Card Reveals
For this series, since I wanted to explore the very beginnings of Vanguard within the context of the V Series, I needed to impose some restrictions on myself.
- 12 clans exist, instead of 24
- No Gift II
- No Order cards
- No Draw PGs
With these restrictions in mind, I'd like to introduce some new cards that will be seen in this series. One card per clan that I've talked about already.
