“The Water Forwards you control gain +1000 power.”
I like these cards that buff you elemental Forwards by +1K. 90% of the time, if I’m building a deck, these cards are in there. At least one copy.
But, preferably 3.

“When Wakka attacks, choose 1 Forward you control. Until the end of the turn, it gains +1000 power for each Forward you control.
Status Reels (S)(Wa): Choose 1 Forward. Until the end of the turn, it loses all its abilities and its power becomes 1000.”
Attack and Buff at the same time.
And, this one isn’t just a measly +1000 power, not saying that +1000 isn’t good, it’s +1000 power for each Forward you control. So you can take that Tidus (1-163L) and buff him by as many Forwards times two. And, if you have your back up against the wall, Tidus will do what he’s supposed to with Blitz Ace.
But, wait I thought we were talking about Wakka.

“(D): Choose 1 Category X Forward you control. It gains +1000 power until the end of the turn.”
Compared to the other Wakka’s this one just isn’t cutting it.
I wouldn’t use this one, when you have so many other choices.

“You can remove 3 Reel Counters from Wakka to use Wakka’s special ability without paying the cost.
When Wakka or a Category X Forward enters your field, place 1 Reel Counter on Wakka.
Aurochs Spirit (S)(Wa): Choose 1 Forward. It loses all abilities until the end of the turn. Break it.”
Let’s see what we wrote when Emissaries of Light came out.
“I don’t know. I still think the Opus I Wakka was the best one. Same can be said about Shantotto.
But, being able to Break a Forward for a couple of Reel counters isn’t too shabby.”
The question is, how many FFX Characters can you get on to the field, and how fast can you get them on the field. Remember each one gives Wakka a Reel Counter, and with 3 of those counters, you can break one of your opponents Forwards.
Bring on the Aurochs!!

“EX BURST When Wakka enters the field, reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. Add 1 Water or Category X card among them to your hand and return the other cards to the bottom of your deck in any order.”
Resurgence of Power came out less than a year ago, and this is what we had then …
“A backup to play if you’re playing a FFX themed deck, or mostly Water.
Wakka let’s you reveal the top 3 cards of your deck and hopefully you’ll grab a card. There’s a good chance you will if you’re playing this Wakka.
This ability also comes off an EX Burst so there’s that as well.
But, from the 4 other Wakka’s available, 3 of them are better than this one.
Prove me wrong.”
Well, we can’t say we were wrong. I still stand by that.
But Mono-Water/X with the Dawn of Heroes Yuna, and Emissaries of Light Tidus,it might be worth having this Wakka on board.

“The cost required to cast Wakka is reduced by 1 for each Backup you control.
When Wakka attacks, you may put 1 Backup you control into the Break Zone. When you do so, choose 1 Forward. Deal it 8000 damage.”
Dawn of Heroes, is more like Dusk of Heroes since Beyond Destiny is right around the corner.
“Well, at least we figured out what to do with all those free Backups that we were getting.
You now have a way to use them as fodder for Wakka when he goes into attack mode.
Every time Wakka attacks, he grabs a Backup and throws it like a Blitzball at one of your opponents Forwards for 8000 damage.
Sure 7CP might be a bit much to play Wakka, but it is reduced by 1 for each Backup that you have on the field.
You should be only paying 2CP to get Wakka on the field. Maybe a little bit more.
“Wakka, wakka, wakka”
We’re just going to keep that like that.
“Wakka, wakka, wakka”
