Cardfight!! Vanguard - Breakdown of Nova Grapplers - Part 3

Grade 2 Breakdown:
For Grade 2s, there's a generic 10000 Power beatstick without an effect. For Nova Grapplers, the generic 10000 Power beatstick would be King of Sword.

Now, there's also a S Special Interceptor that can grant 10000 Shield, once it intercepts. For Nova Grapplers, it would be NGM Prototype.

Typical S Special Interceptor has an effect listed below:

• Auto: When this Unit intercepts, and you have a «Insert Clan Name Here» Vanguard, during that battle, this Unit's Shield gains +5000.

For now, there's no category to put the remainder of the Grade 2s in, so I'll elaborate the cards, two at a time.

Beast Deity, Black Tortoise (left) is a 8000 Power Grade 2 Attacker with an effect shown below:

• Auto (V/R): When this Unit's Attack hits the Vanguard, if you have a <<Nova Grappler>> Vanguard, you look at up to the top 5 cards of your Deck, look for up to 1 "Beast Deity, Azure Dragon", show it to your opponent, add it to your hand, then place the remaining cards on the bottom of your Deck in any order that you like.

It is a nice way to search out Beast Deity, Azure Dragon, but at the same time, you can look into your Deck and stack from the bottom to the top of your Deck, so you can go trigger happy, late game.

Blaukruger (right) is a 9000 Power Grade 2 Attack and it is part of the Stern Blaukruger "Chain Ride" series with an effect shown below:

• Continuous (V): When you have (Blaupanzer) in your Soul, this Unit gains +1000 Power.
• Auto (V): When this Unit's attack hits a Vanguard, unflip 1 Damage.

If you ride Blaupanzer onto Blaujunger, you can get Blaukruger from your Deck and add it to your hand.

Boomerang Thrower (left) is a 9000 Power Grade 2 Attacker with an effect shown below:

• Auto: When you Ride this card atop a <<Nova Grappler>>, during that turn, this Unit gains "Continuous (Vanguard): This Unit can select an opponent's Unit in the opponent's Back Row to battle with."

This card wouldn't be really used except for a 9000 generic Power Attacker, which we already have King of Sword.

Brutal Jack (right) is a 11000 Power Grade 2 Attacker with an effect shown below:

• Continuous (V/R): Restraint (This Unit cannot attack)
• Activate (V/R): (Counter Blast (1)) During that turn this Unit loses its (Restraint) .
• Auto (V): When this Unit is boosted by a «Nova Grappler» for that battle, this Unit gains +5000.

With his Power, you can utilize him to get over a Grade 3 if need be, by itself; however the drawback is that you have to do a Counter Blast 1 to do it.

Cup Bowler (left) is another 9000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto:(V) : This unit gains +1000 Power for the turn for each «Nova Grappler» Rear Guard that goes into Rest Position.

This card wouldn't be really used except for a 9000 generic Power Attacker, which we already have King of Sword.

Death Army Lady (right) is another 9000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto (R): When a Grade 3 «Nova Grappler» is revealed by your Vanguard's Drive Check, Stand this Unit.

Another good way to rush your opponent is to put these cards along with Death Army Guy to set up a standing power lane if you drive check a Grade 3. If you combine this with Asura Kaiser, you can have up to 5 attacks per turn, easily.

Eisenkugel (left) is a 10000 Grade 2 Attacker, with an effect listed below:

• Continuous (V/R): When you don't have (Stern Blaukruger) or (Blaukruger) on the Vanguard Circle, this Unit loses -5000 Power.
• Auto (V/R): When this Unit attacks, during that battle, this Unit gains +2000 Power.

If you focus away from the Chain Ride Stern Blaukruger series, then don't use this card. Otherwise, you can give this card a try and see if it works for you.

High-Powered Raizer Custom (right) is a 8000 Grade 2 Attacker, with an effect listed below:

• Continuous (V/R): During your Turn, if your "Battle Raizer" is in the Same Column as this card, this unit gains +8000 Power.

Outside of using it along with Battle Raizer, it's a 8000 vanilla beatstick, of which in some cases, is not worthwhile. If you want to give it a try in a Raizer deck, go ahead. Otherwise, there's better cards to pick over this card.

Hungry Dumpty is a 9000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto : When this Unit is called as a Rear Guard, and you have a «Nova Grappler» Vanguard, unflip 1 card from the Damage Zone.

Great for Heavy Counterblast decks.

Kungfu Kid, Bolter is a 8000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): When this Unit attacks, and you have more Rearguards than your Opponent, during that battle, this Unit gains +3000 Power.

For this card, it'll depend on future releases and how consistent decks are with pulling a 9000 Grade 1 Booster, which can lead to a 20000 Power Lane.

Magician Girl, Kirara is a 9000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): (Counterblast (2)) When this Unit's attack hits, and you have a «Nova Grappler» Vanguard, you may pay the cost. If paid, draw 1 card.

For Counterblasting, if you want more cards drawn, you use this card. Otherwise, you'll pick something else.

Marvelous Hani is a 7000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): When this Unit's attack hits a Vanguard, if you have 4 or more other <<Nova Grappler>> Rearguards, draw 1 card.

This would be used instead of Magician Girl, Kirara, if the deck isn't focused in on Counterblasting.

Street Bouncer is a 8000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto: (Rest this card and select 1 of your <<Nova Grappler>> in the Same Column, except this Unit, and Rest it.) When this Unit appears in the Rearguard Circle, and you have a <<Nova Grappler>> Vanguard, you can pay the cost. if you do, draw 1 card.

With shutting off a Power Lane, you can draw a card, which is not that good in wasting your opponent's resources. There isn't much point for this card, since there's better choices instead of this card.

Super Electromagnetic Lifestorm, Storm is a 9000 Grade 2 Attacker with an effect listed below:

• Auto (V/R): When this Unit's attack hits a Vanguard, and you have a «Nova Grappler» Vanguard, unflip 1 card in your Damage Zone.

Great for Heavy Counterblasting decks.  It'll depend on preference of what you want: Hungry Dumpty or Super Electromagnetic Lifestorm, Storm.
