Cardfight!! Vanguard - Deck Discussion: Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel

Strategy:
Frontal Strategy: Get Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel out as fast as you can. With this strategy, you can fight your opponent with a set-up power lane with a Twin Drive Check, while your opponent still fights with a Grade 1 or Grade 2 Vanguard for the time being.

Secondary Strategy: Limit Break(4), Counterblast (2) Once, you reach 4 damage (or 5 if you get hit by a Critical Trigger), you can go to break your opponent with a strategy listed below:

• Immediately when you reach 4 damage, you can use Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel to call the top card of your Deck to a Rear Guard Zone. Then, use that power to strike your opponent quickly and cleanly.
• Next turn, if your opponent survives the assault, you can ride into Spectral Duke Dragon and use that Limit Break when you attack the Vanguard, of which you can do 4 attacks.
• If he still survives, if you have enough resources, use Mage of Calamity, Tripp and Heal Triggers to have 2 more unflipped damage in the Damage Zone and use Spectral Duke Dragon's Counterblast to open up 4 attacks again.
