Cardfight Budgetguard 11: Ethics Buster Reverse

Hey Cardfighters,

This week I'm bringing you the infinite hell of Ethics Buster Reverse combined with LBE.

Obviously our boss unit is the big bad Deadliest Ethics Buster "Reverse" who is a crossride for Ethics Buster, and has a Limit Break 4 ability which is. "Counter Blast 2, Discard 2 Beast Deity cards, Lock 2 Nova Grappler Units: After the battle that this unit attacks you may Stand it. This ability cannot be used for the rest of the turn." This allows you to restand your vanguard at a decent cost but when combined with the limit break enabler you only really need 2 damage to start restanding. This is the bread and butter of the deck Cost: 1.50

For the second boss I wanted to use Beast Deity Azure Dragon, his ability can work before limit break or generation break and it is. If you attack hits the vanguard you an discard a copy of Azure dragon and choose two of your units and stand them. By doing this you can add extra pressure to your vanguard attacks during the mid game. Cost 1.25

So Far: 11

For Grade 2s The Rs are Street Bouncer (0.20)  and Hatred Chaos  (0.70)

For Grade 1s we must consider the Perfect guards (4) 

This deck doesn't need strides but we will use 4x Meteorkaiser Vic-ten  (0.50) as a back up.

Deck Comments:
     Miraoh Serves a lot of purposes, Either to grab stride fodder for next turn, copies of Azure Dragon to provide pressure, to get another beast deity in your hand and most importantly to ensure you ride Ethics Buster "R". We don't use all Beast Deity Triggers because Red lightning can unflip damage which is the main limiter for using "Reverse's" skill over and over. Clay doll and Dumpty help with that as well and Street bouncer and energy charger are meant to keep you hand up so that you can have enough beast deities.

Match ups: (opp dmg - my dmg)

• Vs. Revengers (Lumicus)
• I got to go first which ended up working out well for me.  I move miraioh into a side column to set up a combo with street bouncer. Next turn I call street bouncer in front resting them both to draw and then using miraioh to search for a grade 3 and hit Reverse. I call clay doll to unflip and attack. We trade some blows and I ride Reverse at grade 3. Calling Frogmaster and using the LB4 skill while my opponent is still at grade 2. I only hit a draw trigger but he uses up a perfect guard and takes two damage. 3-2.  He rides into Mordred phantom to prepare for break ride turn and strides. I block the stride to prevent judgebau from going off, he gets a crit and I decide to guard and intercept with my street bouncer to not take 2 damage. I unflip one damage with hungry dumpty and lb4 again managing only to hit one crit. I take out his rear guard and he drops a perfect on my column with a crit. He doens't stride or break ride but I choose to prevent judgebau from going off with a perfect and he hits a crit which I decide to take to fuel Counter blasts for my next turn and i hit a heal yay! 3-3. I lb4 again on my turn. he 1 passes and I get a draw. he 1 passes again and I get a heal. I get one more attack in and he gets the 6th damage heal. :/ 6-3. He manages to top deck Abyss and goes into break ride turn. I guard but I have to let Judgebau hit this time he gets a crit but I manage to get 2 damage checked triggers to boost up my defense. He miscalculates some things which ends up with me over guarding his next vanguard attack (probably what lost me the game) I'm able to gain a little hand with street bouncer and lb4 again. He 1 passes and no luck. no passes the next one and then perfect guards my rearguard. I got no triggers and 2 grade 3s so I basically can't guard at all since he survived. I'm forced to try to heal with one left in deck and he gets another crit for game.
•  VS. Gears (beats)
• My opp. goes first. I get a pretty good hand to set up the street bouncer combo again and I already have frog masters. Unfortunately I miss miraioh but I play a booster for my vanguard and attack. 2-1. On my turn I ride reverse and go right into lb4 using frog master and calling a full field. He 2 to passes my first attack with 2 draws. I get 2 heals both going to vanguard since I will restand. apparently he has not much to guard with and I end up hitting him to 5. 5-1. He strides into chronos command which can wipe my whole field. I guard it so I don't fall too far behind. and he goes after my rear to keep me at 1 so I cant lb4. A weak turn follows but I manage to hit a crit to push out more guard. 5-1. He strides chronos command AGAIN I guard it again to not lose 3 units to its effect. and take 1 damage from the rearguard. 5-2 I'm barely able to lb4 but it works out. He 2 passes, no triggers, then 2 passes, no triggers. and finally perfects my rearguard column. On his turn he strides lost age dragon and rewinds most of my field after hitting. I take damage to get to lb4 (I have no enablers left). and use it once again. 2 to pass, no triggers, 2 pass first draw all to van. second nothing. and he easily guard my last attack. 5-4. He strides into Ragnaclock, luckily the draw got me a perfect guard. He gets super offenive but pulls no triggers. I mess up here. I take one damage and then guard with my draw trigger. but this prevents me from playing an attacker when I lb4 next turn to put triggers on/ apply pressure since I only had 2 other beast deities. I lb4 anyway but with only my vanguard attacking he 2 passes I get a trigger then 1 passes and no triggers. 5-5. He attacks with chronojet forcing me into only grade 0s which I guard 1 pass but he get a draw and heal for game. 

Overall Performance:
     This deck was amazing to say the least. The pressure of a constantly restanding vanguard is huge. and it has a good balance of beast deities so there isn't usually problems with that except when I messed up that last game. Both games were extremely close and came down to a few trigger checks. I'm really happy with the deck and will probably be my go to for fun deck for a while.
 
Tips for Mastering:

• Know what to discard for "Reverse"
• Knowing what to lock to maximize your attacking power. 
• I want to confirm this with bushiroad but I believe that you can use "Reverse" active twice in one turn to restand 3 times. It would cost 4 cb and 4 cards from hand but it might be a good choice in some scenarios.

Tips for adding money: 
     There is really only one thing you can do for this deck and that's add the Ethics buster breakride. Not only will it give you a monstrous breakride turn but it also acts as a crossride. You can also go for the Vic-plasma strides which have a similar ability to Reverse but work on a much higher power level. This is more important for games when you can't draw Frog Master and helps the deck be consistent.
