Regarding the March 2025 Deck Construction Rules Update
This update to the Cardfight!! Vanguard Fighter’s Rules makes use of the results of various Bushiroad Championship Series 24/25 (BCS 24/25) Regional Qualifier tournaments.
Standard Format
Since the release of “Omniscient Awakening” and its availability for use in BCS 24/25 Regional Qualifier tournaments, we have observed that the following 2 ridelines had high usage rates.
・Fated One of Miracles, Rezael (along with Fated King of Miracles, Rezael Vita)
・Destined King of Infinity, Levidras Empireo (along with Destined One of Infinity, Levidras)
We have also observed that among the ridelines that saw substantial amounts of use, we observed that 1 had a comparatively higher win rate.
・Quaking Ripple Monster, Eledglema
With that in mind, our considerations for the above ridelines is as follows.
Fated One of Miracles, Rezael (along with Fated King of Miracles, Rezael Vita)
While it was the most-used rideline during this period, it did not have a particularly high win rate. Thus, we will not be implementing card restrictions at this point, but we will continue to monitor its performance alongside upcoming releases.
Destined King of Infinity, Levidras Empireo (along with Destined One of Infinity, Levidras)
It was the 2nd most-used rideline during this period, and also had a considerable win rate. However, and in consideration of upcoming releases, we will not be implementing card restrictions at this point, but we will continue to monitor its performance.
Quaking Ripple Monster, Eledglema
While it has seen substantial usage during this period, its usage rate is still relatively low overall. Thus, we will not be implementing card restrictions at this point, but we will continue to monitor its performance.
V Premium Format
As there have been no major tournaments for V Premium format since the last update, there are no updates this time.
Premium Format
Since the previous update to the Fighter’s Rules, we have observed that certain clans continue to have comparatively greater success in BCS 24/25 Regional Qualifier tournaments.
As such, we will be implementing the following changes to the Fighter’s Rules.
