Madison Comic Con 2022

Looks like we’ll be heading back to Wisconsin next month. We’ll have a table at the Madison Comic Con. All your Trading Card needs will be available. We’ll also bring along some other items that we think will get a good reaction from the attendees.

August 14th
10AM – 5PM

Monona Terrace Exhibit Hall
1 John Nolan Drive
Madison WI 53703

Adults are just $8 for a full day of fun, and kids 12 and under are FREE. But you don’t just get admission for that. Every person who attends Mighty Con gets a free comic book at the door to get their day started off right.

Sounds like a good deal to me. Plus, you get to come by and say Hi!

Volatile Spark

I can’t believe it’s Spoiler Season. I feel like I just finished doing my reviews for Emissaries of Light.

Well, I kinda did.

And, here I thought I would have a lot more free time now.

Anyways onto the card. From beneath the Shadows comes the Shadow Hunter. Or Noel, he’s gone Commando.

2CP – Wind
Forward
Job : Commando
Category : XIII
Legend
5000 Power

“When Noel attacks, you may remove Noel from the game. If you do so, at the beginning of your next Main Phase 1, play Noel onto the field

When Noel enters the field due to an ability of Card Name Noel, select 1 of the 3 following actions. “Choose 1 Character of cost 4 or more. Break it.” “Noel deals your opponent 1 point of damage” “Search for 1 Forward and add it to your hand”

Damage 3 – Noel gains Haste.”

As you can see, Noel is the Buy a Box Promo. A decent looking card, but what Noel does, is what we’re here for.

All you need to do is play Noel onto the field, and find a way to protect him. As he’ll be removing himself from the field and re-entering during your next Main Phase 1, and dealing your opponent 1 point of damage.

Now to get the full effect of this ability you would like to get yourself to 3 points of Damage as soon as possible. That way Noel will be able to attack from the get go. If not I’m sure there’s a Backup that will grant Noel Haste. Lightning (7-102R) will be a perfect choice. You’ll just Dull Lightning, every turn to give Noel Haste, and quickly attack and remove, for that 1 point of Damage during your next Main Phase.

Since we’re already going with Wind/Lightning, might as well add Kunshira to the list. And, that shall be the base of your Noel deck. Or, at least my deck.

What are you all planning to do with this card?

It’s all Gone

Maybe it’s time for a new Computer.

I was working on the Water reviews for a couple of days now, and apparently I didn’t save anything. Does anyone know if there’s a way to recover lost progress? Didn’t think so.

It almost reminds me of the joke with Jesus and the Devil. I should start saving more.

Now, let’s see.

We have the Army of One Tournament this Sunday @ Pescadon. We’re expecting lots of people. You read about the Prizes, soon you shall see them. I’ll take some pictures and post them up on Social Media later on today.

You should come out. Game Knight Chicago holds Pop-up Markets. There should be plenty of Vendors there, including us. We’ll have your FFTCG, your Pokemon, some MetaZoo, and other TCGs as well. Boxes, Packs, Decks, Singles, Sleeves, Toploaders and most of your TCG needs.

You’re right, Astral Radiance did come out last Friday. You might be wondering why they aren’t up on the site. It’s quite simple. We were already Sold Out, by Pre-Orders and what we needed to have on hand on June, 5th.

And the FFTCG Anniversary Collection has been delayed to June, 10th. I would reserve a copy. Just in Case. It always seems like I’ll either get more than I need or not enough.

Time to restart the Water Review.
