RAINDEAR + SHIZUKU + CHOUCHOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the past couple days, I have missed out on a lot of cards! This is gonna be another long post so, you have been warned. Let's get started!

6 Drive Checks? SURE!

Name: Song of Gracious, Raindear

Flavor Text: "The loud singing voice penetrates through the sea, calling out echoes of the sky."

Effect: "[AUTO] [VC]:[Counter Blast (1), Soul Blast (1) & Choose a face down card with the same card name as this unit from your G Zone and turn it face up] When your drive check reveals a grade 3 card, if you have a heart card with "Raindear" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose a rearguard and return it to your hand, and this unit gets +3000 power and +1 Drive until end of that battle."

It's honestly what you'd expect it to be but unlike Peaceful, this card's ability can stack which means you can potentially get +9000 and +3 drive checks. Extra cards to your hand and extra power your opponent has to deal with. Also boucning a rearguard doesn't hurt. I wanna keep the reviews short this time since I have a lot of units to cover. This card definitely helps Raindear so much. Next card!

Free power!

Name: Happiness for Ears, Merovil

Flavor Text: "Ha~ listening to this voice melts my ears~"

Effect: "[AUTO] [RC]: When your drive check reveals a grade 3, if you have a vanguard with "Raindear" in its card name, you may return this unit to your hand. If you do, choose up to two of your units, and they get +3000 power until end of turn."

This card is, okay. It offers a combo with Gracious Raindear to give Raindear and another unit +3000 on top of the extra 3k and +1 drive that Raindear has. It's a C so this card is fine for the final Raindear support in the G2 section. Not really much to talk about since this card is basic, if this card herself could get +1 grade in the trigger zone then this card is fine. NEXT CARD!

Shizuku is her own deck now

Name: Fulbright Wish, Shizuku

Flavor Text: "A dream that wished for realized. The ideal that displayed comes onto both hands."

Effect: [AUTO]:[Counter Blast 1] When this unit is placed on (VC), you may pay the cost. If you do, look at five cards from the top of your deck, reveal up to one grade 3 card or card with "Shizuku" in its card name from among them, put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck."

[AUTO] [VC] When your G unit Stride, choose one of your vanguards, and until end of turn, it gets "[CONT](VC): All originally grade 2 cards in your deck get Grade +1"

Woah! Shizuku became her own deck and not to mention all supports all the Shizuku cards that come before her! It's currently unknown what Shizuku's backup could be but I assume it's either gonna be something that looks for a Grade 3 or something that simply supports Shizuku. So far it seems like Shizuku can give someone hard advantage and makes all Shizuku more likely to activate properly. Can't wait to see Shizuku's Grade 4 in the future. Now we finally head into Chouchou cards!

Apparently a +2? Fine by me

Name: "Chouchou Sasha"

Flavor Text: "To be obessesed on brings you in a straight line! That is the guts of a Mermaid."

Effect: "[AUTO]: Forerunner (reminder text)

[AUTO] (RC) [Generation Break 1] (reminder text) [Counter Blast (1) & Return this unit to your hand] When your other rearguard with "Chouchou" in its card name is put into your deck, you may pay the cost. If you do, draw a card."

I feel like returning her to your hand as a cost, is a bit much. I mean, advantage is a cost?! OKAY! Anyway, this is by far the best starter Chouchou could ask for. There is nothing that could beat this without being almost ban worthy. By combo'ing with Tirua's stride skill, you can get 4 extra cards in your hand. It's a really good starter that is never getting replaced. Combine this with other cards and you could get even more of an advantage. What a great starter for Bermuda Triangle. Next!

Yet Another Battle Phase Caller! THIS TD THO

Name: "Chouchou, Malle"

Flavor Text: "Do not fear to fail. It is okay to just get it back next time."

Effect: " [AUTO] (RG) [Generation Break 1] (reminder text) [Counter Blast (1) & Choose one of your other rearguards with "Chouchou" in its card name, and put it to the bottom of your deck] At the end of the battle this unit boosted a Vanguard with "Chouchou" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, draw a card, choose up to one card from your hand, and call it to (RC)."


This card easily sets up with multiple attacks. Also this card makes so much combos it is like so unbelievable. This card can also set up for you calling a unit from your hand to RC without having to retire a unit since the unit you would have called over will have been put into the deck thanks to this cards cost. On top of making you not lose a unit, you get a draw off of it. So this is like a really good card that can set up for other units while it sets up for other units while that unit sets up for another units so on and so forth. Basically Chouchou is gonna be the Best combo deck in Bermuda. I can't believe that literally setting up for other units is a cost! Like WHAT?! Chouchou is gonna be my main Bermuda deck if this support gets any more better than it is already. NEXT CARD!

We never asked for a Fuurai like card here but good lord it's great

Name: "Chouchou, Listella"

Flavor Text:  "Try to jump out! I will support you!"

Effect: [AUTO] (RC) [Generation Break 1] (reminder text) [Soul Blast 1, Choose one of your other rearguards with "Chouchou" in its card name, and put it to the bottom of the deck] When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, draw a card and this unit gets +2000 power until end of that battle."

This card is yet another combo maker with a draw to boot. Looks like I'm really gonna have to test these girls out to see why nearly 90% of them draw a card. So seems like running draw triggers might be a bad idea but with all the deck recycling (sort of), it might be okay since the deck always gets cards back and gets drawn from at the time time so the deck keeps the same size it has upon activating a skill. Yeah so this girl is a combo maker, nothing much to be said so let's get into the final card!

An On-hit stride... But it is so good...!!

Name: "Chouchou, Lilienel"

Flavor Text: "Anyone who happened to be there breathes in the arrival of the new generation."

Effect: "[AUTO](VC): When this unit's attack hits a vanguard, choose up to one of your rearguards, and return it to your hand or put it on the bottom of your deck. If you put a unit into your deck, draw two cards."

This is like a really good first stride on-hit if Chouchou doesn't get anymore strides which I doubt they won't but that might ruin spaces for other decks that want support. So I don't expect anything else, but the only problem with this card is that if your opponent knows what it does, they won't let it hit, and making this on attack btw would be too good! I don't mind this stride at all since IF it does hit, it'll be super beneficial to you. Not much to be said except that this is a really good TD first stride. Bushi has done something good this year. 

So that's all from me until tomorrow when more cards get revealed! Hopefully it'll be good support again! I want Pacifica stuff now though so please Bushi. Bye-Bye!

*insert high pitched squealing here*

Early Game? Check. Middle Game? Check. Late Game? What late game :P

Riviere's stride form was revealed yesterday as well as her full effect and some support! I would have done this yesterday but I was too busy squealing to write this post. Like OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!!!!! So basically

Legendary Idol, Riviere

Grade 4

Usual Stats

Flavour Text: "It's because there are people who supports her. The legend now has become a myth."

"ACT [VG] 1/TURN [Counter-Blast 1, Choose a face down G unit with the same card name as this unit] (unfortunately :'( but makes sense). Choose up to the same number of your rearguards as the number of cards with "Riviere" in their card names, they get +5000 power until end of turn. If you have three or more face up cards in your G zone, draw a card, and this unit gets +10000 power and +1 Critical until end of turn."

THIS IS A GOOD SKILL ALRIGHT!! While the cards in your soul with "___" in its card name is Corals' thing, it is fine since they are both ride chains and they both give you a pat on the back for completing the ride chain. This is basically the same with Frontier Star, Coral so you don't need a heart card with Riviere to do this skill. The main difference is what you can flip. Riviere has to flip herself which is kinda sad cause I wanted to use this girl multiple times in a row, but imagine constantly spamming this XD. It's a literal death sentence for your opponent if you rush them early game. Also because she needs 3 g units face up (including herself), you'll need to save Riviere for the middle game in order to make full use of her (if they aren't dead by then). I like this idea since I generally use the Cray Elemental g units which turn Riviere's 10k base into an advantage (deck profile coming soon). It's more likely that the reason they went with the G Persona Blast is because Top Idol, Riviere is a Persona Blast, but that effect can be used a maximum of three times so like, why didn't they just make this card a G Blaster? Well, whatever, it's not like your opponent should be surviving the 2nd stride of this anyway so. I'm not saying I don't like this, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! But it could have been a tiny bit better. Should I get to her support? Yeah!!!!!

Remember Arboros's G1? Yep.

Flavour Text: "Compete and help each other. Friendships are supposed to be like this." Very Sweet.

This girl is called "Hearty Dance, Courasche" and she is basically the G1 Arboros for Riviere.

"[ACT][VG][Choose a RG named "Bermuda Triangle Cadet, Riviere" and put it into your soul] Search your deck for a "Mermaid Idol, Riviere" or "Super Idol, Riviere" reveal it, put it to your hand, and shuffle your deck. If you put "Mermaid Idol, Riviere" into your hand, Ride it as Stand"

So it's okay. I don't know why they include the G2 for these things at all but eventually I'll find the reason why if you just want to get the ride chain right. This card could have been better but this is also fine. Thank god it is a C so there is that. Oh well. It's something, could've been better. BUT I DON'T WANT AN "It's something" TYPE OF CARD! I WANT AN "I will definitely take out x card for this card OMG!!!!" TYPE OF CARD! sigh.

Time for the next support card!

Hey Coral! CHECK THIS OUT!

This girl is called "Lunchmaker, Aika"! Not a hard to forget name XD and she is almost Lyrica for Riviere.

Flavour text (brace yourselves): "I should put many of the side dishes that Rivie likes~ *music note*" SHE CALLS HER RIVIE!! OMGGGGGG I CALL RIVIERE RIVI SO, CLOSE ENOUGH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, let's go into her effect

"[AUTO]: [Choose a card from your hand and put it into your soul] When this unit is placed on RG, if you have a Grade 2 or greater vanguard with "Riviere" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, draw a card."

Not a bad card, sets up your Riviere soul and gives you a draw, it would be better than Lyrica if she had one more skill, however I'm sure that would be "too much" for Riviere. This card is one I'm using definitely. Also, she starts everything off when you have "Super Idol, Rivi" on your VG which is generally when I start rushing anyway so this restriction isn't weird, however it might interfere with my rushing unless I draw into something else I guess. This isn't a bad card however one more skill would have been nice. 

That concludes all the G1 Support Riviere will probably be getting this set so. I give this support a 6/10. It does what Riviere now does and fixes the Ride chain so, nothing special and nothing unexpected so, it's a fine G1 support although my G1 space is gonna need some fixing and I don't wanna take out Shizuku, but if I have to I will. 

Time for the last support revealed for Riviere for now!

Let the rush begin! I guess

This girl is called "Limpid Chorus, Meirin" AND YO IS THAT THE FIN RIVIERE WEARS??? AND WHAT ABOUT THAT DRESS TOO????!!!!! She is like super adorable though

Flavour Text: "I will not lose to (*) and work harder!" * = Maybe something else goes here

"[AUTO]: [RG] When this unit attacks a vanguard, if you have a "Super Idol, Riviere" on your VG or soul, until end of that battle, this unit gets +2000 power, and "[AUTO]:(RG): When this unit's attack hits, Counter Charge (1)/Soul Charge (1).".

Before the full translation, it was just if you had a Super Idol, Riviere on your VG and that sucked so I'm happy it also included soul. Also this Super Idol, Rivi restriction.... For all you people who prefer to have Trois on your VG, GO HARD!!!! Once again, this card starts off when you have the G2 Rivi on your VG so this card supports rushing at the G2 stage. Makes me wonder if we will get another g2 and a g3 that also supports rushing or similar fighting styles. The CC1 SC1 is kinda weird since other than Top Idol, Rivi, Rising Star, Trois and some strides, this cards CC1 won't be needed, if this card also allowed you to draw a card, THAT WOULD BE RR WORTHY!!!! SC is obviously so you can try and SC a Rivi for Legendary Idol. Overall this card isn't that bad! Flute, for me, is definitely getting replaced for this card! Not much else is to be said really.

That was all for the Riviere support that was revealed. I hope for another G2 and a G3 and I'll be satisfied with this set, now to wait for the extra Coral support! And Pacifica and basically everything coming in this set. 

One other card that was revealed was the Trial deck G Guard

"Chouchou, Pallfy"

Bye Nasha

This G Guard is basically the Ichibyoshi G Guard which almost fits Bermuda perfectly! Yeah, Nasha is definitely going! Not much to be said, a really good TD G Guard! Which also might hint at what Chouchou is also about but we will wait until next week and see.

That's all from me, so I'M ONE HAPPY PERSON!!!! RIVIERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BermudaMaster~ Until next time

People Say "Luard!" I say "Please Make Bermuda Great"

Anyone Like Hand Advantage?

This new Mermaid's name is (as you can see) Chouchou Stage Debut, Tirua. Her effect is a little blurry but you can make it out. The most important part for me is the requirement to have to reveal a card with Chouchou to get an extra draw, also you need to Gear Chronicle a rearguard. Which either means that the playstyle of Chouchou is more early base or most units can do stuff when they leave the RG (which would be weird). Chouchou is gonna be a new sub-clan (archetype whatever). I like how Bushiroad is pushing players to use the Keyword units more than ever before (e.g. Amaruda, Scharhrot, Shiranui etc) which obviously tells us that Chouchou is a deck that you can have 100% of Chouchou's in your deck which makes Tirua super consistent. Now the next part is the fact she can make you stride for free by doing what Bermuda does, or what Chouchou does. A stride skill does what a clan or sub-clan usually does most, like how Fenrir is mandatory a soulcharge so you can pay the cost for Soulblasts which helps Genesis. Luard also calls Grade 1 units which can be sacked off later on. So, maybe Chouchou as a whole requires you to run Chouchou units to be able to kick off effects. Also, the fact you only need one or less rearguards to stride for free may also make us assume that Chouchou requires you to send units to the bottom of the deck for later on or maybe it makes you bounce units to reveal the top card of deck and if it was a Chouchou card, add it to your hand and draw 1 card or things like that. This is just one card so ehhhhhhhh? We'll just have to see what Chouchou gets later on I guess. 

Anyway, that was all from me so byebye.

G Clan Booster 5 - Divas of Seven Colours + Trial Deck

OHHHHH MAN THE MERMAIDS ARE BACK AND OMGGGGGGG RIVIERE SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE WAITED FOR SO LONG FOR HER SUPPORT!!!! Anyway. So, so far the things that are confirmed to be supported are "Coral, Duo, Riviere (AAAAAA), Lauris (so hopefully good harmony units this time) Pacifica, Raindear and Chouchou cards (the new theme)" So. I hope that good things come from this set and I can't wait to review each card that comes out! Especially the Riviere and Coral support! 

Last but not least. We have the Bermuda Triangle trial deck! "Divas Debut" features the Chouchou theme and, like the Nubatama trial deck, comes with 2 copies of 1 G Guardian! Also! As an additional bonus, unlike trial decks thus far, instead of hot stamp, the SP is an alternate art of the main grade 3! (As seen above). So happy with this! Definitely buying 4 of this and I'm gonna try to buy as much I can of the Clan Booster! Both the Clan Booster and Trial Deck release on the same day so yeeeeeeee!!!! I'm so hype!!! This was all from me and I hope the next post is the Bermuda GB8!

BermudaMaster out~
