I am a just your average player who got back into vanguard in G-BT04 and quit around BT02 that I came back with a minimal knowledge of the current meta and managed to do decently for myself winning 8 slots in a neo nectar cup for G-BT04 allowing me to obtain a decent card pull for myself.
My main deck is Neo Nectar maiden build where I maximize the effects the superior calling to gain advantages.
I'm also playing a Dark Irregular Amon deck which i would be doing a deck review after I achieve some results for it after testing.
My personal goal is to become the clan leader for neo nectar to make all 4 types of neo nectar deck and mastering each of them.
I have a side project of a Duo Bermuda Triangle deck.
I am highly loyal to my clans and do not switch clans often. However I am still able to give reviews for decks without prejudice.

Understanding Neo Nectar
Today I will be be discussing about the potential of Maiden build of Neo Nectar. Specifically,
Ahsha's build.
Why Ahsha maiden you might be asking yourself.
Well, Ahsha maiden gives a large rear guard column which can easily hit high numbers, further more you are able to triple check for triggers when u attack with vanguard, this deck can easily hit stands as they can cycle.
Now here's a couple differences of this deck compared to Musketeers, it burns your hand. You area slower deck most deck out there, it is very essential for you to put on pressure with your field as early as possible. This is all due to the simple fact that you are a combo deck
And now the weakness of the deck. Locking by your opponent just stop your game (Ahem, I looking at you Messiah) You are probably thinking "Hey, the meta is such that there is Link Joker everywhere so why should I pick up this deck?" This deck do relatively well against the rest of the deck pool.
But all that aside is highly satisfying when you hit insane numbers like a rearguard column thats 74k with out any triggers now add a couple of triggers and they are throught the roof! The likely hood of you hitting such numbers are not that low as you are able to superior call the combo pieces from your deck!
This is my build for my deck:
Grade 4/ Strides:
4x Dream-spinning Ranunculus, Ahsha
2x Sacred Tree Dragon, Jingle Flower Dragon
1x Flower Princess of Spring, Arborea
1x Flower Princess of Spring's Beginning, Primavera
Grade 3:
4x Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha
4x Maiden of Venus Trap "Reverse"
Grade 2:
4x Flower screen
3x Maiden of Cherry Bloom
3x Maiden of Gladiolus
Grade 1:
4x Early-flowering Maiden, Pia
3x Maiden of Cherry Stone
4x Valkyrie of Reclamation, Padmini
3x Maiden of Passionflower
1x Phalaenopsis Musketeer, Kristie
Grade 0:
4x Fairy Light Dragon
4x Flower Garden Maiden, Mylis
2x Gardenia Musketeer, Alain
1x Maiden of Dimorphotheca
4x Maiden of Daybreak
1x Maiden of Morning Glory
Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha is a a grade 3 that you can only get from the Neo Nectar trial deck. Buying a copy of the TD only provides you with 2 copies so you are most likely required to buy 2 copies of the TD to be able to build a consistent deck
The rest of the cards should not be hard to get as most of the cards are from recent sets.
Playstyle:
When riding grade 1 you would like to call a Maiden of Cherry Stone behind your vanguard early to fix your column as early as possible further more this allows you to use it a pressure hitter such that the opponent is more inclined to guard it.
When riding grade 2 you ideally want to ride Maiden of Gladiolus or Maiden of Cherry Bloom as Maiden of Flower Screen is 1 more your combo pieces.
When riding grade 3, i highly recommend to ride Maiden of Venus Trap, Reverse as it allows to gain free rear guard early even if you are unable to stride however its draw back is locking a space and also requiring limit break 4. The reason for not choosing Ahsha as your 1st ride is because its GB2 skill is very slow and further more it has a the issue that it requires a present unit on stride face to duplicate.
When striding, there isn't much to say. Just use which ever best fits your situation. Jingle Flower Dragon is mainly used for finishing off your opponent and so use Primavera.
Combo: 2 flower screen and 3 pia alot alot of damage. Ahsha g3 or jingle for vg
Plan:
Against Kagero, you should not be too worried as this deck as been building towards countering the mechanics of constantly retiring our rear guard. This is achieved by calling a single unit of to generate a lot more unit while still saving your hand for guarding. You should tend to keep to the plan for the deck as it should not diverge much
Against Link Joker, well.... Round 2? In all seriousness though ITS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN. This clan is not suited to compete against Link Jokers be it Glendios or Messiah (I know that there are more deck out there but these are the main ones that appear) all i can say is try to finish them off the same turn u called a full field. I personally have a 25% win rate against link joker deck specifically Messiah.
Against others, there isn't much to say for the rest as the going up against the other clans are pretty much you executing your plan and also remaining aware of the weakness of the opponent.
Contact me here for an in-depth explanation
Note: Narukami is similar to Kagero but has lesser retire (as of pre gbt05)
I have yet to full check through the whole G-BT05 list
Ahsha's build.
