If a player built a deck akin to that last example, would it be considered вЂluckвЂ™ if they managed to use PellinoreвЂ™s effect at least once or twice in a 3-game match?Д¬ardfight!! Vanguard allows players to build decks that revolve heavily around luck. And, if you run multiple copies of Spring Breeze, maximum numbers of Viviane, a draw-heavy trigger distribution to move cards around faster, cards like Lop Ear Shooter and Garmore to thin the deck of non-Pellinore units (and non-triggers!), and the self-damaging units to shuffle Pellinores back into the deck (especially after previously moving mistimed Pellinores to the bottom of the deck), then getting PellinoreвЂ™s effect off suddenly doesnвЂ™t seem to be that daunting of a task. If you only run a single copy of Spring Breeze Messenger, then itвЂ™s extremely unlikely that youвЂ™ll ever use PellinoreвЂ™s effect. If you place Pellinore into a deck that lacks units like Spring Breeze Messenger and Viviane, then no amount of luck will let you make any use of Pellinore. ItвЂ™s not entirely wrong to consider the two mini-examples above вЂluckвЂ™, but itвЂ™s not entirely right, either. If a player has already lost a Pellinore to a damage check, but still manages to superior call it mid-battle, then theyвЂ™re also considered lucky. Even if a player has only 3 units on the field and nothing but Draw triggers in their hand, if that player manages to drive check two critical triggers in a row, then that player is considered lucky. When many players talk about an opponentвЂ™s luck, they can only really refer to the luck that they openly witness. But, if the Pellinore player can pull off that effect and get Pellinore onto that VG circle, then youвЂ™re definitely going to notice. Even if that player did happen to have a Pelllinore in their hand, you wouldnвЂ™t know it. All you know is that they still have most/all of their Pellinores in their deck. But, as the opponent, you wouldnвЂ™t know that. ThatвЂ™s not usually the case, as itвЂ™s much more likely that theyвЂ™ll draw into Pellinore on their own turn. The Pellinore player now has a much lower chance of using PellinoreвЂ™s effect. If you see your opponent drive/damage check a Pellinore, then youвЂ™ll likely be happy about it. Now, letвЂ™s look at Pellinore from the opponentвЂ™s point of view. On the other hand, if youвЂ™re able to pull off PellinoreвЂ™s effect (with Spring Breeze Messenger or something), and pull off that second VG attack in a turn, then it shows that you were able to avoid both the odds of getting that Pellinore in your hand, and beat the odds of not finding it after checking the top X cards of your deck. It might end up being your only choice for your normal G3 ride, and itвЂ™s far from your ideal choice in just about any GP deck. If youвЂ™re using Pellinore, and you end up getting it in your hand at any point in the game, then itвЂ™s usually a dead draw. IвЂ™ve often considered Pellinore to be the card that epitomizes how many players think about the game. ItвЂ™s a card thatвЂ™s useless from the moment it hits your hand, but is a godsend when you call it from the deck. Without that, itвЂ™s a generic 10k attacker that cannot intercept. The one and only strength of Pellinore is that if you can call it in the middle of your battle phase, after attacking with your previous Vanguard, you can perform a second attack with your new Pellinore Vanguard, granting you an extra two Drive checks for that turn. Pellinore shows up infrequently in Gold Paladin decks, and has even seen play in high-level championship games. ItвЂ™s a Grade 3 unit, 10k power, with an effect that allows you to place it on your VG circle if itвЂ™s called to an RG circle directly from your deck. LetвЂ™s take a look at one of the units from the вЂover-poweredвЂ™ Gold Paladin clan: вЂWhite Hare in the MoonвЂ™s Shadow, PellinoreвЂќ. I think that itвЂ™s time to discuss just how luck and skill factor into this game, and to dispel some common misconceptions regarding how people go about playing Cardfight!! Vanguard. Perhaps youвЂ™re on the sidelines, concerned as to whether or not you should continue working on your Angel Feather deck, or scrap it and aim for a clan thatвЂ™s objectively considered to be вЂbetterвЂ™. Perhaps youвЂ™re on the winning side of the table, confused as to why your opponent dismisses your carefully-tuned deck and play style, and attributes your victories solely to luck. Perhaps youвЂ™re on the losing side of the table, constantly aggravated by your opponentвЂ™s ability to constantly get what they need by the time they need it.

ItвЂ™s a disheartening trend thatвЂ™s been creeping up lately.
