ability! Tear your opponent’s defenses apart with double Rockargour columns!

When “Power Gem Dragon” boosts, you can put one of the top two cards of your deck into your hand and the other to soul! There’s also “Demonic Jewel Dragon, Rystal Galer” that put a card from hand to soul, draws a card and retires an enemy ally on attack! Lastly, “Demonic Stone Dragon, Matelvaara” returns a card in drop to soul and gains Power when it enters the field! These cards amass sufficient soul for Drajeweled’s devastating ability, while also making good use of the Power reduction!

Cards like “Lilac Lasher” and “Magnereversal Breaker” breathe new life into the Baromagnes deck! While Lilac Lasher only has 2000 base Power, it gains Power for each card in your soul when attacking; it’s especially great in the endgames where you’ve amassed a lot of soul! On the other hand, Magnereversal Breaker Soul-Charges 3, and confers your Baromagnes vanguard the ability to buff all front row units for the turn! This allows units called by Baromagnes’ ability to enjoy these Power gains as well!

There’s also amazing generic cards that have great utility in your Dark States deck! “Heat Haze Acrobat, Miroslava” can either add a card with the same name as your vanguard from soul to hand, or call a different named card from soul to the field! Should you add a card to hand, Miroslava also gains Power! Use this card to ensure you get your Persona Ride copies or to fill the board! Let’s not forget about “Falcate Performer”; when it boosts, it puts a card in your drop that has a different grade from cards in your soul into your soul! Not only does it refill soul for Drajeweled’s ability, it also recycles key cards in drop back to soul to be used later!

If you want to build destructive fortresses, this new ride line is just for you! By operating Set Orders known as Products, you can level up your offense and decimate enemy lines! “Blitz CEO, Welstra” is the ‘big boss’ for this deck; when it attacks a vanguard, you can operate a Product in your order zone! Use this together with “Mobile Fortress of Obliteration, Freischütz Maximum” to achieve a potent multi-attack strategy! Welstra also gains Power whenever you operate a Product, allowing it to be a threatening vanguard!

Other important cards in the ride line include “Blitz Programmer, Strazer” and “Blitz Technology Researcher, Uber”! Both Strazer and Uber are able to put a Product with the same grade as them from the deck or hand into the Order Zone, and draw a card if the Product was put from hand! Uber has the added benefit of being able to operate a Product during the main phase, so you can activate either “Incandescent Flame Cannon, Abhasal” or “Heavy Strike Cannon Fortress, Freischütz”!

Now, feast your eyes upon the Product set orders! When operated, “Incandescent Flame Cannon, Abhasal” retires an enemy front row rear-guard; if you failed to retire, you draw a card and discard a card from hand! Use this early to keep your opponent’s aggression in check or cycle through your deck for more key pieces.

Next, operate “Heavy Strike Cannon Fortress, Freischütz” to either retire an enemy front-row rear-guard or reduce your opponent’s vanguard Power! Furthermore, when your grade 3 or greater vanguard is placed by riding on a grade 3 (i.e. when you Persona Ride), you can move Freischütz from the order zone to your drop to put a Freischütz Maximum from your deck or hand into the order zone; you draw a card if you put it from hand!

Lastly, operate “Mobile Fortress of Obliteration, Freischütz Maximum” to retire an enemy rear-guard, reduce your opponent’s vanguard Power and call this to the field as a colossal attacker! Use this with Welstra to enable multi-attack for your deck!

Let’s take a look at the key personnel behind the scenes, working their hardest for Blitz Industries! “Blitz Secretary, Perfe” recycles grade 2 or greater set orders back to deck to draw a card, while both “Blitz Engineer, Hoflio” and “Blitz Mechanic, Iskra” operate a Product if you did not operate a Product this turn; Hoflio also gains Power if a Product was operated this turn!

There’s also “Blitz Mechanic, Schtart” that removes Freischütz from the order zone and itself from the field to put Freischütz Maximum from hand into the order zone, so you can set up for a devastating multi-attack! For resource management, “Blitz Accounting Department Head, Sordio” provides much needed Counter-Charge in the deck. Lastly, “Blitz Top Sales, Anrig” retires itself from the field to put Freischütz or Freischütz Maximum from your deck or drop into hand!
