Opus XIV : Crystal Abyss Prerelease Kit

The Opus XIV : Crystal Abyss Prerelease Kit has been revealed. With The Emperor on the box, this will be our first taste at playing a game with these cards. Due to come out on July, 31st 2021.

The Kit contains 9 packs, the new standard for these Prerelease Kits. The Tifa Promo card, and the sleeves. I thought it was Warmech, but on closer inspection it looks like it might be Omega Weapon. The Omega on his chest and arm gives it away. Either way the artwork looks amazing.

On to the card.

Tifa – Avalanche Operative
Forward
2CP – Fire/Earth
5000 Power

“When Tifa enters the field, you may search for 1 Card Name Cloud and add it to your hand.

When a Forward other than Tifa you control attacks, it gains +1000 power until the end of the turn.

Damage 6 – When Tifa enters the field, you may play 1 Category VII Character from your hand onto the field.”

Either of the 2 Clouds from Opus XI, will work great here, and at Damage 6, Sephiroth (11-130L) will be a great card to play.

But, the question is is it worth playing this Tifa over the Opus XI Tifa (11-071L)?

Pardon Our Dust

Card of the Week is coming out nicely. As you can see we just posted Behemoth K, who is might be the strongest forward this set. But, you can read about that on the article.

Just wanted to let you all know that we’ll be trying to clean this site up a little bit. Instead of having a page for a single card, and then another page for the foil version, we are going to try and figure out how to put them on the same page, and you can just click to purchase which version you would like. If anyone wants to help, I can use it.

We’re also going to be posting sealed product soon. Booster Boxes, Pre-Release Kits, Sleeves and Starter Sets. Look for that to show up soon, along with the Opus I singles.

We’ll be deleting the Foil cards, and if you need one, just drop us an e-mail and we’ll see if it’s available. I believe that is all for the moment.

Special K

Our card of the week, this week is a Behemoth. I can just say add this to any deck and you have a much better chance of winning.

The Lightning Legend, Behemoth K.

5CP/Lightning
Forward
Job : Sage of Hess
Category : FFBE
9000 Power
Legend

I would say that 5CP is a cheap price to pay to play this card.

“When Behemoth K is chosen by a Forward’s ability, break that Forward.

When Behemoth K attacks, Behemoth K gains +3000 power until the end of the turn. Behemoth K deals your opponent 1 point of damage.

Damage 5 ― Behemoth K gains Haste and “When Behemoth K is blocked, Behemoth K deals your opponent 1 point of damage.””

The plan is to close your eyes. Grab 47 random Lightning cards, and you are set.

I could end the article right there, but we might as well talk a little more about this card.

Behemoth K, Is a great card, but gets even better after you’re at 5 points of Damage. With Haste and the ability to deal your opponent 2 points of Damage per turn is just a terrible experience for your opponent. You on the other hand will be loving every minute of it. It’ll probably be just a minute anyway.

Now, we’ll need to search for Behemoth K, and there’s no one better than Aldo (10-086C) who will search for a Lightning forward. Not only will Aldo let you search for Behemoth K, but also for Illua (5-099H). and, everybody loves Illua. And, you can’t forget about Estinien (6-088L). Behemoth K and Estinien is like having Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage on a tag team. Wait, they were a tag team. The Mega Powers.

Sage (1-133C) is also a good choice to be able to grab Behemoth K from the Break Zone. And Lulu (1-150R) to add 1K power to all the Lightning Forwards.

You can probably add Kunshira (13-114H) to the Mix and have a Forward that will be able to attack twice per turn in the early game. Since Kunshira is a multi-element card you’ll need to add some wind cards to your deck. Just grab those staples and you’ll be all right.

Any ideas on what to pair Behemoth K with? Tell us in the comment section.

The Leo King

Here come the King. King Leo, or just Leo as the text says on the card. Hailing from Crystal Chronicles. Kind of gives you an idea on what to play.

On to the Stats.

1CP/Earth
Forward
Job : King
Category : FFCC
3000 Power
Legend

At 1CP, you should be able to play Leo whenever you need to.

“When Leo enters the field, place 1 Kingdom Counter on Leo for each Category FFCC Character you control.

(1)(D), remove X Kingdom Counters from Leo, Choose 1 Forward other than Card Name Leo, Light or Dark in your Break Zone. If its cost is X, play it onto the field. You can only use this ability during your turn and only once per turn.”

The plan would be to play Leo, give him Haste, and have him play the card from the Break Zone onto the field. But, you’ll need to make sure you have enough Category FFCC Characters on the field.

Then attack with Leo for an easy break, and replay him to get another big body on the field. As long as it’s not Leo, or a Light or Dark card, you can play anything you want. Bhunivelze (13-062H) comes to mind right away. Feolthanos (10-098L), Behemoth K (13-079L) are both good choices as well. And if you can get some of these cards on back to back turns, you are very likely to be in a good position.

Now, what are some good FFCC cards to pair with Leo?

Let’s find some searchers. Epitav (6-067R) and Kolka (7-069C) will both let you search for Leo. While Luminous Puma (8-080C) will allow you to grab Leo from the Break Zone. You might as well grab Larkeicus (9-076H) to be able to grab Luminous Puma from the Break Zone or to search for him.

And, since Luminous Puma is a 5 cost, might as well add Mira (4-137L) to the mix. And when Luminous Puma is put from the field into the Break Zone, you can search for a Luminous Puma and add it to your hand. You can add all sorts of Monsters. Especially ones that turn into Forwards.

Now, I think it would be a great idea to play Tyro ((11-072R), as he can also search for Leo, but he will also allow you to dull for any color CP. Allowing you to play any element that you’d like. As all the FFCC Forwards are different elements, this will allow you to bring all the Crystal Chronicles characters into the game for Leo to use his ability. Go ahead and play that Yuri/Chelinka Combo from Opus VII.

You might also want to add Sara (13-093H) to the mix as she will allow you to search for royalty.

Do you think Leo will survive the Opus, and be a card worth playing? Let us know in the comments.

Site Update – 007

Well, it’s been a while since I wrote a Site Update. So, much has been going on all around and with the delays and everything in product, I was just trying to focus on posting all the cards. And, we are almost done with that. All that we have left is Opus I. After that we’ll be adding the sealed product. Booster Boxes, Starter Decks, Pre-Release Kits, and Sleeves.

You might also have noticed that we started doing a Card of the Week, where we pick one card and talk about it. Either give you a complete deck or a basic idea on how to incorporate it into your own deck. Which cards they pair well with and what not. Next week the Card of the Week will be Leo (13-067L).

Stay Tuned.
