- Deck Build Rules:
  • Players may choose to construct their deck using solely the Cardfight!! Vanguard Collaboration set, or integrate cards from this set with those of other sets, adhering to a one-class restriction.
  • Regarding deck building rulings for Triggers: Triggers placed in your Vanguard collaboration deck must correspond to your leader's class (e.g., Swordcraft for Aichi, Abysscraft for Ren). Consequently, you are limited to a maximum of 12 trigger cards per deck in Evolve.
  • Starter Amulet Requirement: When utilizing the Vanguard collaboration deck, inclusion of 1 Starter Amulet is mandatory.  Before commencing a battle, you are required to place 1 Starter Amulet face down from your deck onto your field. Upon the battle's initiation, you then reveal it by flipping it face up.
  • Drive Point/Ride: Drive Point is a card designated for inclusion in your Evolve deck, with a maximum allowance of 10 (similar to Carrots in Umamusume). Specific followers possess the Ride ability, allowing them to acquire a Drive Point for 1 Play Point, facilitating a Drive Check and granting them Rush.
  • Single Drive/Twin Drive: Both of these terms represent Keywords (akin to Rush/Storm/Ward), whereby when a follower with this ability attacks, the top card of the deck is revealed. If utilizing the Cardfight!! Vanguard collaboration deck, triggering a trigger card activates its effect.
- Collaboration's Gimmicks:
  • Star Amulet
  • Trigger
  • Single and Twin Drive
  • Ride
- Trigger: Activate 'Drive' to reveal the top card of your deck. If it is not a Trigger, return it to the bottom of your deck. However, if it is a Trigger card and you are utilizing the Vanguard collaboration deck, you have the option to activate its Trigger effect and send the card to the graveyard. (Please note that Triggers do not activate in non-Vanguard decks.)
