Nexus At Night Podcast

Fishing season is back once again, and that means it's time for Root Beer to do all the work! With Bermuda Triangle getting support within a six month period, rather than having to wait a year, that means Bushiroad won't feel the need to introduce needlessly broken stuff to tide them over for a year?...

Three imaginary gifts, twenty-four clans. I bet you're asking, "Which one is the best of each gift?" and even if you're not, that's what we're doing. As are many new players on reddit and Twitter asking the community, "Guys, I'm new to Vanguard, what's the best of each gift and what's the best gift?" So we decided to thought-experiment it out.We're not looking at just competitive viability here (though that is part of it) what clans feel the most... giftiest? Our trio can't vote for their own submission, and we're hoping that doesn't lead to a hung podcast, but we will see. Plus, it's up to you! Do you think we were right? Wrong? Way wrong?

Happy almost-Thanksgiving you Americans out there! A time not just for saying what we're thankful for to families we mildly disdain and endure questions on why you're single again this year, but also a time for our 3 hosts to talk about the newest Vanguard set!With Gold Paladin, Neo Nectar, and Atlas' favorite in Great Nature, is this mysterious fortune more fortune, or does the fact that it might suck not all that mysterious?Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas on Twitter or Instagram @atlasnovack, Matt on Twitter @wiggumzz, or Alvin/Root Beer on Twitter @plasmaeclipse.

Protect, Accel, Force. We've spent the last 3 weeks covering the 3 imaginary gifts of vanguard, and how the meta has swayed back and forth along those lines. We've finally reached the end. Our quadrio (if that's not a word I'm gonna pretend it's one) takes all they've discussed, and presents it not just to each other, but to you: how do we fix this wonky meta?As well, this lead-up is one giant plug for Atlas' new project: a podcast called Bad Reading. Going live November 22, it's a show where a guest is brought in who is a fan of a book, movie, TV show, video game, etc. and is read the worst fanfiction that Atlas and his co-host Nick Cain can find. We will continue to be doing Nexus at Night every week, dropping at the usual day. Starting the 22, Bad Reading will be dropping at all the usual places, Youtube included, every Friday. We will also be having Matt, Root Beer, and other N@N pantheoners as guests in the future, so stay tuned for that. Thanks for listening!Liste

"Electric Boogaloo", you're about to get overused in the best way.Our second episode in the MMMDD, we are covering Accel, the current imaginary gift type that's topping tournaments the world over. From the bottom of the totem pole to the king daddy of gifts, Accel decks are doing great not just because Accel II lets you draw cards, but even the support itself has been solid for those clans. But how solid? And how will it be dealt with in Standard format as time marches on?Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas on Twitter or Instagram @atlasnovack, Matt on Twitter @wiggumzz, or Alvin/Root Beer on Twitter @plasmaeclipse.

Specialists: for a game that many consider niche, that has 24 clans- niches within a niche, if you will- Vanguard doesn't have a lot of experts. For the major personalities out there, your Differentfights, your SolemnVanguards, there are few who specialize in specifically one clan. A major exception to that trend is Living Proof, a previous guest of this podcast and friend of Nexus Corps (not to mention ARG champion), who has so graciously allowed us to ask him why the hell there aren't others out there who have taken up the clan specialty torch.Follow Living Proof @LivingProofVG on Twitter!Check out his Youtube channel!Come hang out in his Discord Server!Or check out his Twitch (or all of em!)Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas @atlasnovack on Twitter or Instagram, Matt @wiggumzz on Twitter or @wiggumzzz on Twitch, or Alvin/Root Beer @plasmaeclipse on Twitter.

It's time for another review! Except this time it's not a set review: with Bushiroad releasing a new Vanguard game for the Switch and the PS4, Matt took the liberty of playing the game extensively, and now he's got something to say about it. Is Vanguard EX the savior of Cardfight Online's fallen legacy, or is it just another half-baked project by Bushiroad?Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas @atlasnovack on Twitter or Instagram, Matt @wiggumzz on Twitter or @wiggumzzz on Twitch, or Alvin/Root Beer @plasmaeclipse on Twitter.

Legion era, a time in Vanguard's history around 2014 where games were longer because you were constantly recycling cards. And yet, Italy is currently there. With them only receiving their own translation of Vanguard cards back in 2016, it means that they're currently in legion era while the rest of the west is in V. We're effectively watching a country re-develop the meta all over again, and they're doing some things... differently than the world saw them last time. Because this podcast started during G, the guys also talk a little bit about legion and how it affected the game we love so much. And history memes, lots of history memes.Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas @atlasnovack, Matt @wiggumzz, or Alvin/Root Beer @plasmaeclipse.

Dinos, Football, and Bug Criminals are back! With Tachikaze, Spike, Brothers, and Megacolony finally getting their second round of support, the guys unpack the new cards. As well, they have a little help from their friend from college, Hao, who is so obsessed with Megacolony that he had a write-up for each of the cards we were covering. So get ready for some unchecked admiration mixed in with SNARK. Despite that, are these clans ready for primetime or are they going to be stuck playing community theater for another year?Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas @atlasnovack, Matt @wiggumzz, or Alvin/Root Beer @plasmaeclipse.

With the reintroduction of the Silver Thorns into standard format, it got the N@N team thinking about xenophobia- a word that usually means fear of foreigners- but in card design it means effects that only work with a certain archetype or subclan (aforementioned thorns come to mind.) So we brought back James, last heard on our Phantom Steed Restoration episode, to talk about it. Is it a good thing that Bushiroad subdivides these clans into smaller units, or is it bad for the game on the whole?

Well, can't disappoint the fans now can we?!Join our trio of twits as they talk about pretty much everything, from movies to relationships to Final Fantasy XIV, anything except Vanguard really.

Wait, weren't we just here like three weeks ago? There was a dude on a horse... Nope, you're not seeing things. There's yet another set review! This time with the AL4 clans- Shadow Paladin, Dark Irregulars, Pale Moon, and Murakumo. After the medium minus effort of Vilest Deletor, the guys have brought in their good friend James to talk Pale Moon, meanwhile Matt fights off sleep deprivation.Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas @atlasnovack, Matt @wiggumzz, or Alvin/Root Beer @plasmaeclipse.

As we settle into a premium format meta after the release of premium collection a month or more ago, depending where you live, a question arises: what makes a meta good? Diversity? Feel? Thanks to a pie chart released by Bushiroad, we have a relatively accurate view of what is topping in Japan. But is it enough for Atlas' salty ass after getting stomped at this last weekend's shop challenge?

Bushiroad has revealed their release schedule for the next six months in Japan, up through January 2020 (about February or March 2020 for us westerners.) Prompting our trio to ask things like, "what's gonna happen?", "What sort of support are these clans getting?", and "Oh my god is that Bermuda Triangle within six months of their last support?!" As well, Genesis will be getting a trial deck, and a new mechanic: the astral plane.

The Miyaji Academy fighters are back! With support for Royal Paladin (again), Gold Paladin, Narukami, Nubatama, and Oracle Think Tank, the metagame is gonna get turned on its head! Or is it?

Last weekend was Anime Expo 2019. Root Beer went all the way out there for it, and got to try out the Vanguard Zero tech demo. Zero is Bushiroad's mobile version of the tcg we all love so much and it was... medium minus to say the least.

Remember high school debates? Well get ready for some traumatic flashbacks! After seeing the community duke it out through arguments, namecalling, and memes, the guys have decided to settle it once and for all. Which is the better format, standard or premium?

"How come Vanguard doesn't have a side deck?" thousands of people have asked since the game began, and we have a good answer for you: the side deck may not be something like Yu-Gi-Oh's more Magic: the Gathering's model at all. Maybe the side deck was right there in front of your eyes the whole time, and it just needs to take off its glasses and go through a 1980's makeover montage before the big dance. Maybe the side deck... is the G Zone.Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorpsFollow Atlas @atlasnovack, Matt @wiggumzz, or Alvin/Root Beer @plasmaeclipse.
