I don’t see too many other G Guardians forcing into existence cards that are only run specifically to check this and basically nothing else. I did say this list was reserved for the best G Era cards that may have changed the meta in some way, and they don’t come more drastic than a shakeup of card design itself, which makes me a wee bit salty as I’m not a big believer in sporting chances. I just want to indulge in bullshit that belongs only to me! My Zeroth Dragon isn’t great, I’ve basically only got retiring and re-standing as the main, and only like one thing to counter Resist. Your Gancelots and ilk can piss off.

3/5

(For those of you who prefer things on the opposite ends of the spectrum, check this mess out for the Bottom 10 of the G Era)

What’s up, Rogue Squad?!  I know I said that this is more than likely a Saikyo bias card, but I can still admit when a card is good, and Denial Griffin is probably one of the best G Guardians in the era (Heteround Dragon is definitely a contender alongside with Negrolily as she also sets up a pseudo Denial Griffin…but that’s just my bias ;-P). The fact that this card legit gets rid of a non-Resist attacker for a Counterblast is just great, especially in a clan that can easily refund your cost (namely Overlord or even Blademaster).  Simply put, said you’re a Kagero player in Premium, then you’re playing this.

Rating: 5/5

Next Time: The #1 card in the game…is also the #1 Dragon in the game.

Go Rogue…Go Pro…and Fight the Meta!!!
