25-035L – Aerith

Aerith comes in for 2CP, and when she does come in you’ll choose a Character and they will lose all of their abilities until your opponent gets rid of Aerith or she gets broken. Spoiler Kind of like how Sephiroth broke her. Oops, Spoiler alert.

When Aerith is put into the Break Zone, you can decide to remover her from the game, allowing you to draw a card.

It might even be another Aerith that you can play once more.

Consider Aerith as a Free Play!

And, we all like Free Plays.

25-036R – King

Here’s a way to get rid of the pesky Forward that is causing you trouble.

King comes in and returns one of your opponent’s Forwards to their hand.

If that’s not enough just make sure you have 5 Cadets on the field and that Forward will go to the bottom of their deck instead.

Either way, your opponent will need to spend resources to get that Forward back on to the field, where they could have used all that CP on something else.

If nothing else, King will slow down your opponent.

After that King is a king sized Meat Shield. Or an attacker. Whichever works best for you.

25-037H – Queen

Mark my words, Cadets will make a comeback.

At least I think so. And, why wouldn’t you? Especially when you have a card like Queen.
Once per turn you can activate 2 Class Zero Cadets Backups.

And then you will be able to use those 2 Backups to make use of Queen’s second ability which will allow you to choose 2 cards in your opponent’s Break Zone and remover them from the game.

This is a great card, especially if your opponent has a tendency of grabbing cards from the Break Zone.

25-038C – Goobbue

I don’t get it.

Why would Goobbue want to protect your Forwards, when it looks so hungry. I would have thought it would be something along the lines of “Goobbue, it’s your Forward and it doesn’t come back until Goobbue leaves the field.”

But, nope.

Goobbue has 2 abilities.

Goobbue will protect a Forward from your opponent’s abilities, and Goobbue will protect your Forward from your opponent’s Summons.

You can use one at a time, or both back to back.

25-039C – Cater EX

Do you like Free Plays?

Well Class Zero has one for you.

Cater.

Cater comes in for 2CP, and if you have another Class Zero Cadet on the field, Cater will draw you a card.

And, that’s it.

If you’re ready to swarm the board, Cater will get you there quicker than you normally would.

25-040H – Chocobo Chick (VII)

Get rid of a Wind Backup to play Chocobo Chick for 1CP.

And with that, you will deal 2000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards. You might break some, but odds are that you won’t.

But, this Chocobo Chick just hatched and is not about to stop, because it has one more trick up it’s sleeve.. er .. feathers.

After Chocobo Chick is done dealing damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards, you can play a 2 cost Forward from your hand.

Add this to your Chocobo deck. Or any other deck that has Wind Backups.

25-041C – Thief

I see a pattern here.

One sec, let me check.

…

Yes, how did I not realize this earlier?

Simple, Fire’s card was a Security Officer rather than a Job from Final Fantasy XI.

A Backup comes in and you get 2 choices. One is draw a card, and the other is to protect a Forward from high cost Forwards.

And, that’s a bout it.

25-042C – Zidane

This is a little bit of De Ja Vu here.

We’ve seen Zidane go into your opponent’s deck before, and he would grab a card and send it to the Break Zone. This time, though, if you do choose a card to discard, your opponent will draw a card.

It’s a decent play for 3CP.

You can also put Zidane in the Break Zone, and when you do, you can take 3 cards from your opponent’s Break Zone and remove them from the game.

This is good if your opponent has a tendency to bring back cards from the Break Zone.

25-043H – Cid Highwind

Two!?!

Cid comes in and searches for 2 Forwards?

How is that possible?

Not that I’m complaining, this is great. The only thing greater would be if this came with custom full art as well.

And, at 5 points of damage you can put Cid into the Break Zone and play a 5CP card from your hand?

You’ll be in the green, with Cid Highwind.

I’ll take 3, and 3 more just to be sure.

25-044C – Ceodore

The Crown Prince of Baron.

For 5CP you get a 9K Forward that has built in protection from your opponent’s abilities that Break a Forward, but does not deal damage.

If you don’t mind waiting a turn, you can Warp Ceodore in for a measly 2CP.

And, when Ceodore enters the field, you can grab a card with Warp from your Break Zone. That will bring the 5CP down to 3CP, or Ceodore will be a Free Play if you decide to Warp him in.

The good thing is that Ceodore can be played in any deck, as he has no synergy with any Final Fantasy IV Characters.

25-045C – Chocobo

A one cost Chocobo, that likes to party. And, this Chocobo will party with anybody.

As you set up your attack and party up, it’s highly likely that Chocobo will be broken.

And, that will be ok, because once Chocobo is put into the Break Zone after partying for a turn, you will be able to search for another Chocobo of 2CP or less and play it on the field.

I would pick Chocobo (6-050C), and then you would play another Chocobo from your hand onto the field.

It’s a Break One Get Two. I like that deal.

25-046C – Nine

I was going to start off on how I won’t use this card, because of the other Nine from Crystal Radiance, but we’re here to talk about this card.

Nine is taking care of the back line this time.

And, he can turn the tide in your favor when your Class Zero Cadets attack. For when one of them does, Nine can give that attacking Forward +1000 power and First Strike.

Now I’m going to have to take a closer look at the rest of the Cadets throughout all of the sets.

It’s not bad, but, you’ll need to find your front line.

25-047R – Barbariccia EX

Here we are with our second Archfiend. Barbariccia.

Barbariccia comes in to the field and grabs an Archfiend from your Break Zone, brining it back to your hand.

And, if Golbez is on the field Barbariccia deals 3000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards.

Now, let’s say you have Rinoa (6-041L) and you play her right after Barbariccia, that will be 6000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards. There’s a chance you’ll break at least one of them.

25-048R – The Mandragoras

This is a great little group of Monsters that can overwhelm your opponent.

Once per turn you can turn The Madragoras into a Forward, and have them attack. And when they do attack, they will most likely get blocked. And whenever they deal damage to a Forward, no matter how much power that Forward has, they will break it.

And, if the other Forward breaks the Mandagoras and sends them to the Break Zone, your opponent will choose a Forward that they control and they’ll put that Forward into the Break Zone as well.

Is it worth blocking?

You’ll have to find a way to block without breaking The Mandragoras.

That sounds like a band name.

25-049C – Yuffie

There must be something in the water these ninja’s drink.

Yuffie is ready to come out and wreak havoc from the get go. And she’s only a Common that costs 2CP.

And, let’s not forget Haste, cause whenever Yuffie attacks, she will receive a Shuriken Counter, and if she is blocked she will deal whoever blocks her 4000 damage for each Shuriken Counter that she has.

Yuffie might be small, but she is ready to dish it out with most of your opponent’s Forwards.

I’m going to have to take a look at a Ninja themes deck.

25-050R – Lucia

Did I read that right?

At the end of each of your turns activate all the SOLDIERs you control?

This is … I have no words.

SOLDIER wil dominate 2025 and beyond, simply by having Lucia.

And, as a side note you can dull 3 active SOLDIERs and and draw a card.

You can dull them n your Main Phase 2, and they’ll be activated right afterward, and you’ll have an extra card.

Shinra is set on FFTCG Domination.

25-051L – Rem

Is this the first Legend Rem that we’re getting?

Well, I can say Rem didn’t need to be a Legend, but I’ll take it. Rem will come in and searches for a Cadet and plays that Cadet straight to the field.

The only question you need to answer is, Which Cadet are you looking for?

And, when it’s all said and done, you can send Rem to the Break Zone, and you’ll activate all of your Class Zero Cadets.

Are there better Rems to play? I’d say it depends on what you’re trying to do.
Singles?

The Honor Roll Society

It’s only fitting that our 9th card of the Week is Nine. And I get to talk about Cinque as well.

On to the Card.

6CP – Lightning/Fire
Forward
Job : Class Zero Cadet
Category : Type-0
Legend
9000 Power

“You can dull 1 active Fire Job Class Zero Cadet Forward and 1 active Lightning Job Class Zero Cadet Forward (instead of paying the CP cost) to cast Nine.

When Nine enters the field or attacks, choose 1 Forward opponent controls. Until the end of the turn, it loses 2000 power for each Job Class Zero Cadet you control.”

You will be playing Cadets.

Fire and Lightning.

Might as well play Wind, that way you’ll have access to all the Class Zero Cadets, but since there is no Class Moogle that helps us with the Crystal Points you will likely play a Light or Dark card. Opus I Chaos and Cosmos will work well depending on, if you’d like to play another Light or Dark card.

And if you play your cards right, no pun intended, you’ll be able to get rid of 2 Forwards when Nine enters the field. All you need is a Fire Cadet and a Lightning Cadet, that you will dull for Nine to enter and after that dull Zaidou (10-091C) to give Nine “Haste and First Strike”. You will likely reduce the opponents Forward’s Power more than enough to send it to the Break Zone.

Can’t have a Class Zero without Ace (9-003L), I never took him out of my party when I was playing, so he should be in this deck. Well, that’s my reasoning. That and that you can grab a couple of Cadets and add them to your hand. Plus the 8K body, and that EX Burst, you’ll be knocking out Forwards left and right.

If Deuce (9-052C) was a Backup she would be a Legend, but she is not but, we’ll still play this one.

Trey (3-064H) is probably a card we can do without.

Cater, might as well choose the Backup (3-009C). (13-107C) might work as well, depending on the situation. Maybe play one of each?

Cinque (13-007R), the card that we wanted to build a deck around a Nine was the Legend to do it. Basically you’ll always have more than 7 Class Zero Cadets for Cinque to gain Brave, and “When Cinque attacks, choose 1 Character opponent controls. Break it.” This card paired with Nine and Ace and your opponent will not know what hit them. Plus that extra 4K for Cinque makes her a beast.

Sice (3-109C) can work. As can Seven (3-057R), and Eight (13-036R). Eight is Free as it does not state on his card that the cost for Eight cannot be reduced to 0. Jack (3-111H) can be decent for 1CP.

Now which Queen shall we play? 3-151S or 3-104C? Queen (3-104C) has a better ring for this deck, as you’re already Breaking Forwards with Nine, Cinque and Ace. And Speedrush, will give you a free attack.

King (3-006R) is the last cadet, giving all you Class Zero Cadet Forwards +1K. King can also be played by just discarding a Class Zero Cadet from your hand. Doesn’t matter what element it is.

And then there is Machina (3-022H), not worth it. And Rem (3-072R) should work good, as should (9-059R).

Now, we need backups because all the Cadets we chose are mostly Forwards. Arecia Al-Rashia (3-097R), will allow you to search for a Type-0 Forward. Moogle (Class Zero) (3-150S) will give all your Cadets +1K. Khalia Chival (10-089C) will let you grab a Cadet from the Break Zone.

Now. I’m guessing these shall be your building blocks. I’ve seen a couple of decks with Golbez (13-115L). As you can search for any 2CP card in your deck.

That’s what we have for Nine. Any ideas? Let us know.

Opus XIII – Multi-Element Review

13-105R – Lasswell

Your opponent discards a card, and you get to deal extra damage every time a Fire or Ice Forward attacks.

Will go perfect in a Fire/Ice VI Deck

 

 

 

13-106H – Onion Knight

You can just keep recycling Onion Knight, every time he is put into the Break Zone. Plus, deal 9K Damage to three Forwards, by removing 3 Onion Knights from the Break Zone. Doesn’t even have to be this Onion Knight. You could remove any of them, including the 1CP Onion Knights from Opus X.

 

 

 

13-107C – Cater

Most of the time, you will only be using the first ability. Activate 3 Backups to either use the other Backup’s ability, or to add more bodies on the field.

 

 

 

 

13-108L – Llednar

Talk about a way to get your opponent to Discard 2 Cards. And, then you still need to deal with Llednar. Add this to Marche/Ritz and you have a good chance at winning.

 

 

 

 

13-109R – Hope

Freeze and Activate, either way this card packs a punch. Dull a card it is now Frozen.
This is one of the better Hope cards. If not the best one yet. Even beats out the Opus IV Hope (4-068H)

 

 

 

 

13-110H – Unei

Let your opponent pick their poison. They get to choose which Summon you’ll cast.
As for Holy, Holy Moly!!!

Deal a dull Forward 20K Damage. That’s sure to knock anyone out. Even Behemoth K (13-079L). Sacrificing Unei is a worth getting rid of Behemoth K.

 

 

 

13-111C – Delita

This Delita would go well in the Tactics Deck. Although you’ll end up playing 4 different colors, but with Tyro (11-072R) You shouldn’t have a problem getting around that.

 

 

 

 

13-112L – White Tiger l’Cie Nimbus

If you’re playing Ice/Earth, sure. But, I believe Genesis (3-033L) would be a better play.

 

 

 

 

 

13-113R – Gudon

Yes, Please and Thank You.

This card should not be a Rare, it should be at least a Hero.
Brave – Check
Attack twice – Check
Doesn’t Dull – Check

What more can you ask for.

 

13-114H – Kunshira

Early in the game this card is a Beast. 2CP/9K with Haste. And Tempest Spellblade? Add in Behemoth K, and another 44 cards. Doesn’t matter what the other cards will be. You have a winner here.

And, it’s only a Hero

 

 

 

13-115L Golbez

How fast can you get yourself to 6 Damage, and how many Archfiends will you have in your hand? Considering there’s only 4, it’s up to you to find out which one is the best one when your playing with your back against the wall. That’s when we play our best. High risk, high reward.

Technically, you can search for four Forwards of 2CP, and all four of the Archfiends have a variation that is a 2 cost. You won’t even need them to be in your hand as you can just search for them and play them.

Just play all four from this set, and you should be good to go. Definitely worth a try.

13-116C – Lightning

2CP/5K is OK, but other than have her search for Odin, Lightning (5-116H) is a much better play in my opinion.

 

 

 

 

13-117R – Wol

+2K to all Mobius Forwards, plus a way to grab Mobius characters from the Break Zone. This Wol might give Wol (5-075L) a run for his money.

 

 

 

 

13-118C – Sarah (MOBIUS)

Decent card for 2CP, you can either Break a Forward, or Draw a card.

 

 

 

 

 

13-119L – Sophie

This is the card Sarah (Mobius) (13-118C) was made to be paired with. As Sophie gains 2K power for each Earth or Water Forward on the field, you can easily bulk her up to 10K in which she will be able to defeat all Forwards. Minus one or 2.

The real treat comes at the end of the turn. If Sophie has 10K Power or more, you get to Draw a card and your opponent gets 1 point of Damage.

Watch out for that EX Burst.

 

13-120H – Doga

You’ll get 3 cards back if you discard Summons to play Doga. And, with those 3 Summons in your Break Zone, Doga gains 1K.

That would be enough to play him, but there’s more.

9 Summons in your Break Zone means you can cast a Summon when Doga attacks.

 

 

13-121R – Ramza

If you’re playing a Tactics Deck, Ramza seems like he’ll be a good card. Choosing which 2 cards your opponent can choose from in which they have to discard 1.

If you’re not playing Tactics, this Ramza is too expensive, and there are plenty of other Ramza’s to choose from.

 

 

 

13-122H – Aldore Emperor

Most of the time, you’ll be Breaking at least 1 Forward. At Damage 5 it’ll be 2 Forwards. Is the 5CP worth it? I’ll say … Yes. After you’re done with the abilities, you’ll still have a 9K body on the field.

 

 

 

 

13-123L – Nine

If you’re playing Cadets this is a no brainer. You don’t even need to pay the cost to play Nine. Just Dull 2 Cadet Forwards, one Lightning and one Fire, and you have a 9K body to throw around. And every time Nine attacks for 9K, his ability comes into play and one of your opponents Forwards loses 2K for each Class Zero Cadet that you control.

Nine for 9K. Sounds like a special

Nine here, and Cinque (13-007R), shall be the basis of my new Cadets Deck.

 

13-124C – Noel

Hey, might as well use this card to give Nine (13-123L) Haste and 2K. And it’s not just because I’m excited about Nine.

 

 

 

 

13-125R – Yuzuki

Fire, Water, Burn. Have all your Fire Forwards be Damage Free from abilities, and reducing Damage to Water Forwards by 2K.

Does Yuzuki count as both a Fire and a Water Forward?

Not a Cadet but could be a good addition.

 

 

13-126C – Ultimecia

Either way you’ll have an advantage. As you can bring back a card to your hand and recast it for it’s on entry ability. At 2CP it’s a good card to keep on hand.

 

 

 

 

13-127H – Chime

Yes, and if you have enough CP to play this twice in one turn, than Ultimecia (13-126C), will work out well. Dull and Freeze 2 Forwards, and Return another 2 to your opponents hand. There’s a good chance you’ll have a couple of free shots. And, who doesn’t like Free.

 

 

 

13-128L – Celestia

Your opponent will think twice before casting a Summon on your Ice Characters, as it will cause one of there Cards to Dull and Freeze. Just having Celestia on the field should cause your opponent to play a little more cautiously.
