Blaster Blade Exceed   Just in time for the June meta, we have new Royal Paladin toys! Beginning with Blaster Blade Exceed, who can retire a Grade 1 or above RG when ridden or called. And when you Stride a Saver G-Unit, you CB1 to add a Blaster Blade card to your hand from the deck.   Well, primarily, you're using it for the name and the combos it unlocks rather than for the skill. Recycling itself and adding more Stride fodder (as in more Exceed) for CB1 is nice and all, but it's going to burn through your damage quite fast, especially given how Llew and Floral Flogal already burnt through enough. The on-play skill is something that you're probably never going to use unless something urgently needs to die before you start the attack. With that said, it's simple enough to use and has relevance outside of Stride regardless.   Not flashy but making him more complicated would mean easier cockblocking. Just take what he is and wait for the Blaster support coming in...September? JESUS.   2.5/5

Blaster Blade Exceed Ah, Blaster Blade. Ever since the beginning of vanguard we've seen this card come back over and over again, whether in a new form or with a fresh support. The new Legend Deck, though, finallly gives Blaster Blade an entire deck dedicated to itself, and what better way to do that than with a new Grade 3 that tailors entirely to BB His 2 skills are both pretty solid; being able to retire units when placed is nice, especially with how wide the range of what you can hit is. And with the new Saver units coming like Gancelot and Alfred, the ability to search out Blaster Blade of any variety is a good support skill (though Favored Pupil Llew is a better choice, usually) Overall it helps smooth out the Blaster Blade deck, and that's not even mentioning his synergy with Alfred Saver (we'll get to him). hopefully he proves strong enough to edge out Sanctuary Guard Dragon in dedicated Blaster decks (if only.) 3/5
