You're better off 4 Goku. Having 4 Goku is one of the most effective english Kagero decks more so than Overlord. 11k defensive, but you can only get off with his effect once to twice per match, and 3CB just to lose Twin Drive and slaughter RGs with a possibility of being blocked to cancel the effect isn't as rational as, say, 1CB to kill a Grade 1 and Soulcharge, 2CB to kill a Grade 2-0, or Drive Check a Grade 3 to kill a Grade 1 Booster.

After that, Heat-Nail Salamander in BT04 is a more suitable replacement than Berserk because of the recycling effect with the ability to still kill boosters.

I'd say a more proper English deck pre-BT05 (I don't even want to acknowledge The End) is

4 Goku
4 Waterfall

While Goku is best Early Game, Waterfall can manage itself with a conditionless 13k offensive to Vanguard if you're forced to ride it Early Game. And it helps unclog your hand with the G3s you don't need once you Ride it Late Game.
Well Overlord isn't thought of as Main VG, but as mainly a RG since his skill can be activated as RG.

Almost done with my OTT Tsukuyomi deck. All I need for it is:

Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi x2
CEO Amaterasu
Silent Tom
Battle Sister, Chocolat (currently on its way to me.

It would be Evil Eye Princess Euryale, but Set 5 has yet to come out for english. And I'm getting at least 2 to replace an Amaterasu and a Full Moon Tsukuyomi.

I think Vanguard Rider has some Full Moon Tsukus. Pocketpulls has a Silent Tom for $16, and rhevenge has 3 of them. Otsu also has some Amaterasus if you have somethnig you can trade him with. And HerO has Chocolats for $12.

Well Overlord isn't thought of as Main VG, but as mainly a RG since his skill can be activated as RG.

But it's because that he is more of an RG that there really isn't a need to run 4 of him. The point I'm trying to make is that despite what it is, Overlord's skill really isn't that good and not something you should consider relying on. At least Goku can make Drive Checking more worth it when you get a G3.

I think I understand the benefit of Overlord a little more, but I still don't think that 4 is a must.

In my opinion running 4 means if Goku checks him, I get a benefit of him being there. Waterfall benefits of me throwing G3's for extra power. And with his 11k there isn't a Vanguard he currently cannot hit.

Also, I went to lolcals today, went 2-2 after a harsh battle for trying to reach Top 4. Pulled crap in my booster for being in it, though I did get something nice anyways.

Release dates for sets EB02 and beyond are getting pushed forward. Instead of Saturdays they're set to release internationally, they're now on Fridays. So instead of November 10, it's November 9.

Not much of an update if it's just a difference of a day...

My friend is buying me two boxes of Banquest of Divas in exchange for some of the toku stuff I bought him in Japan. Pretty pumped to finally be making a Bermuda Triangle deck

I'll have to wait with mine because I'm going to London at the end of November so all money is going there.
