Speculations: Aurageyser Damned

So GBT04 is about a month or so away, so time to speculate a little what might appear. Today I am gonna speculate what Aurageyser Damned might be:



Supremacy Black Dragon, Aurageyser Damned

Stride (Released when both players' vanguards are grade 3 or greater!)-Stride Step-[Choose one or more cards with the sum of their grades being 3 or greater from your hand, and discard them] Stride this card on your (VC) from face down.

[AUTO](VC):[Counter Blast (2) & Choose a face down card named "Supremacy Black Dragon, Aurageyser Damned" from your G zone, and turn it face up & choose three of your rear-guards, and retire them] When this unit attacks a vanguard, and you have a heart with "Claret Sword" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, search for up to two of grade one and below from deck and call to (RC), those units get [Power] +2000 until end of turn, this unit gets [Power] +5000 for each face up card in your G zone, and the number of face up cards in your G zone is two or more this unit gets [Critical]+1 until end of that battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So how did I came to this? As we have seen from GBT03, G-SP have this thing for calling G1 and obsession with making 21k columns (night sky eagle op). Their main bosses also use retire as a cost, and usually have a critical in the middle column accompanied by huge power spikes (claret's GB2, Diablo), and i feel double crit VG suits SP in general better than restanding (Don't want to give competitive SP a restander stride) or guard restrictions (already have PBD breakride and Diablo).



Also since we no longer want the give revengers anymore op strides, so hence the 'claret sword' heart requirement, which goes in line with strides like 'nextstage' that are also going to be out in the same booster. The cost of the ability is rather simple: u swing with a RG column (hopefully with david), then retire it for cost and call a new column. The 2 CB is reasonably considering you are calling 2 cards from deck, and its very easy to make columns with this effect (eagle + anything, 10k attacker + any 7k), but you might lose a 5k intercept if you retire a G2. The full turn will take about 3 CB with claret sword, so it is quite 'fair' and cost heavy.

Is it weak to a PG? Not really, as the entire turn is VERY demanding to guard (up to three 21k column, excluding triggers), and that's assuming opponent has a PG (god have mercy on his soul if he does not) since you are expecting at least 2-3 faceup g-zone (aurageyser into this) which translate to a 41k stride with 2 crit attacking without a booster, a whooping 35k shields for 1, 40k shields for 2. You literally will bleed him of cards on the turn you stride this, which fits into how G-SP try to overpower opponents stride after stride.
