Or you could just use Cron... Should go well in pulling out your Manawydan or Sagramore G3.

Or you could wait for Set 7 and use Spring Breeze.

I'd opt for the last option once its out. Since its at least a 5K boost.

I thought this game was balanced, but now everyone's just bandwagoning onto Gold Paladins now that Royal Paladins kicked the curb.

I mean, just because Barcgal gets RESTRICTED (!= banned, which is a misconception every RP fanatic has) from being a Starter, everyone assumes RP is dead.

Oh my god, what the hell travesty am I reading? Cheap? CHEAP? Spike Brothers is cheap, and it's an effective as hell. 4 Perfect Guards (you run less than 4, you're a moron) in GP is about $100 total, CHEAPEST. An Ezel is say $20 a piece. Viviane is $15. Garmore is about $12. And this is just making an effective GP deck. On a budget deck, which consists of Spectral Duke, that's $20 a piece plus Garmores. And you still use Vivianes.

Also, all I'm reading is just GP fandom support. GPs aren't flexible at all. You want flexible? Granblue is flexible. GP pretty much has "Look, you're either going Garmore/Ezel or you 'save' money with Spectral Duke. Your choice." The only reason why people are using GPs is because RPs aren't running well ATM until Majesty Lord Blaster comes out, but even without Barcgal, RPs are still flexible. Don't believe me? Look at VMundi.

Seriously, GPs aren't cheap. I don't know what sites your looking at, but with the way things are now, GPs are running as close as OTTs in terms of price. And OTTs are expensive.

Its all about preference. However, they are a big staple in English and especially Japanese format, and can never, ever go wrong with four. I am not saying you are wrong, just the statement of less than 4 being "stupid" could have been a bit re-phrased.
