Indonesia (or at least where I play)
most Indonesian player play English version, but don't get me wrong many people play japan version too but at my local we got official tournament from bushiroad and the promo card for it is English PR and we can only use a deck consist of English deck to play.
for format and deck variety, we got plenty deck variety so it's not so boring to play, well at least here at my local. we got:
- RP (MLB, Galahad, ETB/Pendragon), GP, OTT (coco, amaterasu, tsuku), Shadow, Angel feather (shamsiel, metatron),
- Kagero (lawkeeper, dote), Narukami, murakumo, tachikaze
- Aqua force(Maelstorm, hydro) Granblue, Bermuda
- Great nature(leopald [I think i even saw a polaris build this week]) Neo Nectar (Arboros, Musketeer)
- DI (NLF/Vampire, Amon, Reijy), Spikebro, Palemoon
- nova (ashura, illuminal, raizer) dimpol (daiyusha, zeal)
I will admit gold paladin and narukami still popular but even with the same clan we still got many deckstyle. For GP we got agravain, spectral duke, pelinore, garmore and ezel and even for narukami players I must admit vermilion is the boss of narukami clan here, but dungaree and rumble gun still have their player too :D so pretty much we got everything here (grated most of them are DDR - i will post another entry about DDR).
We got many kids playing this game too here in Indonesia (at least my local), i hear you cry "A children playing a children card game? preposterous, what blasphemy is this !?" calm down, i have a reason why even so many kids play this game it's because of the basic nature of this game "LUCK SACK" if you haven't notice even a kid can win this game from a pro. Keep in mind I only mention in luck point of view, I believe skill still needed but i won't be so naive and said "only skillful player can win !" what if you misgrade or your opponent get triggers single time ?
The price for cardfight vanguard is not that expensive compare to other card games here, you can spend half from a meta-expensive-super-awesome-deck and you can still competitive (in my humble opinion) and to "boost" my statement most of the decks i knew (English format) would not cost more than 2.000.000 IDR (around 200$) and most of them only cost like 1.500.000 IDR (around 150$). I know it's a lot of money for a card game but, hey nobody forcing you to play an expensive deck you can start by a budget deck.
Well i think that's all for now.
