Yang Fang Leiden

Level-headed monk with an indomitable will.

A monk and squadron leader from the kingdom of Fabul. He is the strongest monk in his nation and possesses a polite personality, making him quite popular among his people. Yang is attacked by monsters while training on Mt. Hobs and is saved by Ceil’s party. He joins them after learning that his country’s crystal is in danger. After the battle for the Wind Crystal, Yang continues to adventure with Cecil’s party and helps them overcome innumerable hardships. Yang’s personality is both serious and strict, but he is no match for his short-tempered wife.

-Taken from the Ultimania

After much training and trying to dodge his wife’s frying pan, Yang is ready for your decks.

Looking for Yang.?

2-090R – Yang

Yang, an 8000 power Forward that will gain more power with each additional Monk that is on the field. From Backups to Standard Units, you name it. Each Monk gives Yang +1000 power. And, if Yang’s power becomes more than 10,000 Yang will also gain Brave.

Sure, the 5CP you need to play Yang is a bit high, but you’ll be getting a nearly unstoppable Forward that will be wheeling and dealing damage throughout the entire game.

Simply put, just add Monks.

“Uhh…is it time for training already? Let me sleep a little longer.”

2-091C – Yang

The second Yang from Opus II.

This Yang plays like the other Yang, but slightly different.

If there is another Monk, Yang gains 2000 power and Brave. And, that’s it.

Yes, you can only raise Yang’s power once by 2000, but this Yang only costs 2CP compared to the 5CP of the Rare Yang.

Is this better?

Probably not, you’ll much rather spend an extra 3CP to play the other Yang.

“I see. Then I will most humbly accept whatever help you are willing to provide.”

3-095R – Yang

This is more like it.

Yang gains +1K and Brave if you control Ursula. Who’s Ursula? Yang’s daughter, but you’ll only see her in The After Years. Or was she a baby during the events of Final Fantasy IV?

Nope, she is first seen during Final Fantasy IV Interlude. But, we’re not here to talk about that.

When Yang enters the field, you can play Ursula from your hand on to the field. You’ll probably want to grab Ursula (11-064L) which will allow you to grab a 2 cost Monk from your Break Zone and play it onto the field. If you get lucky on turn 1, you can have 3 cards on the field for a whopping 4CP.

Then there’s Kick. Yang’s ability from Final Fantasy IV, where Yang does a Flying Kick to all the enemies, dealing them all damage which equals to half of Yang’s power.

This might be your starting point for a Monk’s deck.

“Ooh, time for training!”

5-095H – Yang

5CP for Hero Yang.

This time if you control 5 or more Earth Characters Yang gains +1ooo power and Brave. This is already not as good as the previous Yangs that we have seen.

The only saving grace to this card is that Yang cannot become dull by your opponent’s Summons of abilities.

Other than that, Yang is just a glorified Meat Shield.

With Brave.

“It has been an honor fighting with you.”

9-075R – Yang

Yang comes on and gives another Forward +2000 power and Brave. If that Forward is a Monk, it will also deal damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards equal to that Monk’s power.

After that Yang once again stays on the front line as a Meat Shield.

At least the artwork is good on this card.

Other than that, you’ll probably want to save that 4CP, and play something else.

“Achoooooooooooooo!”

13-064R – Yang

“If you’re playing Mon…. I already said that. Yang will give your Monks a boost.

High powered Forwards with Brave. Add Enna Kros (1-095R) and they will have an extra 1K.

I saw that Monks already took first place, and Yang was a part of that. ”

That’s what I wrote when Opus XIII came out.

At 1 point of damage Yang comes in, and you play a Monk from your hand. Which could be Ursula as we mentioned before, letting you grab a Monk from the Break Zone and playing it onto the field.

At 3 points of damage, Yang gives all the Monks +1000 power and Brave, making them all unstoppable .. Almost unstoppable.

“Lure the enemies here, then… Smash ’em!”

Where’s Yang?

Edward Chris von Muir

The Sensitive prince gaining courage on his journey.

The Damcyan prince who prefers music to conflict. In the guise of a minstrel, Edward wanders from land to land. After meeting Tellah’s daughter Anna, he falls in love with her. Edward brings the girl back to his homeland, but loses her during the Baron army’s attack on Damcyan Castle. Lost in grief, Edward is unable to take action. Cecil reproaches him, inspiring Edward to join the Dark night on his quest. Edward finds courage on the journey, gradually shedding hi weaknesses and becoming a man unafraid to save his comrades

-Taken from the Ultimania

I remember I would just have Edward sing for every battle. Other than that he would just hide and let Cecil take care of everything. Let’s take a look at the cards throughout every Opus.

Looking for Edward?

2-030H – Edward

Well, I can see why no one uses this card anymore.

At 4CP Edward is a Backup that does nothing when he enters the field. His only saving grace is that you can dull a Forward for 2CP, and you can’t even use this ability when he enters the field.

Sure, you can constantly use his ability every turn to try and keep one of your opponent’s Forwards dull throughout the game, but there are much better options and hopefully much better Edwards.

This card is also a Hero.

“Anna, my love I … I will try. But, what would you have me do?”

2-031C – Edward

See, after reading the previous Edward, and now this one, I have to say that this one, the Common card of the two is a whole lot better than the Hero.

Why?

Because this Edward actually does something.

All the Forwards lose Haste for as long as Edward is on the field. No Forwards can gain Haste either.

Which stops all of the Haste Forwards from attacking as soon as they enter the field.

Now if Edward had a little bit more power, this card would have been fantastic.

But, Edward is still a blocker that can block any attack.

“I am the only one… the only one that can save them!”

3-029R – Edward

This is a little better.

The King of Damcyan. This is the only card that has that as his Job. There’s one more that just says King, and all the other’s say Bard.

At 3CP, Edward doesn’t do much, but he does have a couple of decent abilities.

The first ability makes your opponent discard a card from their hand. Which is good. Are you playing a discard deck? Edward will fit right in.

The second ability, won’t have much use, but it’s still there. Escape. It should have been called Hide.

Hide … I mean Escape just makes Edward invincible to your opponent’s Summon or abilities that choose him. But, there aren’t that many abilities that choose Backups, so this might not be as good as we originally thought it would be.

“Tell me you will not let your land suffer the same fate as ours.”

5-031H – Edward

Another 3 cost Backup.

This time Edward comes in and your opponent discards a card from their hand.

That is your instant gratification.

After that Edward is just itching to play his Harp, with his new hit single “Silent Verse”.

Silent Verse will cancel one of your opponent’s Summons.

This is still a good card to have on hand.

“Please! Listen!”

11-028R – Edward

Imagine your opponent having to discard a card every time he breaks one of your Forwards.

This is exactly what Edward’s ability will do.

Your opponent will discard a card, if they Break one of your Forwards during their Attack Phase.

One way around this is if they have no cards in hand during their Attack Phase, but that will leave them vulnerable during your turn, as they won’t have anyway to cast a Summon or pay for abilities.

Leaving you free to do whatever you want, with little to no defense on your opponent’s part.

This is one of the better Edwards if you ask me.

“You’re right. I’m nothing but a coward, just as you say. That’s why I’m just going to stay at Anna’s side. It doesn’t matter anymore … Nothing does!”

17-025C – Edward

If you always wanted to remove a card from your opponent’s Break Zone Edward here can help you.

For the cost of 2CP, you will receive a Backup that once per turn can Remove a card from the Break Zone. And that’s the best part. It’s once per turn. Not put Edwards into the Break Zone. Meaning you can use and reuse Edward’s ability as much as you’d like.

And, if you don’t need use it, you can always just dull Edward for CP.

Either way it’s a win win.

“I see… Sadly, I’m afraid I can’t let you have my Crystal.”

20-026C – Edward EX

The Spoony Bard is back again, as a Backup.

And with his trusty harp, he will take a dull Forward, and break it.

As long as your opponent has 2 Dull Forwards on the field, that is.

For 2CP, I’d say this is a good deal.

“There’s nothing to fear. Antlions are quite docile. They won’t attack humans.”

 

Where’s Edward?
