CFV - SGD/Blaster Nov16

*Notes*

If you're wondering if I've gone this far why not just play the 16 crit build, it's because my locals have adjusted to rush very well. Players play more non-gb cards and will avoid giving me counter-blasts even if it means not dealing any damage at all. When playing SGD I'm very lucky to get more than 1 counter-blast by the time I ride G3/stride.

• I really liked the stronger earlier power with Llew so I threw Blaster Dark out; it could have been Spirit, Violinist or even Twin Sword but those cards are far more valuable than the 12k base it can potentially give.
• Blaster Blade Spirit is an important unit for 3 reasons; 
• Early game when called through Llew's skill he can hit 19k boosted by any G1 (usually a Miron that's been called by Benon).
• He easily hits the 16k /21k magic numbers when called through Llew's skill during Regalie and Altmile turns.
• He can be used as a cheap form of retire when superior called; very useful on things like Nurse of Broken Heart.
• Twin Sword is very valuable if you want a mid-game and plan to play against any deck that has board wipe. He can be used to play around things like Denial Griffin and Heteroround Dragon. 
• I upped the Barcgals; 
• One - For more opportunities to counter charge when I'm on G2. 
• Two - Increase the Llew combo early game (not necessarily for the multi-attack but to hit 19k). 

I'm very happy with the current list though I would think about dropping 1 more heal, a Miron or PG and possibly MLB if my meta does get faster. The deck is super consistent and even if I g-assist I'm generally able to recover pretty easily with Twin Sword/Violinist+Benon combo. Witch Sanctuary Guard Arc coming soon expect more english players to pick up this deck; I'm actually a little bit scared now that Bushiroad might finally ban/limit Regalie (its been on the watch list forever). The deck is really that strong against anything with a weaker early game.
