Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. 2018 is almost over, but there are still crappy RRs being printed, as evidenced by the recent Haruka RR from C.O.T.D. Feelsbadman.

ANYWAY, forget the depressing shit. It’s time to be MERRRRRY! Bordsaviours is going to go through some of the most Christmas-y cards in preparation for the upcoming holidays, so why not rejoice for once instead of being salty? It doesn’t matter how unplayable or inaccessible these cards are. All it matters is that it yells CHRISTMAS~

Now lets get started shall we?

Charles, Welcome to Christmas Party!

[A] When Damage dealt by this is cancelled, you may put this in Stock.

Uhhh at least you get to stock charge? Technically it could also dodge potential on-reverse combos too since that’s one less free reverse. Anyway, the important thing is I want Sharuru to come down my chimney and gib me da succ…. after giving her some cookies and milk of course.

Alisa & Suzuka, Christmas Party

*Vanilla*

Awww how cute. Nothing wrong with cute lolis giving you presents and asking you for headpats… Unless you lewd them. Then it’s time for a visit from someone other than Santa…

Nero, Christmas Girl

[A] [(1) Discard a Climax card from hand to the Waiting Room] When this is placed from hand to the Stage, you may pay cost. If so, choose 1 Climax card in your Waiting Room and return it to your hand.

[A] [Put this in the Waiting Room] When “Fluffy Things in the Forest” is placed in your Climax Zone, you may pay cost. If so, choose up to 1 “Nero, Yukata Dress” or “Sora Tokui, Overdrive!” in your hand and put it in the Slot this was in.

Interesting effect since it allows you to handfix for a proper climax that you can use for your level 3 cxc. This is quite handy if you’re one of those people who dislike holding onto their climaxes for that guaranteed level 3 end game. However, this card gets minus points from me because Nero decides to transform into a yukata or become some real life voice actress for some reason.

Miki, Sexy Santa

[S] [Counter] BACKUP 3000, Level 2 [(1) Discard this card from your hand to the Waiting Room]

Yes, it’s a vanilla 3k backup and yes, this girl is like 14 years old. Don’t get any crazy ideas. Speaking of 765, I hope they get some nice utility to support that 3/2 top check burn Miki without turning this set into another Love Live Sunshine…

By the way this card is from The Idolm@ster episode 22 which is a fantastic part which does some excellent foreshadowing. I highly recommend people to pick up this series even if it is an IDOL show. It’s just that good that even I would like it.

Mato, Xmas Party

[C] If you have 1 of fewer other Characters, all your other Characters gain +1500 Power.

Wow for once, we have quite a decent card. I’d really like to believe that I didn’t own Black Rock Shooter at one point and used this card… However this card is a nice +1 most of the time since who plays bombs lul and it makes your other card THICC.

I do prefer the traditional 4k though but hey, at least you can double attack without remorse, which means your opponent didn’t hit level 1 before you :3

Note: Mato was probably my favorite Kana Hanazawa so far

Santa Kuroyukihime

[C] Your other Character in the Front Row Center Slot gains +1000 Power.

[A] When this is placed from hand to the Stage, choose 1 of your other ::Avatar:: or ::Net:: Characters, and that Character gains +1000 Power for the turn.

Not bad but not exactly good either. Let’s be real though, no one cares about her effect. What we do care is that she loses in the… TURKEY? breast competition when she has to compete against some other girls in Accel World, mainly Fuko chan who is kinky as hell.

Northern Princess, Christmas

[A] When this becomes Reversed, if the Level of the Battle Opponent of this is 0 or lower, you may put the top card of your Opponent’s Clock in the Waiting Room. If so, put that Character in Clock.

[A] [Clock] SHIFT Level 0

Yes, even satanic sp00ky boats celebrate Christmas. This one in particular, has a very playable effect since it does field removal and is 1k, meaning it can get rid of those pesky Hibikis that bring out that stupid level 1. Of course that’s only one example, but being 1k really does help in that department. The shift thing is pretty neat though since you can grab this into your hand by replacing another shitty green card, which is most likely a gold bar that you want to get rid of.

But let’s talk about the more important stuff, how Hoppo chooses to celebrate her holidays regardless of her gender, race or religion. You don’t need to be some THOT in a sexy, revealing santa outfit or have to eat Turkey every single Christmas dinner. Just remember to have fun and be responsible!

“Present for You” Eli Ayase

[C] If you have 3 or more other ::Music:: Characters, this gains +1000 Power.

[A] [(1)] When this is placed from hand to the Stage or via CHANGE to the Stage, you may pay cost. If so, put all your Opponent’s Stock in the Waiting Room, and then your Opponent puts the same number of cards from top of his or her Library in Stock.

Holy shit, this card is pretty good. I remember the glory days of Love Live where barbaric idol-obsessed weeaboos tried to kill me with this card along with some Nico clock kicks and that stupid Rin Fumio. Needless to say, it was very effective. I can’t help but feel like these cards have gotten stronger over time since decks these days can build up resources like nothing compared to 3 years ago, especially stock. This sort of card really cripples decks like Rewrite.

Aside from my trivial Weiss Schwarz past though, let’s talk about how forgotten Eli and µ’s has become. Everything is about Love Live Sunshine now and even those PRs in JP never really seemed to bounce these older idols back into favor. I can’t help but notice how Love Live Sunshine eventually got really good results while Love Live was always just in the shadows of better decks even with good cards like this…

Wait why am I talking about more depressing stuff? Christmas is supposed to be happy! Let’s move on shall we?

“Christmas Party” Saber & Rin

[C] Your other Character in the Front Row Center Slot gains +1000 Power.

[A] When this is placed from hand to the Stage, look at the top card of your Library and put it either on top of your Library or in the Waiting Room.

You know, I’m starting to notice a trend here and it’s that I don’t really seem to like cards that give 1k in the middle on both turns. These cards seem pretty useless for backrow unless it’s on a brainstorm, like Index.

The top check is quite a nice effect though since you can technically run a coinflip deck with that Archer 3/2 burn for X, X = level of the character.

I like how Tohsaka remains wearing those deadly thigh high stockings even in Christmas. This girl knows her strengths. Perhaps this is why I don’t find Ishtar as sexually appealing when I play FGO. It also doesn’t help that Ishtar is basically Aqua from Konosuba which you know… makes her more likable but at the same time really detracts from physical attraction.

As for Seiba over there, let’s just say I prefer Santa alter. Also I don’t recall her eyes being THAT dark green. Minus points!

Kasumi, Happy Christmas~

[A] This ability activates up to twice per turn. When your other Character with either ::Music:: or “Asuka” in name is placed from hand to the Stage, this gains +1000 Power for the turn.

[A] CX COMBO When this attacks, if “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is in the Climax Zone, you may choose a “Something Inside the Storage” in your Waiting Room and return it to your hand.

Oh my this is the last card we are going to cover on this Christmas list and it’s a pretty meta card. At this point, anyone who has not been living under a rock who plays Weiss Schwarz knows what this card does. In fact, this card is still like 3480 yen and sold out on yuyutei!

Oh Kasumeme. What are we going to do with you? You’re just still too meta and Bang Dream shows no sign of stopping other that potential restrictions that won’t hurt it that much. As SOMEONE said in a certain discord group, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Something Inside the Storage get hit by the banlist sometime later.

BONUS ROUND:

“Bailaora” Emilia

[C] If the Cost of the Character Opposite this is 0 or lower, this does not Reverse.

I don’t even like Emilia but WOW. Just look how classy she is in that outfit. She is certainly dressed for New Years. Speaking of New Years, Bordsaviours doesn’t plan to die anytime soon. Although we’ve been uploading less and less, I hope many of you look forward to our future articles. It’s ultimately you guys who bring us back to uploading more and more, so don’t forget about us in 2019!

Until then however… enjoy your upcoming MERRY CHRISTMAS!
