[Weekly Bits] August 30, 2016

Is it Bits? Bites? Bytes? I don’t know anymore

Ergasia Idea-drone
“The god’s long-held desire. They bring it about, the loyal pawns.”
Gear Chronicle – Gear Colossus
AUTO V/R: When this unit’s attack hits a vanguard, if you have a <Gear Colossus> on your V, draw 1 card, choose 1 card from your hand, and bind it face up. (This also includes the heart card’s race)
AUTO GB1: [CB1] When this unit is put into the bind zone from the drop zone, you may pay the cost. If you do, search your deck for up to 1 card, bind it face up, and shuffle your deck.

Anarchia Idea-drone
[that sure is some flavor text]
Gear Chronicle – Gear Colossus
ACT R: [Choose 1 <Gear Colossus> from both your drop zone and soul, return them to the deck, return this unit to the deck] Shuffle the deck, look at 3 cards from the top of your deck, add 1 to your hand, put 1 in your soul, and bind 1 face up.

[Dissipation] Idea-drone (TL note: katakana is shaanomai, which doesn’t seem to give any results at present)
[why do you test me with this flavor text bushiroad]
CONT: Sentinel
AUTO: [CB1] When this unit is placed on G from your hand, if you have a <Gear Colossus> vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, call 5 cards from the top of your deck to G. Then, you may choose 2 of the guardians called with this effect, and bind them face up. If you do, CC1, and this unit gets Shield +5000 until end of battle.

Deus Ex Machina, Demiurgos
“The god clears away suffering. As the freedomless, joyful future decrees.”
Gear Chronicle – Gear Colossus
Stride
ACT V: [Choose 12 face-up <Zodiac Time Beast> in your bind zone with different card names, and put them in your drop zone] Choose 12 cards from your drop zone, put them on the top of your deck in any order, and this unit gets “AUTO V: When this unit attacks, until end of battle, your opponent cannot call grade 1 or higher units from their hand to G.” until end of turn.

This may be old news now, but the following cards/themes are confirmed to be getting powerups in G-BT09:
– Vanquisher (Narukami)
– Thavas (Aqua Force)
– Rising (Spike Brothers)
– Descendant (Narukami)

As for the upcoming trial deck, roughly “Ritual of Dragon Magic”, the following 3 cards will be included as promos with RRR foiling (these cards are Japan only and only for their Special Set Trial Deck that also comes with sleeves):
– Dark Knight, Ludvik (FC G-Guard)
– Dark Night Maiden, Macha (Grade 2 from Legend Deck The Dark)
– Dragon-Carved Mage, Cian (new card) (TL note: the “carve” kanji can also mean “time” and a number of other things, so that part of the name will become clearer as the lore around these new Shadow Paladins is released.)
