We have our first Summon for Card of the Week. One from FF XII, Can’t say I used this summon in the game, as for some reason I couldn’t get into the game.

Summon
“EX BURST Choose up to 1 Forward from your Break Zone of cost equal to or less than the damage you have been dealt. Return it to your hand. Your opponent selects 1 Forward of cost equal to or less than the damage you have been dealt and puts it into the Break Zone.”
Technically, I don’t think this is a very good card. So, why did we pick it? Because it’s the card that came out when we pulled it out of a hat. (It was a nice hat, I’ll tell you that).
Unless, you’re counting on Zeromus to pop up from an EX Burst, there are better plays to grab a Forward from your Break Zone.
Let’s say for the sake of this article, that you are planning on using Zeromus strictly as an EX burst. Is there a way to get him to the top of your deck?
Keiss (12-095R) will allow you to look at the top card, doesn’t exactly help you, but you know which card is there. Wrieg (11-081C) reveals the top card, and that’s about it your opponent sees what is there, and decides on what to do accordingly.
Leviathan (10-125H) is the card you are looking for. Draw 2 and then put 1 card from your hand at the top or bottom of your deck. It’s as simple as that, or any EX Burst that you want to use. Your opponent attacks, and then you get to cast a summon. You cast Leviathan, assuming you already have Zeromus in your hand, you will just place him at the top of your deck to be played as an EX Burst when your opponent deals you Damage.
Now, to search for Zeromus, you can either use Vermilion Bird l’CIe Caetuna (13-008R) which allows you to search for 2 Summons. Eiko (8-112R) and Rydia (3-096R) let’s you search for 1 Summon. And, I believe we will go with Eiko and Rydia.
