However some stalling decks are successful due to easy access to natural rear guard restands or calls, or a simply strong push early game. However, stalling too long may cause the stalled opponent to catch up or punish them with an alternative way such as Air Element, Twitterun or Air Element, Seabreeze or to simply use a Vanguard that works without Stride.

The reason many stall is to do one of two things, either prevent the opponent from being the first to Stride or Legion, or to prevent them from performing Stride or Legion at all. Stalling, the act of not riding to the next Grade, is something that is often frowned upon in the community.For Premium players, this means that if you want to use Stand triggers, you will have to weigh the options against using it. Instead, they had retooled it into Front triggers, which upon activating will give 10,000 Power to the entire front row. Starting from V-era onward though, Bushiroad had decided to take care of the issues Stand triggers have been causing on both ends.With these Stand Triggers though, several decks, most notably decks that can manipulate the deck in some way, found loops to allow players to either gain near unlimited power, an extremely high number of attacks in one turn, or both. This was done to encourage players to use Stand Triggers in their decks as many neglected to use them in favor of more Critical Triggers. Starting from the Vanguard G Era (and arguably during the Legion Mate Era), many Stand triggers were designed to have effects, most notably to return that card back to the deck. A common trend recently seems to be related to incredibly strong Stand Trigger loops.A player in this case needs to be more aware as any triggers the Vanguard may have had go away as the Vanguard is a new unit. Note that some of these 'restanders' do not restand at all but instead re-ride the unit, and unless it specifically says so, the Vanguard is ridden as standing, giving you a fresh new unit ready to attack.The 'drawback' to these cards are typically at a high cost, mainly discarding roughly two to three cards from your hand depending on the unit, but players usually toss out cards they will not need later. Often these attacks are powerful enough you need a perfect guard to stop it, and that won't help if you only have one at the ready and your opponent can hit you twice, either time with more critical. Not only does this give you another attack, but it gives you more trigger checks as well, which means the potential for more damage. Restanding your vanguard is an extremely powerful ability a decent chunk of all the restricted cards are one that either restand themselves or facilitate restanding your vanguard.And because overDress is based on the Nations rather than the individual clans formats going forward will be based on this. In January 19th, 2021, Bushiroad revealed Cardfight Vanguard: overDress, rotating out the V Series.G Format: A transitional format where everything up to Vanguard G's final set is playable.

Premium: A legacy format, every card is legal.

Playable cards are denoted by the V icon next to the card code.

Standard: A modern format starting from V-BT01 and the first two Starter Decks of the reboot.

As such, they have developed new Fight Formats (note that these follow Clan Fight rulings):

In March 13th, 2018, Bushiroad has decided to reboot the entire game, not only sending the anime back to its origin, but having the game follow suit.

To expand on Extreme Fight, ever since Legion Mate, effects on units no longer specify clans unless the card is a reprint, thus it's easier to manage multi-clan decks.

Extreme Fight is meant to be a Game Breaker and throws any restrictions out the window, most notably clan restrictions allowing for multi-clan decks.

G-Regulation is like clan fight but restricts all decks to any cards with its nation's flag (or any card that has been reprinted with its nation's flag), basically any card that has been released in the Vanguard G era.
