Vanguard: Interesting thing with Jewel Knight Sherry and Tracie

It's been a long time since I did an article, mainly because I do not have much to talk about.  I mean who gives a rat's ass about Paladins?

Anyways you know about the G1 10k and G2 12k attackers like these?

One of the common things about these types of cards are that in order to get the boost, the Vanguard needs to have the archetype name in.  In this case, Demolition and Spark Rain will not get the boost if the Vanguard is, say, Armor Break Dragon.

Shellie and Tracie are rather unique.  They ARE 10k and 12k beaters respectively, but their requirements are a little different.



  Essentially if you have 3 different RGs with "Jewel Knight" in their name, they will get the power boost.  Nowhere does it say that the Vanguard has to be a Jewel Knight too only the rear-guards.

Think about what it really implies.  This means almost an RP deck has access to 12k and 10k attackers, more importantly, Tracie since we will she can hit 11k Vanguards by herself now.

With this in mind, here will be a deck list I have thought up.

G0
1x Tiffany
12x crit
4x Heal

G1
4x Sherry
4x Iseult
4x  Prizme
3x Marron

G2
3x Blaster Blade
4x Tracie
4x Olwen (an 11k attacker)

G3
3x King of Knight, Alfred
4x Sanctuary Guard Dragon

Since this deck will only use CB for Blaster Blade and Alfred, we can actually use their skills once at 5 damage. 12 Crits are good since we'll be plussing for field presences.

Marron is good as our G1 ride to prevent early damage.  Since the only limit break is Sanctuary Guard Dragon then there should be no need to rush.

I have yet to test this deck out since it came to me practically spontaneously.  Still in theory this looks freaking good.

Of course this is not the first deck of its kind.  I have actually heard of people using a similar mindset with this one.  There maybe other ones that have utilized what I call, the "BeJeweled" engine.

...I really wish Jewel Knights have a Josephus clone tho.
