Fighters Rule
(As of 31st July 2012)
On 31st July 2014, it was announced for the English version of Cardfight!! Vanguard that the following restriction on cards will take place.
As of 20th August 2014, the following cards CANNOT be used as a first vanguard (FV), but can however be used normally otherwise (It can still be placed in the Deck).
- Lizard Soldier, Conroe
Note: Starting from August 20, 2014, “Lizard Soldier, Conroe” (BT01/016EN and EB09/016EN) cannot be used as a first Vanguard in all Bushiroad official and Bushiroad sanctioned English version tournaments. Up to four “Lizard Soldier, Conroe” can still be included in a deck as long as it is not used as a first Vanguard (FV).
Note: Starting from August 1, 2012, “Barcgal” (BT01/003EN and BT01/S03EN) cannot be used as a first Vanguard in all Bushiroad official and Bushiroad sanctioned English version tournaments. Up to four “Barcgal” can still be included in a deck as long as it is not used as a first Vanguard (FV).
Note by Bushiroad:
Reason for Adjustment in the English Version:-
'The reason for the restriction was because Royal Paladin decks using “Barcgal” as the first Vanguard was too powerful. With the release of booster pack “Demonic Lord Invasion” in August, the Royal Paladin decks’ power would be reinforced. We felt that with one clan being too powerful, it would prevent fighters from wanting to play with the other clans, thus taking away the fun from tournament play. Therefore, with the release of the upcoming “Demonic Lord Invasion”, we have decided to take preemptive action.
The restriction was made based on the observations from the recent “Cardfight!! Vanguard Team League 2014”. We have identified that “Lizard Soldier, Conroe” to be widely used among Kagero players during the tournament and recognized the influences that it may cause to the tournament environment in the future. Therefore, the above mentioned restriction will be implemented.
We wish to maintain a healthy tournament environment, and we thank you for your kind understanding on this matter.'
