Waterlike Oceans

28-096H – Alexander

Not bad, for 2CP.

Activating all you Forwards at the end of your Main Phase 2 seems like a good idea.

Or you can bait your opponent into trying to break a dull Forward, and then Alexander comes out and activates all of your Forwards, canceling it.

Yeah, that’s a long shot, but it could happen.

And your other choice is to reduce the damage dealt to one of your Forwards by 2000.

This card will work great against Dull/Freeze decks.

28-097H – Vaan

Even with all the Moogle Bounty Mayhem cards we have received. Vaan is here to take that deck over the top.

We, have removal, plenty of it, we have seek and play, but Vaan, he’s different.

Vaan can attack twice in the same turn, making him a Forward worth having on the field at all times.

And, if you ever need more cards, just discard a MBM character and you will draw 2 Cards.

28-098H – Garnet

Garnet comes on in, reveals the top 5 cards of your deck, and you get to grab a Final Fantasy IX Character and add it to your hand, if you find one there.

If you find one Garnet’s total cost will be 2CP, if not then 4CP it is.

After that she has an ongoing effect, that will make all of your opponent’s Summons cost 1 more CP.

And at 3 points of damage, your Summons will cost 1CP less.

.

28-099C – Musician

A Backup with a bell?

Musician our elemental Water Backup, that needs 5 Backups on the field in order to use it’s ability.

And, what does that ability do?

It returns one of your opponent’s Forwards to their owner’s hand.

And that’s it.

It can be useful in a pinch, but I prefer abilities that break Characters.

28-100C – Sage

And, right after our Elemental Backup, we get our Water Crystal Backup.

Who does the same thing that the other Crystal Backups of this set do.

Enters the field, gain a Crystal.

Leaves the field, gain a Crystal.

.
.

28-101L – Steiner

First off, these cards look great. Hopefully they’ll fix the foiling on these this set.

Steiner, a 6 cost Forward with 9000 power, that when Steiner enters the field, you can grab a Final Fantasy IX Character from your Break Zone and play it on to the field. Up to 4CP, which is plenty of Characters to choose. Depending on who you choose to play, Steiner’s cost can go down to 2CP.

And, that’s not all.

Nope. Steiner wouldn’t be a Legend if that were it.

All Final Fantasy IX Characters, except Steiner can not be chosen by your opponent’s abilities.

So, how will we protect Steiner?

Just use Alert, which does the same thing for himself, but only lasts until the end of the turn.

28-102R – Princess Sarah

This isn’t bad at all.

Princess Sarah, comes on to the field, and you’ll draw a card and gain a Crystal.

What makes this better than other cards that allow you to draw a card, is that you can look at the top card of your deck.
If you like it, keep it there.

If you don’t, you can send it to the bottom of your deck, and grab the next card.

It’s worth a play, if you have nothing else in your hand.

.

28-103C – Astrologian

For 1CP you can gain a Crystal and a Meat Shield.

This card hold much value for your Crystal deck.

Not only does it give you a Crystal for 1CP, you can play 3 of them at the same time, and those 3 will block incoming attacks for you.

You can also use that Crystal to draw a card, but I suggest you put your EX Burst on top, and get a point of damage the next turn.

But, that depends on which EX Burst you put on top.

28-104C – Sorbet

This is your main Backup for MBM.

Also known as a color fixer.

Sorbet, can pay for MBM cards with any element. Making it easier to play all 6 MBM Monsters.

I would Mulligan if I didn’t get this card in my first draw.

.

28-105C – Trion

At 5CP and 9K power, you’d think that Trion is just your typical Common Forward. And, I would say you are right.

The only difference is that if you have a Princess on the field, Trion’s cost goes down by 2CP to 3CP.

Which is a lot better that 5.

And every time Trion attacks, you get to draw a card.

And, then you get to discard a card.

That’s a bout it.

28-106R – Hurdy EX

Search for that Forward.

Add it to your hand.

If you haven’t noticed, there are a few MBM cards that search, grab from the Break Zone, or play to the field. And, that’s a good thing.

You’re going to be able to fill up that board very quickly with these cards.

Yes, we’ll take 3. Wait, we already have 3.

28-107R – Pylraster

Dinosaurs are coming back from extinction. We just got our second Dinosaur, and this one increases the damage Dinasours deal to Forwards by 5000.

Since our other Dinosaur doesn’t deal damage, Pylraster can only target itself with his ability.

Pylraster can also become a Forward as well.

Now there is one more target, and that is Bartz (1-081R). So, there is that.

.

28-108R – Honey B. Lovely

Hmm, that’s different.

Honey B. Lovely comes in and everybody gets to draw a card.

And, at 3 points of damage, your opponent will then places a card from their hand to the bottom of their deck.

It’s not bad, especially for 2CP, and then you have a Meat Shield to protect you from your opponent’s attackers.

.

28-109C – Penelo

You would have thought that this card would have been more than just a Common. A Rare perhaps, but I’m not complaining. Not much.

Penelo comes in and grabs an MBM character from the top 5 cards of your deck.

Which if you’re playing MBM, you’re going to find it 99.99% of the time.

It’s Penelo’s ability that makes her shine.

You can dull 3 MBM Characters, and your opponent will put one of their Forwards into the Break Zone. The good thing is that you can use this as many times as you want during your turn, as long as you have enough MBM Characters on the field.

And, if you need to grant Penelo a little bit of Protection, you can always have Mayakov (15-121R). Who can also play Penelo on to the field.

28-110C – Horne

Horne can become a Free Play quite easily.

If you already have another 2 MBM Characters on the field before Horne comes in you will draw a card.

It’s not bad, it’s just a free way to get another Backup on the board.

And, you can also put Horne into the Break Zone and give one of your MBM Forwards +1000 power.

There are better MBM Backups that you can play. And hopefully we’ll get some new ones in upcoming sets.

.

28-111H – Yuna

I’ve been talking about YRP making a comeback for years. And, I’m not stopping now. We need a new YRP deck, and we need it now.

Yuna is here to help. Wind/Water/Gullwings/FFX. That is the basis of the deck, and Once per turn Yuna will search for a Gullwing and you’ll play it on to the field.

And, whenever a Forward of any element except for Water enters the field, you’ll choose a Forward and they will lose 4000 power. Possibly breaking them. Not all of them, but some for sure. Hopefully.

This is also our Gold Signature card, which looks amazing. I’ll be happy of getting a Full Art of this card, even without the Signature.
.

28-112C – Lion

Am I reading this right?

When Lions enters the field play a Water Forward of cost 6 or less from your hand onto the field?

Lion costs 4 CP.

You’re getting 2 Forwards worth up to 10CP for 4CP. How is that possible? Actually, I don’t care. I’ll take 3 of these and put them in any deck that uses Water.

And, if you have at least 5 Water Forwards on the field. The Water Forwards gain +1000 power.

What’s not to like?

And, how is this a Common?

28-113R – Leonora

Not bad.

For 3CP and a Summon you can send a Forward to the Break Zone. Your opponent will choose which one, but it’s still one less Forward on their field.

If you don’t have a Summon in your hand, lucky for you that you will draw a card, before you discard a card. Meaning you might find a Summon there.

After that you have a body with 5000 power on the field ready to attack or block.

.
28-114L – Rosa

You see this?

Rosa is bringing everyone out to play.

Rosa enters the field for 6CP, and searches for a Final Fantasy IV Forward and adds it to your hand.

After that you can play 2 FFIV Forwards from your hand on to the field. Only thing is that their combined cost has to be 4CP or less. Which isn’t that hard to do, considering we have a plethora of 2 cost Forwards, you should be fine.

Dreamlike Lightning

28-077R – Wicked Thunder

Lightning in a bottle.

Wicked Thunder will break one of your opponent’s higher cost Forwards when she enters the field. Which one? Your opponent gets to choose.

You will also have to break one of your higher cost Forwards as well.

And at 3 points of damage, Wicked Thunder can not be broken by abilities that don’t deal damage. Meaning you get to keep this 9K body on the field just a little while longer.

 

28-078H – Ulmia

For 4CP you can search for a Character that costs 6CP or more.

And, that’s more cards than you can shake a stick at. Or a harp.

Ulmia’s 2nd ability gives Haste to a Forward that costs 6CP or more.

I think I see a pattern here.

I won’t say no to this card.

 

28-079C – Elena (FFBE)

Need a Crystal?

Throw Elena on to the field, and block the first Attacker.

If you already have a Crystal, you can give a Brave Exvius Forward +2000 power and Haste.

And, that’s all you need to know.

Elena is just a Meat Shield that can generate a Crystal.

 

28-080C – Gurdy

This is a great card.

I did play MBM during our Midnight Prerelease, and it was great how easily this deck is played.

Gurdy comes right in and grabs a Moogle Bounty Mayhem Character from the Break Zone and you add it to your hand. That means you can grab another Gurdy from your Break Zone. And, you can keep recycling them.

Why would you need to recycle them?

If you look at Gurdy’s second ability, you will break a Forward. Which Forward? Well that will depend on how many MBM Characters you have on the field.

I have a feeling that Gurdy has a high chance of getting the ban hammer.

28-081L – Kain

Now this is a great card.

Kain will break a Forward whenever he enters the field through a Summon or an ability.

That being said, Kain can Warp on to the field. And, he will Break a Forward.

At 3 points of Damage Kain gains +1000 power, Haste and First Strike.

Now, let’s get to Jump. Kain’s S Ability. Kain will jump out of the field and Remove himself from the game, but then he will come back at the end of the turn. And, when Kain comes back, he will Break one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Kain Warps in, Breaks a Forward, then you play Rinoa (6-041L) which will bounce Kain. And when he comes back you will Break another Character. Then use Kain’s S ability, to Jump out and Jump back in to Break another Forward.

How many Kains can you fit in a deck?

28-082R – Cait Sith EX

Cait Sith is here ready to stall your opponent with his fortune telling.

And, what does your opponent’s fortune come out to?

One of their Forwards is dull.

And, then your fortune says, you can draw a card.

When are we getting the moogle as a card?

 

28-083C – Onion Knight (FFTS)

Onion Knight has one job, and that is to mine for Crystals. They’ll grab one when they enter the field, and another one when they are sent to the Break Zone.

Other than that, Onion Knight will produce 1CP per turn as that is what all Backups do.

Maybe they’ll finally retire the cards they’ve been reprinting since Crystal Dominion.

 

 

 

28-084R – Nono

This is a great card as well, and can be played for Free!

Nono’s cost is reduced by one for each Moogle Bounty Mayhem Character that you control. Meaning that if you already have 6 on the field, Nono is a Free Play!

And, what a Free Play! (Yes, we have to Capitalize Free Play, cause we’re excited.)

Nono comes right in and breaks one of your opponent’s Forwards.

And, after that, you have a Meat Shield on the field, that you will want to get rid of.

Why?

So, you can play another Nono.

And another.

Gurdy, will have his work cut out for him.

28-085C – Baknamy

Another Backup that has a good ability, but that ability is locked by the number of Backups that you control.

That was a mouthful.

Now, that ability breaks a Forward of 3CP or less.

If you can build your Backups fast, you can use this whenever you’d like.

If not then you’ll have to wait.

And, wait.

28-086R – Basch

This Moogle Bounty Mayhem deck just keeps getting better and better.

Basch comes in at 2CP with 5000 power.

If you have 5 MBM Characters on the field, Basch will gain +5000 power and Brave. Giving him a 10K body.

But that’s not all.

If you still need more power, you can discard a Moogle Bounty Mayhem Character and give Bach another 5000 power, for a grand total of 15,000 power.

And, I’m sure there are more ways to bring up his power even more.

28-087H Bahamut SIN

Really?!?

4CP to cast this Summon?

Never mind the extra cost of 2 Crystals, but this is great. I expect this one to be in almost every Lightning deck.

Bahamut SIN comes in and breaks 2 Forwards. Period.

Yeah, you have to pay 2 Crystals to break the second Forward. And, I would pay it with a smile on my face. Every single time.

This card might be the reason we have more Crystal generators in this set.

28-088H – Balthier

MBM.

What’s Moogle Mayhem Bounty? How come I’ve never heard of it?

Anyways, Balthier is here to make MBM a threat. First off, he comes in with Haste.

Second if you have 5 MBM Characters on the field, Balthier will give a Forward Haste every time he attacks.

And, lastly, Whenever a MBM Forward attacks, you will dull a Forward.

That last one by itself is great. I’d pay 5CP just for that ability.

Now, I want to go back and check out all the other MBM cards.

28-089C – Palom

Palom is here to deal some damage.

All you need is a Crystal for when he enters the field.

At only 2CP this might be a steal, cause most of the time, you will be breaking that Forward.

Wait a second.

Since when was Palom in Crystal Chronicles?

I’m going to have to look into this.

28-090C – Fran

And right next to Balthier is Fran who is the perfect card for him. As always.

Fran comes in and grabs a MBM Forward from your Break Zone.

More than likely you will grab Balthier. You will then use Fran’s second ability to play Balthier. Balthier comes in with Haste and attacks. And since you already have 5 MBM cards on the field, Baltheir will give Fran Haste. Balthier will also dull one of your opponent’s Forwards. Fran will now attack. And since Balthier is still on the field, she will dull a Forward as well.

You get all this for a grand total of 5CP, minus the 2CP of grabbing a card from your Break Zone. Actual cost is 3CP.

Not bad.

28-091R – Vorpal Bunny

More MBM.

Vorpal Bunny is a crap shot.

Vorpal Bunny comes in, you choose a Forward of 3CP or less, and you put the top card of your deck into the Break Zone. If it’s a Forward you get to Break that Forward. If it’s not you just picked a Forward for no reason.

Vorpal Bunny also turns into a Forward, giving Balthier an extra shot to dull one of your opponent’s Forwards.

 

28-092C – Montblanc

Montblanc is here to help you play your MBM Monsters on to the field. Or any MBM Character, as long as their cost is 3CP or less.

I mean this is a great card to play early on. And if you play let’s say Gurdy, you’ll grab another card from your Break Zone, and Montblanc will have become a Free Play as well.

He also has this small ability that deals 4000 damage to a Forward of your choosing.

.

28-093H – Lightning

This card is amazing as well. Lots of great cards in this set, and Lightning is no exception.

For 6CP you play Lightning, once she is on the field, you’ll reveal the top 5 cards of your deck. All Odins and Lightnings will be added to your hand. The rest go to the bottom of your deck.

Meaning that if for some reason there are 5 Odins and/or Lightnings, you’ll be up 4CP from the play.

And when Lightning enters the field you may discard a card to break one of your opponent’s Forwards. If that card is named Lightning, then you will also draw a card.

Now picture this.

Mono-Mono-Lightning. Fill your deck up with 30 Lightnings and 20 Odins, and see if that works.

It doesn’t even matter which Lightning cards you grab, cause they’re just fodder for Lightnings ability whenever she attacks.

28-094C – Dragoon

4CP and a Crystal to Break a Forward?

I’ll take it.

And, since we have a bunch of Dragoons that generate Crystals, you’re good to go.

After that you got an 8k body on the field, and you should be good to go.

 

 

.

28-095L – Lumina

Ok, Ok.

This is a wonderful card.

It’s a great card.

It’s Lumina, she can’t get a bad card, can she?

Lumina comes in for 2CP and amd she will break a Forward. Which Forward? Depends on how many Final Fantasy XIII Characters you already have on the field.

This one also comes off of an EX Burst.

And, you can discard a Final Fantasy XIII card, and exchange it with another Final Fantasy XIII card that is in your Break Zone.

What’s not to like?

I’ll take 3. Full Arts.

Electrifying Singles!

Dreamlike Winds

28-039H – Warrior of Light

For 4CP, Warrior of light will come on in, revealing the top 5 cards of your deck, and playing a Wind Character 2CP or less on to the field.

That’s a good start.

Warrior of Light doesn’t really shine until later in the game.

When you have 5 Wind Backups on the field, Warrior of Light will gain +4000 power, and the ability to not be targeted by your opponent’s abilities.

That’s a 9k body, ready to attack, ready to block, ready to take on Chaos!

28-040C – Sky Samurai

For 2CP and Crystal, Sky Samurai is a great card to play.

First off, she cannot be blocked by a Forward that costs 4CP or more.

Secondly, you can pay a Crystal and give her +3000 power and Haste, meaning she can attack as soon as she enters the field.
And, that is all you need to know.

Now go play this card alongside Warrior of Light.

 

28-041C – Edge

Coming in like a Ninja with Back Attack!

Edge enters the field and deals 4000 damage to a Forward. And since he can come in during your opponent’s turn, Edge can hit the Forward that is attacking for 4000 damage. He probably won’t break that Forward, but it should be enough for your Blocker to Break it.

And if you have received 5 points of damage, whenever Edge deals damage to a Forward the damage increases by 4000, making his enter the field ability deal 8000 damage to a Forward.

And whenever Edge attacks, his damage becomes 11,000!

 

28-042C – Scholar

Gain 2 Crystals.

We’re just going to Copy/Paste again.

“Here we go, a Crystal Generator.

One when Scholar comes in, and one when you use the ability to send her to the Break Zone.

Simple.

Easy to understand.

Not much else going on here.”

28-043R – Gi Nattak

4CP, 8000 power.

Formerly of Cosmo Canyon. But, technically he still lives there.

Gi Nattak has a great ability. Everytime Gi Nattak is dealt damage, you will choose one of your opponent’s Forwards, and cast Doom on it. That Doom counter will break that Forward at the end of your opponent’s turn.

They’ll think twice about trying to get rid of him, or even blocking him for that matter.

He’s not just a Forward, He’s a Gi.

Yeah, that was terrible.

28-044H – Edward

You see this, Edward’s harp is finally working.

At the end of your turn, Edwards will Activate one of your Forwards. It’s like Brave, but different.

And then we have Hastemarch.

Activate all of your Characters. As long as you have two active Wind Backups, and another Edward in your hand, you will be able to Activate all of your Characters during your opponent’s turn. That way even if you miscalculate your plan, and went all out but failed. Edward can give you that second chance.

 

28-045R – Zack

How does a Wind Forward from your Break Zone sound?

Zack comes on in and you can grab that Wind Forward, add it to your hand. And this ability also comes off of an EX Burst. So, you don’t even need to pay 5CP for it, as you might get lucky.

That is not all. Not at all.

You see, Zack also has another ability that reduces the cost of Wind Forwards by 2CP. Yes, it does cost 1 Wind CP for this ability, but you’re getting a discount. 2 cost Forwards now cost 1CP.

It’s like a Buy One Get One Free! On 2 cost Wind Forwards. But not at the same time. One for this turn and one for next turn.

 

28-046C- Zidane

Zidane comes in, looks at the top 5 cards of your deck and grabs a low cost card. 2CP or less.

If you do find one, congratulations, you just paid 1CP for a Backup.

You’ll say, yes but what else does Zidane do.

Remember that pesky Forward or Summon that you had trouble with, and you finally sent it to the Break Zone? You can use Zidane’s second ability to remove that card from the game.

And since you’ll be getting rid of Zidane, you will now be able to play another Backup.

 

28-047C – Summoner

A 2 cost Summoner that will produce CP until you need to grab a Summon from your Break Zone.

Not a bad deal, plus Summoner is one of the few Summons that can get rid of themselves.

Will this Summoner see much use? That depends on what Summons you have in your Break Zone.

I could see a couple of these in a few decks.

 

 

 

28-048H – Sylph

2CP to draw a card.

Add in a Crystal and you can protect one of your Forwards from your opponent’s abilities.

Not bad.

With the 2CP that you get back, you’ll be paying for Sylph with just a Crystal.

Sylph will come in clutch.

 

28-049R – Cluckatrice

Activate a Forward at the end of your turn.

Not just one turn, all of your turns.

This might actually be Edward’s pet from another universe. Yeah, I made that up.

And, Cluckatrice also becomes a Forward with 6000 power.

Now if they only made this card into a Full Art …

 

28-050C – Paine

First off, I will say, I never had Paine as a White Mage.

Ok let’s see here.

At the end of your turns, you can reveal the top card of your deck. And if you find a Final Fantasy X Forward there, you can add it to your hand.

Also, at the end of your turns, you can put Paine into the Break Zone, and play another Paine from your hand on to the field.
We have 8 to choose from. And, I’m guessing that sooner or later, we’re going to get a High Cost Paine, that will pair perfectly with this one.

 

28-051R – Black Cat

You feel lucky?

Black Cat comes in and you can play a 3 cost Character from your hand on to the field. The Bad News? Your opponent gets to do the same thing.

If they don’t have any cards in their hand, you have nothing to worry about.

And, when you’ve received three points of damage, Black Cat will also grab a Character from the Break Zone.

Meaning that you’re actually coming out +2CP.

And, with 8000 power she’ll be sticking around the field for a bit.

28-052L – Marche

This is the first good Marche that we’ve gotten since Opus XI.

And, how good this Marche is depends on how many Backups are on your field. Let’s not forget about Crystals, Marche likes Crystals this time around.

If you have 2 Backups MArche gains +1000 power and Haste.

If you have 5 Backups MArche can’t be blocked by Forwards that cost 3CP or more.

I can just leave that like this, and you’ll agree with me. But, we’re not done.

When Marche deals damage to your opponent, you can pay a Crystal, and when you do, you will draw 2 cards.

I can’t wait to see Ritz’s card.

28-053C – Maria

Oh, well this is interesting.

Maria comes in and searches for a Final Fantasy II Forward and plays it to the field.

And, that is it.

Now, if you decide to search for Guy (28-004C), once he enters the field, you will search for a Warrior or a Rebel and add it to your hand. And, Maria will turn into a Free Play. And, we all like Free Plays.

 

 

28-054L – Yuffie

You can call this a Combo Play. And, the best thing is that you only need one card to do it.

Yuffie comes in and you will Remove 2 cards from your opponent’s Break Zone from the game. You will then gain 2 Crystals.

Once those Crystals are in your hand, you can then use a Crystal to give Yuffie +1000 power and Haste.

You can then use Yuffie to attack your opponent and strike them with 9000 power, which is usually more than enough to break a Forward.

Another Crystal can be used to grant Yuffie protection from your opponent’s abilities, and 2 Crystals can be used to deal a Forward 8000 damage.

We’re going to need a bigger Crystal Generator.

28-055H – Richt

Are the Warriors of the Crystals coming back.

It sure looks like it, and they’re going to become a lot stronger.

Take Richt for example.

When he enters the field, you can pay the extra Crystal and grab a 2 cost Backup from your Break Zone and play it on to the field.

Not only that, but whenever Richt attacks, you will activate 2 of your Backups.

I haven’t seen so much activation in a set since Opus XIV.

28-056C – Leon

I mean, why would you play this card. What am I not seeing?

Leon comes in for 2CP, but if you don’t have Maria on the field or pay an extra 2CP, Leon is sent to the Break Zone.

Sure Leon might have an 8K body, but he is useless.

Wasn’t there a card that said “when one of your Forwards is put into the Break Zone”?

 

 

28-057R – Red XIII

I don’t know if you see it, but I do.

It’s March 13th. Or Marche/XIII.

It’s meant to be. Red XIII will be forming a party with Marche, and then Red XIII will be looking at the top 3 cards of your deck, adding a Final Fantasy VII Character to your hand each time. And, Marche will be dealing damage, and if it hit’s your opponent, you will also draw 2 cards.

Look at that, 3 new cards to start your Main Phase 2.

Yes, there’s a chance you’ll whiff, but we’re looking on the bright side.

Dreamlike Fire

28-001R – Ursula

2CP + 1CP + 1CP = 8000 damage / 2

Or something along those lines.

Ursula comes right on in, and you can pay 1 Fire CP two times. Each time you do Ursula will deal 4000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

And, if you already have received 3 points of damage, every time she deals damage to a Forward that damage increases by 1000.

Making each hit, 5000 points of damage.

This changes our formula. But, we’ll just leave it like that.

28-002R – Ardyn

This is interesting.

Ardyn is here to deplete everyone of their resources.

At 4CP, and 9000 power, he’ll be hard to get rid of.

At the beginning of each player’s Main Phase 1, you’ll have to put one Character into the Break Zone. If you don’t Ardyn will deal you one point of damage.

And at 3 points of damage, Ardyn will double the damage dealt. So, 1 point of damage will become 2 points of damage.

Ardyn will make your matches much shorter.

28-003C – Garland

Half way to board wipe.

Garland comes along and he’s taking down all of your low cost Forwards. 7000 damage to all the Forwards 2CP and below, is a serious threat, to low cost Forwards.

If the Forwards are 3CP and up, well then you’re out of luck. Even 9000 power won’t be worth the 5CP spent to play Garland.
Maybe one would be good. There are better 5 cost cards out there.

 

28-004C – Guy

Now this is what I’m talking about.

Firion and Co. is getting a great addition to the Final Fantasy II deck. If you don’t have one yet, then it’s probably time to make one.

Guy comes in and grabs either a Warrior or a Rebel from your Break Zone. Which is great because Guy only costs 2CP.

Only drawback, is if you grab a card that isn’t from Final Fantasy II then you’ll have to discard a card.

Guy has been getting some great cards lately.

28-005C – Gunbreaker

3CP and a Crystal in order to get Gunbreaker’s full potential.

That full potential includes 8000 damage dealt to a Forward of your choice.

If all you want is a Meat Shield, then you don’t need to worry about the Crystal.

Yeah, that’s it.

.

 

28-006C – Clavat

Here we go, a Crystal Generator.

One when Clavat comes in, and one when you use the ability to send her to the Break Zone.

Simple.

Easy to understand.

Not much else going on here.

28-007H – Cloud EX

Another Cloud, Another Full Art.

I’m not complaining.

I just like how they’re using his Advent Children outfit for this one.

Cloud has a couple of things going on when he enters the field.

First off, he grabs a Final Fantasy VII Character from the Break Zone.

And then he gives you a Crystal.

Need more Crystals?

Cloud can generate 1 Crystal per turn. And if you don’t need a Crystal, Cloud will give one of your Final Fantasy VII Forwards +2000 power.

Did you notice Cloud’s Job?

28-008C – Amarant

You will play Amarant second.

Or third. You can play him first, but you’ll just end up wasting a card.

Amarant deals a Forward 7000 damage when he enters the field, and that might just be enough to break most Forwards.
3CP, and 9000 power. He’s a great Meat Shield.

And, we’ll leave it at that.

 

28-009C – Jecht EX

Jecht’s first outing as a Backup. I don’t know how well the Starting Blitzball player will take that, but hes got a job to do.

Jecht comes in off the bench, and if your opponent has 3 Forwards on the field, Jecht will deal one 8000 damage.

If not, then the bench is for Jecht, and he’ll give you 1CP per turn.

 

.

28-010R – Jack Garland

Garland is Garland. I think we’ve said that before.

Jack enters the field and deals 8000 damage to a Forward.

And when your opponents plays a Forward, you can put Jack into the Break Zone and deal that Forward 9000 damage.

Jack plays like the Opus V Grenade. Only difference is that Jack will give you 1CP per turn until you decide to use his ability.

 

28-011H – Cecil

This Cecil acts more like a Dark Knight than a Paladin.

And, you need Dark Knight Cecil in order to get Cecil’s full effect.

Cecil enters the field, and if you have a Dark Knight Cecil in your Break Zone, Cecil draws you a card.

But, that’s not the reason we’ll be playing Cecil.

We’ll be playing Cecil for Cecil’s second ability, which whenever one of your Forwards is put into the Break Zone, Cecil will deal one of your opponent’s Forwards 7000 damage. Every time. Not just once per turn.

How many times did we say Cecil?

28-012C – Warrior

End game Backup.

Warrior won’t do anything meaningful, until you have 5 Backups on the field.

But, when you do Warrior will deal 7000 to a Forward of your choosing, he will then proceed to head to the Break Zone giving you room to play one more Backup.

 

 

28-013L – Tifa

Get ready for Final Fantasy VII to re-enter the Meta.

Yes, I base that off of this card. Along with all the other awesome cards we had in previous sets. Tifa is going to take the Meta by storm. If not, then I will say “What do I know?”

Tifa comes in for 3CP, 7000 Power and Brave. And depending on how many Final Fantasy VII Characters you have on the field, Tifa will deal 4000 damage for each one. You got a board full? You can get to 40K damage.

Is it worth mentioning, cause not that many Forward go over 10000 power? Of course it is!

You can also pay the extra cost of 2 Crystals, and Tifa will gain Haste, +2000 power, and the ability to attack twice in the same turn.

Nuff’ said.

I’ll take 3. Full Arts. Always Full Arts.

This card is going to be money.

28-014R – Rogue Tomato

How come I have never heard of Moogle Bounty Mayhem.

And, why is this tomato still in it’s pajamas?

Doesn’t it know that he’s about to be sent to the field? All by himself, with no Forwards to protect him, all so it can deal 4000 damage to a Forward.

Well, Rogue Tomato can become a Forward, but then you won’t be able to use it’s ability.

 

28-015H – Barret

Barret comes in from the get go and deals massive damage. 9000 to one Forward and 7000 to another.

And every time your opponent’s Forwards are sent to the Break Zone, you will gain a Crystal.

You can change Barret’s name to Crystal Generator.

Then there is Focused Shot, which will deal 10,000 damage to 2 Forwards. All you got to do is divide it up however you see fit.

This Barret will fit better into a Warrior Tribal deck. But he does generate the Crystals that Tifa needs.

28-016L – Vivi

Got to say, I’m liking this art. Even though we’ve seen these in the last few sets, Vivi is always a card that I look forward to. I’ve always wanted to build a deck around Vivi, and with this one, I might finally be able to make a decent one.

Let’s get straight to the card.

Vivi comes in for 4CP, and when he enters the field you can divide 7000 damage between any number of Forwards that your opponent controls.

You can deal 7000 to one Forward, or 1000 damage to 7 Forwards. Meaning you can hopefully break a Forward when Vivi comes in.

If you have a Final Fantasy IX Forward on the field alongside Vivi, that damage becomes 10,000 instead. Meaning more fire power for you.
There’s also a little ability that Vivi has that will deal 9000 damage to a Forward.

Only downside is that Vivi only has 5000 power, making him suspectable to your opponent’s damage.

I’ll take 3.

28-017C – Firion

For 2CP, you have a 5000 body that comes in with Haste.

And, if you have another Final Fantasy II Character on the field, Firion gains +2000 power.
And that is all there is to say about this card.

Might be a good first round play if you’re up first. Other than that. Not much going on here.

 

28-018H – Brynhildr

For 2CP this is a great Summon, I would go as far as to say Superb.

Brynhildr will either deal a Forward 5000 damage, 10K if it’s a Multi-Element, or Brynhildr will break a Monster.

And, you don’t have to choose just one. You can use both if you’d like. All you got to do is pay a Crystal.

I’ve been noticing that this set is giving us lots of Crystal play.

 

28-019R – Brute Bomber

The Brute Bomber ,the Arcadian Fighter!

Brute Bomber enters the field and deals 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards and one of your Forwards. You both get to choose who get’s dealt the damage.

And, at 3 points of damage, all damage that Brute Bomber receives is reduced by 2000.

Making Brute Bomber the perfect choice to deal himself damage.

Just make sure you play him after you already receive those 3 points of damage.

Hot Singles!
