Vanguard Posts... and Yu-Gi-Oh Format Analysis

From lack of viewership I can see you all dislike Cardfight Vanguard Posts. I did give you proper warning though a month ago. I will still do Yu-Gi-Oh posts I just don't have anything Yu-Gi-Oh related to post on except that:

This Format is dumb and brings in a ton of variety in decklists but leaves the overall power level too high.
(Top 16 of Philadelphia):
Dino Rabbit
Dark World
Chaos Dragons
Inzektor
Wind-Ups
Final Countdown


Of those decks though the ones that have the most behind them are Chaos Dragons and Dino Rabbit considering the ENTIRE TOP 8 of Philadelphia was Dino Rabbit and Chaos Dragons.

Top 16 though had even more Dino Rabbit and Chaos Dragon but included 1 Dark World, 1 Wind-up, 1 Inzektor, and 1 Final Countdown deck...

Imagine this scenario though what if more players shifted over to Chaos Dragon instead of Dino Rabbit due to the results of this tourney. Less Dino Rabbit means less free wins for Chaos Dragon and more wins for Inzektor. Wind-up are still Borderline Tier even with less Dino Rabbit. Dark World also stay Borderline. Final Countdown though would still rarely show up due to how that deck works.

These aren't of course the Tier 1 decks but I can list them for ya.

Due to sheer popularity and top 16's (Using Pokemon Terminology) From March 1st Onwards
OU:
Dino Rabbit
Chaos Dragon
Inzektor

BL:
Wind-up
Dark World
HERO

UU:
Final Countdown
Chain Burn
Six Samurai
Chaos Piper
Twilight/Lightsworn

NU:
Everything else

This list is built not by Tiers but by usage statistics.
OU = Overused
BL = Borderline
UU = Underused
NU  = Neverused

More in depth analysis of the match-ups will come at a later time.

    1. It's for TCG. Machina Gadgets haven't done anything in TCG this format. If I did this for OCG you'd see them for sure.
