Golbez is up next as our card of the week. We skipped a couple of the Opus XIII Legends, because well, Llednar you can just look at Shara, and Spiritus and Materia, well I believe the review we did for them was enough.
Golbez here is ready to take you on with help of the Archfiends, because it’s not worth playing this if you aren’t playing with Archfiends, with your back against the wall.
On to the card
5CP – Lightning/Wind
Forward
Job : Warlock
Category : LOV – IV
Legend
9000 Power
“EX BURST When Golbez enters the field, you may search for 1 card of cost 2 and add it to your hand.
Damage 6 ― When Golbez enters the field, you may search for up to 3 cards of cost 2 and add them to your hand. Then, you may play any number of Job Archfiend from your hand onto the field.”
5 cost, but you get to search for a card. End of the day you’re only paying 3CP for 9K. Which is pretty good. And at 6 Damage, you’re actually up 3CP.
The plan is to flood the board with the 4 Archfiends with your back against the wall, hoping that it’s enough to take down your opponent. Just grab the 4 Archfiends from Opus XIII and call it a day. They are all 2CP of different elements and they all come with some great abilities to slowly pick apart your opponent.
Ideally you would want to play Cagnazzo first, in order for him to get the Water Counters, then you would play Scarmiglione, for next damage dealt is double to one forward. Rubicante to deal that forward a minimum of 10K. And finally Barbaricia to deal 8K to one Forward since you’ll have a total of four Archfiends on the board.
Now, there’s more to it than just Archfiends. You can search for any card 2 cost card. Rikku (2-071R) is a good choice, a good backup to activate all your forwards right before you end your turn so that they can block. Lightning (5-116H) comes in with Haste and leaves the field at the end of the turn. Luso (9-058L), cheap 2CP/5K body that gets stronger for each Forward you have on the field. And if all 4 Archfiends just came in, that’s +5K including Golbez. Kunshira (13-114H) cheap card to play with an amazing ability. Shikaree X (12-044R), Shikaree Y (12-045R), and Shikaree Z (12-046R) the trio from Opus XII, when played correctly can cause you opponent 3 point of Damage.
Then there is Mioune (5-067R) and Chocobo (10-055H), both will let you return Golbez to your hand, in order to play him once again at Damage 6 and search for 4 cards. Now imagine that you can grab up to 16 cards in one turn. Combine that with a Well timed Sheoll from Illua (5-099H), and I believe that you can clear the board and win the game in 1 turn. A little tweaking here and there, but it is possible.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
Let’s take a look
Looks like we’re playing with Final Fantasy Tactics. As we mentioned before, in the Water Review, about the little combo with Marach (13-080C). You will need to find a way to be able to splash different colors. I was more excited about this card when it was released, but now it seems like will work better in a theme deck. Which is not a bad thing. I have yet to look into new decks to see how this card is being used. My guess would be a Lightning/Water deck. Not only to play Marach, but you also get Ramza (13-121R). 
Hopefully, you’ll play him for 4CP and your opponent will break a forward and return one to his hand.
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.
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.
Tifa – Avalanche Operative
5CP/Lightning
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.
On to the Stats.
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.
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.
