what a time to be alive

For September, we know the Gear Chronicle stuff is happening. December to February seems to be a secret though.



For October, Touken Ranbu is confirmed to a G Clan Booster and a Trial Deck!



In November, Shadow Paladin will be receiving an entirely new Trial Deck and GBT09 is confirmed at the same time! Released on the 11th at the same time, the Trial Deck is named "Dragon Heresy Ritual" and the Booster is "Sky/Heaven(?) Dancing Dragon Deity". GBT09 contains: Shadow Paladin, Narukami, Aqua Force, Angel Feather, Spike Brothers, and of course Gear Chronicle. Cray Elemental is a given.



The very real not fake kill me Idol Booster is confirmed for March in 2017. HAVE FUN WAITING AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA



Stride Gate will be ending in September (what a surprise given the Clan Booster didn't give that hint at all, right?) and the next season is entitled NEXT. It is the highschool arc of Vanguard G, and Chrono will be getting a new voice actor, on top of the new Shadow Paladin above being used by a new character. It starts in October.

this'll be a fun rest of the year

-I'm surprised by the lack of fighters collection winter announced and since they did not announced that I don't think it happen now but we will see.
-The shock of the stream is obvious Touken Ranbu re-support. No way anyone saw that coming and it's well needed support for Touken.
-The Idol Booster will be worth the wait. The support will just be stronger.
-The only clans I'm interested in set 9 is Shadows and Spikes and Shadows getting a trial deck to boot. Aqua force, Naru are fine they kinda need it but of course it's going to be scary to see what they get. I dunno how to feel about angels atm. As for gears main character clan that's only reason they are there.
-The next season atm sounds like I'm going to feel somewhat neutral about it.

Hidden December Product is the only thing left that can surprise us this year. January and February not as much and would be next year anyways. So lets hope for fighters winter. Overall though I'm not a fan of this product line up unless December turns out to be amazing till then I'm not going to enjoy the rest of the year except for maybe the anime for sure.

Set 9 looks like, for the most case, a typical money maker "We're feeling a bit short on cash atm" set.

Really? TR.. the clan that most people thought were synonymous with Etrangers is getting more support.. meanwhile OTT is left to rot in their grave? Yuck and no thank you. I really hope OTT gets a spot in a tech booster, at the very least, to make up for this horrible drought. Or gives them to another character, personally I would LOVE to see something similar in what they did to AF, giving the clan to a 'villain' that is then continuing to be attached to that braided dumbass.

Anyone wanna bet that the new SP user, if a male, is going to be femmy in some degree or another?

Aw, no more villain support, so they WERE all nothing but one hit wonders, so sad.

Welp looks like I don't have to worry about a darn thing until next year.. which is a little sad, I do so hate these long stints when nothing that I'm interested in comes out q.q.

I never lost faith in Touken support, thank you Bushi.

The lack of Oracle Think Tank is honestly the most shocking thing here out of anything in my opinion. Unless December is for them, Oracles go a whole year without support after a bit of a semi-mediocre wave of support all the way back in Moonlit Dragonfang(and FC15 Winter, I guess). Mind you, Spike Brothers are in dire need of support, so I'm glad at least one of them is in GBT09.

GBT09 Shadows will likely support Witches given how they're the only real dead deck in the clan. Claret's okay, Diablo's great, Revengers are fine, though Blasters revolved around Phantom Blaster Overlord could be neat. Narukami better be Dungaree.

Also, apparently, the same day this info dump happened, we got one of the Touken Ranbu cards from the Clan Booster!

Tsurumaru Kuninaga Toku

[Stride] (Released when both players' vanguards are grade 3 or greater!)-Stride Step-[Choose one or more cards with the sum of their grades being 3 or greater from your hand, and discard them] Stride this card on your (VC) from face down.
[ACT](VC)[1/Turn]:[Counter Blast (1) & Soul Blast (1) & Choose a face down card named "Tsurumaru Kuninaga Toku" from your G zone, and turn it face up] Choose a grade 3 and 2 card from your drop zone, and call them to separate (RC). If the number of face up cards in your G zone is two or more, at the end of that turn, choose one of the units called with this effect, and you may return it to your hand.

See the Magus support from G-Set 5 it was actually pretty viable for the time and I was completely fine with it personally even though nowhere near as good as other decks could do for the time and that alone made G-Set 5 fine at least for Magus anyway. Though it's obvious they did not make g-set 5 support accounting for Sebreeze and grade 2 fix. If that wasn't enough OTT didn't even make that many viable "Oracle" (The restriction) cards (Also 1 support card which should had been "oracle" in the first place also 7k g2 really?) in that set and even then most of the "Oracle" restricted cards from that set were outright terrible outside of 2 cards which was, Magical Calico (The ok techy Starter for 3 deck thin) and Flip Cloony the g3 which needed on hit (At least it was free). Then Sussano stride which I personally still think is one of the most fairest and underrated strides OTT ever got because Free 21k lanes (was a godsend for me) but it wasn't going to save it in this long term state because LJ Basically Period then everything after G-Set 5 had pushed the boundaries of the game. [ /End Rant over g-set 5 OTT.]

Then G-Guard came and put Tom in a iffy situation. (Still has some viability more early now then later which personally I do not prefer)

Now regardless (Since I don't count FC's support for anything since its for everything they have licences too also same reason why cray elemental don't count) It would have been more then a year since OTT was properly set, clan, or tech booster supported. (November 13, 2015 was G-Set 5 date) Also predicted ott wouldn't get supported to at least January (Hope I'm proven wrong by the December's (not fighters collection hopefully) product.
 I personally hoping and would love it if OTT was in December or January (non fighters collections product) but whatever happens will be what happens.

I'm predict that when OTT do get supported again (Outside fighters) it be ether a main set or tech booster because I'm not expecting bushi to gamble on them selling a clan booster for them which would be very nice if they did it right. But honestly I dunno if they can or not. What they would get is for another thread all together.

Aw, no more villain support, so they WERE all nothing but one hit wonders, so sad.

Well who knows. Any of those clans in set 9 could be villain clans.

Great card. I like. Could make them viable.
