Hello everyone, this is Ascriptmaster here, back with another Cardfight!! Vanguard deck profile. Today we will be focusing on a new card from Fighters' Collection 2014, Ancient Dragon, Volcatops. Volcatops diverges from most other Tachikaze aces by using its skill to give rearguards power, while other aces primarily focus on giving power to themselves. Here is a video of the deck in action.
[ACT](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Counter Blast (1) & Choose one of your rear-guards with "Ancient Dragon" in its card name, and retire it] Choose up to two of your rear-guards with "Ancient Dragon" in its card name, and those units get [Power]+5000 until end of turn. This ability cannot be used for the rest of that turn.
[AUTO](VC):[Choose one of your rear-guards, and retire it] When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, this unit gets [Power]+5000 until end of that battle.

To start, the deck runs a full lineup of Iguanogorg and leads with Baby Rex. Both of these units are very useful because their abilities allow them to replace themselves when they are retired. Baby Rex is particularly nice because I can use Volcatops' second skill or one of my Dinocrowd to retire it and search out a Tyrannolegend, giving me an extra attack. Iguanogorg is also useful in this regard as its revival ability allows it to fulfill a role as booster for both rear-guard columns, by attacking with one column first, then attacking with Volcatops and retiring Iganogorg for its second skill.
Since Volcatops boosts rearguards instead of itself with its Limit Break, it benefits from stand triggers just as much as it does from critical triggers, as the rearguards will stand with increased power to force additional guard. I personally chose to only use 4 stands in my deck, but I recommend that you try out whatever combination of triggers that works for you.
My Grade 3 lineup focuses on Volcatops and Spinodriver as the main units to have as the Vanguard, Spinodriver being extremely useful as a Break Ride that gives criticals and draw power. The two Tyrannolegend act mainly as targets for Baby Rex, but if push comes to shove and I need to ride it, it serves decently as a Vanguard, albeit one that struggles to synergize with Stand Triggers because of its demanding Limit Break retiring 3 units.
