Well, if you wanna test out how well skill holds over the evolution of the game, when bt16 is completely out. Someone can hold a tournament. Each participant could only use cards from one season of vanguard, and the limit of payers in each season could be limited to amounts that you could choose.BT01-05: Season 1BT06-09: Season 2BT10-15: Season 3BT16: Season 4The extra boosters can be included into their respective seasons also.Since card sleeves are available now, maybe if any moderators are willing to, they could give a reward sleeve to the champion and the sleeve could change depending on the season that the winner represented. Better looking sleeves could be the reward for people in earlier seasons to tempt more players to use earlier seasons.

I'm not exactly sure how to make it balanced but I know for sure that the current rules wouldn't be fair at all. Maybe just have separate tournaments, like a Season 1 tournament followed by 2, 3, and 4. But even in that case it would just be the strongest decks from the respective seasons going against each other, so it would more be like a series of tournaments to go through the history of Vanguard.The problem is that every season there has been a large gap, so trying to put a normal Dragonic Overlord player up against a Re-birth player would only show the Season 1 player getting demolished.
I do think Legion wasn't the right way to proceed with Vanguard, the mechanic itself isn't really that bad but the new skills on the units are far too powerful that you can't even compare them to the previous archetypes (see Seekers and Brawlers, etc).Top that off with Legion having a ridiculous amount of power every turn, and you have complete power creep from the previous season.

It was quite obvious. The cost though is a small disappointment to me though.

It does allow more cautious people to be able to fight without the worry about possibly making themselves lose to use their limit breaks or megablasts.....What the [censor] ever happened to megablast anyway?

It is like a one shot victory card which usually doesn't work. Early Guarding does not need to be frequent. I can fill the drop with 3-4 cards extremely easily without mulligan skilled cards such as Lien over the span of 3 turns. If you are really comfortable with guarding early, you can do that with LB decks as well (In fact, I do guard really early if I don't want that early damage so quick and you are bound to have 1-2 triggers in your hand in many games anyway.)
