Amon’s Leader, Astaroth. New Era Beast, Zeal. Dragonic Overlord, “The X”. Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Typhoon. Goddess of the Treasured Mirror, Ohirume. Light Source Seeker, Alfred Exiv. Dragonic Kaiser Crimson. What do all these diverse cards have in common? They all Legion with cards that weren’t originally supposed to Legion. I mean, before the Legion era was a thing, would you think that Dragonic Overlord, the End would be on the vanguard circle with another Dragonic Overlord? But let’s be honest, Bushiroad has always been the one to be… creative for their card games. From Limit Breaks to G-Units, they’ve surprised us over time, in interesting ways. I digress. But, since cards like these exist, I thought, “Hey Sam! Why don’t you make a top ten about this! Nobody’s done it (probably), and it would be a good topic to discuss.” Without further ado, Top 5 Cards, I’d like to see legion.

What is Legion?

If your new or something and don’t know what Legion is, it is where (usually), you return four cards from the drop zone into the deck, search for one card that the Vanguard unit specifies in the deck, and put it to the left of the Vanguard on the vanguard circle, then shuffle the deck. It’s power is added to Vanguard’s power while attacking (including boosts if in any). You may not Legion again for the remainder of the game. For advanced rules, click here.

Rules for Top 5

Only 1 spot in the Top 5 for a clan.

5: Chief Nurse, Shamsiel

I wanted to start this list out with an Angel Feather unit I’ve seen forgotten to time. Chief Nurse, Shamsiel was great for guaranteed boosts and Damage Zone control for not only it, but also for units such as Thousand Ray Pegasus. But there are better ways to do this now via Black Shiver, Gavrail. So, let’s give this one a Legion unit to help it! I’m thinking something like this:

Head Doctor, Mirum

Legion 21000: Chief Nurse, Shamsiel

[ACT] (VC):Your Legion Mate’s Limit Break 4 requires 3 damage instead of four.

[AUTO] (VC):[Counter Blast 1] When your G-Unit strides, you may pay the cost. If you do, take a card from the damage zone and put in your hand. If a card is put into the damage zone this way, put a card from your hand into the damage zone face up, and the vanguard gets +5000 until end of turn.

The reason this spot on the list is because I’d like to see Shamsiel come back in way that reflects the olden times when we didn’t need rescue keywords to be good (and it still doesn’t). I guess it’s just kind of nostalgiac choice, but hey! It made on the list so this is all fine.

4: Silver Thorn Beast Tamer, Marcica

4th spot, I wanted to talk Pale Moon. Out of every single clan in the game, Pale Moon is the only clan with one legion. Depressing. Well, let’s just take Silver Thorn and make it better. Silver Thorn is somewhat a subclan forgotten to time. Although, a stride bonus version of Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luqueir (which isn’t really that good) is coming out, a legion for this subclan is not only neccessary (1 legion? Really?), it would put Silver Thorns back and better then before. So I took some inspiration from Silver Thorn Dragon Empress, Venus Lequeir and I thought a legion for Maricica. Maricica is a good unit in general, and having an ability that lets call a unit out to rear from the soul if it’s attack hits a vanguard. For Venus Lequeir, I thought up of a unit that would fit it and also give it an up to date legion.

Silver Thorn Dragon Empress, Uranus Lequeir

Legion 20000: Silver Thorn Beast Tamer, Maricica

[AUTO] (VC) {1/Turn} Limit Break 4:[Counter Blast 1 & Soul Blast 1 both with “Silver Thorn” in the card name] When the unit attacks a vanguard, if this unit is in Legion, you may pay the cost. If you do, call out up to five units from the soul whose grade numbers add up to 6 as stand.

[CONT] (VC):When this unit is in Legion, when a unit is called out to rear-guard from the soul, it gets “[ACT] (RC):This unit gets +1000[Power]” and “Magia-[ACT] (RC):At the end of the turn, this unit goes back into the soul.”

It kind of seems OP for Counter Blast 1 & Soul Blast 1, but it does require Limit Break 4 and Silver Thorn isn’t very good with Soul Charging as far as I’ve seen they’re cards.

If you don’t see how OP this could be, let me give you a brief summary. Calling out units during the battle phase that add up to grade 6 means you can call 2 grade 2’s and 2 grade 1’s (or even grade 0’s!), which basically reassures that you’ve refreshed your entire field for another round of battles (after a max of 3 battles before that). With +1000 and a magia ability. But at that cost, I think that’s balanced. P.S. I am aware that Lequier got some competitive use, but let’s be honest. Harri is way better.

3: Super Dimensional Robo, Daikaiser

Now this one is for my friend, Noah. I looked at Dimension Police for my next choice here on the list. I eventually decided that I’d like Dark Dimesnional Robo, “Яeverse” Daiyusha needed a spot on this list. But, to be honest, for locking two rear-guards that are Dimensional Robos and 1 Counter blast, it’s not worth it for that power decrease. New Era Beast, Zeal can do one better, being in legion with Galactic Beast, Zeal with rear-guard support to back it up can help tremendously. So, what would be better? Well, how about the same exact unit, but upgraded in Legion form?

So for Daikaiser, I thought I would come up something that represents the dark side of Daikaiser.

Evil Dimensional Robo, “Shadow” Daikaiser

Flavor: I keep my power to myself. I will end this terror called Police!



Legion 22000: Super Dimensional Robo, Daikaiser

[AUTO] (VC):[Soul blast 1] When you Legion you may pay the cost. If you do, you return four cards from the drop zone to the deck normally, then take the unit specified from the soul and Legion.

[AUTO] (VC) {1/Turn} Limit Break 4:[Counter Blast 1 & rest one rear-guard with “Dimensional Robo” in it’s name] If this unit is in Legion, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your opponent’s vanguards and it gets -11000[Power] until the end of the turn.

This way, the potential for Reverse Daiyusha won’t be lost, just reincarnated. I think it’s a great idea personally, which is why it’s on the list. Oh, and more Dimensional Robos support. Yay!

2: Mond Blaukluger

With the reveal of the new Blau G-Unit, I thought it was time to give some love to the Blau’s – a… loved but hated subclan. Mond Blaukluger is the best break ride of all time. I don’t think that’s true, but it’s a great break ride nonetheless, but along with usual +10000 bonus, it also gives an ability in red which states: “[AUTO](VC):[Counter Blast (1)] When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, [Stand] all of your «Nova Grappler» rear-guards.” I don’t need to explain how good that is. Well, in the spirit of Christmas (or whatever holiday is closest when you read this), let’s give this something to remember the Blau’s. I present:

Milchstrabe Blaukluger

Legion 22000: Mond Blaukluger

[AUTO] (VC) (You need 3 or more damage to activate this skill):[Counter Blast 2] If this unit is in Legion, you may pay the cost. If you do, stand up to three units in the middle column.

[AUTO] (VC):If you do not have unit named “Mond Blaukluger” in your soul, -4000[Power].

Fun Fact: Every Blau unit is named after german words for space or things realted to it, usually. Blau itself means blue in German. The name I chose for the unit above – Milchstrabe (ß instead of b) – is actually german for Milky Way.

Number 1 is…

1: Salvation Lion, Grand Ezel Scissors

Oh yes. I have been waiting to talk about this. In case you don’t know what Grand Ezel Scissors does, it’s basically a big screw you to Link Joker. It’s abilities are as follows:

[ACT](VC) Limit Break 4:[Counter Blast (2) & Soul Blast (2)] Unlock all of your locked cards, if the number of «Gold Paladin» rear-guards you have is five, until end of turn, this unit gets [Power]+10000/[Critical]+1, and at the end of that turn, Soul Charge (1), choose a card from your damage zone, and turn it face up.

[CONT](VC):During your turn, this unit gets [Power]+1000 for each of your «Gold Paladin» rear-guards.

I would just use this to shove victory in the Link Joker players’ faces. This card is also just good in general, getting +10000/+1 Critical, just for Counter Blast 1 and Soul Blast 1 considering you have 5 rear-guards, which will most likely happen. (take that Counter Charge and Soul Charge into consideration). AND +1000 for every Gold Paladin rear-guard. So what would better than this by itself? A legion! And that card’s name is:

Guard Breaker, Ultimate Ezel Scissors

Legion 22000: Salvation Lion, Grand Ezel Scissors

[AUTO] (VC) Limit Break 4:[Soul Blast 1 & Discard a card from your hand that is on (VC)] When this unit attacks, if this unit is in Legion, you may pay the cost. If you do, until end of battle, your opponent cannot guard with units that have Sentinel a skill.

[AUTO] (VC):[Counter Blast 1 & Retire one of your rear-guards] When your G-Unit strides, you may pay the cost. If you do, Look at up to five cards from the top of your deck, call two to [RC], and put the rest on the bottom of the deck in any order. The units called get [Power]+1000.

With this unit, I wanted it to complement Grand Ezel Scissors in a Gold Paladin way, so I just shoved a break stride in their and a Guard Break (hence the name), that lets it get rid of of PG’s. I definitely think this is card I want to see legion the most. It’s skill and the Legion card I came up with just seal the deal. It’s nostalgiac, and don’t forget the most important thing. It gives Link Joker players a run for their money. 🙂
