Sophie’s Choice

Another great card here, as we move on with our Card of the Week. Sophie a Monk that packs a Punch. But, why is she carrying a weapon?

On the the card.

2CP – Earth/Water
Forward
Job : Monk
Category : Mobius
Legend
4000 Power

“For each Earth Forward other than Sophie you control, Sophie gains +2000 power.

For each Water Forward other than Sophie you control, Sophie gains +2000 power.

At the end of each of your turns, if Sophie has 10000 power or more, draw 1 card and Sophie deals your opponent 1 point of damage.”

At 2CP, this card is a no brainer. And with those abilities, she’s deadly. starting at 4K, but each Earth or Water forward gives her +2K. You can just throw her in a deck with Vikings and call it a day. Now if you control 3 other Forwards that are either Earth or Water, she’ll have 10K. And, at 10K she deals your opponent 1 point of Damage at the end of the turn. Your turn, and your opponents. The game will pretty much take care of itself if you just pass and defend Sophie.

We already said Leila (6-126R) and Vikings, namely Viking (4-133C). You play Leila for 4CP grab a Viking out of your Break Zone and play it onto the field. That takes care of 2 Forwards. Sarah (MOBIUS) (13-118C) would also be a good choice as you can use her first ability when she enters and have Sophie get rid of a pesky Forward your opponent controls.

The quicker you can get Sophie on the field, the quicker you’ll be heading towards victory.

Heir, to the Throne

Let’s take a dive into the Water. Legend, that is. Ovelia, Princess of Ivalice, the rightful heir to the throne.

Let’s take a look

3CP/Water
Backup
Job : Princess
Category FFT
Legend

“When a Category FFT Forward you control is put from the field into the Break Zone, draw 1 card. This effect will trigger only once per turn.

Aegis (S)(D): Choose 1 Forward you control. Until the end of the turn, it gains Haste and “When this Forward is put from the field into the Break Zone, play this Forward from the Break Zone onto the field dull””

Looks like we’re playing with Final Fantasy Tactics. As we mentioned before, in the Water Review, about the little combo with Marach (13-080C). You will need to find a way to be able to splash different colors. I was more excited about this card when it was released, but now it seems like will work better in a theme deck. Which is not a bad thing. I have yet to look into new decks to see how this card is being used. My guess would be a Lightning/Water deck. Not only to play Marach, but you also get Ramza (13-121R). Hopefully, you’ll play him for 4CP and your opponent will break a forward and return one to his hand.

But, with Aegis, there should be plenty of cards that you’ll want to bounce back after they have been broken. Aegis almost works like Rinoa’s (6-041L) entry ability, the difference is a card has to be put in the Break Zone to come back. Viking (4-133C) might be a fun one to play, as you’ll be drawing a card when it leaves the field and when it comes back in.

A couple of good card to also have on hand would be Sara (13-093H) the royalty searcher, and Simon (13-094C) as he’ll be able to grab Ovelia from the Break Zone. Giving you more Ovelia cards to reuse her ability.

Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.

Special K

Our card of the week, this week is a Behemoth. I can just say add this to any deck and you have a much better chance of winning.

The Lightning Legend, Behemoth K.

5CP/Lightning
Forward
Job : Sage of Hess
Category : FFBE
9000 Power
Legend

I would say that 5CP is a cheap price to pay to play this card.

“When Behemoth K is chosen by a Forward’s ability, break that Forward.

When Behemoth K attacks, Behemoth K gains +3000 power until the end of the turn. Behemoth K deals your opponent 1 point of damage.

Damage 5 ― Behemoth K gains Haste and “When Behemoth K is blocked, Behemoth K deals your opponent 1 point of damage.””

The plan is to close your eyes. Grab 47 random Lightning cards, and you are set.

I could end the article right there, but we might as well talk a little more about this card.

Behemoth K, Is a great card, but gets even better after you’re at 5 points of Damage. With Haste and the ability to deal your opponent 2 points of Damage per turn is just a terrible experience for your opponent. You on the other hand will be loving every minute of it. It’ll probably be just a minute anyway.

Now, we’ll need to search for Behemoth K, and there’s no one better than Aldo (10-086C) who will search for a Lightning forward. Not only will Aldo let you search for Behemoth K, but also for Illua (5-099H). and, everybody loves Illua. And, you can’t forget about Estinien (6-088L). Behemoth K and Estinien is like having Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage on a tag team. Wait, they were a tag team. The Mega Powers.

Sage (1-133C) is also a good choice to be able to grab Behemoth K from the Break Zone. And Lulu (1-150R) to add 1K power to all the Lightning Forwards.

You can probably add Kunshira (13-114H) to the Mix and have a Forward that will be able to attack twice per turn in the early game. Since Kunshira is a multi-element card you’ll need to add some wind cards to your deck. Just grab those staples and you’ll be all right.

Any ideas on what to pair Behemoth K with? Tell us in the comment section.

The Leo King

Here come the King. King Leo, or just Leo as the text says on the card. Hailing from Crystal Chronicles. Kind of gives you an idea on what to play.

On to the Stats.

1CP/Earth
Forward
Job : King
Category : FFCC
3000 Power
Legend

At 1CP, you should be able to play Leo whenever you need to.

“When Leo enters the field, place 1 Kingdom Counter on Leo for each Category FFCC Character you control.

(1)(D), remove X Kingdom Counters from Leo, Choose 1 Forward other than Card Name Leo, Light or Dark in your Break Zone. If its cost is X, play it onto the field. You can only use this ability during your turn and only once per turn.”

The plan would be to play Leo, give him Haste, and have him play the card from the Break Zone onto the field. But, you’ll need to make sure you have enough Category FFCC Characters on the field.

Then attack with Leo for an easy break, and replay him to get another big body on the field. As long as it’s not Leo, or a Light or Dark card, you can play anything you want. Bhunivelze (13-062H) comes to mind right away. Feolthanos (10-098L), Behemoth K (13-079L) are both good choices as well. And if you can get some of these cards on back to back turns, you are very likely to be in a good position.

Now, what are some good FFCC cards to pair with Leo?

Let’s find some searchers. Epitav (6-067R) and Kolka (7-069C) will both let you search for Leo. While Luminous Puma (8-080C) will allow you to grab Leo from the Break Zone. You might as well grab Larkeicus (9-076H) to be able to grab Luminous Puma from the Break Zone or to search for him.

And, since Luminous Puma is a 5 cost, might as well add Mira (4-137L) to the mix. And when Luminous Puma is put from the field into the Break Zone, you can search for a Luminous Puma and add it to your hand. You can add all sorts of Monsters. Especially ones that turn into Forwards.

Now, I think it would be a great idea to play Tyro ((11-072R), as he can also search for Leo, but he will also allow you to dull for any color CP. Allowing you to play any element that you’d like. As all the FFCC Forwards are different elements, this will allow you to bring all the Crystal Chronicles characters into the game for Leo to use his ability. Go ahead and play that Yuri/Chelinka Combo from Opus VII.

You might also want to add Sara (13-093H) to the mix as she will allow you to search for royalty.

Do you think Leo will survive the Opus, and be a card worth playing? Let us know in the comments.

Shara, Viera

Here comes Shara, wind Legend of Opus XIII. As in the game Shara protected Ritz, and that is pretty much what she will be doing.

On to the Card

2CP/Wind
Forward
Job : Archer
Category : FFTA
4000 Power
Legend

Cheap card to play, and let’s you grab a card form the Break Zone. Basically, Free.

“EX BURST When Shara enters the field, choose 1 Card Name Ritz in your Break Zone. Add it to your hand.

When a Category FFTA Character other than Shara enters your field, place 1 Viera Counter on Shara.

(D), remove 1 Viera Counter from Shara: Choose 1 Category FFTA Character. It gains “This Character cannot be chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities.” until the end of the turn.”

You’ll want to play as many Final Fantasy Tactics Advance cards as you can get. To keep adding Viera Counters on Shara. And then you’ll just keep using her ability on Ritz.

Right off the bat, we’ll add Marche (11-017H) and Ritz (11-063L) and you’ve won the game. But, we’ll need more cards to complete this deck. Might as well add Llednar (13-108L) because he’s shiny and new. The other Llednar might work as well, both are good cards in my opinion. Doned (11-053H) Will allow you to search for Marche, which will in turn allow you to play Ritz. You’ll need at least one Fire Backup, Black Mage (8-007C) might be a good pick as he’ll add a Viera Counter on Shara. Or you can always play Princess Sarah (11-128H)

The other cards are up to you. You can throw in the Shikarees and your opponent won’t know who to go after first. Fill your deck up with Chocobos and you’ll swarm your opponent.

Of course you’ll want to add some Wind staples. Maria (1-083H), Aerith (1-064R), and Rikku EX (2-071R).
Any ideas? Let us know what you would do in the comments.
