I think it would be a great idea to teach people how to guard smartly. After visiting some card shops, I realised people have problems guarding properly. What do I mean by that? It basically means they are guarding more than they should.
For example:
It is your opponent's turn and he is going to attack. He will pull 1 non-crit trigger and give it to a rear guard if you guard a 2 to pass. You will have to guard a 2 to pass in fear of a critical trigger.
Your opponent's field:
(RC): Percival (11k). (VC): Percival + Aglovale (Legion 20,000). (RC): Percival (11k)
(RC): Bruno (7k). (RC): Wolftimer (8k). (RC): Marron (7k)
Combined Lane Powers:
(RC): 18k (VC): 30k (RC): 18k
You have 4 damage and these cards in your hand:
Dragon Monk, Genjo x2
Embodiment of Spear, Tahr x1
Dragon Dancer, Monica x2
Your opponent attacks you with his Vanguard first.
You will guard a 2 to pass, because he might pull a critical trigger. So you guard 25k with 2 Genjos and 1 Monica.
He gets 1 draw trigger and passes the power to his RG Percival.
He attacks with the 18k Column.
The Question is:
Do you guard?
Yes you do. Rather than take 1 damage, not get a damage trigger and guard a 15k, you are better off guarding this attack.
If he attacks with his 23k column second, you should take the first damage. The very most you will guard is 10k if you do not pull a damage trigger.
This is an example of guarding smartly. As you can see it clearly minimises your total guard for that turn.
That is all for this post. Have a nice day.
