164: Multi-Hour Meta Discussion of Doom 4- What it All Means!
November 20, 2019 20:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBProtect, 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 wh...
163: Multi-Hour Meta Discussion of Doom 3- Force!
November 13, 2019 11:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MBThe trifecta shall be completed with this week! After Bushiroad's favorite child, the force gift, has been meta for a little bit before falling into relative obscurity, the guys have a look at it. Does Force need another push? How does it factor in to the Protect v. Accel animosity? Why are there 10 of them vs 8 accel and 6 protect? Find out in our penultimate episode of this 4-parter!

162: Multi-Hour Meta Discussion of Doom 2- Accel!
November 06, 2019 11:00 - 47 minutes - 43.2 MB"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 Tw...
161: Multi-Hour Meta Discussion of Doom 1- Protect!
October 30, 2019 10:00 - 45 minutes - 31 MBWelcome to Nexus at Night's largest undertaking since that time we asked Differentfight if we could borrow his car: the multi-hour meta discussion of doom! A year and some change ago, we talked about the protect and accel gifts, and how those clans were doing great and weren't doing so hot, respectively (episodes 94 and 95 if you're interested.) Well here we are, every clan has gotten two waves of support unless their names are Gear Chronicle and Bermuda Triangle, we have an entirely new se...
160: A Brief History of Guard Restrict
October 24, 2019 10:00 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MBGuard restrict: everyone's been on the giving or receiving end of it. You have 3 perfect guards in hand, but your opponent is preventing you from guarding with Grade 0's, so you just #guessilldie and take that 6th damage. It's a skill that closes out games and makes people salty. It's loved and hated the world over. So how did it come to be? From the original Silent Tom to Battledore Fighter, we have a little history lesson for everyone, as well as a discussion on what it means for the gam...
159: Infinideity Cradle Set Review
October 17, 2019 02:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBWe're pretty sure "infinideity" isn't a word. We said "infidelity" for way too long. And speaking of too long, Genesis, Angel Feather, Nubatama, and Nova Grappler all got some new toys to play with! Unfortunately, the United Sanctuary really didn't get a lot of stuff to carry it through the meta. Nubs and Novas on the other hand...

158: Interviewing a Specialist (Feat. Living Proof)
October 09, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBSpecialists: 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 othe...
157: Matt Plays Vanguard EX!
October 02, 2019 14:00 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MBIt'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?

156: Front Trigger ACTUAL F*ckery
September 25, 2019 20:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MBOver a year ago, we did an episode talking about front triggers (episode 97 if you're interested), and how they weren't going to affect the game much. Well here we are a year later, and our opinions have changed. So join our trio of twats as they talk about how a new revealed Nova Grappler grade 3 really made them change their view. Also they go completely off the rails and start talkin' about movies and stuff, so have fun with that. Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or suppo...
155: Italy's 5 Years Behind- a Legion Era Retrospective
September 19, 2019 14:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBLegion 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 st...
154: Premium Profile- Great Nature (Feat. Alex Kramer)!
September 11, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBBCS Chicago, 2019. A young man manages to get to top 8 with Great Nature. Yes, in a landscape full of turn 2 striding with Gold Paladin, Neo Nectar's insane ability to vomit out plant tokens for multi-attacks, and Bermuda Triangle doing all the things, this man defied the odds to make it there. Please welcome Alex Kramer, aka Nem, who has come on to talk shop about Great Nature in premium format! Watch Atlas barely contain himself as they talk shop about the history, competitive viability, ...
153: The Raging Tactics Set Review!
September 05, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 57.6 MBDinos, 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 com...
152: Xenophobia, Think Less But See it Grow
August 28, 2019 14:00 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBWith 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 wh...
151: Banlist Banter- August 2019
August 24, 2019 22:00 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MBIt's banlist time once again! And Bushiroad actually hit some stuff for once! Join Matt, Atlas, and Root Beer (MARB for short I guess?) as they take a look at what Bushiroad finally had the stones to restrict for play in both standard and premium format, and what this means for the competitive metagame.

150: One Hundred Fifty Episodes For This?
August 14, 2019 14:00 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBYes, Nexus at Night has made it to 150 episodes! And thanks to a Twitter poll we put up, the fans have voted for this momentous occasion to be celebrated with "something stupid". 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. And even then we can't even stay off-topic. Thanks for sticking by us for this long! Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @...
149: Phantasmal Steed Restoration Set Review
August 08, 2019 17:00 - 1 hour - 79.4 MBWait, 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.

148: A Healthy Meta?
July 31, 2019 14:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBAs 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? Come find out, and feel free to reply yourselves! Bushiroad's Meta Pie Chart: https://imgur.com/a/...
147: Phil Collins Can Finally Rest Easy
July 24, 2019 14:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MBBushiroad 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. So come join us as we speculate wildly about the next few mo...
146: Aerial Steed Liberation Set Review!
July 18, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBThe 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? Honestly the metagame gets turned on its head so many times it made Atlas nauseous.

145: Root Beer Goes to Anime Expo!
July 11, 2019 06:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBLast 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. Join the guys' conversation about it, anime expo on the whole, and watch Atlas learn a lesson in transgender rights!

144: Settling the Standard v. Premium Debate!
June 26, 2019 19:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBRemember 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? With Matt taking standard, Atlas repping premium, and Root Beer between them, who will come out on top?

June 19, 2019 17:00 - 52 minutes - 47.6 MBIn the navy, yes you can sail the seven seas, in the navy, yes you can attack 26 times a turn- that's how the song goes right? Welcome to Aqua Force's premium profile! This time, we've brought on up-and-coming Aqua Force youtuber Wave Nation, an expert on the clan, to talk about this multi-attacking, re-standing, position swapping navy. What's their history?

142: My Glorious Justice Set Review!
June 12, 2019 18:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MBIt's been almost a year since Aqua Force, Dimension Police, and Granblue got their first wave (get it?) of support, which was our 100th episode. And here we are, about a year later, and all three clans have either deteriorated from power creep of other clans or were terrible to begin with. So can the second wave of support help the Asia Circuit clans get their shit together? Find out with us while we try and complete a hat trick of memes! Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or ...
141: The Future of the G Zone
May 29, 2019 18:00 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MB"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, ...
140: As Disappointing as Game of Thrones
May 24, 2019 00:00 - 51 minutes - 46.7 MBWhat a disappointing week it's been. Game of Thrones finishes off in an unsatisfying way, Bushiroad promises a banlist and gives us... nothing. It gives us nothing. So we're gonna complain about it! Join your favorite cardfighting cretins as they go through not only this so-called "watch" list, but also talk about how the reboot has been negatively affecting new players' wallets a year in.

139: The Heroic Evolution Set Review!
May 15, 2019 13:00 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MBLess nova, more grappler. Less deleting, more locking. Less Kagero, no wait, it's the same amount of Kagero. Welcome to V Extra Booster 7! With support for Kagero, Link Joker, and Nova Grappler, this new set also brings the official release of Gift II's (which we covered in a previous episode.) The guys take a look at what this could mean for the metagame, and whether Link Joker's return of locking is going to be worth it now that it doesn't lock the opponent's stuff. Follow us on Twitter o...
138: Premium Collection 1 Set Review!
May 08, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 30.9 MBPremium finally gets its due!

May 01, 2019 19:00 - 39 minutes - 18.2 MBYou had your g-zones destroyed by zeroth dragons... well now, their "good" counterparts are here! With premium collection on the horizon, strides that represents whole nations, rather than singular clans, are back. This time, the progenitor dragons- cards that allow you to stride for free for the rest of the game after you use them. How good are they going to be compared to their zeroth counterparts? That's where you listen and find out! Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or...
136: A Gift II You
April 24, 2019 14:00 - 56 minutes - 25.9 MBSo you know those imaginary gift things that we've talked about extensively since the reboot happened? Well guess what- there's two of them now. That's right, every imaginary gift: force, accel, and protect, all have second counterparts. Each of them are different variations on the gift system, and introduce an element of strategy (starting with the upcoming EB07 in May for Japan) to a basic game mechanic that is certainly a sight to behold. Join us as we speculate on what it could mean fo...
135: Light of Salvation, Logic of Destruction Set Review
April 17, 2019 14:00 - 48 minutes - 44.2 MBIt's set review time once again! And this time, we have the dumbest name for a set we've ever seen: Light of Salvation, Logic of Destruction. Pick one, Bushiroad, jeez! Anyway, with support for Royal Paladin, Kagero, Nova Grappler, and Link Joker, are the cards in the set as big a failure as the name is? Come find out!

April 11, 2019 07:00 - 38 minutes - 17.7 MBAs more Link Joker stuff gets revealed, the starhulks, a new archetype that focuses on reversing trigger effects, have come to town. What does this mean for standard format? Will they be any good? And what is the deal with link joker in general?

133: Primary Melody Set Review
March 27, 2019 07:00 - 53 minutes - 24.5 MBOh dear god, they've finally arrived. Bermuda Triangle is coming to Standard format. With a trial deck and an extra booster (both of which we'll be covering), Root Beer has taken over Nexus at Night to explain the new set of mermaids. Are they all they're cracked up to be, or will they just be Paladins.fish?

132: New Card Design Defies Reason
March 20, 2019 07:00 - 41 minutes - 19 MBIn yet another episode of card design talk, our merry trio of hosts is talking two cards that were revealed recently: Heart Monopoly, Anezka, and the new version of Majesty Lord Blaster. Both cards have effects that don't seem to be like anything Bushiroad has done before in their card design, and they're there to figure out what this could mean for the game. Also Atlas will probably freak out and the other two will give him grief for it. You won't wanna miss it! Follow us on Twitter or Ins...
131: A Bigger Piece of the Pie
March 13, 2019 07:00 - 43 minutes - 19.9 MBThe meta is a confusing thing for a lot of people. How do you decide what's good? Where are people getting their numbers from when they say a deck or a clan is meta? Well, we talk to one person who actually has a concrete answer. Join your favorite trio of idiots as they talk to a man known as Dexander, who creates pie charts of what is winning in the Japanese standard metagame on a monthly basis (or rather, every time a new set comes out and the meta changes.) What goes into these charts, a...
130: Possible Premium Promises!
March 06, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBIt's time for more premium format talk! With this upcoming premium collection in June, the guys talk about what each clan in Vanguard needs, and what a second set of zeroth dragons could do in order to properly capture the flavor of all the clans in a single nation.

129: Best 2 (Decks) out of 3?
February 20, 2019 08:00 - 44 minutes - 41 MBHave you ever lost with a deck, look at your opponent and think, "man, if I just played against him with something else I would've beaten him" Well do we have the format for you! First tested at this year's worlds and brought to our attention by Differentfight, the 2 deck format would be a new way of conducting tournaments, using two decks in a best-of-three match. The guys unpack what this might mean for the game on the whole if implemented on a large scale, and its merits. Follow us on ...
128: Bushiroad's 2019 Plans!
February 13, 2019 08:00 - 56 minutes - 25.9 MBUnlike this podcast, Bushiroad, the company that created our lovely Cardfight Vanguard, has released their plans for most of the rest of 2019! What does this mean for our hosts? Well, it means Matt gets to bring up Shirayuki for the 1000th time, but it also means that they get to speculate on what this means for the meta, and what this says about Bushiroad's R&D department. Come on in and watch us bitch! Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.co...
Episode 127: A Triggering Experiement
February 06, 2019 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.2 MBGuess what, Gabe's back! That's right, previous host of this very podcast and sarcastic wit of Nexus Corps has returned. But it's not to berate our trio, it's to conduct a thought experiment. What would happen if Vanguard decks only required half the amount of triggers, or triggers were of different grades? Come listen and participate in the discussion! Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight, or support us on Patreon! patreon.com/nexuscorps Follow Atlas @atlasnovack, Matt @wiggumzz...

Oh wait, it's Vilest Deletor, which has support for all the clans from Strongest Team AL4 plus Link Joker. This being a mostly second wave support set for the clans within, the guys have some interesting opinions on how Bushiroad is handling the problem of power creep that plagued them so much in the past.

Episode 125: 2019 Championships and Their Banlist
January 23, 2019 08:00 - 50 minutes - 46 MBThe best of the best gathered in Japan to duke it out in what was streamed around the world as the world championship tournament. Commentated by Youtubers Differentfight and Cardprotgonist, this tournament was to answer a crucial question: what's meta now? Well, the answer may surprise you, as our trio commentates on the top 4 for both standard and premium formats, and what happened with the ensuing banlist that was released a few days later. Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @NexusatNight...
Episode 124: The Problem With Promos
January 16, 2019 08:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBAh promos. Special cards made to promote a box opening, tournament, sneak preview, manga volume, and anything in between. And yet, they're the bane of some peoples' existence. Why? Well sometimes they're important enough to carry a deck on their own and are thus annoyingly expensive. And most of the time, there's no way to really track when they'll come from Japan to the west, if at all. Join our hosts as they argue over the nature of promos, wonder why Atlas can't finish a sentence, and t...
Episode 123: Counterblast - The OTHER Limited Resource
January 09, 2019 08:00 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MBIt was bound to happen wasn't it? Just as we talked about soul being a limited resource back in episode 102, we've circled back to talk about counterblast, and how Bushiroad seems to want to make it another limited resource in standard format. Is this good for the game? Do we wish it was more like G era where counterblast was an almost laughable thing to worry about? Listen and find out!

Episode 122: New Years Grab Bag 3!
January 02, 2019 15:00 - 51 minutes - 46.9 MB"It's a show about nothing!... How do you we know when it's over?" Truer words have never been spoken. Happy New Year everyone! Continuing our New Year tradition here at Nexus at Night, we're talking about... nothing. Nothing at all. Sure there's stuff in there about card reveals, but there's also new year's plans, arguments about video games, and ideas for Seinfeld episodes.

Episode 121: Going Second Sucks (Feat. Living Proof)
December 25, 2018 08:00 - 58 minutes - 53.6 MBMerry Critmas and a sacky new year to everyone! What's a better way to celebrate the holiday season than with a special guest and some good old fashion complaining? It's no secret that Vanguard has had a problem with turn order. There's an objective advantage with going first in this post reboot format. So what's a cardfighter to do? Well, ARG champion and fellow Vanguard youtuber Living Proof has brought some ideas that may fix the raw deal that is losing that dice roll. Grab your (spiked...

December 20, 2018 03:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBWe'll be there when the cards fall short, that's the beauty of second wave support, hold on baby we're takin' you back to schooooooool! That's right, the Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club set is finally upon us. Which means Nubatama and Narukami finally get their first wave support in standard format. It also means that Royal Paladin, Gold Paladin, and Oracle Think Tank all get their official second wave support. What does this mean? Well, friend of the pod James returns with his opinions on Nu...

December 12, 2018 15:00 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBVampires and succubi and OTKs, oh my! Dark Irregulars are a force to be reckoned with in premium format, and the guys brought a very special guest to talk about it!
