Available products in this expansion

The items within this category are primarily divided into two main groups to cater to different types of collectors and players seeking to harness the power of the void.

Cardfight!! Vanguard Singles

Buying Singles is often the most efficient way to complete a specific deck list or find missing pieces for a competitive build. For the Star-vader Invasion set, this includes high-impact cards like Star-vader, Infinite Zero Dragon and Star-vader, Mobius Breath Dragon. Whether you are looking for common units to fill out your ranks or higher rarity versions for your collection, browsing individual cards allows you to target exactly what your deck needs without the randomness of sealed products. Many players use these singles to upgrade their existing Link Joker decks with more specialized Star-vader units.

Sealed Trial Decks

For those who prefer a ready-to-play experience, the Trial Decks provide a complete 50-card deck designed to showcase the Link Joker playstyle immediately. These products are ideal for new players entering the game or veterans who want a solid foundation for a more advanced Star-vader build. A sealed Trial Deck: Star-vader Invasion ensures you have all the basic components required to start using the Lock ability against your opponent’s rear-guards. It serves as a perfect entry point into the mechanical complexities of the Link Joker clan.

Guide to choosing Star-vader cards

When navigating this category, your choice should depend on your current collection and gameplay goals. If you are starting from scratch, purchasing a full Trial Deck: Star-vader Invasion is the most logical step, as it provides a cohesive strategy and the necessary grade 0 to grade 3 units to begin playing. This deck is specifically designed to be functional right out of the box, offering a clear path to understanding how the clan operates.

However, if you already own the base deck and wish to increase its power level, you should focus on the Singles section. Look for cards that synergize with the Break Ride mechanic, particularly units that can facilitate multiple Locks in a single turn. Integrating these cards into your deck will allow you to transition from a basic setup to a competitive Link Joker vanguard. Additionally, some players may want to look into other expansions such as Booster Boxes to find further support for the Star-vader archetype and expand their tactical options.
