Cor, the Immortal

Cor, the Immortal, or so they call him. We do have two to choose from, so let’s get started.

2CP/Earth
Forward
Captain
Common

“If you control Card Name Regis, Cor gains +2000 power.

When Cor or a Category XV Forward enters your field, until the end of the turn, Cor gains +1000 power and Brave.”
A 2 cost Forward, that can gain power, just by playing cards to the field. FFXV cards that is. And, if Regis is on the field, Cor gains a permanent boost.

With the Noctis deck needing just a few changes Cor is easily playable. And, I believe Cor is already in that Starter Set.

4CP/Lightning
Forward
Captain
Rare

“If you control a Job King, Cor gains +2000 power and “When Cor is put from the field into the Break Zone, you may remove the top 10 cards of your deck from the game. When you do so, play Cor from the Break Zone onto the field dull.”

Let’s see what we wrote a couple months ago.

“Cor was a Captain? How come I don’t remember that?

4 cost Lightning Forward with 8000 power.

Nothing to write home about so far.

But, if a King is on the field, Cor gains +2000 power. making him a 10K body.

When Cor is finally sent to the Break Zone, you can remove the top 10 cards of your deck and play Cor back onto the field dull.

Is it worth it? Probably not. Maybe if Cor was a better card, we’d think about it.”

I’ll stick to that. But, it makes sense calling him Cor, the Immortal as you can just bring Cor back from the Break Zone.

If you ask me the Opus IX Cor is much better, even though it’s just a Common.

Fun Filled Weekend

We just had a long weekend, and with no plans of doing anything, we decided to remodel and reorganize. The whole office. We started Sunday morning, and got most of it done by Monday night. Now it’s almost to where I want it to be. Just have to organize all of the bulk again. But, this won’t be the first or the last time we’ll have to sort the bulk. As new bulk comes in we have to sort it, and place it with our existing inventory.

It’s a fun process.

Put some music on, grab a beverage and go through the bulk. Always hoping that we’ll find a diamond. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t, but we always find a couple of rare cards.

Then it was off to getting everything ready to be tracked, and I hod one item that no matter what I tried, I could not get my shipping label printed. I had been trying for 2 days when I finally decided to contact eBay.

They looked into it and finally told me, that their stamps can not be used to send cards to P.O. Boxes. So, I did what any one would do. I wrote the address on the envelope and stuck a Forever Stamp on it, and sent it on it’s merry way.

And, that is how we spent our weekend.

Cor Leonis

“How long will you remain the protected? The king entrusted the role of protector to you.”

“Head of the Crownsguard and widely regarded as one of the three most powerful warriors in the Kingdom of Lucis. His unfailing ability to return from the brink of death has earned him the nickname “Cor the Immortal”—an appellation he particularly dislikes. On the eve of the signing ceremony, Regis tasked Cor with evacuating the citizens ahead of the imperial assault, knowing he could trust the marshal implicitly. After fleeing the ruins of Insomnia, he seeks out Noctis to share with him his late father’s dying wishes.

Cor holds the distinct honor of having served three separate Lucian monarchs: Mors, Regis, and Noctis. While his loyalty to his lieges has never wavered, his attitude toward authority has evolved over the years. In the arrogance of his youth, he publicly criticized Regis’s retreat from Accordo in the Great War, calling the then-crown prince and his men “a bunch of cowards.” While Cor’s Crownsguard colleagues were incensed by this show of impertinence, Regis was impressed with the young firebrand’s willingness to speak truth to power and immediately hired him as a personal bodyguard. The marshal was so touched by this show of grace that he swore to devote his life to serving Regis and his son Noctis.”

-Dossier Entry

Cor, the Immortal.

Commander of the Crownsguard.

Leader of the Kingslaive.

The personal bodyguard of the late King Mors, who went on to be the personal bodyguard of the late King Regis as well. He isn’t Noctis’s bodyguard, but he still serves him. Cor has served the Royal family for 3 generations. Which makes his story a pretty big one, but since I haven’t finished FFXV, I really can’t get into that.

All I can tell you is that Cor helps Noctis escape from Insomnia, and that even though he butts heads with Ignis, he still watches over Noctis and his party. Cor is the one to tell Noctis that he must collect the weapons of the late Kings.

The Magic Melon

I’ve been reading a lot of Children’s Books lately. My Daughter is now in Kindergarten, and it’s time she learned how to read. I keep telling her once she learns to read, we can start playing Pokemon together. I don’t know if it lit a fire in her, but she does enjoy reading books together.

I want to say her favorite this week was “The Magic Melon”. We have a sheet her teacher gave us to fill out every night, and when I asked her what she thought about the book, she told me the whole story in a tiny paragraph. It was one of those moments where you can’t stop smiling.

The one I liked the most was “Dragons are the Worst”. A story about a goblin that tries so hard to prove that he is a terrifying beast. And, the only way he gets the knights to run away is when a dragon poops on him and he is stinky. At the end of the book, the Goblin is enjoying Ice Cream Soup with the Dragons. Yes, I do like the cheesy books.

Stick ‘Em Up

In other news today, a reporter was robbed at gun point, while doing a report on robberies. I just found that funny. Yes, by the time that you read this it’ll be a few days old. I’m just wondering if they got the robbery on camera.

School has started again, so that means we should be able to start making videos again. We have plenty of boxes to open, collections that we bought and maybe we’ll start trying to do something different. Got to clean up the office for that one.

And, with that out of the way …

– Spoiler Alert –

Back at it with Opera Omnia.

It is getting interesting, and it starting to look like the party doesn’t trust Mog. Why would they? They are going to follow him and get some info out of Cosmos. Or so they think. They’ll probably end up getting a glimpse of Spiritus. And, then they’ll banish him, and we’ll get Super Evil Mog with horns and a pitchfork. Yeah, that’s probably not going to happen, but it would be a sight to see.

The party did say that, they haven’t seen any inhabitants on this world. Except for monsters and manikins. I think I figured Mog out. I believe that Mog is working for himself, trying to be on the good side of both Cosmos and Spiritus, because frankly there is a secret Moogle village somewhere, and whatever happens to this world Mog wants to ensure the safety of his friends.

Let’s see if I’m right.
