To be honest, I think that the impact of bluffing is something that Vanguard lacks. I believe probably because there aren't any options to respond to an opponent's moves. In other games, cards can be countered, so players will often have to be more careful when playing cards, as their opponent may have a counter. Really the only thing that there is to bluff in this game is what you can guard with and also don't let your opponent suspect when you're missing a grade, as they then will know to overwhelm you from the start.
The key to most decisions in Vanguard is determining whether or not you will try and end it on that turn, and if you suspect that you can't, then can you guard in order to potentially finish it on the next turn. So basically, if you think you will lose then you don't want your opponent to see it and hope they will hold back to protect their-self on the turn. Unfortunately, due to triggers being revealed, you will usually know what they have and can calculate what they can defend with.
While I've never been very good at bluffing or reading bluffs myself, I feel like bluffing and responding is something that this game lacks, and that could make it better.
