Memories of Kardboard

Another Memories of Life Midnight Prerelease is in the books, and as usual, it was an absolute blast!

As for yours truly? I went completely unvictorious. That’s right—I went 0-2, caught a bye, and officially locked down dead last place. But hey, that’s completely fine by me—I can’t really go around winning my own shop prizes anyway!

We’ve been insanely busy behind the scenes over the last few weeks, which is why updates have been a little sparse lately. Things might stay a bit quiet on the news front for another stretch, with one big exception: our Memories of Life set reviews, which we are actively working on right now. Keep your eyes peeled, because those will be dropping on the site soon!

📦 Restock Quest Update: Level Opus X Complete!

So, what have we been grinding out behind the scenes?

We officially hit Opus X on the Restock Quest and cleared it out! That puts us at roughly 1/3rd of the way through this massive project, with plenty of ground left to cover. We’re going to hit the pause button on the quest for just this week so we can focus entirely on the official Memories of Life launch.

🛒 Pre-Orders & Leftover Prerelease Kits LIVE!

Speaking of Memories of Life, our official allocation numbers are locked in, which means booster boxes are officially live for Pre-Order on the site right now! As soon as our shipment hits the front door, we’ll be packing and shipping them out to your doorstep immediately.

Plus, if you couldn’t make it out to Mr. Gyros for the tournament, we have a limited number of leftover Prerelease Kits available on the store as well. Grab yours before they’re gone!

Memories of Life

We’re jumping straight into the big news today—Opus XXX : Memories of Life has been officially revealed! This set is breaking tradition in a few ways and looks like a massive love letter to Final Fantasy IX.

Here is the breakdown of what we know so far:


Pack Art & Themes

For the first time in FFTCG history, we are getting three different pack designs in a single set! All three feature characters from Final Fantasy IX, confirming that this legendary title is the centerpiece of the set. Personally, I’m crossing my fingers that we finally get some Tantalus cards to round out the FFIX roster.

The Gold Signature: Shantotto

Our Gold Stamped Signature card for this set is the legendary Shantotto.

I’ll be honest—at first glance, I didn’t recognize her! I thought it was one of the Tarutarus from Opus XIX: From Nightmares, and I was genuinely confused why they’d give a Tarutaru the Full Art Signature treatment. But now that the dust has settled, I can say it is an absolutely gorgeous card.

The Return of Noir & Legacy Cards

The Noir collection continues to grow! This time, Sephiroth is getting the black-and-white treatment. Since both Noir cards so far are Final Fantasy VII characters, I’m starting to wonder if they are slowly reprinting the cards from the exclusive Noir art book.

We also have a killer lineup of Legacy cards:

  • Tifa (Dawn of Heroes)

  • Cyan (Beyond Destiny) — That Cyan card is definitely the standout for me.

  • Vegnagun (Tears of the Planet)

Multi-Element Comeback

Multi-Element cards (the non-Limit Break versions) are officially back! It’s been 11 Opuses since we last saw these in From Nightmares, so it’s about time they made a return to the meta.

 


Card Spotlight: Shantotto (30-080L)

Let’s look at the math on this new Shantotto, because it is potentially terrifying.

  • Cost/Power: 8 CP / 9000 Power

  • Element: Lightning

  • The “Free Play” Potential: Shantotto’s cost is reduced for each Lightning Character you control. If you’ve built your board right, she can effectively be a Free Play.

The Board Wipe: When she enters the field, she deals 1000 damage to all Forwards (excluding herself) for every Lightning Character you control.

The Math: If you have 8 characters out to make her free, she enters and deals 8000 damage + 1000 for herself = 9000 damage to the entire board.

The Value Engine: As if a board wipe wasn’t enough, every time she attacks, you reveal the top card of your deck. If it’s Lightning, it goes straight to your hand. She clears the path and then refills your resources.


Refia or Sephiroth?

Aside from Shantotto, the other card art revealed so far is top-tier. I’m currently torn between the new Sephiroth and Refia for my favorite art in the set—both look incredible.

What do you think of the new Shantotto? Is she a guaranteed inclusion in your Lightning decks, or is 8 CP too much of a gamble?

It’s President’s Day, and that means we should have a sale.

Well we talked to the President, who handed it down to the Vice President, who gave it to the Board of Directors, and they said we should offer a 15% off Coupon.

March of the Machine – The Aftermath

We managed to find some Epilogue Boosters of March of the Machine : The Aftermath.

Now, we’re still not a Brick & Mortar store, so that means we can’t get product straight from Wizards of the Coast, but that doesn’t mean we can’t grab some items if we find a good deal. And, that we did.

These came out in May of 2023, so that means there a little over a year old. 24 packs per box and 7 cards per pack. It’s a decent deal as every pack comes with a foil card.

We have them priced at $50. You can get them here.
