Resurgence of Power – Starter Thoughts

18-131S – Iedolas

6CP to play a 4CP Fire Forward from the Break Zone. Iedolas will technically cost you 2CP to play. I’m sure you can find plenty 4 cost Fire Forwards with on entry abilities to make Iedolas a great card to play.

After that you can have Iedolas as a Backup until you want to use his ability to deal 7000 damage to a Forward.

 

 

18-132S – Ravus

Captain! Captain?

Ravus here might be a good choice to use with Iedolas, if there are already a couple of Captains in your Break Zone. Deal a Forward 10K Damage and hopefully you’ll break it.

If not, Ravus does gain +1000 Power at 3 points of Damage. Add Opus I Lebraeu and he’ll be a 10K Forward.

 

18-133S – Ignis

Ignis is here to give Noctis and Co. protection from your opponent’s abilities. And technically give them Brave. As all the Characters are activated every time Ignis or Noctis attacks.

You’ll have plenty of CP available to you for Main Phase 2 and your opponents turn as all your Backups will be active.

So, play plenty of Backups.

 

18-134S – Prompto

This is a nice card. If you have the whole party out, Prompto is a 2CP/8K with Haste, and every time he attacks you get to draw 2 cards.

Along with Ignis’ protection from abilities, you can probably add Opus I Maria and your opponent will have a hard time getting rid of Prompto.

 

 

18-135S – Gladiolus

Gladiolus might not have Cyclone, but he can attack for up to 12K just from having Noctis on the field. And if you do, Gladiolus will only cost you 2CP.

At 3 points of Damage Gladiolus gains Brave.

Good blocker to have on hand.

 

 

18-136S – Titan

Hmm?

Well, you cast Titan remove a card a Forward from the Break Zone and deal damage to one of your opponents Forwards for the power of the removed Forward.

I might be missing something here, but I believe there are better Summons.

 

18-137S – Aranea EX

Haste, First Strike and the ability to break 2 of your opponents Forward when she enters. All this for 6CP.

Aranea is more like a Summon that sticks around after it has been cast.

Sure you can keep her on hand until you decide to use her when you get 5 points of Damage. Or you can keep Opus VIII Rinoa on hand and bounce her.

 

18-138S – Glauca

This is an interesting one. Just a regular card until he enters the Break Zone. Where he allows you to search for 2 Captains.

You don’t even need to wait for your opponent to send him there, you can put him in the Break Zone whenever you’d like, and you’ll Dull 2 of your opponents Forwards for doing so.

 

 

18-139S – Noctis EX

Search for a Retainer.

Play that Retainer and deal Damage equal to it’s power to one of your opponents Forwards. But this ability isn’t limited to the Job Class Retainer. It can be used for any Wind or Earth Forward.

Only downfall, which isn’t really a Downfall is that it can only be used once per turn.

 

18-140S – Ardyn

Coming in with Brave and a 9K body Ardyn would be a decent card without his ability. But, with that ability you can play a number of cards for a measly 1CP.

Imagine playing Iedolas or Aranea for 1 CP. And that’s just 2 cards that came in this deck.

I can see decks being made around this card.

Magnets

The item you never knew you needed. Final Fantasy Magnets, staying true to the NES 8-bit days we make these magnets to look exactly like they would in Final Fantasy. And, I think they look pretty good, if I say so myself.

We’re starting off with Final Fantasy 1, We made the Warriors of Light. Fighter, Thief, Monk, Black Mage, Red Mage and White Mage. You can get just one or all six. 4 would probably be ideal as that’s how many party members you have in the game. You can set them up to hold up your kids pictures or the bills you need to pay or anything else for that matter.

We’re also offering custom magnets as well. You can choose the base, then change around the color of the clothes, skin and hair color. And, as you know it I always misplace things so, those pics will be up later.

Watch out for the email, that will tell you when they go on sale. So, sign up for the newsletter while you’re at it. That way you won’t miss out on anything,

More Categories

As some of you have seen, we added a new category. It will slowly start filling up with various items that don’t have much to do with TCGs, but we like them so we decided to try some new things out.

Right now there are only a few magnets in that category, but we’ll soon be listing Games, Video Games, Action Figures, Toys and that’s just to name a few. Most of these items will be one offs. Meaning if we have it now, we might not be able to get it again. So if you see something you like better grab it quickly.

We’re hoping to get back to a regular posting schedule, but sometimes life doesn’t want to work with you.
We’re still here. Stay tuned.

Gcon – Chicago’s Southside Comic Con

Another show added to our schedule.

Once again Gcon – Chicago’s Southside Comic Con will be taking place on September 25th. But, this time we will also be there.

9:00 – 9:30 $10 Admission

“What started as an idea blossumed into reality. The shows began on October of 2011, our founder, Leo Guerrero, attended many conventions during the 1980’s when they were held in the loop at the Congress Hotel. It was a time that any collector could go get his/her favorite collectible and get a chance to meet any creative person from any comic book company.

G Connn, formally called T-C-S, started at the Holiday Inn of Midway Airport in a 2000 square foot room, and now has moved to the Orland Park Civic Center, which is 10,000 square feet of space. Dealers include comic shops, vintage toys, and all other memorabilia ranging from posters to statues are represented at each show. We strive to get as diversified an offering as we can so that you, the collector, can have more to choose from.

This latest show, which will take place on Sunday, September 30th, will have a lot of what collectors expect at a show: great dealers and easily accessible creators.”
